I have just finished creating my materials for small groups that I will lead online and at group meetings.
****IMPORTANT: Recommend that each of your affiliates invest $50 to $100 in their business until they make that much in revenue. I recommend S-builder and TCredits.****
1. Make sure that each PSA or CSA understands this is a business that requires investment. Whether that investment is in time or with money, it requires commitment.
Have them start advertising as soon as possible.
2. Encourage the affiliate to take the first month slow. You want them to qualify, but just barely. Have them re-read and understand the lessons in Launchpad and Start, and encourage your affiliate to log in each day. Save the majority of the VP Ledger points for the second month.
3. I worked out that if you only do the launch pad lessons, but not the extra reading lessons- saving them for month 2, that the affiliate could still have enough versa points to qualify as an EA2 as long as they did as much as possible to earn the rest of the VP Ledger Points.
4. For the subsequent months, it is hoped that the advertising bares fruit. I would continue to encourage your affiliates to purchase S-Builder Co-ops.

1. I say the first month and the training are free.
2. Then explain that this is a real business.
3. Explain you are looking for people that can invest at least $50 per month in their own business.
4. By explaining yourself this way, you don't get people that will just sign in once and then quit the second month.

1. Free- Search for penny auction groups, the open ones, on Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and Bing. Make sure to obey the group rules, participate in the conversation, and recommend your penny auction site. Advertise on Classifieds, and any where that accepts ads.
2. Pay - You don't have to pay much to reach a lot of people. I went to a site that only cost $5. (Fiverr). I found so many options for advertising.
What is the best way to greet new affiliates, that will get them excited and active with SFI?

The best way, that I have experienced, to greet new affiliates, is by using honesty.
I find that I have a more responsive and excited affiliate when they understand that this is a business and not a get rich quick scheme. Explain that businesses require an investment of time and money. Don't ask for money or tell them they have to buy something, just make them aware of the basics of owning a business.
Encourage the affiliate to sign in each day, and if possible, try to sign in at the same time and chat.
If you are able, give a gift of TCredits. Explain that you are giving them 30 or 50 TCredits now, to use and understand how Triple Clicks works.
Celebrate their accomplishments.

I recommend the following:
1. Duplication: An example of this is raising children. They copy everything the parent does. By the same token, you want your affiliate, CSA and PSA, to do the same things you are doing.
A. If you start with the basics, and let your affiliate know this:they will start with the same thing.
B. If you sign in every day, do your daily tasks, research, and ask your upline or sponsors, then by you example, the affiliates will do the same thing.
2. If you don't know the answers, be upfront, let the affiliate know that you are contacting your upline or researching the answer and will get back with them.
3. Follow up.
A. Just as you make sure where you child is- whether climbing a wall or actually doing their homework, so to should you make sure that your affiliate knows what they should be doing.
B. Ask the affiliate if they need help in a certain area- don't scream at them, like you might the child on the wall, but gently guide by asking how you may help them.

This depends on what you consider success.
1. If success means that you EARN MONEY QUICKLY, you could use various methods on TripleClicks.
A. Pay-per-action - get paid for signups to TripleClicks and SFI.
B. Penny Auctions - sell 200 tcredit cards for the Penny Auctions
C. ECA - sell your own items
2. If success means that you BUILD A LONG TERM BUSINESS, then sponsoring SFI affiliates is the way to go.
3. The BEST OPTION would be to merge all of the various methods into one business.
A. Start by doing your daily tasks and training for SFI.
B. While training, advertize you TripleClick sites.(I advise this because I didn't do it at all during the first month- now I am playing catch-up.)
C. Start with one TripleClick site, and add more as you learn about them from SFI.
D. Then, start adding as many affiliates as possible. TripleClicks sells CSA's and PSA's but the best way would be to use the penny auctions, while you build up your downline from other sources.

How do you become a superstar in SFI?

To become a Superstar, you must first do the work. Superstars don't happen over night. They train for many years for that one moment, that one year, or that one Olympics to become a Superstar.
SFI is a Business, Treat it like a business.
STEP 1. Slow and Steady wins the Race
Start by signing in each day. Click the start button, and follow the directions. Then, make sure to read the each launchpad lesson and click for the points. Consistently, make sure to click the red tabs, read the page, and then click the blue box at the bottom of the page. Do your best to stay above the green line.
STEP 2. Advertise
Start Advertising! From Now! Use free safelists. Try to sell TCredit cards for TripleClicks. Click the Marketing section and read it for tips.
STEP 3 Invest in your Business and in Yourself
Once you have made enough to afford a standing order for S-Builder Co-Op, purchase it. Then purchase a standing order of TCredits. Then keep purchasing S-Builder Co-ops
Step 4 Patience
Rome wasn't built in a day.
SFI has 6 income streams. Databases and Databases of training material. Spend time each day do actually do the daily tasks. SFI assigns which lessons you need to do on a given day. Learning takes time and your sponsor, co-sponsor, and upline are there for you if you need help. You will find, if you maintain your EA status, you will do well. If your rise in the ranks to a Team Leader, do your best, each month, to stay a Team Leader.
Most businesses are not out of debt until about the 5th year of business. I made a modest profit my first month. I don't owe anything. That was profit. Next month I will do at least double that. All, Profit. Realize you must do the work, and profit will come. I think by my month 3, I will be making significantly more than that. It just takes time, respecting SFI as a business, and following the SFI's training.

I have some suggestions:
1. Check out your MRP points to see, if you can purchase something with that.
2. Use your Triple Credits to purchase something, if you have any. Or use them to list items.
3. Make sure you review all of the "allowed" purchases for 25 versa points each. Basically, not any digital stuff, as SFI does not consider these items worth reviewing.
4. If possible, print out some fliers and hand them out to random strangers in a parking lot, bus stop, or other public and allowed place. These can just be black and white from your printer if you have one.
5. Go to public places and start talking about SFI. Bus stops, parks, public places with people. Make a large cardboard chart, get permission from the public place, get phone numbers, email addresses etc of anyone interested to call later.
6. Call friends and relatives to sign up to help you out.
7. Get a phone book and call random strangers - called cold calling. this does work if you put a lot of time in it.
This should get you started.

Which advertizing you choose, depends on how much time you have and on how much money you have.
When using FREE ADVERTISING, you will spend a great deal of time searching for places to place your ads, and you may have to spend money for paper, ink, cards, etc...
When using PAID ADVERTISING, you spend a great deal less time. Whether you choose S-Builder Co-op, or another ad agency, you will generally have a better response than posting to safe-lists.
