It is all very nice to help one's affiliates if one has that capacity. However, I can tell one thing that I believe. I am a new one, only two months here. My sponsor has sent me some pre-written mails but nothing more. So it was me to help me and nobody else.

My understanding is that if one wants to succeed, he must depend on his/her own abilities. If one doesn't have money to become EA by buying products, then he/she should opt for other methods. Personally I subscribed to standing orders,

It is indeed a very hard thing as I am experiencing myself. I have 4 PSAs and 65 CSAs. But none is active, many have quit. How do you keep them from quitting eh?

I can tell one thing though. If the affiliates do not have the inner urge to stay and keep going here, you just can not keep them from quitting. What will you do? Once or twice you might help them with money meaning helping them with money to buy products but You can not spend money for them forever. After all you are here to

Your question is self contradictory. You want to pursue this business and yet, you don't have time. How is that possible you tell yourself.

Suppose you open a business physically, OK? You have to spend a great deal of time. First you have to select the premise, then buy your products, plan the look of the shop, advertise so people will know about your business, attend the shop so you can supervise everything, employ people to run the business, care about their salary, your expenses, buying

The main question is why everybody is here, why you are here? To earn right? And obviously you don't have a lot of money or else why would you come here, join and click and click to earn a few VP? And ask yourself, who supported you financially when you were in a fix? I can not of course tell about you but nobody supported me that I can tell.

What I want to emphasize is that if you have joined a business, you must have the capacity to invest a little money. I have no money and I will do

What is the best strategy for earning quickly with SFI?

The thing is, if you want to earn quick, you have to spend. Money brings money as the old saying goes. If you have money, go buy 50 units of s-builder co-op units that will give you about 150 to 200 PSA per month and considering even 5% of those are active, you start earning big. Other than that, well, no quick ways I guess.

How do you get your affiliates engaged and conversing regularly with you?

Its a very difficult task if the affiliates are not themselves interested in either the SFI business or communicating with you. No matter how much you write to them, try to motivate them, keep regular touch through group mailer or individual mails or keen to support them, ultimately it is them who should be active. Motivation is something that comes from within, not without.

Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?

THERE DEFINITELY IS SHORT CUTS!

Now you would ask what? Simple. Each month, you buy 5 units of "50 PSAs to Go" which will cost you $695 each month. It will also give you 8110 VPs. So each month you get 5 X 50 = 250 PSAs. Then you can also buy 50 PSAs to Go for 5 of your PSAs which will cost you anothet $695 per month. So for $695 X 2 = $1390 each month, you will get 250 direct PSAs for you. The 5 PSAs whom you bought the same will also get 50 PSAs each for them.

Recruiting PSAs or ECAs--which will generate the quickest income?

First thing is that you can not recruit CSAs. Those are either won in the price bender auctions, or are awarded by SFI. So the question of recruiting CSAs just doesn't arise.

Secondly, PSAs give you more advantages. You get matching vp from them and this go down upto 12 levels depending on your status. Moreover, you get more reward when your PSAs purchase anything from tripleclicks.

So which is more beneficial you think?

How do you deal with PSAs who you offer unconditional support but still rate you poorly?

This is a very unique question. I can say for my own sponsor. Apart from sending me group mails which benefit him, he did not care to write to me or answer a single mail of the lot I have written to him. So obviously, I would rate him the lowest one, right?

On the other hand, I was very fortunate to have one co-sponsor who is very active and caring. Naturally I give her the highest possible rating.

The question is what do you do when you help your affiliates a lot but they rate

If you can sponsor a lot of affiliates, that's best of course. Problem is, can you? Because you see, it's not the question of sponsoring three or four or ten affiliates as there is no guarantee they would be active. Of course, if you can sponsor 5 or 6 affiliates and all of them become super active and their affiliates and their affiliates etc. also become super active, certainly that will be enough. But the big question is where is the guarantee? So you would need as many affiliates as possible,
