That's a good question to ask as many new affiliates are struggling to get started.

After just 10 months from joining and having a team of over 800 in my downline, I found myself each week sending my team mail, to only get 5 or so reply's back. Over the months I have learned that regardless on how well your emails are written or excited you are about SFI, your team does'nt always have the same view. I now work closely with all my active affiliates and although I write to my non-active

Hi, This is a great question for SFI newbies as tracking your SFI links with codes can play an important role in your advertising efforts.

Tracking your SFI gateways with codes is very easy to do but must be monitored weekly for successful results.

Once I discover a particular gateway code thats get better response then I mass advertise that link for maximum potential results.

Let me explain, As each Sunday your HIT TRACKING is reset in your Power Tools Menu, you

Education is they key..

I didn't have any internet marketing skills when I first started and I was definitely too shy to talk about a business I knew little about. Your secret to this business is to log in daily, vote on as many ASK SC questions ad possible and visit the SFI forum on regular basis.

When you start gaining experience in this business, your knowledge and self confidence starts to grow to a level that in time will eliminate all these fears you may have when you

They are both great steps to take in this business. "Duplication = Compensation". The more time you focus on promoting your business the more chances you have of finding your leaders.

I spend many hours weekly on looking for new avenues online where I can promote my business FREE and I also invest in buying PSA's as often as my budget allows.

The best team building skill you can develop is when you work daily on those goals. Team building takes time and finding good

I think this is a great question to ask.
When I first started using my genealogy filters I found it very confusing at first.

This is a very powerful and vital tool in our SFI business and I use it almost every day. I find that I use my Quick Filters for 70% of my daily research and 30% of my general filters. If you take the time to practice utilizing your genealogy filters and understanding how they work, you will discover the importance on how you can monitor you team growth daily

I think online and offline recruiting are important equally. Online sponsoring is a skill that must be learned and developed and so is offline.

I find that what I spend most of my time on I get the most success , therefore I utilize our SFI marketing methods [ https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods ] to help me develop a strong business of the future with online and offline presence.

What do I need to do to make myself the best SFI affiliate possible?

To be the best affiliate is to become an awesome sponsor. Duplication is the key to becoming successful in SFI and daily dedication is the 'Secret'. Make it your mission to invest a minimum of one to two hours daily in learning about your business. Help your team whenever they need your help to the best of your ability and encourage them weekly.
This is the method I have used to stay rated 5 star monthly. I hope this helps out.

I place all my Affiliates in three categories when they arrive.
A) Lookers - B) Potentials - C)Action Takers

A) Lookers - These affiliates sign up because it's FREE to join with no obligation as the advertising promotes. And that is fine with me because that is the only way you will grow this business is by sharing it with more and more people.

B) Potentials- These are the new affiliates that, show a little interest by confirming their registration so now they can receive

What a good question to ask...
Here's my many years experience in advertising to help answer this question.

All advertising campaigns should have a minimum of Four Basic Rules.

1: Use a Grabbing Headline: Up to 80% of all article readership are based on Headlines.
(Your headline should be a brief description/intro of your whole story/article)

2: Body Copy: What are you about?
(This is where you can express a few benefits/features about your

This is a great question,

Each morning I log into SFI I ask myself 'what can I do extra today' that will encourage my non performing psa's and csa's to take action. And after over a year in SFI I know the answer.

Improve yourself. That's it. Lead by example daily and one day when they log in and check out your Leadership Page, they can see for themselves what they are missing out on.

Commitment is the secret to any success and that's something that comes from the
