Thanks to one of my co-affiliates, I have recently learned to utilize the Genealogy Page more thoroughly.

What a wonderful question!

Part of our business includes communication with our team or down line as it is commonly called. We naturally want to encourage our affiliates where they are weak, educate our affiliates and congratulate those who are succeeding.

Most of us like to build our team by rewarding our "Movers" ( active PSA's or CSA's) with PSA's that are not active, in the hopes that our "Movers" can have better success. I target inactive PSA's matching the language of my "Mover" and transfer them. This has proven most successful as I had 4 affiliates that I transferred in the last 2 monthes who gained over 600 Versa Points each. This gave me an added award of 20 Versa Points on my to do list! Not to mention the VP I now earn from their success as commission.

Genealogy allows us to target PSA's and CSA's in so many ways. These include but not limited to:

Country: This lets you know which countries are more active with SFI so you can target your online campaigns to countries you know are more apt to join.

Versa Points: Not all your movers may fit on the Mover page. This will have all your movers and you can encourage and congratulate them.

Last Log In * It is very important to let you know who needs encouragement so you can reach out to them personally

New CSA's: SFI is wonderful about rewarding it's "Movers" with CSA's with certain achievements.I have many very active CSA's and I am most grateful. Or we may a have won 50 or 100 CSA's in the price benders auction. Genealogy can target these new team members so that we can introduce ourselves and develop relationships.

Online: this is a great way to let your Movers know you are following their progress and you are there for support. You can send them an instant message or just thank them for being active in a group message.


Genealogy allows us to do all this and much much more.

When I send my movers PSA's as rewards, I now recommend them they practice using the Genealogy page with them. It helps to strengthen their skills as a team leader.

I hope this helps you.

To your Success!

Excellent Question!

I believe they both are useful.

The S-builder Co-op allows a minimal investment with slower but steady PSA sign up.

With PSA's-To-Go, you can buy PSA's in groups of 10, 20,or 50~as many groups of each you wish. Also if you make it a standing order the Versa Points will help you maintain your EA status every month. If you utilize your genealogy page correctly, you can write these new PSA's in groups by language, country, activity, date joined, Versa Points, EA status, in the fast track program, Team leaders,Email validated, and more in group or singularly. There are online translation sites I use to translate to other languages and this has been most helpful.

Therefore, I would have to ask you. What are you comfortable with at present with your knowledge base of SFI?

Do you feel comfortable bringing on a large group? There is a larger expense, but with a system, I have found PSA's to go quite successful. I tend to get many questions by email.

Or would you rather work with your PSA's one at a time. This ads a more personal touch which PSA's usually like. You also should have less questions to deal with at once.

I hope this helps.

To Your Success!

Thank you for your awesome question.
In my welcome letter and my welcome instant message e-card to my new personally sponsored affiliates and co-sponsored affiliates, I am sure to include my email. I ask them and urge them to please write me with the simplest question they may have. I also refer them to my blog which explains affiliate marketing to the newest of new person in online marketing. My blog answers questions like, what is a URL or referral link? How do you copy and paste urls? How do you upload a picture? What is a Warm Market. What is an ad exchange? and this list goes on.
Also, I tell them that I started new to affiliate marketing myself about 6 month before I joined SFI and that I understand how something we feel we should know can stop our progress if we don't ask the question and get some help.

Finally. I refer them to the SFI training tab and the Marketing tab. Gery has done a great job of offering educational programs for all levels of experience in online marketing.
I have gotten in the habit of asking my affiliates who do write me with questions, to tell me about their computer business experience so I can help them on their level.
See you at the top!

If you can follow the suggestions of your sponsor and duplicate what your sponsor is doing you should be able to build a great team. If your sponsor is not showing you how he or she uses duplication then you can write SFI for a change to a new sponsor who teaches you how to duplicate ways to increase their business. If you can continue completing the To-Do-List daily, your do diligence will eventually pay off as you read and learn new ways to get and build your team of how to earn more money, PSAs and CSAs with SFI's programs. Eg Daily Grand and Daily Crown should be done daiy. I put this message in my welcome letter and suggest to my new Team copies to copy my welcome letter and use it until they know enough to write their own. You will learn more ways to build and retain the team as you work this program by default. Just keep reading and voting on these questions alone is a powerful education. Be sure to ask your sponsor for help letting your sponsor know what your concerns and frustrations are. They were new once too.
People learn at different speed. The SFI program is repetitive so eventually you cannot help but learn how to earn with SFI.
You CAN build a successful online business!

I would have asked more questions and not have felt like I was bothering my sponsor by asking them. I would not have backed away from SFI frustrated during the 6 weeks I did. I would have had more faith that this program really works and clicked through my To Do List faithfully even though I has no money to invest because there are many great ways to build this business without starter cash. eg. posting affiliate links on social media and earning commissions when the item sells. I would have watched all the videos online about SFI because I am a much better audio visual learner than reader.
I hope this helps

There are actually many ways. Because each person is different and from their own culture, time zone and speaks their own language I believe we must get creative with out communication.
Of course E-cards are a great way to pass along a quick tip, welcome or offering congratulations when you great new team members or check your mover's VP ledger. I try to keep a translation page open so that I can communicate in their language.
Skype is a great way to communicate with team members who speak your language.

Genealogy is a great way to send group tips in specific languages to targeted generation, levels or type of team member be it PSA's or CSA's.

Social media is a great way to communicate as well as network. What we do can be emulated buy our team, such as posting a vendors TripleClicks item for commission and congratulating a team member on advancement winnings and success. With different time zones, I find this an awesome way to communicate.

Good old fashioned email tend to be a common way for my affiliates to contact me as well. Again, I try to use translation pages to make it easier on the affiliate to understand offering my favorite link I use so they can use it themselves.
For a large group of team members there are meeting sights you pay money monthly for and some are now free though limited. This is a great way to bring people onto your sight and teach them what you do that makes you successful. Team members can chat with you and ask question live or be muted until after your presentation.
Some people make You Tube presentations for their team members. This is great but limited to the language you speak. But I have been known to send some of my team members to You Tube to find a presentation in their language about a certain program SFI provides.
Finally there's texting and telephone calls. Time zone's make this one challenging for some.
Your comfort zone and theirs will ultimately decide what form you use and when.

I hope this helps!

Absolutely not! We are all here at SFI to get ahead financially and make a better life for ourselves. Everyone comes to SFI with different life experiences regarding business and internet. They also come with different learning skills and aptitude. Identifying how your affiliate learns best if they are challenged is key to your success. This business does not allow us to get to know our affiliates well often with language, distance and culture barriers. We do not know their life challenges or scheduled available time for SFI. There is A LOT of information to absorb and understand to succeed with SFI.
I have had affiliates start up later because I sent a letter out that explained SFI a different way and discussed other ways to learn how it works such as video or simply transferring them to some one on my team who speaks their language.
Every person deserves the most help we can give them in hope that they will give that same help to their team.
I guess the question is..
How successful do you want to be?
I get out what I put in.

Great question.

I find Bitly to be the best way to track my ads especially at first. you can actually use a combination of the SFI tracking system and Bitly.com. It's free. It breaks down your hits to country, ad exchanges, and time. It shows an actually graph 24 hours, days or even up to months. This way you know who the active countries are and when for which ad and you can target them on the better ad exchanges.
There is one downfall. Facebook does not let you use bit.ly and there are some other sits that won't let you use a double link. Keep this in mind if the site will not post your link and use just the SFI tracking.
There is also TinyUrl which I have seen used a lot but I am not familiar with it. After a while you will just know when the best times to run your ads are and where.

Best of success!

Great question John.

You may never know due to the many styles of email out there. I have just discovered recently that Gmail places many of the emails into categories even when I have I have whitelisted them. If you do not go into these files regularly, you will not get the email.

Your best bet is to educate your team of this when they join and do some education intermittently.

1) New affiliates are excited and hungry for knowledge when they join. Your leadership page is a great way to notify them that Emails could be hiding in files or spam and that you love hearing back from them.

2)Steam is another awesome way to make your PSA's aware of email challenges. Let them know you like to hear from them and know how thy are doing. The Mover's category is great but it is only as interactive as you are with it. You can send instant messages as well

3) Social Media is another way to send the word out that you are emailing your team and would LOVE to hear from them. Hey SFI Team, I sent you all an awesome email with great tips, Check your spam or update folders!" I have all my social media links in my email signature. *( this also lets your friends know you HAVE an SFI TEAM!....and may spark their interest.

4) Instant message your affiliates when they are online. Let them know you are emailing them and to check their spam and other files. Ask for a response!

5) Some email companies allow you to get an app that shows you a window stating "this Email" just opened by Jane Doe. I use this and I love it! Gmail has an app for this.

Best Success to you!

This s a great question.

Human nature often leads us to think that when people are not investing, they do not want to. Often people do not have the funds to invest. We must remember this as we invite our down line to invest. I have affiliates who do not have the funds as I did not when I joined, so I am sure to send the message out about sites that pay you for tasks so that you can make money to get going with SFI like I did. People may not want to admit this so I am sure to send out the word in group mail. These sites don't pay enough to be full time businesses and SFI far surpasses their earning potential, but they are great small cash accumulators to invest in SFI. I did exactly this.
I am also sure to mention the free games to play on SFI and prizes won from entering the hourly draws Daily Grand. For investing, we get extra points in the raffle. T credits can be earned once daily with the Hourly Draw.

That aside, now I can talk about investing and the perks that go with it.

Why to buy T- Credits...

I have won hundreds of CSA's with the Price Bender Auctions for as little as 76 cents for 100.

Using T Credits to play games entitles you to be eligible for prizes you can build your business with. Check out the winnings for the Daily Crown on TripleClicks.
.
Why to buy PSA's

I buy 50-100 PSA's with PSA's to go Standing Order. 1 to 3 of these affiliates usually do well with SFI.

Why to buy nutrition drink......

I buy the nutrition liquid monthly. It's good for me! and I get action points monthly as a standing order. Automatic EA2 for taking care of myself!

Why to spend money on your business in general.....

Tax write offs!

In America, our State and Federal Tax system lets us write off a percentage of our phone, internet bill, electric bill, gas mileage for transportation, computer, cell phone and cell phone bill, restaurant meals, web domain cost, car registration, travel costs, advertising and even space in hour house. Activities spent on our affiliates as we refer them to SFI and items bought to build our business, e.g. PSAs. The only way to know what is able to be written off where you live is to speak with professional tax people. This can add up to a hefty refund annually.

All these investments along with my activity daily increases my leadership rank. Executive affiliate 2, Bronze, Silver and on up the line.

As you invest and increase your leadership rank, SFI gives you, yes I repeat, gives you T Credits and CSA's. I make great commissions from my CSA's.

Just one of these items will keep you active n the company so that you can earn commissions as an EA2.

https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart

It is easy to see with this excellent chart why buying into SFI is a good idea as you can afford to.

There is nothing like waking up to your commissions being $5-10 than they were the day before.

This happens easier and faster when you invest and work the program regularly as your leaders do.

When you are surpassing your investment amount and making more money then you invest, you will feel as wonderful as I do about investing!

This why you should invest in SFI!
