I received an E-Card from my sponsor and it made me feel really good. So I started sending E-Cards to my downline. I send one when I have a new PSA or CSA. I send one when someone accomplishes their next level. There are a number of categories you can choose from. I think they are fun and they make people smile and feel good about themselves. Of course there are the E-Cards for when an affiliate hasn't logged in for awhile or they decide to opt-out of SFI. E-Cards are a very useful tool and you should

I am over 50 and my reasons for joining SFI were:

1) I can't survive on my social security alone, so to supplement my social security.
2) SFI was free to join which is great because I have little to no money.
3) SFI has been around since 1998 and has survived the economic roller coaster this country has had
to endure.
4) I can work when they want, not on someone else's schedule.
5) SFI if FUN and a way to bring in some extra income.

What convinced me to join was the fact that SFI was free to join and had extensive training materials. Another reason was because I did not have to invest any money until I could actually afford to and I was still making a few cents commission. SFI is the best affiliate marketing program on the internet. It is a business that you can work at your own pace, invest money if you can afford it. If you can't afford to invest money, you can still build a profitable business, it just may take a little while

I think SFI would be perfect for students over 18. They can earn extra money for college expenses, etc. But it would also have to depend on their class load. They are in school and paying for it, and they should still pursue their education. Because they are in school, the student body has

Some good places to post advertising flyers are local grocery stores that have a community bulletin. Laundromat facilities is another good place. Churches, synagogues,activity centers, libraries, recreation center, community centers. To promote the WAV3 music on TripleClicks.com, you can post flyers in music stores. You can post flyer just about anywhere. You should check with the property manager to make sure it is alright.

How can you be an SFI Team Leader if you're not a born leader?

No person is born a leader. There are skills and knowledge that must be learned. Once you acquire the skills and knowledge, you are then in a position to teach others. In SFI, becoming a Team Leader seems to be easy to get the first or second time. What is difficult is keeping that Team Leadership status (i.e. BTL, STL, GTL, PTL). Especially if you no active PSAs in your downline.

My suggestion is that you learn everything you can about SFI and TripleClicks. Put what you learn into action.

Can I set up my SFI business to run on autopilot? If so, how?

I would not recommend setting your SFI business to run on autopilot. I believe that SFI doesn't recommend it either. To put SFI on autopilot is like saying that you really do not care about anyone that signs up under you or any affiliates that SFI assigns to you as Co-Sponsor. I have to agree with another person's answer about the phone. It really irritates me when I make a phone call, have to press all these buttons, and 5 minutes later I am still not talking to a live person. We are not robots

How do I assure that duplication happens in those I sponsor?

You can't assure duplication in your downline. Many will not become active. But the ones that do become active, you need to explain to them what you are doing, assure them you are there to help them, and continue to communicate with them. I have found that if you keep in contact with your downline, be it PSA or CSA, they are more inclined to continue logging in on a daily basis and doing what needs to be done. They see you doing it so they do it. Lead by example and follow the Rules of Success.

What are the personal characteristics and skills you need to become successful with SFI?

I would say:

You have to be willing to read and learn.
You have to be willing to devote as much time as you possibly can to your SFI business.
You must be willing to help people achieve their goals (and they must be willing to accept your help.)
You should treat your business like a business.
You need to take your time and understand what you need to do.
You must be able to take action and apply what you have learned.
You must never give up.

I have been looking for a long time, to find an online business. When I joined SFI I did so because it sounded legitimate and I had heard of SFI back in 1998. I didn’t join back then because I had no idea what they were talking about. I was just learning about personal computers. When I saw that SFI was not only still around, but they had grown so much. I thought, “If I had joined back in 1998, I wonder where I would be right now. I did make something my first month. It wasn’t a lot, but it
