The new feature for adding images in Stream and Leadership Page is useful for supporting your team in so many ways.

As we know, a picture paints a thousand words, which is especially handy in the Stream where we are limited to typing only 340 characters.

A screenshot image can help you demonstrate things your team needs to know much more effectively than trying to describe things in a limited number of words or characters.

An image is much more eye-catching and attention-grabbing,

Hi Maria

My first thought when reading your question was that I might change the wording slightly to say "When and how should I start preparing for my retirement WITH SFI?" and the answer to that question would be NOW!

To say "retirement from SFI" implies an intention to leave, to stop what you are doing, but from what I see of SFI, leaving is not necessary, especially if it is providing a steady retirement income. I know we have many affiliates here who

Any website is only effective if people are finding it and reading it. Therefore, the main aim is to attract traffic to your site, and organic traffic i.e. people who have specifically searched for what you offer, is the best kind of traffic. To keep that traffic coming, or returning, you need to provide the reason for them to do so. Here are some elements you need to pay attention to:

I would say that both are equally important.

PRMs are important for possibly more immediate commissions, 45% of the CV, that will enable you to earn income to develop your business. Also, you directly earn the VPs attached to the purchases of your PRMs, which help greatly towards your rank. You will earn commissions and VPs from anything they buy from TripleClicks, for life!

Also, by referring at least 1 new PRM every 120 days, you will qualify for the new Wave 3 membership,

Hi Biljana,

There are many answers given that list the features of SFI, and of course people may be interested in some of those. They may feel more secure knowing that SFI has been in business for 17 years because that gives them a sense of security, and that is what people want, to know what it can do for THEM.

And that is what you could focus on - what are the benefits to THEM of joining SFI?
To do this, you do need to think more about your target market, and who you

Personally, I rarely distinguish between my PSAs and CSAs. That means I communicate with CSAs almost exactly the same way as I do with PSAs.

Therefore I:

- send them my Welcome message, the same one I send to my PSAs, letting them know I am their co-sponsor and therefore an additional source of help and advice for them. I list the Getting Started actions they need to do, and direct them to Start, SFI Basics and Launchpad.
The only difference here is, while I send PSAs individual

Hi Bamidele

You have had lots of great answers on this question, about
- how the monthly TC Executive Pool is shared based on VPs collected individually in the last month
- how your monthly activity determines your rank
etc.

However, I would just like to add an aspect I have not seen mentioned yet.

Because VPs are reset each month, everyone has an equal opportunity to earn from the TC Executive Pool, whether they have been with SFI for many years or

Great question Thomas!

Video marketing is HUGE now! Thanks to Youtube, you only need to publish a video to one place, then use your video link everywhere else -
- embed on your website
- embed on your lead capture/squeeze page
- post on any social media
- in email campaigns

Youtube videos are highly ranked by Google (it is owned by Google, so of course they promote it well), as long as you get your SEO right - you can optimise your youtube videos with keywords

Hi Zina

You can see exactly how your Movers are performing by looking at their VP Ledger.
To do this, click on their name in your Movers list.
On their Affiliate Snapshot, beside their picture, you will see a link to their VP Ledger.

The VP Ledger will show how many VP they currently have, and how many they need to progress to the next level. If they have not yet reached EA, it will show how many total VP they need.
If they have already achieved EA or higher,
