Most affiliates struggle with lack of money with which to grow their SFI business. When they join they are eager and can accumulate versa points fast and even become Executive Affiliates (EA). But after the first month it becomes difficult to accumulate enough versa points to qualify for EA status again without investing time and money. Some then become inactive. It is difficult to help these if you are not financially stable yourself but if you are you can send them gift certificates so that they

Information overload is part of the reasons why some affiliates decide to opt out of SFI or to block their sponsors. As a new affiliate you receive numerous emails from SFI, if your sponsor and co-sponsor are also sending you various communications you can easily get tired. So as a sponsor it is crucial that you are careful not to send too many messages to your downline.

SFI has a guide on how to communicate with your downline including the following:

1. Weekly team mail - send

If you have only one hour to spend on SFI; this is how you should spend it from my point of view:

1. Check out all the red tabs on your home screen, make sure you read not just mere clicking.
2. Review latest items on Triple Clicks - this is located on your to do list tab.
3. Go to Pricebenders auctions if you have T Credits and bid. You earn 1VP per bid and the bids build up to PSAs. You also earn 5 or 10 MRP per bid which you can use to buy items on Triple Clicks.
4. Play

By all means you should promote the sale of Triple Clicks products to your team.

The best way is through recommending products you have personally bought and like. There are numerous benefits from buying Triple Clicks products including the following:
1. You get to use the product
2. You earn versa points for buying the product
3. You earn additional versa points for reviewing the product
4. You earn commissions

You promote the products through the product

I have used the 125 TCredit.

I really like this product as it comes with 1500VP which qualifies you for Executive Affiliate status. It is also available as a standing order item just for $36.25 a month.

You can use the TCredits to bid on auctions at Pricebenders. Each bid earns you 1 VP and a minimum of 5 MRP.

10 bids build to 10% of a PSA and with 100 bids you get 1 PSA as well as 100VP in addition to the 1500VP you already have. Moreover you earn MRP which you

Affiliates residing outside the United States can promote the Privacy Maxx Plan to customers residing in the United States only presently.

According to SFI "ANY SFI Affiliate can offer the PrivacyMaxx plan to customers residing in the U.S. and collect commissions for sales".

So affiliates residing outside the US can promote the Privacy Maxx plan the same way they promote other products from SFI/Triple Clicks but this time they should target US residents only.

Which will better help me attract affiliates...promoting TripleClicks, or promoting SFI?

Promoting SFI will better help you attract affiliates as promoting Triple Clicks only gets you PRM. You do not have a direct relationship with your PRM. In fact you are not allowed to contact your PRM, SFI does it for you. TripleClicks members don't need a sponsor like SFI affiliates do. You do get commissions though when your PRM buys from Triple Clicks.

So if you are interested in attracting affiliates promoting SFI is the way to go.

SFI is an online network marketing company. The minimum requirement in this type of business is access to internet.

So working with an affiliate with limited internet access is difficult but not impossible. You can guide such an affiliate on how to use the limited internet access effectively, that is how to achieve best results with SFI within the limited time. For example the affiliate can download lessons while online and read later when offline. The affiliate can also go through the

A good sponsor generally looks at his/her movers. These are the affiliates who are doing something to earn versa points and thereby grow their business. The sponsor will then decide what type of assistance a mover needs. This can be in a form of tips, e-cards, team mail, gift certificate, reassigned PSAs, co-ops etc. The important thing to do as an affiliate is to keep doing your part and ask your sponsor/co-sponsor questions or guidance where necessary, you will surely gain maximum support.

What exactly do you do other than the daily To Do List to really succeed in SFI?

The daily to do list items help you earn action versa points (VP). These are essential to attain team leader position. If you consistently do these you are guaranteed of about 360 VP per month which is not enough to qualify for EA status. So you need to beef this up with other actions which earns you VP. These include the following:

1. Eager Zebra Games - if you play Card King for instance you stand a chance to win various prizes including versa points especially if you play with TCredits.
