SFI affiliates tend to complain about the fact that SFI gateways are blocked on Facebook. I view that negativity as a 'glass half empty' opinion. From the 'half-full' perspective we can notice that tripleclicks urls are just fine to post. We can freely post out favorite ECA products on facebook.

Number 1 - Your question here deals with ways to promote favorite ECA products and as hinted at in the opening paragraph, posting links to them on Facebook is my number one suggestion.

Number 2 - Posting in your blog. I have a number of blogs and lately, TripleClicks and my favorite ECA products comprise about 50% of all my postings. My blogs are also set with plugins to post automatically to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media sites, so a blog post serves double duty.

Number 3 - Posting to other social media. As shown above, listings could be automatic posts or manual. Another new and awesome way to make these posts is with the share links now prominent on the wave 3 program.

Number 4 - Share links from Wave 3. Copy and paste them anywhere as long as your not spamming. I think it might be cool to issue a KO Trivia challenge as a part of your forum or email signature block.

Number 5 - As long as you're not breaking the SFI rules on cross-promoting, perhaps you could promote your favorite ECA's products in a newsletter sent to your affiliates.

Number 6 - Other. In fact there are about 90 other ways to promote https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods and some that I haven't mentioned here are highly effective. Numbers 1-5 here are simply the ones I mostly use and that I've found most effective for me.

In conclusion, I have to say that the most succinct answer is to place more links. I hope I've helped.

Everyday I dream big on how my being an SFI affiliate can change my life.

A few years ago I suffered an accident while swimming. I drowned and was dead for long enough to cause brain damage. I can still function but the damage has caused a deepening depression. It has progressed to the point that I can no longer work and am on a small disability pension.

My being currently disabled does enable me to spend more time working on SFI and that is both a lifesaver and a sanity keeper for me right now.

Becoming financially independent is my SFI dream. I want to be able to afford to live where I choose and to do what I want to do. I have to live with my depression disorder disability: I just wish I could live moderately well with it.

Fortunately, I found SFI. I thank God for the opportunity that was presented to me. It is true what they say - Whenever a door slams shut, a window miraculously opens. SFI is that divinely opened window to my new dreams and I'm aiming HIGH.

I don't know how helpful this was but thank you for listening.

Participation in the leadership challenge is a win-win-win scenario.

Win 1 - Participation involves people in your team achieving higher levels of team leadership. How could that be anything but good.

Win 2 - There are prizes that are nice. Getting 100 TCredits per leadership level achieved is a really valuable prize. The physical prizes are also of a promotional nature that could inspire good conversations about SFI.

Win 3 - The whole contest is inspirational and who can't use a little extra motivation now and then.

In conclusion, I have to apologize that this submission is short but I hope it was helpful.

People access the internet in different ways and these can affect the methods of communication available/effective. I personally like to use SFIIM but some of my PSAs seem to have a problem with that. My second best way of real-time communicating is by Facebook messenger but the differing world time-zones can cause difficulties in that. A standby method of communication is with team mail and/or message cards.

The way of setting it up is something that generally evolves instead of something that I have planned. I suppose my communication evolving procedure could best be described as a flow chart.

Step 1 - I send out a welcome message on a card. Do they answer? Yes. No.
Yes - Proceed to step two
No - Proceed to step five

Step 2 - Send initiation of SFI Chat. Do they Join In? Yes. No
Yes - Success. Ideal communication is established.
No - Go to step 3

Step 3 - Send Facebook address and invite to IM. Facebook communication established Y. N.
Yes - Success. Communication established
No - Go to step 4

Step 4 - Send team mail or message card and invite the new affiliate to reply. Reply Yes No
Yes - success. Communication established
No - Keep sending team mail and hope for the best.

There is an expression I should quote here. "You can best sell, what you are sold on."

I suggest you should buy an assortment of Tripleclicks products.

-Certainly you might try some of the health and wellness products. I recommend the Advanced Liquid Nutrition both for the healthy nutrients and for the whopping 1500 SVP.

-Probably you will want to order and use some of 'the Natural' cleaning products that are also good for the environment.

-Definitely you should get some of the business products like the several selections of X-Cards.

-PSAs ToGo, S-Builder units and CSAs are also a very good thing to either buy or win at auction.

-To win those auctions and for many other uses, you might also want many of the mighty TCredits.

(**Tip** - Try buying T-Credits in an assortment of lot sizes to have more chances to get review points. - 25 AVP per review)


While trying some of these diverse products/services, you should also think about this - every different product you buy is an extra 25 AVP when you give your review on it.

With 90k products and services available from Tripleclicks and the assorted ECA, finding scads of things to buy should be a snap. :-)

Good question Zagorka. I want to be the only person that doesn't answer your question by saying or paraphrasing 'BOTH'.

If I had my choice, I would only recruit PRMs and ECAs but that is just because I'm basically lazy. TripleClicks takes over any responsibility for PRMs as soon as they sign up and after they are established, ECAs pretty much look after themselves.

PSAs on the other hand, require care, attention and development. One could compare the PSA to the difference between a CSA and the second-home CSA. Because I am lazy, I like to get second home CSA so I don't have to expend the effort required to develop the CSA.

Have I convinced you to click the 'yes' button yet?

Alright, then I'll confess that I'm not quite as much of a lazybones as I've said. I'm actually a hard worker but if I were lazy, recruiting PRM would be my optimal choice. However, the new WAVE 3 has actually added some nice topping to that cake. The PRM that you recruit today, could add another PRM for you tomorrow, and tomorrow after that too.

I hope that my answer has been helpful ... and actually unique.

Hristina;

I personally believe the most important thing about a welcome letter is that it should be succinct. I don't want to overburden them with information that is over and above the flood of data they are receiving.

I'm presenting here a list of things you could put into a welcome letter but I'm prefacing it here by saying you should pick and choose of what goes in and certainly is should not be all. Perhaps you might consider making a series of three welcoming letters so you can drip-feed out the tips.

1. Begin your welcome by pointing out where the Start, SFI Basics & Launchpad buttons are. These are really pivotal towards learning.

2. Point out the value of doing the Fast Track items on the To-Do

3. Explain about the To-Do list.

4. Talk about the critical importance of doing the daily/weekly tasks

5. Encourage the new affiliate to get in touch with you. And inform him or her about the best ways you can communicate.

6. School the PSA on the merits of duplication and how it is easier to sell the notion of SO and FT when you actually have those badges yourself.

7. Reiterate how the person has made the right choice in joining and express your commitment to their success.

Pick some from this list and/or add some of your own. Make your letter informative, entertaining and concise. This is your first step and first contact with someone that could turn out to be a long time business associate of yours so make a good impression.

I hope this helps.

Tanja;

Understand here that my opinion is that in the long run, the best way to build your business is to build up points and a residual income. My strategy for spending TCredits follows that aim.

People with TCredits will likely want to go straight for the auction tab. I suggest you hold back on that instinct--but I'll get to that a bit later. First allow me to lay out how you should marshal your credits to achieve the maximum beneficial effect.

1. Let's presume here that you've bought 125 TCredits on Standing Order here for your 1500VP.

2. Apportion out 30 TCredits to spend on Double Points (DP) auctions. You will spend 1 credit per day bidding once ONLY on any DP auction. This will net you 60 AVpoints over the month.

3. Set aside another 30 credits to play one game of Card King where you pay 1 credit. This means you have to play three games with the third one being where the doubles spin is live. This will also net you 60 AVpoints over the month. (I recommend Card King to pay for the game because the of the MRP and VP prizes available.)

4. For months with 31 days, you obviously have to set aside 62 TCredits instead of just 60 (or 56 in February)

5. Subtract 60 or 62 from your 125 and that tells you how many TCredits you're free to spend--but wait!

6. Do you want to participate in the new PSA welcome programs? If yes, you will need to reserve a few more TCredits for that. How many? That depends on which program and how generous you feel. I'll suggest you should have at least 50 credits on the ready.

7. So from your 125 package, you have only 10-15 TCredits to spend on an auction. Do you think you will win with only 10-15 bids? Not likely.

8. So carry that remainder over to the next month where you buy another 125. That plus the 10-15 gives you about 140 and the unspent TCredits from the new PSA welcome also carry forward.

9. By the second month you might have sufficient reserve to bid on an auction with a chance of winning. So what do you bid on? I will cover that later. The most important thing to remember here is that NOT winning an auction is a waste of T-Credits (Unless it is a single bid in a DP auction). If you can't win then don't play yet. Carry the Credits over again if unlikely to win.

10. Play T-Time regularly as every win is one day spared from your reserve.

11. If you DO plan to go for it, pick a DP auction and choose well.

https://www.tripleclicks.com/indexAuctions.php

1. Pick what you want to go for. I suggest either PSA or CSA with the nod going to the PSA unless the CSA auction is a DP.

2. Go back into the price history to decide on a price and the optimal time to play.

3. Play smart. (I won't go into what playing smart is in this Answer)

To conclude here I will say this. The point is to buy the TCredits every month and to spend the 60-62 every month - that represents the most valuable thing to spend T-Credits on. The point is also to have credits on hand for the New Member welcome programs and to not waste TCredits on lost auctions. If you need to carry forward for 4-5 months then so be it. It is better safe than sorry.

I send a copy of my team newsletter to my CSA and I also include CSA in most of my stream messages as well. Some messages are inappropriate and they are not included but conversely, sometimes my communication is sent exclusively for the CSAs.

Certainly I lend support and help to CSA, especially when they have a sponsor that doesn't help them. However, you should always remember that a CSA is NOT a PSA.

I'm not usually willing to put a CSA into my team co-op because signups under them will never accrue to me. I'm also not eager to lend any money directly to a CSA. I recently had a CSA suddenly activate and demand that I give him a gift certificate so he could make his EA2 and include him in my coop.

You should certainly impress upon them that in fact the VersaPoints are not disappearing. The points earned in a month are used to determine rankings and status for that month. In the next month the new points will begin to accrue on the scoreboard while the points from the previous month will move over to the accounting section where they will go into the payouts.

Think of it this way. The hours you worked this pay period are forwarded to your companies financial department and they go onto your pay check. Your time sheet resets to zero hours.
