As many affiliates have already said, it varies.

I have however put in no more effort than communicating with my down line, which has proved mostly inactive and done my to-do list daily, weekly and monthly. I've also participated in the auctions and games and have a standing order for 1500VP.

I started earning three months in and now (after seven months) am earning enough to cover the cost of my standing order. I don't mind because I enjoy working on SFI everyday.

I have no doubt that if I was to actively pursue more PRM's, PSA's and ECA's, I would be earning quite a bit more.

All in all, it depends completely on you and the time and effort you are willing to invest in your business.

My most successful affiliates are from a country where English is not the norm and yes, we have in some cases had difficulty communicating.

I check on their VP ledger so I can see where they may be missing something and if I see a gap I try and bring it to their attention as soon as possible.

The minute I pick up that an affiliate is struggling to communicate his/her needs to me, I refer them to the translator available on SFI. I also try and keep the English simple and refrain from using big complicated words.

Remember, we may think our answer is simple, doesn't mean they are able to understand it. Many years ago I learned this lesson when I called someone cute, they went to the dictionary and came back to me indignant that I had basically told them they were cheeky!

Also keep in mind that professionalism is key, what may be appropriate in the USA, may not be in Asia or Africa.

I find the above has worked for me, I hope it helps you too.

My answer to your question is to give them very basic information at first.

Make it clear it would be in their best interests to log in daily and earn their points as they can compete in the E365 and the Daily Grand. Remind them that the launchpad lessons and SFI basics also earn them points and appear on their home page to be referred to at any time they need to.

Tell them who you are and that you're there to help. If and when you win something whether it's a draw, a game, an auction, share it with them and perhaps how you did it.

Keep all correspondence short and to the point.

Communication is key and SFI reminds us to send a mail out every week.

Hope I was able to help!

Hi Lucky

My strategy would be to play on a sport that I understand and enjoy, be enthusiastic and when you win, tell everyone - celebrate your win!

Excitement is contagious and people will naturally be curious or think you're totally crazy! Draw them in without going overboard, if you can, show them how it works, and if they're interested in any of the sports we have on Uber-Picks, they'll probably want to get involved too. Keep it light and about having fun!

From there, they'll look at the other games, products and auctions.

Use yourself as an example, l know one of my limitations is procrastination.

Since joining SFI, my goal was to log in every day as suggested, I've done so except on occasions when I was out of internet range (we still have problems where I am).

I've woken up in the early hours of the morning realising I've forgotten an action and no matter how tired I was, or how cold the night, I've gotten up and completed the task. Luckily we're a few hours ahead of the USA.

SFI has helped me a great deal just with that one limitation, I no longer put things off in my personal life, I deal with what I need to when it comes up and procrastination is no longer an issue with me.

I am eternally grateful to SFI for this ONE thing, every other benefit is a bonus!

I'm assuming your team is fairly small as you refer to the team having a negative attitude.

If this is the case, then I would suggest you take a look at their profiles and see whether the problem is because they speak a different language. They may not know about the translator that's available on SFI. Send them a mail explaining where they can find it. If you have an affiliate who is active from the same country / area, reassign them to that person.

If it seems that it is not a language issue and your team is small, try and send each individual a personal email, ask them what it is they would like to see from you as a sponsor or what they are having difficulty with. Give them enough attention so they know you care about their success, but do not offer to do their work for them.

You may, on the other hand, have a larger team and the negativity you are referring to is that you have largely inactive members on your team. In this case, all of the team leaders find ourselves in similar situations. You may only have one or two active affiliates out of hundreds, this is quite normal. There is not much you can do other than keep sending friendly, upbeat messages out. My advice here would be to include all your team members in your mails, but focus your energy mostly on those who are actively trying to better their positions.

Hopefully some of your inactive affiliates will look at SFI again in the future and come back. I did!

Hi David

If your affiliates are anything like I was, they probably signed up on various online sites trying to make some money.

The trouble is that many of the sites out there bombard you with emails and you find that where you may have registered on two or three sites, you suddenly have hundreds of mails coming in. Some of them won't even let you unsubscribe. When you try, you keep getting error messages until you can't be bothered.

I speak from personal experience and have, on several occasions, spent a few hours just unsubscribing from every list.

This may unfortunately be the case with your affiliates. Some of them may not have even bothered to look at your emails and may be deleting them as they come in.

Keep in mind, we all have problems with affiliates who signed up and then decided not to pursue it because they were looking for a "quick cash" solution.

If they are in your country / area call them up, or sms them. If they respond, ask them what it was they didn't like, ask them in a friendly and polite manner. People always like being asked questions and most don't mind if you don't take up a minute or so of their time.

Good Luck!
