SFI is a tremendous resource in helping you learn all about marketing and especially marketing on the Internet. There is a ton of information that will help you begin to develop your own online business.

So, one of the things that will help you along your way is to continuously read and learn everything you can. If you have questions, look to SFI for answers. There are hundreds of pages of information available, as well as the SFI Forum and ASK SC.

There are many ways to accumulate VersaPoints (VP).

Be sure to login every day and complete your daily, weekly, and monthly actions on your To-Do List. You can also receive VP by participating in the Auctions (500/mo. maximum points), Eager Zebra Games (max. 200 VP/month), on each TC Music download (Maximum 50 VP/month), and for each Member Listing (Maximum 50 VP/month).

Of course you also get VP from making sales and/or purchases.

You get 100 VP For each approved/activated

If you are going to be successful, you must find a way to succeed. While my sponsor did answer my simple 1 or 2 questions when I started, it was enough for me to realize that this program was for real.

Instead of burdening my Sponsor with my endless questions, I realized most if not all the answers were here on the SFI site and most importantly in the SFI Forum. Not to mention I could ask questions in the forum and receive a multitude of answers very quickly and not just 1 answer from

I would certainly say YES! Especially if you reside in a country other than the United States. Many people may not have a credit/debit card or access to PayPal, leaving them with no way to purchase products and services from SFI/TC.

By getting a TCurrency License, you will open yourself up to more potential sales in your own country. It might be a good idea to connect with members in your own country through a2a. And as other members begin to look for payment solutions, they will come

"The Fortune is in the Follow-up"

Remember that idea. Continuous communication with your affiliates is essential. Continue trying different approaches. Send them individual/personal emails. Get to know them a little. Encourage them to learn about SFI and Internet Marketing.

Once they can grasp many of the ideas, they will begin to see how TripleClicks participation can help their business grow. Use the power of suggestion. Don't try to twist their arm. Be positive

Why is creating duplication in your SFI business important?

The simple answer is that you yourself only have 24 hours in a day. By duplicating your efforts amongst your Team you will increase the number of hours in a day that your business is "working".

Think about any CEO of a company who started the company themselves. You can bet they worked very hard to get their business going, but after some time, they began to hire people to do many of the basic company tasks for them. The worker is working for their own salary while generating

There were times when I can say that I became discouraged with SFI and internet marketing in general. The biggest problem was that I was focused on the negative side of things.

I recruited affiliates who never did anything, I didn't make any sales, and these things were bringing discouragement to me. I took a step back from my business and re-evaluated things.

Realizing that I was focusing on the negative side of things, I began to change my mindset. I began to focus on the

You can purchase New Personally Sponsored Affiliates through some of the ECA vendors in TripleClicks. You can also win them in the auctions and also the SFI S-Builder Co-op. This is the best way to jump start your Team. You can also win CSAs (co-sponsored affiliates) in the auctions.

Your main concerns to start are to learn everything you can about SFI and Internet Marketing. READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON SFI. And then go back and read it again.

Begin learning how you can advertise

"The Fortune is in the Follow-up"

Remember that statement. Effective follow-up is key in any kind of business. It can take many follow-ups to have someone gain interest and curiosity. You need to work hard on your follow-up strategy. Sending out 1 or 2 emails may get some response from time to time, but you need to continue your follow-up to elicit more response.

Think about what gets you to act, then try to write a follow-up that would motivate you into action. Think
