I will not try to cover all the things to avoid. But I think a starting point that is a very big mistake
is to not be consistent and available for your downline. Don’t sign up numbers into your
downline and then abandon them. Be ready to help them everyday and communicate on a
regular basis. Like once a week team mail and 3x’s a week stream. Answer emails from them
within 24 - 48 hrs at the most. Create incentives for them too, to help generate interest and
excitement

I believe the classification choice would be first to use business opportunities. Use this to recruit the different
opportunities to earn online that we have with SFI

Business opportunity to earn by becoming a SFI affiliate. This is a good one to advertise for first, as they would
be introduced to all the methods available to earn online.

PPA is another way to earn from SFI

ECA's of course is a much coveted method to make a living online. So promoting

There are many ways to get AVP.

Purchase Gift Cards earn 10 VP for each one you give away and enter
onto the gift card tracker. 300 VP max a month.

Make regular purchases from tripleclicks then you will have a steady stream
of reviews to do for 25 VP. They have to be new purchases because you only
can review an item one time. (This is one of my favorite, personally.
It helps me learn many different things we have available. You really have

What are the things that most make you proud to be an SFI affiliate?

What makes me proud to be a part of SFI is integrity. The time and experience SFI has had success with, gives me a business and products I am not ashamed to share.

Also, knowing how do-able this opportunity is because it was laid out so easy for me to work; I know this is real and do-able for -anyone- who chooses to join us in SFI.

How do you learn to write effective ads if you have never written any ads before?

If you have not had experience writing ads, then you are in the right place
with SFI. Every thing we need to learn to do is provided for us in SFI.

1. Use the training drop down tab. Learn the topics found there, especially
spend time learning sponsoring and internet income options. But I am assuming
you have already completed your launchpad lessons and start tab. You must do
first before diving into advertising.

2. Use the Mktg drop down

I think the best incentive to offer prospects is support.

Tell them about all the support they will receive from you AND from all the other sources of support
that is available when they join SFI.

1. Support from you by your role as team leader. You will be there for guidance and advice for them
when the need it and because you will be sending weekly team mailings and streams. Your contact info
and availability and willingness to communicate.

To get downline members to participate in your team contests I suggest 3 things.

1. Be consistent:

Communicate with them at regular intervals with reminders
Communicate with them using email, stream, and your leadership page
Communicate updates with them periodically

2. Make it so they can achieve with success:

Should be fun
Should help them learn something
Should not be too hard (but you don't want to have many tie for first place

Thousands of SFI affiliates are doing the same thing. How do you stand out from the crowd?

i think the best way to stand out is:

1. Become a knowledgeable expert so you can be truly helpful when someone asks your advice or help.

2. Be customer oriented. Whether it is your team, a potential recruit, a customer for sales, or fellow affiliates they must be important to you!! Each one deserves the best customer service possible from you.

3. Make it more about helping someone rather than just a sale. It is so impersonal to treat someone just for what you

Safe-lists. What makes one better than another?

In my opinion what makes one safelist better over another, and in this case between
FREE safelists is whether or not your message/link/email is going to be seen.

Also, the amount of time your message has to be opened and viewed is another factor. If it is too long
then the viewer will not want to open as many emails as they would if the time for viewing is just right.
Anything over 30 seconds is too long for me. And that IS long enough for the message to catch me.

Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?

Yes and no.

There are NO shortcuts to actually showing up to "work" and doing the activities needed to
make a real business in SFI. I encourage daily, with most of those days to work longer, and
one or two where you can do the minimum weekly.


And YES, there are shortcuts like:

Allot an amount of money monthly for some of the following.

-maintain EA or higher with standing order for 1500-2000 sales points monthly.

-participate
