They'd do nothing. I know it well enough because I was one of those affiliates who did nothing for 8 long years. While it's another thing that my immediately sponsor doesn't do anything either, others in my upline constantly support me by sending in regular emails. I am now learning to do the same thing to my downline.

So, the answer: you'd do nothing. You'd move on. You'll continue to encourage. You'll do your best.

Don't give up hope. Work hard to sponsor ( even go offline and share the link, if you have to). As you remain an executive affiliate, you'll continue to get your2 CSAs per month. Do a standing order on S-Builder and you'd get a few more affiliates. Win a few price bender auctions for CSAs and PSAs and you have some more affiliates under you. As you continue to do this, your downline will grow. What you can't achieve through "affiliates who do nothing" can now be achieved through "sheer numbers".

I can feel this.

I know where you are coming from. I gave up more times than I can count. If you see my profile, you'll know that I have been here since 2004. Yet, I don't have much to show for it. I started late. I realised the potential of SFI much later.

I cannot tell you about what I did when I wasn't here and I wasn't doing anything. Today, however, it's a different story. Here's what I do everyday to make sure I meet my goals ( short term and long term). I hope it might be beneficial for you too:

1. Read, Read, and Read some more ( and this doesn't include anything inside SFI). I read at least 2 books a week. That's more than 100 books a year.
2. I have a mainstream business where I do digital marketing and content development ( this helps me pay the bills). This business also teaches me a lot about digital marketing so I use it to my advantage.
3. I maintain an EA status. I don't want to remain just an affiliate. The only way you can make money by being an affiliate is to "sell" more. I already do that a lot. I need leverage. So, the least I can do is to maintain EA status. Next up is BTL.
4. I spend one hour everyday trying to either talk to someone about the opportunity or spend time posting classified ads. My Upline helps a lot too.
5. I bid on Pricebender auctions for 100 PSA, 500 CSA, and T-Credit Packs -- when you win these, you can fast track your growth in SFI. Imagine the number of people in your team then.
6. I have a blog exclusively for SFI. I publish 3 posts each week for this blog. As usual, I'd have to promote the blog for traffic too.

Hope this helps.

For most network marketing opportunities, that would be a huge problem but not for SFI.

You see, SFI is completely digital. There's a system in here that everyone can lean on to and just by following what SFI lays out for us, we can succeed.

Send links > People Sign up> you guide them along and help them > they'll upgrade eventually (if not, no problem).

Offline method: Approach friends, family, colleagues, and everyone else you might know or meet to signup for SFI ( Since it's free, there are no hard feelings here. There are no pressure-selling tactics). After they Join, arrange to meet them regularly and discuss how to go forward.

Online Method: Here's where we have digital marketing kicking in. Depending on your budget, you can find ways to prospect and have people signup without ever meeting anyone. There are free methods of advertising (even classified ads will do) and paid methods.

You can have your blog, do guest blogs, use social media, and a host of other ways to prospect new affiliates and get them to signup. Once they sign up, all you have to do is to send out weekly emails ( PSA Mailer, etc) and share more information, tips, and instructions on how to get their business started and running ( don't expect responses, but doing this regularly makes it all happen).

You know, I could give you the usual answer: you could set up a blog or website around your business, you could deploy all of your best practices on digital marketing, tap into the power of email marketing, do guest posting, and even work with classified ads.

You could also do what most people don't do: work on your SFI business the way it's done with other network marketing opportunities. Identify prospects, reach out to them, get them to meet you somewhere, introduce the opportunity ( don't overwhelm them with too much information, though), and have them sign up for free ( no barriers here).

The real challenge isn't in "signing up", though. Your challenge is making sure your new PSA understands the business, starts off right (Launchpad, initial bonuses, and E365 contests), and you are around to support your new PSAs while they lean on the awesome SFI system to help them start and grow their business.

Hiding behind our computers is easy; doing it as a team together is rather hard. But if others are able to do it, SFI makes for an even better opportunity.

Remember: you'll have to work hard and set an example. You'd have to be an EA first and then have others follow your lead. Don't pressure-sell; don't hustle (this really puts people off. I know because it does to me).
