When we were a few years old, this wasn’t a problem but now we’re expanding worldwide - Can you saw awesome?

I have an SFI folder on my computer - and my IPad (that I won in a Triple Clicks auction BTW) a bookmark for Google Translate. I send my first few messages to a new non-English speaking affiliate in their own language. After that, I figure if the person wants my input for SFI - and my SFI friends in the forum - they’ll translate my message into their own language. By then

Hello Alvin,

Excellent Question!

What I do is to tell the prospective affiliate and new teammate everything SFI and Triple Clicks has to offer to ACTIVE team members. I always specify active because I can take the affiliate as far as they want to go.SFI can truly change your life (and outlook on life) If they will let it. If they joined SFI they obviously saw something they liked, but if they aren't going to be active and work to change their own status in life for the better,

Honestly, I don’t think it matters in the least. I mean, everyone is different regardless of what they do or who they are. I read the question about the best countries to advertise in too and again, I don’t think it really matters.

Everyone has a different motivation, values and especially differences in seeing the big picture of SFI. I think it does however, help if they have some kind a background in affiliate marketing.

The best indicator I use is if they take the time

Do I need to have a website or my own blog to be successful with SFI?

Yes.

As the 'net grows daily, it's critical to have your own blog to distinguish yourself from everyone else.

People will remember your own original posts or your SFI blog as opposed to a standard gateway site. Don't get me wrong - SFI provides very good splash pages for signups, but they tend to fall into everyone else's.

Check my answer by simply looking at the top referrers in your growth tab. Click on the name of any of "Yesterday's Top Enrollers"

I like to use a custom sfi blog or website I created for new signups rather than use the "stock" gateways. I've obtained more signups - and active - people in my downline using my custom url's.

Track new signups to see where they came to you by using SFI's key code system. It's a wonderful tool to use in all your advertising and recruiting.

Good Question and that’s easy - Become a Team Leader.

Start a standing order (SO) as soon as you can to secure your 1500 VP and get EA out of the way each month. Then, concentrate on the other 1500 action VP needed for BTL. Spend time advertising and get a good team under you. Remember, you only need 3-5 VIP affiliates to shoot you to PTL and an SFI business that stands on it’s own.

Which is most effective for advertising SFI...a regular hosted website or a blog about SFI?

A few years ago I would have said a website, today it’s a blog because they get better traffic numbers. There’s also a ton of plugins that you can use (both free and paid) to help you immensely in getting your word out.

You can use a free platform, like blogger, but I’d say get your own hosted blog then you own the thing and no one can take it away. Google owns Blogger, they’re the big cheese and can remove your blog if they don’t like something you do.

Hope this

Great question!

You have about 5 seconds to grab someone's attention with your headline or one-liner and if you're using paid ads this is really critical. Here are some of the best ones I use:

Do you need to have your own website (if so, why) or are the Gateway websites provided by SFI adequate?

I design my own sites and blog for my SFI business and always have.

I use my own words - copywriting for my sites. For the signup link on the site, it sends them to my sfi gateway page.I use a different key code for each.

My personal sites convert much better than the "stock" sfi pages.

Hope this helps!

Start out with what you can afford but remember, you have to invest in your business (any business) to succeed. When you start to generate an income invest more - but no more than 10%. You'll still make a good income and your business will continue to grow.
