I can answer this question in just four words: "Automation, Duplication, Patience, Honesty". What I mean is that our task here is to build a team of active affiliates who will then build their teams of active affiliates, etc. That's duplication.
As soon as you understand that your main sources of income are commissions and VP Match (and not how much you buy or sell or how many VP you produce yourself), you will want to automate the task of recruiting new Affiliates instead of wasting time clicking links on traffic exchanges or safelists. Here's where automation comes into play. Simply look at all those ECAs who offer you automatic downline building. For a fee suitable to your wallet you can have anything between a dozen and a hundred PSAs each month.
Now, we come back to duplication, i.e. training your affiliates doing the same. Here's where many people fail because of lack of patience and honesty.
Since a vast majority of SFI Members expect quick if not rapid results, they are not patient enough to build their downlines, to communicate with their Affiliates, to build relationships in short and very often it is enough just to write to your new Affiliate "Hi, I'm here to help...". People lack the patience to create their own series of training letters, they lack patience to DEVELOP their SFI business step by step. So patience is a trait you need here.
Last but not least - honesty. You simply CAN'T expect (or even order) your Affiliates to do things, to buy items or - in general - to follow the path that you are not following yourself. I've been there many times as an affiliate - my upline would "suggest" that I buy this or that, pay a yearly membership fee or spend my money in any other way, but when I looked at their profiles it became clear that they did not perform the action themselves so why should I? On the other hand, if you write in your training letter that item X, book Y, membership Z might be a good starting point to increase the Affiliate's earnings and the Affiliates see that you did the same that you suggest, they MIGHT follow you adding to your commissions volume and building your VP stack.
Automation, Duplication, Patience and Honesty is all that is required to be successful here and that's what I learned here :)
