You're absolutely, incontrovertibly right: thousands of SFI affiliates *are* doing the same thing. It's the downside of people who take the idea of "duplication" too literally. Upline sponsors often teach their affiliates to do *exactly* the same things they did, including the same ad sites, the same traffic programs, and even click-to-surf sites they used. The result, as you say, is that it gets harder and harder for people who do this to stand out.

However, each of us is more than just an affiliate. We have our own likes, interests, hopes, and dreams, and we know plenty of NON-affiliates with whom we can share them... and comparatively few of those will have even heard of SFI or TripleClicks. We also have other activities that we do, and those, too, can provide ways to reach outside of the usual crowd of opportunity-seekers. Put simply, you can stand out from the crowd simply by accessing a different crowd.

Similarly, we all have unique skills that we bring to the table. For example, I write, design ads, and even design games. My SFI ads are in different colors, with different text. They stand out. As I can pull together new print-runs, the games I make will end up on TripleClicks.

One thing each of us can do with our skills, even if they don't relate directly to sales and marketing, is put up YouTube videos with links to your gateways (directly or indirectly) featuring you doing things you do anyway. For example, suppose you fish off a local pier. Take a moment to set up a simple video camera (they're really getting inexpensive these days!), and, while you fish, you can introduce yourself and talk about how SFI and TripleClicks allow you the free time to enjoy your fishing while the business runs itself. What you do--and how you do it--is up to you.
