Hi Ritu,

This is an excellent question, and is one that I am sure we all have asked ourselves from time to time.

So, having the knowledge that I have acquired about SFI and running an online business in general, what would I do differently if I could start over again?

First,I would have maintained a daily activity regiment, ensuring that I always logged in and did my daily tasks. I also would have set up a standing order right from day one, even though I know that SFI never requires any of its affiliates to pay anything, ever. Having a standing order is the best and most sure way to ensure that you are able to at least maintain EA each and every month. By not having to worry about doing a wide variety of time-consuming tasks to earn your 1500 VP per month, your time is freed up to spend on advertising efforts, which brings me to the next thing I would have done differently.

I would have set up an advertising schedule to ensure that I was posting a minimum of 5 ads per day. Three of these would be targeted to building my SFI team, 1 for recruiting new TripleClicks members, and 1 for recruiting new ECAs.

I would have also established a study schedule to set aside a certain amount of time, either daily or weekly where I would choose a new SFI topic to learn about or review one that I had already studied. It is important for us to go back from time to time and review what we have learned from such areas as SFI Basics and the SFI LaunchPad series.

And finally, I would have set up my own site for SFI right away, knowing how much Google and other major search engines don't like affiliate sites.
