This is a challenging question as we are often so focused on the positives, on what they should be doing when they first join.

I believe that what they should not be doing in their first month is race through the training, the 'to-do-lists' and collect all their VPs simply to achieve EA level. They mistakenly think by quickly becoming an EA they will make big money.

I try to encourage them to understand that this is not a get rich quick scheme and to focus on the fact that the fist month is really the month of training and setting up their business and themselves for the future. They are not to skim over the training but to do it well and make sure they thoroughly understand the SFI Basics.

Some of them also try and learn every thing as quickly as possible and risk being overwhelmed by all the new information. Some can cope with that but as a matter of cause I warn all my new affiliates of the possibility of this happening. They are not to try and absorb all the new information as once - its a learning, growing process.

Other than these, I tell them that if they are able to, and depending on their ability to cope, to start looking at promoting TripleClicks and SFI. There is no need to be concerned or fearful about what prospects or new affiliates may ask of them. As their sponsor, I will help them.

- What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month?

This is based on my experience and how I felt when I joined SFI.

New affiliates should not skip the Start, SFI Basics and Launchpad as this is where a solid foundation starts. Taking your time will give you a better understanding of how SFI and TripleClicks really works.

You should not miss signing in everyday and completing your daily tasks on your home page. This is free and easy Vp that we all need.

In my opinion new affiliates should not rush and should not collect more than the 1500 Versa Points needed in their first month to reach Executive Affiliate. They should save the remaining Versa Points for their second month to help them reach EA2 level more easily. This is more sustainable for some.

Finally, new affiliates should not give up in their first month, they should commit for a period of 12 months and then re-evaluate. It takes time to grow any business.

If new affiliates find SFI overwhelming they should not be afraid to ask for help ……..

Hi Natasa,

This is an interesting question because it really depends on what sort of affiliates we are talking about. There are affiliates who know nothing about online marketing and there are others who have accumulated a lot of experience over the years.

In the case of affiliates who are totally unfamiliar with online marketing, there are several things they should NOT do in their first month at SFI:

SKIP THE SFI BASICS, START VIDEO AND LAUNCHPAD LESSONS
New affiliates need to familiarize themselves with the what, where, when, how and why of SFI. This means they need to know what to do first, where to find each source of information, when to start applying what they learn, how to proceed once they've mastered each step, and why it's important to learn everything they can, in order to get the most out of SFI.

SKIP ALL OR PART OF THE DAILY, WEEKLY AND MONTHLY ACTIONS ON THEIR TO-DO-LIST
These actions are an essential part of the learning process for new affiliates. As they repeat these actions every day, a picture will start to emerge about the inner workings of SFI. By the end of their first month, this daily repetition should provide enough information for new affiliates to understand what they can do at SFI and how they can set realistic goals.

ACCUMULATE VP WITHOUT READING THE MATERIAL THOROUGHLY
Affiliates who have very little experience in this field should not be in a hurry to accumulate VP because it's impossible to assimilate this much information in such a short time. Rushing to accumulate VP will only provoke an information overload which could frustrate them to the point of quitting.

BECOME EA WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THIS IMPLIES
Reaching EA rank without having mastered the basics will leave them puzzled as to what comes next. They won't know how to handle the CSAs they'll receive upon becoming EA and when they are awarded their first TCredits, they may not even realize how valuable they are or what to do with them.

BECOME A TL BEFORE RECRUITING AFFILIATES
Reaching TL status in their first month without having recruited a team will only bring disappointment if they can't maintain that rank the following month. They may feel that they are taking a step backwards instead of forward if they fail to do so, unless they are ambitious enough to find other ways to become Team Leader.

USE UP ALL THE AVAILABLE ONE-TIME VP IN THEIR FIRST MONTH AT SFI
If they have used up all the available one-time Action VP on their To-Do list, they may lose their enthusiasm for SFI once the new month comes around and they realize they'll have to accumulate a minimum of 1,500 VP all over again in order to maintain their rank. This may discourage some affiliates to a point where they stop working altogether.

WHAT ABOUT AFFILIATES WITH MORE EXPERIENCE?
If new affiliates are very knowledgeable about online marketing and are more than willing to invest time and money into their business, then the only things they should NOT do in their first month at SFI is skip any of the actions on their To-Do list, nor accumulate VP without reading the contents of each link or section.

This is important because, even though they may be familiar with online marketing in general, they won't be aware of the intricacies of SFI's specific system and methods, nor the many benefits it offers, until they dedicate some time to learning about them through the aforementioned activities.

Finally and maybe the most important thing that affiliates should NEVER do in their first month here, notwithstanding their level of expertise, is: they should NOT quit before learning about the wonderful opportunities SFI has to offer!

I hope this is useful.

What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month?

You should not think that you will get rich in one day or very quickly. SFI is a great program for long term in the future to earn a recurring income. What you should do is to start by educating yourself first and learn the basics of SFI the four things you need to do to succeed in SFI. See SFI BASICS box at the top of your homepage. Also Check the START box and LAUNCHPAD. Just click on it.

You should not ignore your sponsor’s welcome letter because therein lies your success. You should respond and ask questions if you want to succeed in SFI.

You should not overlook the SFI training methods but you should read and study how to do and understand the rules of success to prosper in SFI.

You should not just go over the pages on your To-Do List, but you should login everyday and read it so that it becomes the routine of your daily life.

There are many more “SHOULD NOT do’s but this is enough to chew on first because by doing the above, you will learn more and more.

See you at the top!!!!

Hello,

A New Affiliate in SFI means like a New Born Baby who is just born. SFI is treating a new affiliate in the system as a new baby with all goodness and offers so many freebies like Versa Points, enhanced study materials and more for a person to grow in the system and become independent in the near future to be successful.

Many new affiliates were asking about quick income, instant success and fame before keeping their feet firm and strongly in the system. I would suggest them that apart from collecting those invaluable versa points, they should read the entire study materials and knowledge base and understand it by taking their own time and remove their doubts and apprehensions before thinking of fame and fortune.

SFI is not a place where a person can make money in an overnight but only through determination and dedication, one can earn such an income even beyond their own wild imaginations. Hence, it is very important for a person to go through the entire data base systematically and thoroughly to enjoy the long term benefits from the system.

I always prevent my new affiliates from being over enthusiastic about the Income they generate but concentrate on their steady growth with proper actions.

I repeatedly mentioning and in short that a New Affiliate should not think of about the Income what they generate at their beginning in the system but should apply their mind on what they have learned in the system to become more successful and it can only help them and become beneficial in their long journey in SFI.

I do believe, success is steady progress toward one's personal goals.

Wish you a steady growth in the system.

I find that you have written a very interesting question. Here is what I write as an answer.

The first and most important thing an affiliate should not do is give up. In any business you must have patience and learn all you can learn about the business and how everything works. You cannot learn everything in one day.

The second thing an affiliate should not do is expect instant payment and instant riches. Have you heard of any business where people got paid and became rich immediately? I haven't. I don't think you have either. It takes work, hard work. Even when you work in a field to harvest grain or fruit, you have to pick what you harvest in the hot sun and work your muscles and keep moving. You get paid according to the work you put in during each day's work. You get what you put into the work.

The third thing an affiliate should not do is rush through the site and all the links to gain VP without really reading and understanding what is written in every area on the site and saving or printing the information so that it can be referred to later offline. There is no room for laziness here. It is important to read, read and read some more. You never stop reading or learning. That is why there are all the tools here, in places where affiliates can use them wisely. That is also why there is a translator available on the SFI Website.

The final thing that affiliates should not do is neglect studying the rules and policies of SFI, and, for that matter, any business venture. Rules are made to be followed. This prevents others from getting hurt. It also ensures there is fairness. If you don't familiarize yourself with the rules and policies, you could find yourself out of the business, without any hope of returning. You could also find yourself in a worse situation with the laws of your country or, for that matter, God's laws. Again, these are to be followed for your good and the good of everyone else.

May this answer be of help to you in your work with your affiliates.

Have a productive and successful day!

There are many things new affiliates NOT DO in their first month;

1. They must not skip the audio discussion of our President and Founder Sir. Gery Carson

2. They must not in a hurry completing the 30 days launchpad lesson. They must understand its contents. The advice is 1-2 launchpad lessons a day

3. They must not earning points of the actions at the to-do-list without reading or understanding what are being discussed in each topic.

4. They must not in a hurry inviting their warm list because if their prospect will ask question, they can't explain it well or can't refer the right page for the particular topics of the question asked. They will practice to their casual acquaintance.

5. They must not Expect big income in their first month in the business because Earning such is extraordinary with luck ( frustration will be in them if it will not hit) First 6 months is training and learning period, next one year is digging foundation period and the next one year is the building period.

There are many things NOT TO DO but for me the first five is the best. Hope this helps.

Asking anyone NOT to do anything in first month of joining is like expecting a scientist not to do experiments for a limited time period .

However there can be one DONT

1.Do not Try to be a Team leader in first month by Investing more. The first month gives you enough time to learn about SFI business and to know what are the requirements to become a team leader and what are the responsibilities coming with it.

If it was matter of only MONEY then all cash rich people in SFI would be the team leaders. However Team leader needs different things than just cash.

2. Do not expect you will get immediate cash in first month. ( Unless you are expert in internet marketing and are able to sell Tc products and earn commission).

Dear Natasa,

SFI provides an equal opportunity to all so it is important to use this wisely. There are things in my opinion you should NOT do in the first month and amongst them it includes the following:

1. SFI provides very easy to do actions that allows you to earn FREE VP and as such you should NOT miss the chance to earn FREE 200 VP if you earn 500 VP within the first 24 hours after you register.

2. Should NOT stay below the green line because you will lose the chance to enter the E365 contest, which provides you with free prizes. As you move towards Round 6 you will earn FREE MRP and VP along the way for staying above the green line.

3. Should not become a Team leader without having a Team.

4. Should rush through the FREE training material provided as these helps you understand the SFI business model.

5. Should not be impatient in the pursuit of making a quick buck.

6. Should not procrastinate but do things that can be done immediately.

7. Should not set unrealistic goals and become de-motivated in the process.

8. Should not underestimate the need for READING and READING as it will help chart your course in SFI.

9. Should not overspend until you get the hang of the business as SFI provides you with the opportunity to move forward slowly but surely.

10. Should not try and earn all the FREE VP in the 1st month but spread it accordingly so that you have enough left for the second month.

11. Should not miss out on doing the daily/weekly/monthly actions as these too earn you VP. Most starters ignore this.

12. Should not be afraid to contact your sponsor/co-sponsor/up-line/a2a/forum/ASK SC to ask questions that help you understand the SFI program.

13. Lastly but not least SHOULD NOT quit.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
