New affiliates should not rush through SFI quickly. It is better to take it slow to learn and apply the actions. They could easily get so overwhelmed quickly and might quit.

They also should not rush through to earn as many VPs as possible. It is better to be able to do the actions required to stay above the green line to make it to the E365 Finalist race and make it to EA the first month and than they could save the rest of the action VPs to do for the next month to help them become

As a new affiliate, they must not hold back the good news of letting people know that they are with SFI, The Fastest Global growing Internet Marketing Business Worldwide, and they must not fail to tell their friends and families to do just as they have done. Inother words duplicating.

They must not fail to visit getting started first, watch and listen to the program first inother to understand what the package is all about.

They should not be in a hurry to claim all the

What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month"
1) They should not ignore their sponsors. Many new Affiliates refuses to communicate with their sponsors. Their sponsors have more experience and may can offer ideas and/or advise.
2) They should not think they can succeed on their own. Many successful people would not be where they are had they not have had the help of people more experience than they are.
3) They should not consider asking questions or for help a sign of

Hello Natasa

My advice for new affiliates is NOT:

+ Give up before they even get started or understand how they will earn an income
+ Listen to family and friends who tell them that they are being scammed
+ Be frightened by what they see when they first arrive. It is a simple business
+ Ignore the advice from their sponsor or the emails they receive from SFI
+ Take any notice of members who try to recruit them for other business opportunities
+ Think

Very good question

We all make some mistakes in our first month, yes its human to make mistake but we learn from our mistakes. Some of these mistakes are things new affiliate should avoid in their first month and it's our duty as sponsors to alert our PSAs on these common mistakes since we have experience it before.

1. Don't try to get point quickly without understanding the contents of the page you are getting the point from, reasons for that point is an award for your time

Great question. I will offer two don'ts
1. Affiliates should not become overwhelmed with the mountain of information that is available at SFI. Read something new everyday but the most important thing is to make a list of things that you can do in month one. Better to start slowly and build a momentum from a solid foundation.

2. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can get to know the business in one month even if you have made EA rank. You have just started. SFI took almost

In their first month of SFI new affiliates should follow these guidelines.

1. Do not take it for granted that you have enough VersaPoints to make it to EA and therefor neglect the daily points. These Daily points can give you a maximum of 341 VersaPoints if you sign in on the first day of the month and there are 31 days in the month. If you earn these daily points then you can save some of your one time action points for the second and third months qualification as Executive Affiliate.

2.

New Affiliates should not expect to get rich in their first month in SFI and should not be easily discouraged, because SFI is not an overnight success. It is an On-line Marketing Business that one has to log in everyday for at least 3-4 hours daily. Follow the TO-DO List, study the Launch Pad Lessons and Other Training Tools provided. This includes reading Testimonials from other Affiliates and messages from the President, sharing of ideas with a2a friends, asking help from Upline Sponsors, extend

That’s an interesting question. I’m used to explaining what new affiliates should do.

Common mistakes made by new affiliates:

1. Not taking this business seriously or giving up too soon. Patience is required.

2. Not taking advantage of the 200 VP bonus for getting 500 VP in the first 24 hours.

3. Not logging in every day to learn, to collect versa points, and to enter contests.

4. Not taking advantage of all the training, tools and knowledge
