"What are the most cost effective way to increase your chances of success with SFI?"

You can succeed with SFI with very little expense.

First you need to join Wave 3. That will cost you $1.95 but give you 5 free TCredits and 50 free MRP every month.

Next set up a standing order of a single TCredit every month. This will give you 102 VP and is the best value product for VP.
Earn your Fast Start bonus by doing just enough actions to make 500 VP and no more in the first 24 hours. Save the rest for the rest of the month.

In the first month only earn the 1500 VP to make EA. You will have already earned 700 in the first 24 hours. Work out how much you can earn by doing all the daily, weekly and monthly actions and then only do enough of the getting started intermediate and launchpad to make 1500 VP again. If you are careful with this you can make the once off actions last 3 - 4 months. (By all means read the training - just don't click the tick for it or answer the question in launchpad until you need the VP)

It goes without saying that you must log in every day and do all your daily, weekly and monthly actions. That costs you nothing and gains you 497 VP in a month.

Begin sharing SFI with your friends and family and hopefully gain at leat 1 new PSA per month who will do what you do. You're better off with 1 active PSA per month than hundreds who do nothing. The hundreds cost you a lot in advertising but gain nothing if they are inactive. If you gain just 1 active per month, your VP will increase by 100 per month as each PSA becomes EA2. As well as this you will earn 58 cents commission as each buys his single TCredit.

Try and gain 1 new ECA per month. Every month as your new ECA uploads his first product, you will gain another 100 VP, not to mention the commissions from his sales.

Try and promote sales of TripleClicks products. You can do this for free via safelists and ad exchanges. You can also set up a blog for free and promote products and SFI business on it.

Review 30 Ask SC questions every day. This will give you an extra entry into the Daily Grand and increase your chances of winning extra TCredits, VP or MRP.

Use your TCredits (you are given bonus TCredits every month when you retain EA2) in DP auctions. This will give you 1 VP per bid as well as earn you 10 MRP per bid. You can use your MRP to purchase more single TCredits, increasing your VP.

If you do these steps and gain at least 1 new PSA per month who will duplicate you, you will be doing very well in 12 months' time.

It's slow but cost effective and it works.

Excellent question...

Like any business, SFI does require some kind of an investment: Monetary or Time.

When you are first getting started your new SFI business, I will assume your goal as being to earn more money, either to supplement an existing income or to replace that existing income entirely. With that goal in mind, it is important to keep your costs down as much as possible. Which brings us to the main crux of your question.

In order to keep your costs as low as possible requires an often significant time investment into your new SFI business. Initially this time will be spent learning all that you can about SFI. When you consider only the SFI aspect of your business, meaning to not include TripleClicks at the moment, then the only way you have to build success in your business is to recruit and develop your team of affiliates, which means advertising.

There are literally 100's, if not 1000's of sites where you are able to advertise your SFI business for free. Do some Google searches using such terms as 'free advertising', 'free marketing', 'free advertising for affiliate marketers', etc. You can even narrow it down further by searching for specific types of free advertising venues, such as 'free classified ad sites', 'free classified directory listings', 'free ad boards', 'free text ads', etc.

SFI provides a great selection of marketing tools such as text ads, banner ads, eCards, and more. You will want to start by making a list of at least 25 to 35 sites that you will be posting your ads on and then make sure to post every day, or as often as these sites will allow. It does take time, but your efforts will pay off. Then, as your team starts to grow, teach your new affiliates to do the same.

Hope this helps.

There are two different types of "cost-effective" behavior: taking advantage of free services, and using paid methods to get the most bang for your buck.

SFI has a variety of free marketing tools, and you can use them on free-for-all ad sites, safe-lists can provide free traffic in trade for you visiting their ads, and you can set up free websites with free ads that point themselves to SFI and your ECA store. You'll find all manner of free classified ads with a quick web search, and you can plaster your ads all over the place. There are two problems with "free" ads, though: many of them are not very effective, and placing them can be time-intensive.

There are some great marketing tools available through SFI and TripleClicks, too, from their S-Builder Co-Op to PSAs To Go. Using these save tremendous amounts of time--and they do earn you VersaPoints--but since they are automated, and you're not spending your time connecting with people to bring them in, they're frequently lacking in motivation, even if you manage to connect with them in their own language on the first day.

The best techniques involve connecting with people personally and having fun while you do it. That way, any money you spend, you get to enjoy, you meet new people, you make new friends, and the connections you make can help you out. For this purpose, I'll invest in some of the SFI marketing cards or TC Gift Cards and use them while I'm at an event.

For example, as an artist myself, I really enjoy checking out what other people are doing, so I'll go to an art center's "Open House" and visit a whole slew of artists' studios at once. I get to introduce myself to the artists, tell them about what I do, give them my card, and suggest that they might want to check out Tripleclicks as a place to sell their work. Voila! New ECAs! As a writer, I'll trade my services writing articles and put ads up on their websites, so that not only am I promoting SFI, I can promote myself at the same time.

I also believe in checking out other social groups in person; when you meet people who have big social networks and too much time on their hands, it's just a question of showing them SFI and see how many people they can recruit in turn. Frequently, it gets you someone who will do the duplication with their friends FOR YOU. You get two levels of PSA for your work signing one guy up.

Basically, save time and money by investing in people, not "traffic." It's the difference between having a party where everyone makes money and treating people like numbers in a "numbers game." At the end of the day, which do you think is going to be more fun, more motivating, and more rewarding?

In order to have the most cost effective way to increase your chances of success with SFI, you must consider the following important factors that can greatly affect your success with SFI:

- Are you logging in everyday? A day missed will cost you 11 VP. This is a very important part of your venture, if you are to succeed. There’s a lot of information that you need to know, understanding and applying what you learn each day will help you to go forward one step at a time. Success begins with one step. You’re investing time to gain a solid foundation of your SFI know-how such as SFI BASICS, LAUNCHPAD, and The Rules of Success and so on. You’ll need your wide knowledge base in supporting your new affiliates.

- Maintain your EA2 level every month by accumulating 1500 VP. Ask yourself how much can you afford every month to maintain EA2? When choosing an eligible item for your SO, consider an item with reasonable price and a higher VP which will help you to fulfill at least the minimum required sales VP for moving up to BTL.

- Set your goal of sponsoring new affiliates every month. You need to start advertising to sponsor new affiliates. Start applying what you learned from SFI Tools and Resources. In your Training tab, you have very valuable training articles in sponsoring affiliates, combining with the Marketing methods; you’ll be setting up your own Ad Co-op to grow your team. Depending on your marketing budget and your consistency of support, determination and commitment, you’re setting up process of duplication.

Only you can find out and decide the most cost effective way to increase your chances of success with SFI. What most cost effective for me may not be applicable to you and your success depends also on your time investment.

2. Recruit many members and give them the support so that they can duplicate you and are also determined . Out of hundreds you ll get few but give in your best shot, if our PSA succeed , we succeed. Even the CSA play a big role, you get commissions from their sales. PSA and CSA can be attained in auctions.

Many affiliates have no or low income so this question is a good one. I will mention two ways- one for no budget and the other for low budget but any affiliate can use both.

For no budget do the following:
1. Log on everyday and do tabs- daily, weekly and monthly (you should do this irrespective of your budget, anyway);
2.Play T-Time everyday- I won 20 TCredits this way since joining SFI the 22nd. of March, 2014;
3. Refer persons to SFI by word of mouth and be a great sponsor by teaching them how to succeed
4. Aggressively pursue the ECA Program. Go to the My Accts tab at your SFI Homepage and click on My Gateways. Write down all of your Gateways (I write mine in an exercise book). There you will find your ECA Gateway which looks like this http://tripleclicks.com/your SFI ID#/ECA.
- Pound the pavement in your community or your favourite malls and introduce small and micro businesses to the ECA Program and send them directly to your ECA Gateway.
- Virtually every country has small business associations, contact them and tell them about the ECA Program. Make sure you read up about it the Program so that you can answer questions about it.
- For each ECA that you refer, you earn royalties on all their sales at TripleClicks for life
-For each ECA you refer, you immediately earn 100VP on their first sale of $10 or more. You also earn 10% of all sales that they generate at TripleClicks.
- Promote the URL containing your SFI ID# by using the URL to promote products you like and earn 45% CV Direct Commission.

With the ECA Program, you earn commissions on sales as well as VersaPoints.

For those on low budget:
1. In addition to the above
2. Join Wave 3- it costs 1.98 for shipping & handling. Each month you get 5 free TCredits and 50 MRPs and a chance to win $250 in the weekly drawing if you refer persons to join
3. Buy enough single TCredits that can help you reach 1500 VPs for the month. Each single TCredit earns you 102 VersaPoints which will help you to maintain EA status. With EA status you start to build a downline and teach them to do what you did.

To get more information on any idea that is mentioned just type in the words in the search bar above your photo at your homepage and read, read, read. SFI is deep.

Hope this was helpful.

What are the most cost effective ways to increase your chances of success with SFI?


Do you have friends, relatives, aquaintances, neighbours or workmates?
Sponsor five active ones through word-of-mouth. No cost!

Hold offline meetings. Invite them and show them what goes on at SFI. Talk to them and let them have a look first hand.

Teach them(through duplication) to do the important things at SFI. Help them to advance to at least an EA2.

Free Advertising to promote your gateways;
Use as many free advertising as you can: classifieds, traffic exchanges, emails or safelists. Use both online and offline.


Alternatively:
Set up a standing order for PSA's, either PSA-To-Go Or S-Builder. This will free your time and money that you will be spending on advertising. Advertising may not give you sign ups and can be costly. Focus on building your team of affiliates and helping them advance.

Remain involved in the many things that go on at SFI such as-the forum, Ask SC and A2A.
Get all the free action VP's. that you can(daily, weekly and monthly).

Utilize all the freebies: the contests the draws and the opportunities to win prizes.


Transfering purchasing to TripleClicks:
The things that you will normally buy on a regular basis at another store buy them at TripleClicks.

You need to have a team of well-minded people in order to build a gateway to success in SFI.
Your results will be in direct relation with the team you are surrounded with. Maybe you'll want to be in business for yourself, but you cannot do it by yourself,
you NEED a TEAM.

Not ordinary team but the one you can rely on.

Number one is the Power of duplication. This for me is the most cost effective way.
SFI offers several ways to build your team. Use it in proper manner and the success will be inevitable.
Use the tools of Co-op Builder and Leadership page (to interact with your team).

Second, Adopt the compensation plan that SFI offers to be practical for you and your team. Transform it and make it easy to understand, put in your ideas and post it at your web page.
The people will likely follow your example and a lot of them will be glad to be in your team. Lead them by example.

Third, Spread the word for Tripleclicks products. Advertise and expose the product line to the public together with you team.
For me it’s not just selling, but reaching a tipping point where the word from happy customers take over and surpass their own advertising.

Before discussing cost effectiveness, we must be clear on what are the success factors here at SFI. Let me share how we can be cost effective in each of these success factors.

1. Active affiliates - having an active affiliates is our number one success factor here at SFI, it is almost impossible to earn without them. We have several kinds of affiliates, PSA, CSA, PRM and ECA. The most cost effective way of finding these affiliates is by warm marketing. Personally inviting people to join SFI.

Internet marketing is also cost effective it you go to social media sites and other free ads sites. Paid ads and buying sign-ups are always expensive but it is cost effective if you put value on the time that you spend for warm marketing and posting free ads in so many free ads sites.

2. Personally earned VP - There are two types of VP that you should earn if you need to have rank. VP from action and VP from purchase. The most cost effective ways to earn action VP are those that are free, like the daily, weekly and monthly VPs. I also earn action VP by answering here in ASK SC. BUT the most cost effective action VP are from those PSA's who are turning EA2 and up.

The most cost effective VPs that are from purchases is when you purchase 1TC packs. It has the highest VP equivalent for every dollar you spend.

3. Duplication - This is basically free. What you need is work with those active affiliates, just encourage them to do what you are doing.

Well what a thought provoking question my thought on what will be the better ways to maximize our chances of success with SFI will be as follow:

Be regularly and consistently sponsoring your PSAS, PRMS and ECAs ,And do your

posting of ads and advertising be it on the paid and or free platforms not forgetting maxim insisting and using all the available resources available from SFI such as ECards , Xcards, wave3 brochures, flyers , TC gift cards , S Builder COOP to PSAs to GO etc .

And remember to continuously touch base and build up rapport and relationship with those with those who are hungry and ready and at the same time not forgetting nor neglecting the dormant giant Affiliates that may be awakened anytime.

Mentor , coach and guide your downline to follow suit to learn to duplicate and become team leaders so that we all can grow together

Open up your own ECA and encourage and help your downline as well as others to become ECAS and or list their unwanted stuff or white elephants for recurring residual income

Remember to commit to a standing order of 1500 VPs to enjoy and reap all the privileges and rewards and do your daily tasks and keep reading, reaching and fine tuning to explore new and more effective way to grow your business and treat it seriously

As the late Zig Ziglar once said "you don't build a business - you build people and then people build the business "

All the best and see you guys at the top real soon
