SFI business model is definitely not for everybody, so many come with different expectations and disappear when those expectations are not met. An example is someone looking for a get-rich-quick business may be disappointed if he does not earn as fast as he hopes.

Some of them joined because of what they read in various advertisement contents and were hopeful that what the ads say is what it is, but unfortunately they were met with different circumstance. Take for instance someone who heard that you do not need to invest, only to come and see the word standing order hovering relentlessly over his head. In some cases before this affiliate understands that it is not mandatory its too late or may be unable to understand how to navigate his way forward without investing in a standing order.

Again, some do not just understand the system and do not have the opportunity to be assisted and guided by a dedicated and active sponsor, so when they wonder around without a clear path, they rest their head.

There seems to be over emphasis on making 1500 VP to become EA, so some affiliates will be expecting a reasonable pay check immediately they reach this status and be disillusioned with the amount they see in their commission report. At this stage they will ultimately conclude its not worth the effort and time, without having the opportunity to know that EA status is just the first basic first to building your SFI business.

Some people join SFI just out of curiosity or for exploratory purposes without real prior desire to work an online business. They are jobless and looking for a job, but when they join the kind of job they are used to or want is quite different from what is obtained here; for example a regular monthly paid check from an employer to an employee compared to a commission business where you are not regarded as an employee.

There are yet others who may have the potential but were unable to simplify the business model in order to create a clear path and destination, thereby making it very complex and complicated for their understanding and appreciation, so out of frustration they conclude that it will be difficult to understand whats up and to ultimately succeed here.

There is also a transfer of impression where those who have had bad experiences with similar online businesses join SFI, but when they wrongly perceive any similarity to what they had experienced they draw similar conclusions and are only inactive because they do not even know how to opt out.

Payment problems also discourages many who are impatient to discover that there are other methods to pay for purchases at TC. This set of affiliates love to buy products but are either afraid to use their credits card because of bad experiences or do not have any, then they are of the opinion that nothing else will matter without a credit card and they just stop working.

Having said this, there are also others who join for the purpose of perpetrating fraudulent practices and when they fail or see how difficult and unattractive it is here they become useless even to themselves. Some may just be here for cross solicitation, so when you think they are inactive, they are very active cross soliciting and perpetrating other illicit activities.

Finally, there are really interested people who joined with enthusiasm to do their best but unfortunately, some circumstances within or beyond their control have made them to temporarily become inactive and in most cases once that reason is out of the way they become active, so watch out for these affiliates.

This is a very good question and I believe every team leader have had to face this reality constantly in their bids to make a success of their SFI business. The following could be the reasons why many fall out:

(1). Many newly sponsored affiliates are not familiar with the SFI websites and because of the fact that the website is fully loaded with information they don't know where to start from. This is the reason you have to start following them up as soon as they register. You need to show them the terrain.
(2). Some people are accessing the SFI websites from their mobile devices, especially phones, and some of these phones are not strong and fast enough to bring out all the functionality of the SFI business so these affiliates get discouraged and drop out because they are not able to earn versa points quickly from their mobile devices.
(3). Some people join SFI thinking it is one of these get rich quick syndrome and when they find out that they need to work hard to grow their business in other to succeed, and since they are looking for a get rich with no work scam they drop out.
(4). SFI is for serious hardworking determined people. Many newly sponsored affiliates are out-rightly lazy, so when they understand the challenges and work involved, they chicken out.

These are what I believe may be the cause that leads many to become inactive but you can help them by reaching out to them. Be blessed.

The main reason why so many affiliates choose not to act after joining SFI is because they don't understand how it all works and they are afraid to try and fail. I have recruited 1000s of PSAs and I can tell that if you can pay Google for traffic they can get your sign ups. Some of these 'signups' are not legitimately qualified by your targeting, some are not 'valid' because they were paid to click on your ad without regard to the content, and just a small portion is 'dead on'. In the beginning of your ppc advertising you will see this clearly. But with tracking and improvement over time, you should only have a small number of 'erroneous clicks'.

Fear of the unknown and procrastination has robbed more affiliates of their affiliate commissions than Google has through PTR and PTC programs and domains. Most are overcome by the 'paralysis of analysis' syndrome. They want to know everything about SFI/TripleClicks and marketing online before the do anything. Then after studying page after page of information they are overwhelmed and loss in the sea of information.

While this can be traced to 90% of all affiliates, there are those few affiliates that have a knack for learning and entrepreneurship. Most of us learn by doing. Experience is not only the best teacher but the only teacher. So since most have no experience in this genre, they choose not to do and most never will achieve success because of this not because SFI is complicated or it costs too much.

This is a very good question. There are many answers to this question and I will try to list a few.
1. I think that the new affiliates have signed up thinking that this is a Get Rich Quick program

2. They think that they do not have to do anything to make it work

3. They have major information overload, a lot of people can not handle all the info thrown at them all of a sudden

4. They signed up just for a look around and find out that this is not what they wanted

5. They do not understand. SFI is a world wide company with affiliates from all over the world. A lot of new affiliates do not fully understand the English language, therefore do not understand what needs to be done. The translat system although it is good it is not the best in the world.

6. They think that they do not have the time to spend on the site each day to make it a success

7. They do not make money as fast as they want so therefore they loose interest in SFI

Hi Alvin, a number of things are responsible for this:

1. Initial energy as a result of follow up like welcome note, chats, email is totally missing.
I remain an affiliate today because I choose to. My leader never spoke to me for once.
2. What they see is different from what they believe e.g many think they can make quick money.
3. Wrong information from people who advertise SFI to them.
4. No proper leadership counsel from the team leader.
5. New realities about their individual life: death, relocation, no access to Internet etc.
6. Most of these affiliates never see it as business, so they take it casual.
7. A number of these affiliates do not ask question from their leaders, so they get frustrated and quit.
8. Motivation is necessary in this type of business, but most leaders don't extend this generosity.
9. A lot of affiliates think it is totally free, after the first month if they have to buy something, they want to quit.
10. Finally, no immediate reward in the early days of joining SFI.

Good luck!

Since 2013, I became an SFI affiliate. During this period, I have watched several affiliates become inactive soon after entering the business. There are so many benefits to achieve, on becoming a member of this noteworthy company. However, not everyone avail themselves of the privilege long enough to experience these. Instead, they quit. The list below states some reasons many affiliates become inactive shortly after they join SFI.

-They cannot find the time to do the daily activities.
-They become overwhelmed with the amount of information to read. In fact, many do not like to read.
-In addition, they are already engaged in mostly electronic social interaction. Most are already socializing on various electronic platforms so that another, no matter the purpose, will likely become abandoned because of the dominance of the others.
-They cannot understand what to do even when given a one to one tutorial.
-They are not internet savvy, which indicate that they are inflexible.
-They claim that they have to do too much work.
-They think they can make a substantial amount of money immediately even when they make no investments. They desire to get rich quick.
-Some even feel that if they get fully involved, the sponsor will benefit too much from their activities.
-Some failed at other internet business and therefore view SFI as just another of those impending failures.
-They are unwilling to explore to gain new knowledge.
-They are reluctant to communicate and so, as soon as their sponsor tries to reach out to them they cease doing the business.
-They are impatient, lack self-confidence, endurance as well as, persistence.

There are many reasons why affiliates become inactive shortly after joining SFI, and one or two of these may shock you:

1) Roughly 90% of the affiliates that sign up come into this through traffic exchanges or safelists and get intrigued by a free opportunity to make money... up until the point where they realize that this requires some actual time spent *working* and *learning*, in addition to additional (optional) expense in the form of Standing Orders and other marketing tools.

2) Some people, particularly those who get assigned through "Done For You" programs of one sort or another, actually *get paid* a small bounty for signing up for various programs. For example, you might spend $20 from someone for 20 PSAs. That person then goes to one of these sites, and spends $10 to promote your link, offering $.25 to everyone who signs up under you. That site makes $5, the 20 paid signers get their quarter each, and everybody's made something on this except for you. Obviously, the paid signers have no commitment--they're signing up to as many of these programs as they can. It's no wonder why they go inactive.

3) Finally, many of the rest are made to focus on the VersaPoints rather than on the commissions, which means they're literally spinning their wheels on what they need to do to keep their rank and not on actual promotion. Because they never get shown how to make a profit, they quickly tire and lose interest.

This is why I recommend recruiting people in person--it gets rid of all of these potential problems. Sure, you still get refusals and people who don't follow through, but at least you're getting someone you can *talk* to.

1. First of all, to say "after joining SFI" is not 100 percent true/correct! Most of the 'new comers' are only 'curious visitors' who logged in "Free" thinking they could make 'Fast-money' in the 'Easiest-possible' way(s). When they realize that it's only "Free-log-in" and NOT "Free-money", they don't bother to 'visit' again, after the 'first-log-in'!

2. Some people log-in by 'chance' or by seeing the attractive captions like "Earn from Home" or "Grow a second income" or "Honey I fired the boss", etc and the "Free-log-in" button! But, when they understand that they need to spend some 'Serious-Time' on the site, and that too daily, they don't bother to sign-up again! They are either 'Too-Busy' or 'Lazy'.

3. Some other people are 'willing' participants on the 'first-day' or 'first-few-days' and they go about completing the "to-do-list" tasks enthusiastically, but soon lose track. When they don't have any idea about 'how-to-proceed-further' or 'how-to-score-easy-points', they lose heart, get discouraged and give-up!.
Note: These people might have continued, if the 'Team Leader' had been watchful/monitoring and had provided the right kind of input/support at the right time!

4. There may be others who participate actively, each day, during the first month and become EA by scoring the required 1500 VPs through 'Action-points' alone (as there are plenty of 'action points' available during the first month. But, when they come to the second month, and realize that most of the 'easy' action points are no longer available and that they have to score the remaining points only through SVPs (sales or purchase), they simply quit!

5. There are others, who 'conclude' that a company is 'bogus' when they realize that they need to 'invest' (at-least some) money in the company to 'reap harvest', they do not participate or stop participating!

REMEMBER that no one, no wise guy, will lose an opportunity like SFI for a second income, if he/she knew the full potential of the company, the business and the scope! So, it is the responsibility of the 'Team Leader' to give the 'right-input/assistance' to the deserving affiliate at the 'right-time'! Opportunities are not given to the affiliates alone, it also come to the 'Team Leaders'! So, it is for the Team Leaders to be patient, watchful, always actively monitoring, never to miss an opportunity!

When you present a “Free to Join” marketing plan to the Internet and you do not use any kind of qualifications that would help control the type of people who click on your sign-up page then you can receive multitudes of different kinds of tire kickers.

People sign up because it is free – when they find out that it will take some kind of effort like:

1. Time
2. Money
3. Learning
4. Reading
5. Commitment
6. Patience
7. And so forth.

They will quit or become inactive – This is the norm and should be expected by everyone who is involved with building their home business with SFI and TripleClicks.

You can lower the amount of inactive affiliates that sign up by placing key words in your ads that will run off some of the tire kickers.

“Start free and then build a fast growing business with small investments.”

“If you’re willing to work your training is free and I’ll mentor you until you succeed.”

“Spend a little on games and win big rewards.”

“while daily working your business you have a chance to win great prizes in our free daily drawings”

“We’ll help you build a great second income with the smallest amount of time, effort and investments that can be found on the Internet.”

I have given enough examples – I whipped these up while writing this answer - of course the examples can be made shorter and use whatever words you wish the main thing is: put small hints in your ads that will be red flags to those who just want to look around.

By doing this you will not receive as many sign-ups but the ones you do receive will be of higher quality.
