I like this question, it brings me back to a leadership meeting I attended at my full time job.

The below is a generalization of this age group, it does not portray every single person of this age.

The age group, 21-35, is considered as the Gen-Y. The generation that is not tied down to anything. Maybe looking for less strenuous types of jobs to make money but also give them the opportunity to live their life. They like "getting trophies even for placing 5th place",

Hi Ana!

I think the best strategy is simply to promote this as something they can do on the side - in their spare time - with little time and monetary investment.

I think people that age are focused, and rightfully so, on earning an income to live on. SFI should definitely be considered a supplementary income for them - but can be promoted as a good source of supplementary income for them with minimal effort - so it wouldn't detract from their work at their job which

Your question can get you very negative answers as well as very positive answers. I am in two minds about that myself.

The youth grew up with technology, so they can use it very well and if they put their minds to it they will give the rest of us a run for our money - they will hit record incomes.

The part I am worried about is that they want instant gratification and when they don't get it they move on to the next challenge - so if you plan to target them - make sure you can

To attract younger people to SFI, we have to read the minds of the youngsters, their approach towards life. This generation people are generally career seekers and hence may like to settle for SFI as a second income source.

Keeping this in mind, we should stress on the following points as a strategy-

1. It is an online business, driven by latest technology.

2. You may become successful in SFI even by working fir 1-2 hours in a day.

3. In this time of smartphones,

When you are 35 years old you definitely think different then you was 29 or 21 years old. You respect me and want completely different things.

Younger people (21-26) are generally more familiar with the social network, they have more confidence in the Internet, but they are generally not inclined to work. They want quick money, current earnings and generally are not responsible. Of course, there are exceptions. It is not a problem to find them. Visit website of celebrities, various forums

The best strategy for attracting younger people is by coming to their level by seeing things from their own point of view. Everyone in that age bracket is in their “earning years” so you will be point-on if you say things to them which will enable them earn some money. Go find young people everywhere they can be found. To do that successfully, you must create time to take your SFI business to the following places.

01. College campuses.
02. Local gyms.
03. Sports clubs and

First of all I would ask why you would want to restrict yourself to a specific age group when trying to get active affiliates?

Personally I take and treat most of my affiliates in the same way.

There are many ways of attracting affiliates to sign up to SFI as it is free, but the problem is turning those free affiliates into active affiliates.

I believe a lot of the advertising that is done for SFI does not give the potential affiliate the information they need to

There are many ways I'm sure, however, I like the idea of making an appeal to the college grad or student or both. Mostly those whose major is online business, marketing, retail, gaming etc.

Here's a possible subject title and content for an ad:

"Help Pay for College!"

Use years old Proven online marketing program to help earn your way through school!

Combine what you're learning in the classroom according to your field of study with FREE online

Generally, young people love to play the game, I think you can start from there

Many games at TripleClicks you can offer to them.
They could win and get TCredit in that game
Then they can use it to auction and can get the items with very cheap prices if they win.

Tell them, if they become SFI affiliate they can earn more benefit.
For example got bonus VP when playing the game (explain to them about VP). Get bonus PSA when the auction (explain to them

Hi Ana
Your best strategy is first of all know the desire of those people in such age bracket. Why? This is will give you the idea of what they want and how SFI can help them to achieve.
People of such age bracket wants to be successful in their Jobs, create an interesting second paycheck, look for business avenues that could meet their needs without much cost. They want to be responsible people.
With these kind of mindset, you can present SFI to them stating the 17 year success business
