Your business will grow faster if you can make it a team effort rather than one person working alone.

However, some family members may not be in support of your efforts from day 1. They may be skeptical about your involvement in an on-line business. Give them time, and make sure you tell them about your successes.

The best way to get them actively involved is to ask them to do something they are good at. You may need to offer a fixed payment at first. Then tell them about the results they generated, and the next time they may accept a share of the profits!

For example, my step-daughter (in her 20's) is much better than I am at designing web pages that appeal to young people, so I asked her to design a page for me. She opted for a nominal one-off payment rather than a share of the profits. It was a good investment - I have brought more upwardly mobile young people into my business as a result of that page.

She later said she wished she had taken a share of the profits - it would have been more money in the long run. I gave her the same share I had offered in the first place, so she ended up with both! Now she is happy to help whenever I ask her and she talks about 'her' business with her friends.

Hope this helps.

I will give you an example of a couple of things my wife has helped me with since I became a member of SFI.

1- As I submit advertisements on the social media platforms, whether it be for TC products, SFI or my websites. My wife has helped me out by liking the posts that I enter to help keep them up to the front of the pack.

2- I have made flyers for individuals to enter their email addresses if they are interested in learning about our TripleClicks store. My wife has taken these to work and helped me gain some email addresses of interested candidates.

Every little bit that you may be able to get your family to help you is fantastic.

The first obstacle that you will have to face is whether or not your family members believe in what you are trying to accomplish. If they have the faith, they will put forth a much higher effort to help you progress.

The next obstacle is to find out what they would be comfortable with doing according to your business plan. Once that is figured out, well, the sky is the limit.

I wish you the best of luck.

What are some ways to involve your family members to your SFI business?

That's a question every affiliate wants a good answer. Thanks Vladan for asking such a valuable question. The answers to which will provide good ways to involve family members.

I have tried many different ways to involve my family members but of no avail.But I have not lost hope. I am still trying to garner their support and I have found few ways which are as follows :

Find out the interests of each of your family members, what they like and what they enjoy doing and what are the products which could be used by them. In my case my daughter loves football and she watches most of the club matches in Europe. I am not a football fan but wanted to play Uber game. To involve my daughter I asked her what are the good teams in European Clubs and she replied happily and guided me to pick probable winners. This way I could involve her a little bit. I am partially successful.
My second daughter loves online shopping. This opened a window of opportunity for me to show her Tripleclicks products online which she now regularly watches and I am sure she may eventually involve in it one day.

My brother loves card games and I introduced him to Cards King game. He plays it regularly now.

This is how I involved my family members. You can also duplicate it.

All the best to you.

The term ‘business partner' can have a wide range of meanings, with one of the most frequent being a person who, along with another person, plays a significant role in owning, managing, or creating a company.

The term is also frequently used for two businesses that cooperate, to any degree.

You will want to review what skills your family members have that can be leveraged to enhance what you have for your SFI business.

Examples to consider -

Social Media - many youth are comfortable with posting and using Social Media so why not have a younger member of your family do weekly or daily postings on Social Media websites with content that you pre-approve that will represent SFI and your business effectively;

Blogging/Vlogging - family members may have their own blogs and might be recruited to become your Blogging Creator and developer with SFI content and updates that you prepare but ask he or she to load them to keep your blog current for fans to read and benefit from;

Google Drive - many students in post-secondary programing and even in high schools are quite comfortable with using google drive to share documents or even to create forms that may be used to solicit input such as through survey usage or even membership sign-up pages,

Marketing - family members will go to places that you may not so you can develop a working relationship with them to promote SFI or TripleClicks by distribution of flyers or X-cards at places that they go during the day that you do not go to;

Product Reviews - TripleClicks sells many products and as an affiliate leverage the use of your own store by brining in products into the home for them to use such as cleaners, health products or other items that they receive such as gifts et al. A product review is valuable and may be used on blogs, email updates or even on other Social Media campaigns;

Markets - rent a table and have family members assist by being a representative of your business and have them share their experience on how SFI has helped the family not only monetarily but non-monetary benefits such as having more time together as a family, learning how to run a business et al. At these markets be sure to have pamphlets, post-cards and even samples of the SFI business available to be distributed. The more that are distributed the more potential there is to attract and recruit new PSA's, CSA's and even ECA's.

Businesses that are home based are absolutely a great means for families to strengthen their ties and to work together for the greater good.

Involving your family members with your SFI business is a very healthy environment because you are collaborating with people you trust and care about.

Here are some ways you can involve your family members.

1. Let them understand why you are doing SFI and the reasons why you want to involve them with the business. Briefly tell them that now on its 17th year in the business, SFI is by many measures the best home-based online global business that has evolved on the net. SFI is not a scam but a genuine and real business. SFI business is a hybrid of an affiliate program and e-commerce. It is simple business and easy to do; and you can earn from $1 to 5-figure monthly income or more.

2. If your family members agree to do SFI and believe that SFI is a business opportunity that is worth doing, let them understand that you're all in this together, and are working toward a common goal. They must be willing to take the risks and make financial sacrifices for the business, if things get tough.

3. Take time to discuss and draw a strategic plan with your family members. Ask everyone: What are you hoping to achieve? Where do you want to be in five years, as an individual? As a family? And as a business? How do you want your SFI business to become? Identify your long-term and short-term goals, and from there you can see how you want to work the SFI business together.

4. Each one must have proper mindset and clear expectations about the SFI business opportunity.

5. SFI offers multiple income streams. Delegate to your family members the different tasks involved in building your SFI/TripleClicks business.

There are plenty of ways to involve your family members with your SFI business as partners. Here are several positions that come to mind:

1. President - someone who will oversee every member of the company to ensure that their time, gifts, and assignments maximize profits for the good of the business.

2. Vice-President - someone who reports directly to the President as it relates to particular area of expertise. For example, the Vice-President of Marketing would oversee all aspects of marketing to include public relations.

3. Director Email Marketing Operations - handles all email communciation for the company.

4. Director Website and Banner Design - handles all website properties and their design for the purpose of branding, lead generation, conversions, and information.

5. Social Media Consultant - handle all social media posts and content.

6. Executive Administrative Assistant - to assist all other with minial tasks pertinent to the success of the task at hand. They do research, run errands, and serve as a gopher for the other 5 partners.

7. Comptroller - tracks each and every financial transaction to include payrol, withdraws, stipends, petty cash, deposits, and bookkeeping.

8. Accountant - analyzes cash flows, net profits, gross margin, and set up, maintain, and audit the books. Every month a finacial statement will show overall profits, losses, assets, and liabilities and be presented to the Vice-President monthly.

Personally, my family members help me out with the daily tasks at SFI to free me up for other chores.
Here's how I get them to help out:

1. I make available to each of my family members a laptop each with internet connection cards to enable them to get to work.
2. I give them several 'watch-over-the-shoulder' practice runs until I know they're doing the right thing.
3. I co-ordinate working hours or time-shifts for them to ensure each has a fair working time thats convenient and runs well with their other engagements.
4. Currently I am getting one person to do almost every daily task on their shift, however, eventually I may organise them into working on specific tasks.
5. I monitor their work at the start of the day and before the end of the day to ensure that the tasks are complete and my daily AVPs are firmly secured.
6. Finally, I give them pocket allowances for their time and effort just to ensure everyone is happy and that this project is sustained.

I am still experimenting with co-ordination and am also trying out various possibilities at hand and will hopefully adopt the one that works well for me.

I think a good way is to tell your family about your activity, not only once but all the time when you have a relaxation moment, when you drink coffee together, when you chat while you watch TV or when you have lunch or dinner together. Believe me they will feel your enthusiasm as you speak about your own business and how good it is not to have a boss, about all the nice things you sell and you can buy from the online store which a successful one because other people already took care of it.
At first, you tell them about SFI and tell them what is it about, then you should tell them about your activities every day, you should show them on the computer about the SFI and TripleClicks, about the Pricebenders bids and the Eager Zebra games, why not to invite them to play this games and to bid with you, show them how you bid. Every time you win VPs, or a contest as T-Time or Daily Crown Drawings, tell them, show them, share with them about all these.
I do the same and my husband asks me about my activity and about the business all the time. I share with my family the excitement when I win in contests and I also show them my ECA store and I ask for their opinion regarding the ECA products, I ask for help for the photos to upload in the store and also for the products details.
You will notice they will be very happy to help.
I hope this was helpful and I wish you only good luck!

Family members play a vital role if they are your partners in business. They have a very long list of contacts through business and other ventures that they may be involved in so their list of prospective affiliates is a never ending one.

It is amazing how one member of your family may link up with a friend who knows another friend and this positive chain of contacts is there for you to explore and exploit.

The other extremely useful participation in your business comes from the need and want for gifts and this can result in a high volume of sales through referrals. Because you are involved in the business, your family members will appreciate that you are working with TripleClicks and they will be at ease when placing their orders. This is another way.

I normally find that whenever there is a family gathering or reunion, this is the best time to pass on your business cards to them or pick up a few close members and talk to them of this new venture you are involved with.

You never know which family member will be instrumental in helping you expand your business. Nothing goes to waste even if you feel that they seem uninterested, do not lose hope. Your professional business card is another entry into your family members' home

Remain positive at all times and the results will be positive, without a doubt!

It is great if a family can work together and build a business together.

According to SFI rules you can not sign up a family member that lives in the same house as you - like your wife for example but there is nothing stopping you from signing up your family members that does not live with you - like your siblings and cousins and even grown up children.

I believe you are in a partnership with your team - up and down line. You need your upline to teach and guide you and you need to do the same with your downline. Why? Because if they succeed so do you and so does your sponsor and up. Unfortunately the opposite is also true. Failure also tends to run up and down a line. If you sign up your family you sign up partners - with one big difference - you can comminicate in ways that you can't really do with a stranger from a different country and most probably give each other a kick when needed.

You can also have your inhouse family as your partners - working the same account. You can for example take turns to log in. Or maybe you log in most of the time but your wife or son or daughter knows your password and plan for the business and they can step in and work when you are sick or away or for whatever reason you can not log in.

You can also share the responsibilities - for example: you have a little experience with advertising - so you do all the advertising and marketing and another family member earn the VP by doing the daily tasks. You can also invest your money in the business and share the profits.

I can tell you this much - if I had a partner to handle the marketing and advertising I would be very happy to hand it over - I do it and I learn more about it - but I do not have that mich time to spend on doing it so my business is not growing as fast as I would like it to. Fortunately I am positive, optimistic and I don't give up because it is hard. Eventually I will get there. As for you, if you can find ways to get your family involved - go for it.
