I lack computer knowledge and here's how I've done it so far. I have relied on my friends' young adult children to get my photo on my profile and my ECA items for sale. Wonderfully, this has given me an in to show the business to 4 qualified prospects.

I know pretty much how to send email, but not the PC part of my computer. I use the "draft" folder to store really great things I have written or have copy and pasted there.

I also have many other folders to keep things

The best part of this business is that there are only minimal computer skills required. If you understand how to get to a website and click on links we can teach you the rest.
Although there is no specific computer training on this website the training they offer as part of the business offers technical explanations within them.
If there are still questions beyond the obvious they have both an upline and a forum to fall back on for more information.
There will always be questions

I lack knowledge as far as setting up domain pages, links, etc. I have found my CoSponsor to be a HUGE support in this area. Many times I have written him crying b/c I don't understand how to do certain things online, and he has patiently taken my hand and led me through the process (all via emails~LOL). That being said, if this person doesn't have anyone close to them who can help them with the basics so they can sign up for SFI; encourage him/her to go to a public library and ask the librarian

What a nice question asked first time in ASK SC tab? And here I am the best answer of this question because I have very lack computer knowledge but keen interest (after my son requested me to join SFI) is taken me nearly 4months successfully into SFI. I mark that very little skill but very keen interest required here. and beyond that on every step there is someone who is ready to help you. So it is very easy to join and stay with SFI with help of Sponsor, help, forum and a2a. Only requirement of

I will motivate him/her more and increasing his/her interest more by:
1. Showing attractive sections of SFI/TC, for example Pricebenders Auctions that how one can win valuables at small fraction of price.
2. Disclosing the benefits and earnings of starting an ECA.
3. Most importantly, guiding and assisting him/her in very easy steps that he/she can digest in one session.
4. Encouraging him/her to be punctual sparing some time daily for SFI.
5. Making all the learning in

Determine the level of lack of knowledge that this person has.
Demonstrate by repetition those computer activities that are required.
Show by example each SFI step, step by step.

In today's world, there might be very few people who are unaware with the basic knowledge of computer, yet if you find one of them interested in SFI, you can help him/her and motivate in following ways:

1. Showing them how to earn VPs for a few clicks of the mouse.

2. Bookmarking the important pages which are needed to be visited daily.

3. Show them the Pricebenders auction which just requires clicking to win Grand Prizes.

4. If shows interest, help him/her

We have way more information online now than when I first got online in 1991. Tell them they can watch videos on every topic they need help with on YouTube or read articles at eHow.com to learn any skill they need. And if you have expertise, offer to help them learn.

I would tell him (her) just to plan a daily basis "training"
May be buy an e-book at tripleclick if there's so? I am relatively new so not sure ... and sorry computer professional You could tell this person that everything and master a domain need time so she or he should be patient!

He shouldn't try to do too much so... will not leave and give up.

Step by step, organised,
Be curious !!
That's it

And Good Luck!
