Most of affiliates don't know the power of SFI System. Therefore, they won't take interest. You have to send them weekly emails with friendly/attractive text to motivate them. Avoid lengthy emails. Offer your full assistance. Even offer them rewards like Gift Certificates/Tcredits. You will get some responses. Start with Movers:
1. Share your advertising/marketing experience with them.
2. Provide them sites you are satisfied with and getting results.
3. Initially offer them $10 Gift Certificate to use at the most selective advertising site. Instruct them in easy way, you can use even Skype to guide them through the procedure. They will establish interest and will feel that how easy it is. And when they start getting results, it will motivate them to do more by their own.
Continue with other sleeping downline. Don't give up. You will be amazed after some time to discover that how many of them are getting interest and responding to your messages.

Having a large downline is of no use if there is no seriousness in the affiliates regarding the business. So you must make them a bit serious about the work, ask them to log in everyday and score VPs. This will help you judge the affiliates who are really here to learn and earn and others for just time pass.
So the next step is to train the interested affiliates from your downline, support them by rewarding gift certificates and encourage them.
Once they get involved you can take them as ready horses and start teaching them regarding how to market. Tell them about different ways of advertising specified in MARKETING tab and also ask them to have as many S Builder coop as possible. Also invite them in your coop or give them a share of it. Give them a list of better performing sites and ask them to try them.
In the nutshell, encourage them and give hint and you will see results.

The easiest way to handle this problem is by setting up an advertising coop and inviting them to participate in it. This way you can even generate additional prospects that you can allocate to the ones who are active but have limited or no budget to advertise.

This way you will be helping the ones who are not that experienced in on-line marketing and the ones who have limited budgets.

Share your own advertising successes with your downline. Let them know what you are doing and what is working. ie: "I just wanted to let you know that I'm have a lot of success advertising SFI at xxxx. If you'd also like to increase your team you might like to give it a try".

You can also start your own advertising co-op and let your team know they are welcome to be part of it. It could be a paid participation or you could offer to put them in the co-op at your expense if they reach a certain milestone ie. EA or BTL. Of course, this depends on your personal advertising budget or time.

Also ask them to share their advertising successes or frustrations with you so you help out if needed. You may not get many responses, but you'll know that those who do respond are serious about building their business.

Best of luck!

The first thing you have to do is to ensure that they are active, thereafter, teach them the benefits of recruit their own PSAs. If they find it difficult, introduce them to S-Builder.

With all my signups, I make one general assumption: I assume that whoever is joining SFI under me is a newbie and has little to no idea about business and internet marketing.

With this in mind, I take it as my responsibility as their sponsor to introduce and educate them on the pros and cons of marketing and advertising right from the most basics to more advanced ways to enable them become savvy marketers. Over the course of the training, they will come to realise themselves the importance of advertising.

What are you doing that is working for you? Tell them! What advertising methods are you using that is bringing in positive results? Introduce them to those methods. They look to you for guidance so lead the way so they can follow in your steps.

This training can take various forms: you could jot down your methods in a simple pdf download titled say "SFI workbook" that is immediately available for download to each new signup to read and follow, it could be in video format or weekly call ins. Whatever way works for you, employ it. The most important thing is that they are being trained and showed what to do in a step by step format.

In addition, I am constantly testing new advertising resources and when I get a winner, I announce it to my downline so they can key in too. With a strategy like this, you get an active and robust downline in no time.

Hope this helps...

The question of getting your downline to advertise SFI may be best answered by help them to build their list. I assume you are using online marketing techniques and one of the most common misconceptions about online marketing is generate traffic to your affiliate web site. A much better method and a proven method is to advertise a lead capture page and build your list. Then using auto responder series of Emails you give those subscribers something of value tips, tricks...and start to introduce SFI to your list of subscribers.
To answer your question provide your downline with their own lead capture pages, their own auto responder emails pre written by you. They then only need to include their contact info. I would start by getting all of them to join you on Skype so you can talk with each of them to address their particular needs.
Skype also allows you to share links, thoughts, concepts, get clarifications. If you need more assistance please contact me.

The best way to invite them in doing something is always through our own example and experience.
There is plenty of incentives and info all around the SFI Center, for all of them to know the importance of promoting and getting lots of referrals to build their own team.
We can invite them to participate in a coop that we do for our team, to participate in S-Builder Coop as a way to get started with their own promotion.
Regarding promoting themselves, they possibly do not do it because they might be afraid, they might not know where to start or how to proceed, or some undefined reason.
So we need to show them the way, teach them how and where... for example, I prepared a document that I am sending to my affiliates from time to time - because I always do some updates to it - that indicates all of the ways I am promoting my business and what kind of results I am getting... it provides them with many possibilities on where to start, and they can choose what suits them best, and they can see that my ways are always changing - improving from time to time as I find better ways along the way, and they can also see that I am getting results... it might be encouraging to get started.
I can also put some incentive by telling them that for each new affiliate they get, I will match it or I will give them 10TCredits or any form of little contest can help.
And, I always remind them that I am there for them if they have any question at any time.
However, we also need to remember that we can "teach them how to" but we can't do it for them.
What we can do is to always do our best in providing all the needed support and presence!

I try to explain it to them very simply that "Nothing happens if you don't advertise".
Advertising is the bloodline of any business and if nobody knows about your business you will be out of business real soon.
