First and foremost, when you obtain a new affiliate, my best advice is to advise them to reach 1500VP and keep the rest of the once-off ACTION VP for the next month and possibly some for the following month. That way they will be able to become EA2 by the second month easily.

It is also recommended to use the Launch Pad lessons as they were designed, one a day for a month, that way you are guaranteed 15VP per day plus 11VP for Daily Action VP. The other advantage is that you can absorb more learning absorbing bite size pieces of information on what SFI is all about.

Make sure you train your affiliates to earn their Daily Action VP by accessing each Red-Lettered tab on the homepage. Exceptions are - the Alert, AskSC and WinIt Tabs.

Alert tab - this is good to follow the latest News about SFI and also the latest discussion threads on SFI Forum - these in themselves are golden nuggets and one can learn a lot from them.

AskSC - one needs to vote for 10 Answers before receiving 1VP, if you vote for 30 Answers you receive an extra entry into the WinIt! contest.

WinIt! - this is only available if you have earned a minimum of 10VP the day before, you can then enter the Daily Grand draw.

All other tabs have to be read through to the bottom of the page and then click on the blue button to receive your VP for that page. The Goals tab is a little different, one has to put in a comment of what one has done that day to achieve the goals that are set at the top of the page - the comment is entered at the bottom of the page and submitted once the Submit button has been clicked.

Back to how to help the affiliates lacking funds.

Another way to encourage them is to advise them to find 10 other people who share the same vision of SFI and get them to reach 1500VP each month, like they themselves did, and after the second month of reaching EA2, as their sponsor, they will earn 100VP ACTION - for every affiliate who reaches EA2. If all 10 affiliates reach EA2, there is 1000VP ACTION points and they will have about 500VP collected over the month from the Daily Action points and Weekly Action points, together with the Monthly Action points.

Regarding Getting Started Actions, Intermediate Actions and Advanced Actions, use these sparingly and treat them like gold. This way if you are frugal and calculate when you need to use them to add to your goal of 1500VP per month, you will be able to achieve EA for possibly 3 consecutive months. In this time, it would be wise to start finding as many people as possible so you can get your 10 dedicated people who will be your team that will provide the needed 1000VP ACTION points, added to your own 500VP ACTION points you've earned, that you need to qualify each month.

Hope this gives you some food for thought. If my name is eventually revealed, you may contact me for further help.

To our success!

Reinforcement is vital. After becoming EA I was doubtful if I could continue with the SFI program...

Then I started to scout around in the Forum and reading the Ask SC about what others have to say after reaching that status…

I learnt that the second and third months are the most difficult months and without funds you must find free ways to advertise your gateways, and to continue your daily to-do list.

I read that just like any business a small investment is a must which made a lot of sense. So any funds that can be spared and used to purchase items from the TripleClicks store which carries Versa Points earnings will help.

I decided that it would be in my best interest to invest in my downline because I realize that if they fail I fail. So I offered Gift Certificates for my EA's to experience shopping in their TripleClicks store.

I point out the TTime opportunity where every member have a free opportunity every hour to win 2 TCredits.

I sent emails containing links to training Videos to those where it is obvious that enough reading and comprehension was not attained. There they will see and get a better understanding of how the system can work to benefit them.

And, last but not least find ECA’ s to join and receive lifetime commissions.

First, encourage the new affiliate that even though they don't have any funds, they can still earn the needed VersaPoints if they are willing to spend the time to do it.

They can earn earn 11 VP a day for doing their daily actions (not including VP for bids) which is 330 VP for the month.
30 VP a week for sending encouraging messages with helpful tips/ information to their team (120 VP for the month).
5 VP a week for checking their T Connect page (20 VP for the month) and 3 VP a week for submitting messages to their stream (12 VP for the month).
15 VP for the month for doing monthly actions.

So far, that is 497 VP leaving 1003 VP left to earn. The rest of the VP can be earned by:

-Checking their to-do list for any "Getting Started", "Intermediate" or "Launchpad" actions they haven't already done yet that they can earn VP for.
-Completing actions on their "to-do list" under "TripleClicks", "Team Leadership & Support" and "Intermediate actions".
-From bidding in auctions using any T Credits they may have (maximum of 500 VP). Note: They can win 2 T Credits a day by entering T-time once every hour at https://www.tripleclicks.com/t_time.php. There are 720 T-time winners a day.
-By generating sales from TC members who signed up under their link with their SFI id in it who are not also SFI affiliates. Since they are not also affiliates, any purchases they make not only gives the affiliate VP from it but also earn them a commission.

Encourage them to enter the Daily Grand each day they log in and received at least 10 VP the day before. Also, provide them with any helpful links for marketing. If you see them trying very hard (they are logging almost every day and doing things on their "to-do list"-maybe even trying to set up a website/ blog) and they are in communication with you, you can help by giving them TCredits or a small gift certificate (let them know how to use it to their advantage). Remind them that the more they work on their SFI business, the more it will grow. It takes time but with hard work and perseverance, they can succeed.

There are many different ways to help a new affiliate, that is cash strapped, to get VersaPoints.

To find cash:

1. I would ask them to write out all the expenses they have and keep track of every cent that they spend for 30 days.

2. Then they should go through this list and determine if they can find some extra money by making some changes that would enable them to do this.

3. See if there is anything that they could sell, through TripleClicks, to raise some cash to use for SFI.

4. If they have a little money, I would recommend that they purchase some TCredits which would help them to raise some MRP that would help them to buy some products.

5. Change their buying habits to getting products/things that they already use from their business instead of going to the grocery or other store.

Let them know that they need to be completing their To Do List everyday to utilize all the points available there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for asking because this is very critical both to you as sponsor and to your affiliates.

First month will be easy to get the needed VP to become EA but the second month onward will be very challenging specially if they have no funds.

Honestly, its quite impossible to maintain EA without buying from TripleClicks starting from second month. The only way for those who don't have fund is for them to sell items from TripleClicks outside SFI to Personally Referred Member (PRM). They will not only earn direct commission but also the VP assigned to the item they sold.

If they can not sell to PRM, tell them that its alright if they can not reach EA yet, what they need to do is just continue to earn their free daily VP and intensify their efforts in finding affiliates (PSA).

Encourage them to identify potential affiliates from among their network of relationships who turn active and start buying from TripleClicks. They need to earn as early as possible.

Next, still part of intensified efforts to find affiliates, they should learn how to promote their gateways to different social media and to free ads posting sites.

There will a point in time that you will need to assist them financially so that they jump-start their SFI business. You do this if they already have active affiliates.

Helping them financially when they don't have active affiliates is a waste of resources. It will not do any good for both of you, because it will just be a temporary solution and not sustainable.

Just one last word, be sure to know if they don't really have the fund or they don't just want to invest and what they want is to depend on you.

I understand the concept of having no money! In the world economy today we have to learn to be wise with where we spend or put our money..remember this business is an investment and you will always benefit from a business that you put into.

However, there are things that you can do to earn more VP and become EA:

First of all make sure that you and your team are all doing your daily points everyday..don't forget to see your to-do-list and click the link to see the new TripleClick items (I missed alot of VP by not knowing that trick)..you should be able to earn 11 VP daily with that and Ask SC.

Secondly, enter contests. The first one to enter is the T-time, it costs you nothing but 20 seconds and the effort of 3 mouse clicks. Second make sure after doing your daily points and Ask SC you enter the Daily Grand drawing..again this is free. The other one you can enter is the TripleClicks PTP (Pick the Price)..this does cost a TCredit but if you win you get TCredits so it can't hurt to try. Also pay attention to your Upline's leadership page for any contests or promotions they may have going.

Remember that you get VP for all purchases (unless MRP are used) and for each bid on auctions. Don't forget to promote your business..you get points when your PSA's become EA2.

Hope this gives you some ideas and helps keep you moving along in your business. If you are still struggling don't forget to contact your upline they may be able to help you also! :)

Best wishes in your SFI business!

I can speak from experience when I give you this answer as I was an affiliate that didn't have any funds.

The first thing I did was spend a simple $10 to get 20 TCredits.
With that I was lucky enough to win 300 TCredits, Silver + 75 TCredits, and 50 CSAs.

I later signed up for Wave3 for just $1.95 and got the 5 TCredits and 50 MRP.
I used all of the MRP from my bidding to purchase TC Direct Products and get the VersaPoints from those items.

So I was able to make it through month #1 with only $11.95. And the VersaPoints from daily and monthly tasks I was able to classify as Silver Team Leader.

For month #2 I set up a standing order for 125 TCredits for $36.50. And by the bids, the MRP, and daily tasks was able to classify as Bronze Team Leader.

Going into month #3 I have been very sick and out of work at my actual job, so money is VERY tight. So this month I did a standing order for 50 TCredits for $19.50. This was something that better fit my budget but was also that would get me above Executive Affiliate.

With little investment I have been able to achieve my rank and build an amazing downline!! SFI is definitely a business that you can be successful with no matter how much money you have.

Remember that duplication is the key! Good luck and keep the faith!!

I'm answering this question from my personal experience.

I'm into my 3rd month. I'm an EA2. Till date I haven't spent a single penny (except for buying WAVE3, which is still not delivered to me.)

I could do this only and only because I followed all the basics of SFI business.

Since I joined, I never missed a single VP from my daily, weekly and monthly actions.
I always took part in Daily Grand and T-Time contest.
Whatever TCredits I accumulated, I used it for PTP contest, where I again won few TCredits. Few Tcredits I used it for bidding and accumulated some MRP's.
I used these MRP's for buying Tcredits (single-102vp each).

As everyone does, even I won some VP's (100+200+300vps) for being in E365 contest.

It was not because I was lucky throughout these days, but I gave my 100% by logging in to SFI everyday and do the basics.

In short, if an Affiliate doesn't follow the SFI system with 100% commitment, forget about second month, he/she will not be able to sustain themselves in SFI for too long.

Hope my inputs will be useful for some of the new affiliates and also for some sponsors.

Cheers!

The best way to support a new affiliate from the second month in gaining needed VersaPoints is to encourage. Offer advice how to duplicate you. There are many ways to increase VersaPoints without any funds.

Usually, the affiliates are given TCredits for entering the "Daily Grand" contest every day.

If the affiliate enters the T-Time Contest they will also earn TCredits and other prizes for winning.

If they have items to sell for money on the ECA Website, this is a great way to earn cash and VP Points. If they do not have anything to sell, they can "Share" other's items and when other's buy from the ECA Sellers, a commission, called a referral commission would also be given to whoever referred others to items that sell in the ECA Sales.

Additionally, you may offer a one-time $2 gift card to be used for shipping a W3 Package. If they have no funds, be sure they at least have a vehicle. It would not make sense to help someone without a vehicle to get a sticker to put on their vehicle.

However, you could offer them a small $2 gift certificate to help them buy a digital ebook, tell them the ebook should have resale rights, too. When their eBook arrives, they may become an ECA and sell the same eBook to others to make back the investment, and continue to earn by using the resale rights.

In 14 days of the purchase that you helped fund, be sure to remind them to review the item they bought with the $2 gift certificate so that more VP could be earned.

Also, SFI has many flyers that may be printed out and placed at laundrymats, supermarkets, church bullitan boards, at college dorm areas, at the library, to others without funds that also wish to sell their items. The more free advertising, the better chances to put people on their team that can also learn how to make money with SFI without money to invest.

Additionally, you may hold contests that encourage your teammembers to EARN gift certificates from you. Whoever gets the most team members winns this, just for doing the daily to-do-list, every day for the month they may get rewarded. Just be sure you are HELPING this person EARN VersaPoints, and not DOING IT FOR THEM.

If you worked at a hourly job, and they just got hired and you worked there longer so make more than they did...and they didn't even receive their first paycheck yet, because they are too new...and you just got paid WHAT YOU EARNED...Would you feel bad they did not work long enough with the company...and HELP THEM not to quit their job and to prove to the boss they are worth more than the money they were hired in at? Or would you just give away the money you earned and work FOR THEM?

Be sure you are HELPING them earn and not doing it for them. It will make you have to work that much harder every month, and will not even help them or you...nor the other team members either.

IF you teach them how to start out with no money and succeed, they will also learn to teach others how to do this, too. Why would you want someone on your team that is not earning VP on their own? This will continue to happen if you let it.

Advertising for free, entering the hourly T-Time Contests, entering the Daily Grand Contest, sending others to buy their favorite items just by sharing it will help them eventually be able to buy their favorite items, too.

Also, be sure they are reading the SC Question and answer board, and always rating 30 answers, before they enter the Daily Grand Contests to make their chances of winning that much greater.

Be sure they always post and share with you their goals. SFI helps even those without any funds to earn money.

The reason you are their TEAM LEADER is by showing them by example, encouraging them, offering them advice, showing them many ways they may achieve their goals. If they have no funds, I am sure they know others that wish to make money with SFI, too. Maybe they will even find some ECA's that own a business.
* To translate languages, we recommend: http://translate.google.com/#

The most important thing is to continue reading and rating the SC Section, ask their question in the forum to see what others did to achieve their goals, read the LaunchPad, for the first 30 days, if they didn't get to read them all. Visit the to-do-list every day, too...and always enter all the contests. Be friendly and helpful to others that they can share with others the knowledge you have as their team leader to share.

I hope this helps. The most important thing is to be sure to ask the affiliates to whitelist SFI, TripleClicks, and other eMails so they can always be sure to receive eveything sent.

Hope this helps
