The best way to encourage your affiliates to set up a Standing Order is to have one yourself. Explain to them the importance of a standing order in maintaining their rank and having bonus VP too. One point in having a standing order which you can tell them is that they are pre-purchasing products at a lower price which shaves a bit of their expenses that they can use to purchase additional items in case they have to. Hope this helps and have a nice day!
How can I get people interested in buying from TripleClicks when there are so many other options to buy online?

To ensure that they will buy from Tripleclicks, make them part of the SFI Family. Make them part of the Tripleclicks store, if they are part of it they will purchase it. Just like having your own store, what you need that is in your you have to buy in your store.
Another reason why they have to buy at Tripleclicks is the opportunity to gain VP's, MRP, and TCredits from their purchase which they may use to purchase other products after accumulating it.
Has anyone tried the paid Facebook advertising and, if so, did it work/was it was worth the cost?

I don't do paid advertising on Facebook as this site is mainly used for social purposes and most of its users are just there to keep tabs on what's happening with other peoples lives :) But I do post some achievements and other good things happening at SFI and Tripleclicks and I got a few clicks to the gateway but not really that significant as most just look at the gateway like a status update and never signed up.
I only use Facebook to talk to some of my acquaintances through PM and chat and have to ask them to signup and experience SFI and this generated signups but almost all of them are not moving :(
So all in all, Facebook is just Facebook, people look at statuses and pics of others and really don't care about you put in them... unless you look funny in your pic, then you get a comment or a like if your lucky :)

How can I best respond to an affiliate who feels they worked hard but are unhappy with their first commission?

Tell them that their first commission is only from the VP's they have accumulated. Tell them that this commission is their basis to estimate how many active affiliates they need to gain more in SFI. Everyone at SFI starts with a very low commission, say $1.00, but if they duplicate themselves and gain Team Leader Status, they can multiply this small commission to a lot more. Sit and talk with them and tell them that if they want to gain more, they have to work more, this is a business and hard-work is needed to make your business grow. Teach them the value of duplication.

What is the best way to evaluate Traffic Exchanges for SFI use?

My checklist to evaluate Traffic Exchanges would be:
1. Is it cheap or free?
2. Does it deliver good results?
Best way to check if it does is to put keycodes in your affiliate URL to know which Traffic Exchange sites have a high sign-up ratio. Rank all traffic exchanges that you tested.
3. After ranking them all by sign-ups. Check the ratio between sign-ups and movers, its better to have one active sign-up than a hundred that just clutters up your genealogy without any activity. Test all sign-ups with a contest at your rewards/incentives page and see which sign-ups from a site delivers a high-response rate.
Thats it! Hope that helps. Good Luck!

Should I reach out to the affiliates on my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. generations...or leave support to their sponsor?

Make time for all your affiliates from 1st to last. A simple message of encouragement and willingness to help from time to time will greatly boost the morale and tightens the bond within your team. Always remember that whenever a sponsor is removed due to inactivity then their downline passes up to you, so if you are always there for all of them then their will never be any confusion among your team whoever their sponsor might be.

The best way to advertise SFI is to be successful yourself. You are the one that your prospect will look up too. Whatever media you use, any prospect of yours will always look at you and see if you personify a person who is successful in this business and that will be the force to move them into signing up.
Where can I find SFI success stories? And/or perhaps YOU have one to share?

You can scour the web and search for success stories but the only success story that would really matter is the person you see when you look at a mirror. YOU!
The real success is that you were approached to join SFI and you did. Being here already tells us that you are serious about your future and being here shows to us that you are willing to take up the challenge to become one of SFI's finest.
Recognizing the achievements of your PSAs is important. How do you recognize YOUR PSAs/downline?

You can recognize the achievements of your PSAs/downline through your Leadership Page, there is a Recognition Tab there exactly for that purpose. After posting it on your Leadership Tab, email all your downlines using the PSA/CSA/Team Mailer to let them be aware that you have updated your Leadership Blogs and ask them to look at your best Movers for that month or week.
Do not neglect your Leadership Page (LP), this is a very efficient feature of SFI to keep all your downlines up to date. This feature is a big help for those who have a large team, this will cut back a lot of your time by posting all your important messages at your LP instead of emailing them one by one. Hope this helps, good luck!

I have affiliates who are inactive. Is it a good idea or bad idea to reassign them to my active affiliates?

Reassigning an affiliate is never a bad idea. It gives you 5VP just by doing it and it boosts the morale of your downline by having a generous sponsor. This will also help your PSA's and CSA's in gaining more VP, especially if they don't have any downline because they can now earn VP through weekly tasks of mailing to their team. This will also teach them to monitor their downline and will help greatly in improving their communication skills.
