It really a matter of choice which advertising you want to use and the amount of funs you have at your disposal.

Free Advertising:
The goal of all advertising is to get your name out there. And when it's free, it's even better. You can use free advertising to showcase your knowledge about a product. If you are simply putting free ads on a website, you have limited space to show how your business can help customers.
Depending on the type of free advertising you are receiving,

The best way will be to lead by example. You must never give up. Demonstrate that you are sticking to the course regardless the ups and downs and they will see that and learn to kill the doubt. Discourage negative talk as much as possible by changing it to something positive. Help tem to be patient. Any business need a period of input before once can see profits.

Try to be understanding. Keep them motivated. Take time to know each affiliate in your team. Check their profile and see

The first action would be to maintain your status of EA each month. To qualify for the rank of Team Leader, my suggestion is that you go for the maximum sales points - 2,000 VP via purchase or sales.

Once that is is place, you need to accumulate your action points to move to which ever level you want , that is, BTL – 1000, STL – 2000, GTL – 3,000, PTL – 4,000. These points can be achieved by the following:

1. Ensure your active PSAs maintain their EA status and you

There are many reasons for participating in the new Eager Zebra games(s).

It is entertaining and simple to play:
In the first game TimeMachine, all you have to do is predict the answer to a coming event. You can play each day for the duration of the game. You can have fun and win more Tcredits.

The cost is minimal:
Each game is just 1 TCredit to play! No purchase necessary to play or win. That makes it accessible to any affiliate, regardless of their status, level

Try to build a downline based on quality affiliates rather than qunatity. Those leaders who build quality downline are to be admired for their persistence and creativity and quickly achieve Platinum Leadership. For one thing, they may be more aggressive advertising gurus than we are. They focus on getting the word out to everyone and everywhere they can think of.

Their aggression is in advertising daily both on free advertising sites and on paid advertising sites. This can be done both

I think that this would depend on the measure of trust and communication that exists between both individuals. In all relationships it is important to be honest. If you are the head of the home, the ultimate decision lies with you.

However, it would be respectful, loving and courteous if you would include your partner in whatever you are undertaking. This is crucial since whatever decision you make could affect the future finances of the home – whether it be a loss or gain.

I am actually encouraged when affiliates ask questions. That shows interest. However, some affiliates ask a mountain of questions about how much money they will make before they show any signs of being serious about the business. There are ways of counteracting such attitude.

On encountering the first question briefly explain the SFI ‘getting started’ material with him/her. Guide him through if you can and whet his appetite. This usually brings a measure of excitement

We receive CSAs either as rewards or through winnings via the auction. Whatever way we received them they now belong to us and therefore cannot be ignored. We do not know the reasons why they are inactive. However, circumstances change and it has been my experience that some CSAs suddenly become active and continue to soar to the top. Therefore we must continue to encourage them. The challenge will be to find a way to get them working.

It may be necessary to contact each

In SFI everyone participates in the same training program, the same tools are provided for each affiliate and there is no limit to the level of income one can make. Therefore, all hard working affiliates are equally well positioned to reap tremendous benefits of the SFI business. There is no partiality.

Since everyone has the same opportunity, it's really up to you, and how much effort yu put into your business. That will determine what your outcome will be at the end of each month.
