To know when you are in such a position, the following are things you must take into account.

You know it is time to upgrade from EA to Team Leader,

1. When you have an active downline.
2. Your downline is at least 6 levels deep.
3. You have at least 5 active PSAs in your 1st level.

Honestly, i hardly know what you mean by "convince" our PSAs to become TripleClicks and WAVE 3 members. This is because, if you encourage your PSAs to go through their launchpads diligently as required by SFI, in my opinion, they do not need any further convincing to join TripleClicks and WAVE 3. SFI has already done the convincing for you.

Quite frankly, SFI is such a complete and participant-friendly business that anyone who does what the business requires of them and is desirous to succeed and make money in the business, belonging to TripleClicks and WAVE 3 are simply logical requirements. What sponsors really need to do is to encourage their PSAs to follow the rules of SFI and to do the business as SFI recommends and elaborately teaches.

If PSAs follow the rules and the lessons as expected, they do not need any further convincing to become members of TripleClicks and WAVE 3. That frankly is my take on this issue.

Even if you are already an affiliate, becoming an ECA, (E-commerce Associate) opens a brand new vista in SFI business. It is a different ball game when you become an ECA. This is because you will not now only be a buyer at TripleClicks, you are also a seller too. That means you will have to open your store to different customers with different backgrounds and preferences. In your first month as a new ECA, the following tips come in very handy:

A. WHAT TO DO.

1. Set up your shop properly to meet SFI requirements.
2. Design and use on the site a very attractive logo.
3. Notify your downline and a2a friends about your store.
4. Design your products pricing to be very competitive.
5. Display your products seductively.
6. Give vivid background description/benefits of each product you are displaying.
7. Ensure that your contact and feedback fixtures on the site work as expected.
8. Promote your store very aggressively.
9. Respond quickly to any orders you may receive.
10. Ask buyers for a feedback about the products you supply.
11. Give discounts and or bonuses where convenient.

B. WHAT NOT TO DO.

1. Do not set your prices ridiculously too low or too high.
2. Do not de-market any other ECA.
3. Do not advertise any products you do not have in stock.
4. Do not compel your a2a friends and your downline to patronize your store.
5. Do not delay any orders you may receive.
6. Do not fail to ask for a feedback about the products you supply.
7. Do not unduly hype up any product you are selling.
8. Do not leave your store unattended for too long.
9. Do not fail to respond very promptly to ALL inquiries about your store.
10. Do not fail to give guarantees/warranties about the products you are selling.

I believe you can succeed in SFI with or without your own private Website or Blog. You can succeed without them but you will succeed faster and better if you have them. This is because SFI business is largely an online marketing business which thrives on web traffic. The more web traffic you have, the higher your chances of making sales. That is where your own website and blog come in very handy.

If your website and blog enjoy a very good ranking with Search Engines, the sites will get better exposure and traffic. Here is how that helps your business to succeed.

1. You can hyperlink your SFI and TripleClicks Gateways to the contents of your website and blog.
2. You can promote your business with banners on your website/blog all hyper-linked to your Gateways.
3. If your website/blog contents are fresh, interesting, educating, entertaining and informative, they will attract more web visitors who may click on your messages on the site and be redirected via your Gateways to your stores for possible patronage.
4. You can promote your business in your website/blog as you wish without the fear of censorship.
5. The more popular your website/blog is, the more traffic it attracts.
6. Running your own website/blog commands a lot of respect in online marketing business.
7. It is a mark of real professionalism for you to run your own website/blog in online marketing business.

However, let me remind you that it takes hard work and a very good and workable knowledge of how the World Wide Web works for you to be able to run a successful website and blog. If you can not do what it takes to make them work for you, just go ahead with the methods which work for you. No doubt you are aware that buying, registering and maintaining your own domain costs money. Updating your website/blog requires that you have very good writing skills before you can even get noticed online. This is aside from SEO requirements for your site to rank high with Search Engines. Real hassles no doubt. Recognize that we are all different in our kills and capabilities so just do what fits your own skills even if you can not run a website/blog. You can still succeed in SFI all the same.

I hope this answer helps?

Now that you already have a large and active downline, all I can say is congratulations! What you need to do next is to recognize and build Team Leaders. Management gurus insist that hierarchical management is more effective than centralized management in modern times. For that reason, if as an SFI affiliate you have a large downline, the first thing to do is to recognize persons in your team who also have management potentials then cede powers to them and encourage them to deliver. That way, you will be effectively managing fewer persons but with better results. Specifically, you can do the following.

1. Recognize 5 persons in your downline who are very active and also have management potentials.

2. Encourage them to do same in their downline.

3. Ensure that decision goes down the line no matter how deep.

4. Deal effectively with these 5 persons directly and encourage same all down the line.

5. Encourage a two-way communication and help solve all teething problems as the top leader.

6. Be sure ALL your Team Leaders recognize that team efforts yield better results than individual efforts.

7. Lead by example always and be sure your Team Leaders do same.

8. Every authority goes with responsibility and be sure your Team Leaders recognize and respect that.

9. Give your Team Leaders all the tools to work and judge them with results.

10. Ensure this idea goes down the line.

With a large active downline, all you need now is Team Work for better achievement. That should be the guiding spirit in your quest to manage a large downline and be able to have your personal touch and imprimatur all the way down the line.

Best of luck in your management efforts!

The first question to ask here is why have your PSAs and CSAs stopped working? If they truly have, then something may be wrong with your sponsorship. The first point of call therefore is YOU. Find out what is wrong with the way you are supporting your affiliates then fix it. After that, you can then turn your attention to your individual affiliates to see how you can help them to commence working their SFI business real good.

Yes! It is absolutely true that you can be successful in SFI even if your PSAs and CSAs have stopped working. That is because if your PSAs and CSAs have stopped working, you will lose income from only ONE very vital income stream whereas you can still be earning money from at least THREE other income streams besides that one. That is the singular reason why you can still succeed in SFI even if your PSAs and CSAs have stopped working.

Having said all that, I am quick to add here that it is always best to earn income in SFI from ALL the available income sources. It is therefore not advisable to lay back and relax if your PSAs and CSAs are not working. Even though you can succeed without the income from that one source, you will succeed better if you are able to earn income from ALL the available sources including income from the activities of your PSAs and CSAs. That is why you must try to get your PSAs and CSAs back to work through resourceful and meaningful sponsorship if and when ever they stop working. That is the best advice I can give in the circumstance.

I do hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

I am happy you used the word “learn.” Yes indeed! That is what we are all doing in SFI on daily basis, simply learning the business day in day out. We can all learn to write adds if we do not want to use the free ads SFI has made available to all affiliates. Personally, I am not good at writing ads so I use SFI free ads. That is what I always recommend for others to use.

If however you want to learn to write your own ads, there are many places on the web you can learn about ads and how to write them. Just like me, even if you have no experience or have not written any ads before, you can still write effective ads using these sites and reading other ads written by others. There are ads you can read about on the web from some internet social websites, newspapers, magazines and even in SFI.

If you really want to write your own ads, be sure that the ads are catchy enough to attract your target audience. To be able to guarantee that, make sure your text ads contain one or more of the following words:

1. Fast
2. Guaranteed
3. Limited
4. Easy/Simple
5. Testimonial
6. Discount/Sales
7. Free
8. Important
9. You/Your
10. New

If you manage to design ads which have one or more of these words, the ads will be catchy enough to “arrest” your target audience. That is what matters not just designing ads for the sake of designing ads. Anyone can learn with practice to do it right. Good luck!!!

You can purchase business cards very cheaply at SFI TripleClicks stores. If however you are artistically inclined and you know something about printing, you can design and print your own cards. If you want to create business cards that will be effective in promoting SFI and TripleClicks, please consider the following:

1. All SFI logos/Cards/Colors/Texts have Patent Rights cover. Be sure you have the correct permits to produce them.
2. Be sure the cards tally with the standard size.
3. The color combination should also tally.
4. Messages/Texts should be pre-approved.
5. Be sure your SFI/TripleClicks Gateways are well inserted in the cards.
6. The cards must have your name, Affiliate ID Number, SFI rank, Telephone contact, email address, the URL of your Gateways, Websites, Blogs and ECA store.

From my own perspective, you may not require to go through all these hassles if you can simply purchase SFI business cards which can even be customized for you if you so wish.

Hope this answer helps. Best wishes.

I hardly know how to set apart lazy and unmotivated affiliates. I believe we all are to some degree. However, if you have affiliates you sincerely believe are lazy and unmotivated; I suggest you do the following:

1. Pay special attention to your communications with them.
2. Explore ways to “draw them out’ and get them to reveal to you why they are unmotivated.
3. Offer real incentives to them like TCredits and free slots in your co-operative.
4. Encourage them to freely communicate their problems to you.
5. Be sure they took the lessons at the LaunchPad.
6. Encourage them to join and be active at the forum.
7. Offer your hand of friendship to them.
8. Encourage them to read widely in SFI.
9. Implore them to take SFI tips and to use the free marketing tools provided.
10. Help them to promote their Gateways alongside yours.
11. Reassign some PSAs to them if you can afford to.
12. Encourage them to play the Trivia games and to join the fun in SFI.

I believe if you are able to do some or all the foregoing, some of your lazy affiliates may become active.

Good luck!!!
