One of the best ways to promote PriceBenders auctions is the gift cards from SFI. You can tell others about the really great deals and the wonderful things people have won (this would include items you have won). Another really great way is by using the Share feature at the auctions. This really spreads excitement.
Of course, word of mouth is also a great way to share the excitement. I have done this, in combination with the gift cards. It's so much fun!
It may be that you find it more exciting to write blogs or advertise online at Websites. So that may be the best for you. You determine what works well. However, for me, the gift cards and face-to-face contact with others is the best.
Have an enjoyable time in your promotions!

What long-term goal(s) should an affiliate be setting for themselves?

That depends on the affiliates. Is the person in debt? Is the person wanting to improve standard of living? After checking the affiliate's profile, if it has been filled out, you may gain some insights. A person should set long-term goals of becoming a Team Leader, at each level, at whatever speed is desirable and there should be a challenge. I believe the Goals area really covers everything here. So be sure to encourage your affiliates to complete their goal setting at the beginning and also at the beginning of each month. Changes can be made at any time.
I hope this has been helpful.

Which is best, free or paid advertising?

I believe that it depends on your ability and your level of expertise and your time and money you are able to invest. However, here's my answer that applies to me.
For free advertising I just simply tell others about the business, whether talking to people on the phone or talking to people on the street or anywhere else. Face-to-face contacts can be really great!
For paid advertising, my best has been the advertising co-ops made available by SFI. I use S-Builder and also co-ops that other affiliates have created. I create my own co-ops, using the Co-Op Manager, and use the Key Codes for S-Builder or the Co-Ops to which I belong. That way, I can gain new affiliates and also reward my hard workers with shares.
Another way I use paid advertising is the gift cards. This is really a combo of paid and free advertising. It's free to walk the streets. You pay to get the gift cards. You also pay at restaurants or other places where you use services and you give out these cards. The real beauty of this is that you can tell people about TripleClicks and PriceBenders and about SFI with such excitement that they will want to join. I even mail gift cards to friends or family members (so, of course, this is a form of paid advertising).
Again, it's all in what you are able to invest in time and money and what your skills and your abilities are as to which direction you go with this. Be imaginative and run with whatever you choose. There's always room to move and change as you work and see if something works or not.
I hope this answer proves to be helpful in your quest to heights in SFI.

Which is best for me to participate in...W3 or S-Builder Co-op?

This answer depends on what you are able to do. Both of these are excellent. If you have a car or have someone who drives who will help yu to promote your business, Wave3 is the ticket! If you have funds to invest in a Standing Order (SO), the S-Builder Co-Op is the ticket! Using both is wonderful and has great rewards! S-Builder helps you build your team of affiliates and your customer base. Wave3 helps you gain TripleClicks members and new affiliates as well. If you can do both, go for it!

What's the best way to advertise the TCards to motivate prospective PRM's to play Eager Zebra games?

You can post ads at blogs or in your email signature or give out flyers or hand out gift cards to people and tell them about the online games.
I would find out if people like to play online games if you talk to them face to face. Tell them about some of the exciting prizes that have been won and for how much. If you have won in a game yourself, tell them. The more excited you are, the more this will spread.
Which marketing methods should we be recommending to our new PSAs?

This really depends on the affiliate. If he/she is not experienced in advertising or marketing of any kind, then the beginner marketing area is the best. If a person is more experienced, then all of the areas should be studied. The best way, I think, would be for the affiliates to read the marketing materials, as assigned at the VP Ledger. Guide the affiliates if they need help, but let them decide how to do their marketing, as long as the rules are followed.
Is it better to build a team within your own spoken language and environment...or go beyond these boundaries ?

Since SFI is a worldwide business, it's better to branch out and gain affiliates from all countries. This means:
1. You can communicate with people from many different backgrounds, cultures, language groups and families. This makes it very exciting!
2. Time is not a problem (that is, time zones), because this is an on-line business that works 24/7 and keeps going, even when we sleep.
3. Economic status is not a factor, because we are here to help those who really want to improve their standard of living or for whatever reason they join.
4. As long as a person is willing to work this business, failure cannot happen. As long as you don't give up, you cannot fail.
5. This is an opportunity to build friendships with people from all over the world and learn about their countries and how they live.
6. It is an opportunity to become a Team Leader, to sponsor affiliates, to gain TripleClicks members (customers), to make sales, and to help those in need by giving support and teaching your affiliates/members how to navigate the system and to become leaders or purchase items in our special worldwide store!
7. It is an opportunity to get other businesses from all over the world to join us as ECAs (E-Commerce Associates) and to support everyone in SFI/TripleClicks.
There's so much to gain by having a broad base of affiliates from around the world. Take advantage of it!

What are the best methods for distributing TCards to the public and getting results?

I find that the best methods for handing out gift cards to people and getting results are as follows.
I give them out in tips at restaurants and thank the waitress for great services rendered.
Often I talk to people on the street or in public transportation and ask them if they use the Internet. If they answer, "Yes," then I explain that nearly everyone enjoys receiving a gift and introduce TripleClicks to them and hand out gift cards. I explain to them how the cards work and talk about the auctions and the really cool products they can purchase. The Holidays are coming up soon, so I tell them that they cand find something nice to give as gifts.
Those are the best ways I have found to give out gift cards, although one way I have also found is to send them in a card or letter to friends and family and explain how they work and persuade them to redeem the cards.
Use your imagination and try out different ways to distribute gift cards to people and see how this works for you.

What's the best TripleClicks product to have for a Standing Order for a financially challenged affiliate?

I believe there are three really best choices. An affiliate who is financially challenged could use one or a combination of these.
1. IAHBE membership. The really great thing about this is that there's a lot of information that can help a person's business grow. If you love to read, this might be for you.
2. S-Builder Co-Op Share. This helps an affiliate advertise the business. This begins to bring in affiliates. An affiliate can create his/her own co-op with the same Key Code and reward affiliates for good effort in the business with affiliates or shares of affiliates this way.
3. Package of 125 TCredits. TCredits can be used for just about anything. Use them to reward affiliates, sell them to customers, offer them for free to customers, use them at PriceBenders Auctions (and gain up to 500 VP per month when bidding and earn 5 or 10 MRP, depending on the auction. Items can be purchased using TCredits as well. It's fun to use your imagination and see what you can do with them.
When I started SFI, we did not have all these choices. I started with IAHBE membership and still have it. Later, I learned about the co-op. For a long time, that's all I used. By keeping a Standing Order (SO) each month, I have been able to grow my business so I can have a larger SO, with a multiple number of items I share with others outside the business and use myself. It is hoped that as time goes on, more will be added to my SO.
I really hope this helps you with your business and those of your affiliates on your team.

It really doesn't matter whether your affiliates are CSAs or PSAs. It doesn't matter if they are active or inactive. You treat them the same. Communicate with them at least once per week, just as you do your entire team. Keep encouraging them. You never know what people will do. Work with the workers, but don't leave the others out of the loop. They may just see the value of SFI and TripleClicks. They have one year to prove they are interested, unless they decide to opt out.
Always let your team know you are there for them and you are willing to help if they just ask. Just keep the lines of communication open and learn as much as you can and share what you have learned. When people see how you are doing and see your badges, some of them will duplicate your efforts.
