Your advertising should always be a work in progress. As such, it will need to be checked for progress routinely, adjusted as needed for better results.

Be sure to use keycodes with your advertising so you can tell which ads/sites are producing the best results for you.

Create new ads if necessary, try new ad sites or physical locations. Create blogs, your own domain, etc., then advertise them on the social media sites. By advertising them on social media, you can send interested

My suggestion is to spend your first month learning as much as you can; become Fast Tracker within first 10 days, including buying as many NewMemberPacks as you can afford (some of the benefits of this pack are for your whole lifetime as an SFI member!!). Also, set up a Standing Order as soon as possible that carries 1500VP. SO will also gain you an additional 100AVPs for having it!

When you become a Fast Tracker member, fulfilling all the requirements, you will become EA2 immediately.

Should I stick strictly to using SFI's system or would it benefit me to add some of my own touches and strategies?

I would say that in the using of SFI's system there are a number of ways to sort of personalize your message, most notably in blogs and advertising.

It is recommended, initially at least, to use SFI's ads as written. The more comfortable and confident you become, the better you might be able to "tweak and tune" the verbiage to more suit yourself, and your own style.

For the most part, though, I would recommend to remember "if it is not broken, do not try to fix

Be the best help and support to your downline (PSA & CSA alike) you can be!:) That is your main job, help them to succeed so you will as well.

Learn everything you can about how all of SFI and TripleClicks works, to maximize all the benefits this Company has to offer. Find out how/where to look for answers to the questions new affiliates have. All these things, plus maintaining your TL status along the way, will make you an excellent Sponsor.

Right off the bat, you will get 100AVP for having a Standing Order of at least 1500VP. (This will earn you EA (or 2) so you can concentrate on balance of VPs for BTL.) However much over 1500 your SO is, up to 2000 max SalesVP, you will need that much less to reach Bronze TL (or higher, whichever).

So - you can acquire up to 2000 SVP during the month. That leaves AT LEAST 1000 more needed to reach a TL status. I'm sure you're aware of the VPs available daily from clearing red tabs on

Explain to them that they need to plan their schedule to allow for at least 2 hours for SFI on their work days, as much time as they can on non-working days. That way they can do the Affiliate page dailies, and study LaunchPads, etc., on non-working days.

It may take them a little longer to reach their goals, but it can be done if they stick to their plan.

Tell them to have patience with themselves, remind them that steady activity will get the job done.

Of SFI's available marketing aids, which are the best to use?

I think it depends totally on personal preference and expertise.

There are so many from which to choose, it would be hard to say only one is the best.

Different aids will work better for different products, different regions, etc., my best suggestion is to try any or all that attract you personally. Learn by using which ones seem to be more effective for you.

Happy advertising, wish you success with all the ways you choose:))...

If persons I sponsor advance in SFI faster than I do, should I continue to try to train and support them?

Absolutely!! You have helped them get where they are, why would you stop?!? Just because they may have advanced faster does not necessarily mean they will not continue to need and appreciate your help, training, and most of all, your encouraging support!

Never stop supporting your downlines, they are your bread and butter. Besides, you may learn things from them as well. Trust your instincts, keep leading, learning, earning -- which is best done by helping others, yes?

You can set a Standing Order of 125 TCredits Pack for $36.25. An additional $22 will add a unit of SBuilder Coop for PSAs that will come in (starting 4-6 weeks after first order) slowly, approximately 6-8/month. This $58.25 would be my minimum suggestion for an initial budget.

As you learn more about SFI/TripleClicks, you will learn about advertising, recruiting, games, etc. Most of your advertising can be done for free, or small amounts of money. Recruiting can also have minimal costs,

Depending on your advertising skill level (if you have warm market available, or can do face to face selling of SFI, or physical, hands-on kinds of things), you can handle your advertising by using all the free places on internet, including all the social media sites (FB, twitter, etc.), free blogs, flyers with tear-off tabs (use your home printer to make copies from SFI) posted locally... any thing you can do for free will obviously be minimal costs.

Next level would be at least 1 unit
