It’s quite subjective here as individual preference will differ based on their needs. So there is no single best item while all the popular items are useful.

IAHBE
The IAHBE will come in very handy for those who are new in the internet business. Lots of good articles are there for you to kick-start your SFI business. The IAHBE is also good as a Standing Order for newbie who can focus on building up their SFI business while maintaining their EA2 rank. The IAHBE gives you 1500VPs

Why or why not should I promote Fast-Track 2.0 in my welcome letters to new affiliates? If yes, what wording should I add?

The Fast-Track program is for new affiliates who are motivated and wish to start building their SFI business right away. Since the program has a 10-day Fast-Track eligibility window, it should be promoted briefly in your welcome letter.

A short explanation of the program with a link will be sufficient.

A follow-up note via Team Mail is a good idea.

They should also be informed of the qualifications i.e. complete the five Fast-Track actions in the Getting Started section

Flyers are one of the most versatile and affordable types of promotion tools. The best places to post advertising flyers include:

High traffic areas such as on a college campus, telephone poles, and on activity boards at your local recreation center. You can also post flyers on cars in parking lots.

Mailing your flyers is another way to distribute them without worrying about any laws.

Shopping malls, grocery stalls, medical waiting rooms, laundromats and other businesses

At SFI you can earn passive income and this can be a substantial figure over time with some good effort put in on your part.

The SFI Compensation Plan can help to explain how to earn a substantial income with SFI.

Emphasize and explain to them the power of duplication and the multiple streams of income at SFI.

The Earnings Calculator is a good way to explain the potential to earn substantial income with SFI.

Go back to the basics. Read again START, SFI BASICS, and LAUNCHPAD. Learn, understand and apply them.

Read the topics on Marketing Methods and Marketing Aids. This will give you some insights on attraction new affiliates.

Start advertising on the free classifieds, social media etc. This has to be done relentlessly.

Set up a blog to promote SFI

As you receive sign-ups apply the ‘how to be an awesome sponsor’ concept.

Direct Mail is one way of contacting prospective ECAs. Create a mailing list of prospective ECAs and send them TC ECA brochures with your SFI ID number.

Telemarketing is another way to contact prospective ECAs. Local phone numbers can be obtained from Yellow Pages.

Going door to door to drop off ECA brochures is another way. In the process there could be some personal contacts to explain what is ECA about to the prospects.

I almost gave up on SFI. What did you do to keep pushing forward?

I believed that giving up is not the solution at SFI. SFI is one business where even a novice can excel because all the tools of the trade are provided for free. There is a wealth of knowledge at SFI website and the knowledge base provided is good enough to rise to the challenges. Investing a small sum to obtain EA status is good enough to propel you to greater heights.

Given that SFI is a good business, a sense of commitment prevails to keep me pushing forward to achieve my SFI goals.

Contests for downlines should be held from time to time and the benefits are as follows:

MOTIVATION
Contests provide the motivation to perform and achieve results. For example a contest can be organised to reach EA2 and those who have achieved EA2 cash prizes will be offered by their team leaders. This is a win win situation where contestants and Team Leaders benefit.

TEAM BUILDING
Contests provide avenues to build up your team. As a Team Leader you need a sizeable
