The content of a weekly newsletter is dynamic, depending on the circumstance. Like I have opined severally, this business is very dynamic and in most cases, you determine what you want to do after you have logged into your homepage. Personally, I have prepared several topics covering various areas of this business; from encouraging inactive team members, reg flagged members of my downline, getting more VP, strategies to earn income, to ways you can hit it right away as a newbie, best recruitment and sales methods etc.

However, in some instances when I predetermine the newsletter to send, I often find out after logging in that something new just came up that needs to be drafted as a newsletter, so the plan changes. An example is the current attack at SFI/TC, making me to change plan to draft an unexpected content as the current newsletter, in order to guide my downline on how to navigate the problem so as to mitigate the damage it may cause to their respective SFI/TC businesses.

Having said this, to be able to come up with good content you get to be knowledgeable on matters relating to this business and how to communicate it effectively. Again since weekly news letters cannot be directed at a specific member, so on a general note you may:

1. Go through several literature in SFI site and you may just copy some that reflect the topic you want. Examples are marketing and sponsoring methods or how to prospect for ECAs.

2. You may also use some of your upline communication or your sponsor's, that is if your sponsor does not go beyond his Gen 1 in his weekly newsletter distribution to avoid duplication.

3. You can also get content at SFI news here: http://news.sfimg.com/ and TC blog here: http://news.tripleclicks.com/

4. The Forum and Ask SC provide very valuable resources that can be tapped for content, so you may need to search through them to extract what suits your message.

5. Also check for powerful ideas for weekly newsletters here: https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/sampleMessages

There is hardly a topic you want to address in your news letter that is not already here , so do a lot of research here and other online resources to come up with good, appropriate and effective content for you weekly newsletters.

Which is better is relative to individual affiliate, so I will discuss this under some headings:

1. Quantity of signups- In case of the S-Builder (SB), it is usually between 4-10 signups which means it is indeterminate and there is no guarantee of the quantity you will receive. On the other hand, the PSA To Go (PTG) guarantees that you receive the number of signups you paid for. Also in the case of SB the more months you participate successively, the more signups you will receive ( between 4-10) and it usually takes the first or second supply to break across the middle (above 5) and a longer time for more. I personally participated in SB for about 6 months but the highest received was 7. As you can see for the sake of planning and setting your objectives, the PTG trumps the SB because what you see is what you get.

2. Delivery time- Typically you will start receiving SB sign-ups within three to four weeks from the end of the month in which you bought your S-Builder units, while the PTG is supplied with 5 days. So if you are the type that prefer your signups to arrive within a very short period and in bigger batches then PTG has an advantage, if not SB is your preferred option. Personally I prefer to receive my signups sooner than later because; I will use almost the same effort to put them through the system in their preliminary stages, the source of supply will be easy to remember and finally I will be able to decide earlier if my objectives in terms of the number of PSAs needed are met and the earlier you can make this decision the earlier it is to change course if necessary; remember delay may be dangerous.

3. Cost- Some have been of the opinion that both products cost the same, while other have opined that the SB or PTG is cheaper. However, receiving between 4 and 10 signups with the SB at a constant price of $22 means it is financially more convenient on the short run and less costly than the PTG on the long run when you hit 10 signups for $22 as against $39 for 10 signups in case of PTG. As you can see, the SB may be more attractive to affiliates who are not financially buoyant enough, provided there is a willingness to trade off the initial small quantity and the time delay for this financial convenience.

4. Co-op Manager- Personally I think it is better to employ PTG as the source of signups for your co-op where your PSAs are participants. This is because assignment of signups to the participant will be more regular and timely. Also, it will be convenient to use the 'share' option as you can guarantee the number of signups per participants.

Please note that in case of the quality of signups, it is purely a game of numbers as far as both products are concerned, but again I suppose the SB is TC direct product while the PTG is supplied by a third party.

Local and personal promotion is not a bad idea depending on who you are and what you want to achieve. When you localize you may want to take advantage of a niche market which you are aware of and probably have come to understand the local ways to capture such a niche market by approaching it in an understandably local way.

Again, if you are knew in this type of business or lack the requisite knowledge, you may be better to start on a local basis in order to take advantage of part of your warm market by approaching friends, colleagues and relatives, including businesses in your locality, in order to sign them as affiliates, TC members or ECAs. The responses and result you get as a result may encourage you to try a larger geographic audience while you acquire experience and build self confidence. Face-to-face canvassing is a very powerful promotion method which will not be taking advantage of it you go global via the internet, but it does not mean it does not have its benefits.

On a global level, the internet has reduced the world to a smaller place and one of the major advantage is that the larger audience you target, the more possibility to get more prospects converted, but this does not mean they are going to be active. One of the reasons they may not be active is because you are unable to determine their profile to know what suits and fits that particular type of audience, so you may be targeting the wrong people, unless of course you are an experience marketer with some financial resources to flex your muscle.

Having said, my advice is to mix it up where necessary using both depending on the type of promotion you want to engage in and the sophistication involved.

The New Member Pack (NMP) can be taking advantage of within the first 10 days of membership of SFI, so you need to let your new team members aware not precisely of the NMP, but the Fast Track 2.0 in general. This is because the NMP is not compulsory to become a Fast Track member, but only necessary if you are unable to make it by other means.

Note that your new PSA will also be notified of this by SFI direct communication, so be mindful of too much repetition not to put your new PSA off. However, it will not be out of place to talk about it but most importantly, just mention qualification #2 '2. Generate a minimum of $20 USD in sales and/or purchases within your first 10 days in SFI. Choose from over 90,000 products available at TripleClicks.' so this is where you may bring in the NMP and let him know he does not need to if he does not want to. Further more, let him know what he stands to gain if he chooses to and what he stands to loose if he chooses not to.

Encourage duplication of this process in order to improve the growth of your business via direct commission and VP match if you are a team leader.

You are supposed to use different strategy in promoting SFI to those without experience in online business, but in most cases it is difficult to know, unless you are doing face-to-face promotion or email prospecting. However, you need to device a general promotion strategy to target such people and see how you can incorporate some of the suggestions below:

1. You really need to emphasise the benefits of an online business, especially how SFI makes a difference.

2. Tell how successful you or others have been in SFI, using testimonials where appropriate.

3. Let your prospects know they do not need to abandon what they are currently doing but just to add this as another opportunity to earn income.

4. Important also to let your prospect know that there is nothing to lose if it is not a business for him/her and there is an option to opt-out afterwards.

5. Necessary to reassure your prospects that they will not be alone, but that free training is provided and there are other online helpful resources where they can seek assistance and guidance, including you who will be his sponsor.

8. You may need to organise a lecture, webinar or events to prepare your prospect in advance before you introduce them to SFI.

Those with no online business experience may prove to be a little hesitant to join but with a convincing strategy and determined efforts, some will ultimately want to give it a go.

Eager Zebra is the name of our game division at TripleClicks and since all our games are developed and built under our Eager Zebra banner, all you need do may be to promote the banner online.

There is a huge and still growing online game market you can tap into and make a huge income. This is because a report; “2013 State of Online Gaming Report,” found that 44 percent of the world’s online population are gamers. Also experts have estimated that over one billion people play online games on regular basis around the world, with more than 100 million playing every day, so it is worth attrcating this segment, but how?

1. The first place to start may just be to encourage your Personal Referred Affiliates (PRM) to participate in the games by listing the benefits like winning Tcredits which have numerous uses at TripleClicks (TC) and more.

2. Another way to get people interested is to do targeted promotion, that is promoting each Eagle Zebra game to particular online audience that has interest in such game, instead of putting all out there. Remember that a 'catch' attracts interest, so always emphasize the benefits in order to increase your chances of conversion or you may also be offering free game tokens to play any game when available.

3. Physically visit businesses where games and gambling take place and promote EZ to participants, but ensure you participate in the game also and not just go into the business and start promoting EZ. These category of prospects are already gamers, so all you need is to make them understand they can do the same from the comfort of their homes.

4. It is very important to not just promote the game, but to also promote the reputation of SFI, with testimony of affiliates and Eagle Zebra games participants.

Just stay focused and explore the world of online and offline gamers, TC will accommodate them all.

Relying on your sponsor depends on who you are, what you want and how you want it. On the other hand, it also depends on who your sponsor is, what he can offer in terms of support and assistance and his/her willingness and capacity to offer what he/she can offer. There is nothing too much or too little to rely on your sponsor in as much as you are not relying on him/her to do for you what you can do for yourself or to work your business for you.

As you can see, your reliance on your sponsor will depend on your experience and your learning curve; lack of experience will increase your reliance on your sponsor and similarly, a slow learning curve will also increase your reliance, otherwise it will be reduced. It is also the case that as you rely on your sponsor to be successful in your SFI business, so also your sponsor relies on you for his/her success. This means reliance is mutual and the benefits there from are also mutual, however, the type and nature of reliance differ with both of you.

As a newbie, you may want to rely on your sponsor as follows;

1. To simplify the SFI business model to your understanding and guide you as you navigate through the nitty-gritty of this business; supporting and assisting you to get up to speed with the process.

2. You may also rely on your sponsor to guide you to various ways you can obtain various information that will enable you make appropriate decisions going forward, including alternative and appropriate places to get support.

3. You may also rely on your sponsor to lay out the income generating activities that are required for your engagement in order to develop an understanding on how to make money here, which is why you joined.

As your sponsor may have reciprocated your reliance on him/her in the steps above, the onus may now be on you to determine whether you can apply what you have gained from your reliance on him/her to develop your business and if you still lack some idea on how to proceed, then you may continue to rely on your sponsor on how to:

1. Stabilise your business by guiding you on the alternative ways to maintain your EA status on a continuing basis.

2. You may also rely on your sponsor on the technical details of how and where to advertise for SFI signups, TC members/sales, ECA signups and may be SFIPPA, drawing your attention to the benefits on each of them.

3. You may need to rely on him/her for encouragement, motivation and recognition of your efforts. This is important in situations where you are overwhelmed, depressed, unhappy and confused, especially when the 'lubricant' of your patience and dedication is running dry.

At this stage, you may think you have worked hard enough to be seeing success and unfortunately, you are of the opinion that your success is not commensurate with your perceived level of success then you may rely on your sponsor again for the following:

1. Help you with modern and alternative ways you may need to apply to tweak your business strategy to improve the chances of success in your SFI business. In this regard, you are relying on his/her experience and the power of his/her example (duplication). What is he/she doing currently that is different from before? What are his/her team building and restructuring strategies for a more effective and productive team? What are the new promotion, communication, sales and marketing tools that are working better, he/she is aware of and applying to his/her business?

2. You may also need advice on cost saving strategies if you feel you are overstretching your budget. You may as a consequence, rely on your sponsor to guide you on cheaper sources of signups e.g. co-opting, website traffic, blogging, Search Engine Optimisation, social network marketing, face-to-face prospecting etc.

3. You may rely on your sponsor also to help you build relationships and contacts that are pertinent to building a more successful business. You may be lucky to have an experience sponsor who has valuable networks in the online marketing business that will be very useful to you as you strive to build a successful SFI business, but be alert to cross solicitation and if you smell a rat, discontinue.

To wrap it up, you have to bear in mind that your sponsor is human and may not have all the attributes and capacity to attract your reliance on him/her, so you need to also make serious efforts to help yourself by hard work and developing an appetite to learn by reading and understanding. This is very important in this business and according to Jim Rohn "Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune." You are supposed to make your business a success and not necessarily your sponsor, his/her support is only complementary because you don't wait for someone else to make your life terrific. That's your job.

There are some measures with which you determine if you posses the requisite capabilities to be successful in a business like SFI; determination, persistence, hard work and team work.


Determination

You have to believe in yourself that you are here to succeed, so if you have this at the back of your mind then you will be inclined to make do with all available resources to grow your business, otherwise, this kind of business may not be for you. You should have enough time to attend to business and be willing to take necessary and appropriate risks.


Persistence

You need to be a persistence person in this kind of business because it will certainly throw many curve balls which may result in frustration and de-motivation to forge ahead. However, if you are the type who can weather the storm and continue to put efforts and throw everything at it to reverse these, then you know there is a possibility to see light at the end of the tunnel. This also means that even when you are down, do not give up because quitters do not win and winners do not quit. So if you have the ability then you have a chance here to succeed.


Smart work

Some may talk about hard work which is not a useless capability but hard work alone is not a silver bullet to achieving success. You therefore need to be smart by using quality time and resources to achieve success. In this regard, smart work also requires setting strategic mission and objectives, plans and actionable goals, courageously executing them by making the best use of available resources and technology in both SFI and outside of SFI.

As part of smart working, you should be able to understand where you fall short and take adequate steps to improve by exhibiting a willingness to learn from past mistakes. Again you should be able to evaluate your progress by comparing result to stated objectives and where there are negative deviations, you should not be weakened by them but instead recalibrate your strategy to meet those challenges.


Business mindset

You have to see yourself as a business person rather than an employee of SFI. Developing an entrepreneurial mindset is concurrent with self determination and financial freedom as far as SFI business is concern. As an entrepreneur you have to show interest in understanding your business environment and be courageous to take responsibility for success or failure because shifting culpability to the wrong place does not encourage self reflection.


Team work

You have to be a good leader and a team worker because team building is an indispensable aspect of building a successful SFI business, so leadership by example is highly needed in this regard.

In conclusion, I will encourage you to assess yourself based on some or all of the above and if you have the wherewithal, then you have an incredible opportunity in building a successful business here. SO GO CONQUER!!

All the actions necessary to earn VP are contained in your To-Do-List or VP Ledger and all of them are important one way or the other to attain your stated objectives. However, objectives differ with individuals and how important a particular action is depends actually on the objectives of each member of your downline as far as earning VP is concerned.

For example, a team member who wants to concentrate on sales will need to focus on a different set of actions to earn the necessary VP from another who wants to develop an active team. Now the issue will be if one of these 2 areas is more important in building a more sustainable and a more successful business in SFI; I think it is important to focus on both, but since your question specifically asks for the action to recommend I will vouch for team building (Team Leadership and Support) VP for the following reasons:

1. Team building is very encompassing because it tends to cover other areas from which you can earn additional VP like when some of your team members purchase products from TC, when they join the ECA program etc

2. Team members are more likely to engage in consistent and repeated actions therefore ensuring the continuous flow of VP into your account.

3. It is more sustainable to benefit from an active team because it is an inevitable part of building a successful business because of the potential to earn residual income as a result.

4. You may also earn VP match as a result of your pursuit of team support VP

Now let me demonstrate the overall benefits of team Support VP as follows:

You have the potential to earn unlimited VP from team support + VP from their purchases + VP when they become ECAs + VP Match (includes Fast Track Bonus) + Direct Commission + Co-sponsor Commission + ECA royalties + EZ game matching prizes etc

Note also that VP match can be earned up to generation 12 in the case of your PSAs.

Now, if you compare these benefits to say, the benefits of recommending one of sales VP, ECA VP or any other VP action for that matter, you get far less benefits. For example, only 2 benefits each from sales (Direct commission + VP) and ECA (Royalties + referral VP).

You can see why I recommend Team Leadership and Support VP to my downline if I have to choose one as you requested. This will not only give the benefits mentioned above, it will also be a motivation for advancement and the appetite to aim higher, by working harder, in order to earn higher.

Getting your PSAs up to speed without overwhelming them is a little tricky because individuals differ; some 'collapse' under pressure, some are fast learners while others are slow, some manage well under pressure and yet some are amenable to any circumstance. You therefore need to carry out a delicate balancing act, so that every individual works at his/her own pace and below are my suggestions:

1. Let them know the benefits of carrying out certain actions and the consequences of not. For example encourage them to learn and train themselves by going through the training material but add that they need to go through at their own pace and understanding, but that failure to have a fair grasp of this business at this stage may have an adverse effect in building their business in the future..

2. Let them know certain actions they need to carryout and certain activities they need to be engaged in. Highlight the benefits they stand to derive now and in the future, including the likely consequences that will result from failure to act on them like the E365 contest, Fast Track etc.
Mention the fact that these actions have deadlines and time limits which they may not be able to avail of once they lapse.

3. Avoid bombarding them with numerous messages with very lengthy contents, be as precise as possible and ensure there is good value in such messages. Highlight those areas they need to concentrate on, to make EA status in their first month and let them know straight away, the benefits of EA.

4. Let them make the decisions themselves after you have highlighted the benefits of taking action and the consequences of not, unless your assistance is require or where you want to intervene in very compelling circumstance.

As you can see from the above, you have initiated learning and training, encouraged action, identified benefits and highlighted disadvantages of inaction, so the ball is now in the court of your PSAs to reciprocate by seizing the opportunity presented.
