The first thing you do is to own up to them that you are in SFI business to make money and that anyone can make substantial income in SFI if they follow the rules and take positive actions to make money. Just tell them what you do in SFI to earn income and show them the numbers. It is fairly easy to convince someone about the POTENTIAL income-earning capacity of SFI business. That is where to begin.

Tell them that SFI business is all about earning VersaPoints for all the required actions you take and earning commissions for all the sales generated at TripleClicks through your direct efforts and the efforts of ALL your affiliates. Once again, show them the numbers and tell them how the numbers stack up to substantial income monthly.

Tell them that all SFI affiliates can earn income in 4 distinct ways as follows:

1. They start earning money by accumulating VersaPoints. Each action they complete at SFI To-Do List earns the affiliate VersaPoints. The more VersaPoints they earn, the more the money they make.

2. They increase their earnings by generating sales at TripleClicks.com. Affiliates earn up to 45% commission on sales they generate directly at TripleClicks and these commissions stack up very quickly depending on how fast you and your affiliates generate sales.

3. They maximize their income with sponsoring and duplication. When an affiliate sponsors another affiliate, that person becomes their customer for life. If any affiliate becomes a Team Leader, depending on the level of leadership, they can earn income from the activities of all their affiliates up to 12 generations down the line. This is simply an awesome income earning potential.

4. They add supplemental income streams. This is optional and you can earn three additional income streams from (a) Co-sponsor affiliates, 15% commission on all their purchases, (b) Referring E-commerce associates, ECAs to TripleClicks, 10% commission on all their sales, and (c) SFI’s Pay-Per-Action program where you can earn up to $12 per action.

Just check out the numbers and see how they stack up over time. The more actions you are able to take, the more the money you can make. If you are able to patiently explain these income-earning potentials to someone, it is fairly easy to convince them that they can earn substantial income with SFI.

Hope this answers your question?

My straight answer to this question is BOTH. A regular website and a blog when properly used are very effective channels for advertising SFI business online. This is because both regularly attract online traffic in form of “hits” which every online marketer badly needs to expose the “wares” he/she is marketing online. The higher the traffic, the higher the chances of hits, conversions and sales! Sometimes, you can even combine both by hosting your blog in your website.

However, what really matters here is the volume of traffic either the regular website or the blog attracts. You can use Google Hits Tracking Tools to detect accurately how many unique visitors come to your site hourly/daily. If it is your website or your blog which manages to attract more traffic, that should be preferable to the other. That is the one which can be classified as “most effective” for advertising SFI in line with the demands of your question.

If however you are hosting your blog in your website, it is like using one stone to kill two birds. The regular blog posts on the site can help to keep the contents fresh to the delight of Search Engines. If the Engines rank your site very highly, it helps with higher traffic volume which is very good for your advertising. You can also hyperlink very unique terms and phrases in your content which lead to your SFI Gateways and TripleClicks shop. That is another very effective way to advertise SFI business online.

Hope this answer helps?

In written communication, what matters most is for the message to get to the recipient(s) quickly and intact. For this reason, any time, any day, the PSA Mailer is more preferable as a channel of communication with PSAs than directly via email address because of the following reasons.

1. The message is guaranteed to be delivered.
2. The message is delivered intact and as sent.
3. The message does not risk “failure to deliver.”
4. PSA Mailer is free, easy to use and not cumbersome.
5. The message is delivered to all your PSAs at once irrespective of the number.
6. PSA Mailer is available to use free by all affiliates.
7. It does not risk ending in spam folder.
8. It offers the recipient(s) “opt-out” options.
9. The identity of the sender is very clear.
10. The recipients have no idea who else the message was sent to.
11. It respects the privacy of each recipient.
12. Above all, it is highly recommended by SFI.

From the foregoing, it is easy to discern that in SFI, using the PSA Mailer to communicate downline with your PSAs is better than using direct email.

Good luck !!!

I will say right away that you can communicate with your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor as often as the need arises. There is no Sponsor in SFI worth his salt who will feel bothered by inquiries from her PSAs or CSAs. Instead, it is communications down-line that may bother some affiliates particularly if they are new to the business and the messages are too frequent. Communications up-line can not bother Sponsors and Co-sponsors because they are more experienced in the business and they have an inescapable responsibility to sponsor and mentor their PSAs and CSAs. That responsibility comes with a lot of communication since affiliates in SFI can be located anywhere in the world.

Frequent communications up-line are a direct indication that the affiliate down-line is curious about the business and wishes to learn quickly. A good Sponsor latches on to this sign to help the affiliate out as often as an inquiry comes up to the Sponsor. This is bearing in mind the enormous importance of active affiliates to the growth and development of even the businesses of Sponsors and Co-Sponsors themselves. My friend, my best advice therefore is that you can communicate with your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor with any convenient and acceptable means of communication as often as you want if your inquiries directly relate to learning and growing your business in SFI. I hope this helps to answer your question. Best wishes.

What makes criticism constructive is the style. If I were you, I will refrain from ALL forms of criticisms of my downline whether constructive, positive or otherwise. The best you owe your downline is advice and that too must be very subtle when given.

Remember that your downline is made up of individual and independent business persons whose temperaments you may not know intimately. For that reason, whatever you may have intended to achieve by your so-called emails constructive criticisms may at times backfire with very negative results. In addition to that, many people do not like criticism anyway, no matter how positive and constructive. Try to avoid a situation where some members of your downline may actually be asking “who the hell does this guy/gal think he/she is?”

My best advice therefore is to avoid criticism all together. Restrict your interaction with your downline to purely advisory role. Simple!

Good luck!!!

Hi Stanislava,

My advice to SFI affiliates who want to introduce any SFI program to their down-lines is and has always been to lead by example. That is the best way to earn credibility in the eyes of the affiliates you are sponsoring.

Arising from that, to introduce S-Builder Co-op to your affiliates, you must not only know all there is to know about the Co-op, you must have bought into it yourself and have actually started to see the benefits live. That way, using your Leadership page, you can refer your affiliates to also take advantage of the Co-op to build their businesses. Make sure your Leadership page spells out in clear terms what the Co-op does for affiliates and how any affiliate can buy into it. If you already have a pleasant experience with it, recommend it very strongly to your sponsored affiliates. That to my mind is the best way to introduce S-Builder Co-op to your affiliates.

I do hope this answers your question. Best wishes in your SFI business.

On seeing this question, the first thought that came to my mind is the degree of feasibility of training your PSAs offline. I believe you can only do so successfully if all or a very large number of your PSAs are living within your locality. With the nature of SFI and its affiliates programs, I hardly see how feasible that is.

If as your question indicates you believe you can easily assemble very many of your affiliates to a training seminar under one roof, all well and good. In that case, your seminar will take the form of any other regular seminars where you will have to invite and assemble all the affiliates you want to train in one place. In that case, I will advise you to do the following:

1. Find out first from your PSAs who and how many of them will be interested in your offline seminar.
2. If you receive good responses, you can then decide on a date and venue for the seminar.
3. Send out invitations to the PSAs who have indicated interest by way of communicating same to them well in advance.
4. Advertise to the affiliates well in advance what the topics of your seminar will cover.
5. Secure a suitable venue for the seminar preferably in a hotel or events club.
6. On the day of the seminar, be there to personally welcome the PSAs with very warm handshakes.
7. At the seminar proper, make it interactive and be sure the topics are interesting, informative and entertaining.
8. Request feedbacks from participants to aid preparations for future seminars.
9. Open follow-up communications with the participants on the subject matters.
10. Encourage the PSAs to open up communications with themselves as well.

I believe any offline seminar you are able to organize with these tips in mind will achieve the desired results.

Good luck!!!

Well, like every other affiliate, I am in SFI business to make money. On the long term, I believe I will make a lot of money to enable me live the way I want to live without any monetary inhibitions. In that case, on the long term, just like I did, any affiliate can set at least 10 long-term goals by providing answers to the following questions:

1. Which place will you like to live?
2. What type of house will you like to live in?
3. Who will you like to spend quality time with?
4. What additional challenges will you embark on?
5. How frequently will you go on vacation?
6. While on vacation, where will you like to go?
7. How will you like to travel?
8. What form(s) of transportation will you like to own?
9. What social/recreation clubs will you like to join?
10. What charity/social services will you like to fund?

Any answers you are able to provide for these 10 questions can adequately represent your long-term goals. You must be as realistic as you possibly can but avoid fantasy. Since money is not expected to be an obstacle, I believe you can easily set the type of long-term goals which could enable you to live very happily ever after.

Good luck !!!

Hi Ann,

The straight and direct answer to your question is “yes.” Offline marketing can be as effective as online marketing but the effectiveness depends on how good the marketer is. Whether online or offline, your expertise and experience play a major role in how effective your marketing is and can be in SFI business. There is something very good and encouraging about what many experts call “personal touch.” That is the major selling point for offline marketing. With it, you do have very ample opportunities of not only being able to explain anything person-to-person; you can also demonstrate your dexterity at persuading others to see things your way. Whereas, people who are very shy to meet or speak with other people one-on-one could resort to offline marketing methods with near or similar results.

I can say with all amounts of seriousness that online and offline marketing methods can be as effective as how good the marketer is at using any of the methods. Some persons who are very good at meeting people can be very effective at using offline marketing methods whereas many others who are very good at using the computer and they know how to use the Internet for marketing purposes can be very effective using online marketing methods. For best results, I do recommend the use of both online and offline marketing methods because each has its own strengths and weaknesses depending on who the marketer is.

I do hope this answers your question. Best wishes and happy marketing.

Arising from the above, the choice of what you do with your extra $100 therefore is absolutely up to you and yours alone. I do hope this answer helps? Best wishes.
