Show them the math on getting a penny doubled every day for 30 days.
One cent becomes 2 cents, which becomes 4 cents etc.. until day 30 when you become a millionaire.
With SFI there is no guarantee that your efforts will be doubled every day but through a dedication to sales and training they can have thousands of people duplicating their results in dollars not pennies.
SFI is an affiliate program for a online mall and auction site much like E-bay Affiliates or Amazon Affiliates. The big difference is that we allow you to sponsor other affiliates and reward you will shared in the TripleClicks Executive Pool, which is a profit share.
Work hard and you will become a team leader and open up matching shares on up to 12 levels of downline. This is how so many in our company are earn 5-6 figure incomes and why SFI is consistently rated among the best affiliate programs on the web.

I walked away once a decade back because the bright lights of fast money caught my eye. After a decade of working in network and affiliate marketing and even owning my own programs I found that the training that has served me best came from SFI. My advice to anyone thinking of giving up is to figure out first what you will stand to lose by walking away and how certain are you to obtain your goals if you set a precedence of quitting, of giving up.
SFI takes faith in oneself, you don't need anyone to be on board with your business except you in order to attract more people with your winner's mindset. Glad you stayed, and glad you asked this question.

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

July will offer a great chance to market TripleClicks via Eager Zebra and the free gift card program.
On Facebook and Google plus start making note of your friends who send you app invites for trivia games and puzzle games, as well as those that post brain teasers on their wall or post a ton of quotes.
This list is a solid batch of leads for people who would take those free T-credits and use them on Knock Out Trivia which released in July. It's a very addicting game and could lead to tons of T-credit purchases.
Potential message:
Hi friend I have noticed you like _______ games and trivia may be interesting to you. I would like to offer you a chance to play Knock Out Trivia for free and win valuable credits you can turn into real products/prizes or use to bid for even bigger savings in our online penny auction.
If this sounds like something you would like to try I want to give you a free $12 gift card to check it out. If not ignore this and I won't bother you again.

I've been in SFI for one year now with no success. What should I do now?

Well if you haven't had any success yet you are missing something.
You could be missing some of the vital training. Read your launchpad again, read George Little's Internet Income course, read the sponsoring and referring methods on your marketing center again.
You could be missing the moral support or have a lack of understanding of key points in that training. Hit the forum and Ask Sc and dig deep until your questions are answered and your motivation improved.
You could be missing the effort required but you don't look like someone who is afraid of a little work. Keep looking to grow into better sources of advertising. Learn direct marketing and start talking to people one on one. If you haven't done so yet, establish a blog because after a year a good blog will have enough traffic to help sustain your efforts and the readers will be well informed and ready to act when they join SFI.
Lastly you could suffer from lack of perspective. If you have truly accomplished nothing in a year I have you read all wrong. Have you added up the sum of your minor victories and looked back on your progress? Are you smarter now than you were a year ago and have you referred people to your business and learned about smart investment or made even a small amount of money with the system?
My bet is you have done more than you think you have.

Should I or shouldn't I participate in the SFI PPA program?

If I asked you to bring me hundred dollar bills an told you I would pay you fifty cents to $10 for each, would you do it?
My top PSA paid me over $300 this past year in direct commissions alone and added over 700 members to my team on level 2 and I wouldn't have made more than ten dollars had I been promoting ppa at the time. Instead, another affiliate would have made all that money.
Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

I have seen it work and seen it fail based on the crowd and how often you run such incentives.
If you offer a contest for reaching a certain rank or securing X number of new members every 3 months or so you will motivate the takers to compete for the prize(s), but make it exclusive, to win and not the everyone gets a ribbon type event that is destroying the motivation to excel and be the best.
If you hold these contest or rewards too often they can lead to people tying their effort to a reward. If you suddenly don't offer a reward next month the dependent affiliate will simply stop working as hard. Don't laugh I see more people doing exactly this these days, especially students.
A Good Example is the Coke A Cola Caught Red Handed campaign where restaurant and convenience store employees can win a prize during the contest period simply for asking the customer would you like a coke with that or if they have ordered a coke asking them if they wish to super size it? These up sell skills are part of the job 365 days a year but millions of fast food workers and store cashiers only offer the up sell during the contest and then go back to doing the minimum when no contest is running.
The program started out as a boon to business getting people in the habit of asking if the customer would like to add another purchase to their order but here we are over a decade into the promotion and it's like Caught Red Handed for 60 days but that leaves 305 days our crew will under perform and cost us sales.
Sorry years as a fast food manager and convenience store manager bleeding through but the behavior is the same with any regular incentive. Soon it can get to where your contest cost you money instead of making it.

Reputation, Dedication, and a Service Above Self Interest mentality.
You build reputation through learning and sharing what you learn, by being a good sponsor, and by being consistent in your unwavering efforts. This all falls down if you program hop, if you provide contradictory training which is often a sign of copying and pasting other people's works, and being a bad sponsor. Your PSA will talk about you if you don't talk to them.
Always give 120% effort, 140% kindness, and 160% great service. Every PSA is a potential TripleClicks customer, so treat them how you would like to be treated in the stores where you shop.

If the weather is bad hold a conference room at a local hotel if available, or arrange a Home Party where you invite fewer guest into a sizable living room for snacks and a presentation.
If the weather is beautiful a park or lakeside meeting might offer added peace and comfort for your visitors and you can easily arrange snacks of a pot luck picnic and games for kids and families to make the gathering fun and memorable.
Try to keep the actual presentation to under 1 hour and leave plenty of time for lots of questions and always have hand outs. Use X-cards and ECA Brochures, printed flyers, and order a magnetic car sign and bring something metal to stick it to so it displays for all who attend to see. The more physical aids you have the more professional you will appear and the more they will trust the legitimacy of your business.
Always have at least 3 times as many cards and flyers as you think you'll need because some people may not personally join but may ask for a flyer and card to give each of their siblings or someone at church they know needs money.
Get fired up for your presentation. Watch a motivational video the morning of the event, listen to rock music on your drive there, and be explosive with your presentation because your passion or lack there of will set the tone of the room and you want people borrowing your phone or tablet to sign up now.

The best content is created by you but if you have to have filler you can start with the following:
-Creative Commons Search for articles, photos, video, commercial publishing allowed.
-Article Directories
-Press Release Sites
-WikiPedia
-A Search for Public Domain Articles
And if you really want to do more harm than good, buy PLR Articles and try spinning them in related software so they can still be penalized as duplicate and low quality content by Google.
Add on to content with videos from Youtube, Metacafe, and Vemeo, and you can also negotiate a deal with a podcaster to expand their audience by carrying their feed enclosure on your blog post of the transcript.
Be advised that Google loves unique, first time they have seen this content so you are better off either writing your own or hiring someone like me to write your content for you.

Long term is up to the individual. I can't tell you what is right for you but here is what is right for me.
Long term I need to own a 5-6 bedroom house to care for my large 7 children, wife, and mom.
I need a solid income coming in to cover all out living expenses and also make up for 40 years of lost time saving up for retirement. Within the next 20 years I need to have at least $6,000 a month in income coming in through my online business because as bad as my health and disabilities are right now I know additional care will be needed in retirement.
I would love to see a portion of my business automated so I can enjoy residual income regardless of my health or physical ability.
I need to have a minimum $500,000 in investments within 25 years to pair with that income.
Within 30 years I need to have life insurance and trust funds in place for my children and hopefully grandchildren when I'm gone. Doesn't have to be much but I would like them to have an easier time than we have had.
