In this business, my best advice is always to lead by example. You can not easily convince anyone to set up a Standing Order if you do not have one in place yourself. If you have a Standing Order in place, you become a very credible teacher. You can easily get the attention of your PSAs to do same by telling them the benefits you derive from the standing order.

Principal among these benefits are:

1.You enjoy considerable discounts up to 17% on all your purchases on the Standing

I believe it is much better to provide prospects only a brief overview of what SFI is about. That is probably why SFI provides “SFI Basics” to complement the details in the LaunchPad lessons. All you want is attention and a brief overview is enough for you to get it.

Your first encounter with a prospect is only rewarding if you manage to “arouse” their interest. That is exactly what a brief overview of SFI allows you to do. Once their interest is sufficiently aroused, you can proceed

This is the type of question which could best be directed to seasoned Webmasters and not to amateurs like most of us Affiliates in SFI. However, let me try to answer it in the plain language through which I understand it. Link cloaking software became useful to protect links from being hijacked by ubiquitous online predators. The main drawbacks to using link cloaking software are as follows.

1. It can only be used effectively by experienced online marketers.

2. Some smart online

What is the best and least expensive way to build a personal SFI Website?

Good question you asked but with a bit of ambiguity. This is because the best website may not necessarily be the least expensive while the least expensive website may not be the best. For that reason, I tend to think that you may have to settle for any one of these two advantages because they rarely go together.

If you do not want to spend any money at all to build a personal website, you can get for free at many web hosting sites which provide a free space for anyone who wants one. You

Should my ads link to my own webpage/blog...or to an SFI Gateway? Which is the best approach and why?

As a rule in online advertising, your ads links must link to the place you want your visitors to see. Usually that “place” is where the product you are selling or marketing can be found. It does not really matter whether the place is in your webpage/blog or in your SFI Gateway.

A link is just like a path which leads to somewhere. That somewhere is where you want your online visitors to get to. Whether the link is in form of text ads, banner ads or any other type of ad, so long as it

How can I build a successful SFI business when I have a team of inactive affiliates and doubtful customers for my TripleClicks store?

You can build a successful SFI business even with inactive affiliates and doubtful customers for your TripleClicks store. This is because “success” in SFI is a relative term. What constitutes success for me may not be what constitutes success for you. Besides, inactive affiliates and doubtful customers may be temporary setbacks which can change with time and experience in the business.

Having said that, I tend to believe from your question that you may be thinking like the farmer who
