When communicating with my downline, is it best to use the SFI email utility or my own email? What is the most effective?

The SFI email utility is an invaluable tool because it allows you to choose the members of your downline that you want to communicate with. For example, if you want to email all new SFI affiliates in your downline each day, you can just use the Genealogy to sort your downline by the Date Joined and filter it using today's date. Then you can send an email to just those affiliates. The SFI email utility is also effective if you are trying to reach affiliates that you do not have email addresses for.
However, using your own email address is most effective when trying to reach SFI affiliates who have not opted out of SFI but are no longer logging in to SFI. That way they get your message even if they don't log in to SFI.

Will moving up my personal rank in SFI help to gain more trust from my downline members and help fuel further growth?

Yes, you gain much more credibility when you put into practice the things that you recommend to your downline, especially progressing in rank and maintaining that rank once you have achieved it. This gives your downline the confidence to realize that it can be done. Whenever your downline views your affiliate snapshot and sees the rank that you have achieved, they aspire to attain the rank that you have. I know that my sponsor's excellent example and rank of Silver Team Leader inspires me to work harder and support my downline more so that I too can be a Silver Team Leader soon.

What attitudes make the difference between achieving mediocrity and success?

Those who achieve mediocrity have an attitude that says, "I'll do enough just to get by." They are not enthusiastic or passionate about what they are doing, so they do not inspire others to follow their example. Therefore, they do not reach their full potential.
However, those who achieve success have an attitude that says, "I'll do whatever it takes to succeed." They are enthusiastic and so passionate about what they are doing, that they attract likeminded people who are not only willing to follow their example, they are willing to assist them in getting to the top. Therefore, they reach their full potential, and sometimes, even reach farther than they or anyone else thought possible.

SFI affiliates can find good items to sell in their TripleClicks ECA store through drop shipping sites like DOBA. These sites allow you to sell name brand products and have them shipped for you once you make a sale. You can determine which niche market you want to sell to like electronics or home decor or sell a wide variety of products.
Does having a co-op for your downline help get them active and stay active?

Having a co-op does not help you get your downline active and stay active. If the affiliates in your downline are not prepared to support the affiliates that sign-up through the co-op, it may actually scare them away from SFI. It is important that the affiliates you add to your co-op have shown interest in sponsoring affiliates, have been consistently working their SFI business already, and already know what it takes to be an awesome sponsor or are eager to learn what it takes to be an awesome sponsor.

To maintain EA status on a shoestring budget, you will have to log in to SFI on a daily basis and do your Daily Actions. You must also do all the Weekly and Monthly actions available. In addition, join Wave3, which is $1.95 for shipping and handling. This will provide you with the chance to win $250 in the weekly cash drawing for referring others to Wave3. Your Wave3 starter kit will provide you with everything you need to refer people to Wave3. Wave3 will also provide you with TCredits and MRP that you can use to purchase products on TripleClicks. For each product you purchase, you will have the chance to review the product, which will earn you an additional 25 VP per review. As a Wave3 member, you also get the opportunity to participate in the Pick the Price contest for each Pricebenders auction. If you choose the exact ending price of the auction or the closest price below the ending price, you will win TCredits that you can use to participate in Pricebenders auctions and earn 1 VP and 5 MRP per bid and you can earn up to 500 VP for the month from Pricebenders auctions participation. You can also make purchases with the TCredits you win.
Enter the Daily Grand every day, so that you have the chance to win VP or TCredits among other prizes. Submit an answer to each new Ask SC question when possible to have a chance to earn unlimited VP for having the top answer or second best answer. Set up a standing order for at least 1 TCredit. This allows you to get the cheapest standing order price on any other eligible standing order products when you can afford to purchase them. Support your downline and help them maintain EA status as well, and you can earn unlimited 100 VP for each EA2 in your first generation that achieves EA status each month.

Use your VP ledger as a guide to see where you are not getting the maximum VP you can earn. Leave no VP available if possible, and you will have no problem attaining EA status each month.

How do you decide which SFI banner is the best and most suitable for your website?

This is a great question! I choose the SFI banner that best fits the audience that will be viewing it. For example, if your blog is being seen by a lot of working moms, you should choose the SFI banner about "How Can You Spend More Time With Your Kids?" If older people are viewing your site, you may want to use the SFI banner that asks if they are worried about retirement.
Why do so many people join SFI and then do nothing...and what should I do about this?

So many people join SFI because it is free to join. However, many do nothing with SFI because they are not willing or do not have the free time to learn how to earn with SFI. There are several things that you can do about this. Always send a welcome message and see if the new affiliate responds to the message with questions. Check your Movers tab each day and see if your new affiliates are there. If they are not, and you are able to call them, call your new affiliates and see what they were looking when they joined SFI and see if you can answer any questions they have that will motivate them to give SFI a try once again. Share your SFI story, as it usually helps to motivate new affiliates.
Nevertheless, there will be people that just are not ready to utilize what SFI has to offer. No one program fits everyone's needs. So, please do not stop your progress with SFI because other's do not see its potential as a real income opportunity. You only need 4-5 affiliates in your first generation who are willing to stick with SFI to start earning a real income with this program. Work with those 4-5 affiliates closely while supporting the others in your downline as well, then teach your 4-5 to duplicate your efforts. If the others see your success, eventually they may return to SFI and give it another chance. To your success!

Where can I find SFI success stories? And/or perhaps YOU have one to share?

You can find SFI success stories in the SFI forum, in the a2a stream, and on your uplines' leadership pages. In addition, on the left side of the screen on the SFI website, you can often find testimonials written by successful SFI affiliates.
For me, I already feel successful with SFI even though I am not yet at the top of leaderboard. I feel like a winner for choosing to stick with the SFI income opportunity because I have been privileged to win so many prizes since I have become an SFI affiliate in May of 2012. I even won the $250 cash Wave3 drawing! The wonderful friendships that I have with my SFI sponsor and members of my downline also contribute to my feeling of success with SFI.

How do I encourage my affiliates to set up a Standing Order?

One of the best reasons for setting up a Standing Order is so that SFI affiliates can choose the items they love and want to receive every month all in one place. In addition, TripleClicks provides you a discount on Standing Order products once an SFI affiliate sets up their first Standing Order. Even a Standing Order for just 1 TCredit will activate the discount on any additional Standing Order products added to an affiliate's future standing orders.
