A2A can help you build your SFI business in many ways.

They are somewhat like a community based organization or association. A network of affiliates who support, encourage, motivate and inspire each other within the group. They can be your mentor or patron, if you like, that will provide valuable tips, information on how to grow your business. You can always ask your A2A for suggestions, solutions to any difficulty you face at SFI. They can be your partners in progress.

Tell them the truth! You run an online store where you sell products on commission and that you have a team of affiliates that also sell theirs and your products (if an ECA) and you receive commissions on all business transacted by your downline affiliates.

You could also tell them that you are a partner of Strong Future International (SFI) and that they too could become a team member by joining for free. Another way of sponsoring.

You could take this opportunity to explain

The best way depends on the individual.

For me the most successful advertising co-op is the S Builder co-op. You can set it up by clicking the Power Tools tab and clicking on the CO-op Manager from the drop box. Follow the instructions and you are set. It really works. You will have to purchase at least 1 unit of S Builder form TripleClicks. I have 3 units and set the co-opp which generates PSAs for me and my active downline (PSA and CSA).

Wishing you success.

I would say as often as possible... however this does not mean that you should contact them everyday!. At the start it could be everyday if you have a problem understanding SFI/TC. Ask them for explanations or answers. As time goes by and you catch up and are knowledgable with the workings of SFI/TC then you could contact them just to say Hi or to thank them for their weekly email. Everyone likes to see their efforts been appreciated and so a simple thank you will not only tell them that you are

All three of them are excellent. It is a matter of individual taste and preference. However, I will answer your question as follows, keeping in mind that these are placed in no particular order or preferences:


- TCredits. Use it to bid on DP auctions (double MRPs). With DP auctions you earn 10 MRP instead of the usual 5 MRP for every bid. This way you accumulate your MRP and then when your TCredits run low purchase these by paying through MRP. You also earn action VP. So double

If you had an extra $100, what would be the best way, specifically, to use it to maximize and help grow your SFI business?

Need a little clarification here. Do you mean extra $100 just this one time or every month? How you spend to maximize and grow your SFI business depends on whether this amount is available each month. If this is a one-time extra money then I suggest that you utilize it this way:

- Purchase TCredits to any value (you cannot place a SO because you won’t have this amount to purchase TCredits for the following month) and use it to bid on DP auctions (double MRPs). With DP auctions you earn

Lead by example. Then explain to them that with a SO of 1500VP minimum, you have time to dedicate to sponsoring new affiliates, time to encourage your downline team to grow thereby increasing the opportunity to earn more from the actions of your affiliates. Without the SO you will be spending time and effort in gathering this 1500VP just to keep your EA status.

Therefore, it is up to their own benefit to have a standing order so they could then spend time in advertising, sponsoring new

Look no further. You have the best mentor in SFI through the Forum and FAQ! You will find answers to everything you need to know about SFI and how to succeed. However, it is good to have a human being able to explain to you the intricacies of the working of SFI than a robot or auto responder. You have a mentor in you sponsor, co-sponsor and upline team.

I would suggest you to check the country leaderboard and request a A2A friend from the top runners. Reason is sometimes language becomes

Dear Abdul

There is so secret as such.

if you attend to the daily "to-do-list" check on the red tabs and click the blue bar at the bottom of the page for your 1VP, and read the Income, Marketing, Reference, Training, Power Tools and other drop box of the black/grey bar you can earn enough VP to take you from affiliate to EA. Then you need to place a standing order for 1500-2000VP as sales point to attain BTl level and from there on maintain your VP by attending to
