Hi -

DIVERSIFY - it is the way to succeed.

Just do NOT start ALL at once - find out which is the easiest and most comfortable method to you and start from there.

That might be just passing out SFI Cards or FLIERS locally - keep doing that and visit the TRAINING TAB on your home page.

Once you have the feeling for it, that's your first step.
The rest will follow almost automatically - what brought you to SFI?

Hi,

125 TCredits as a SO, Standing Order - gives you 1500 VP + 100 VP for a SO,
adds also MRP's to your TripleClick account. Add 25 VP's to it to review the
product.

Use these purchased TCredits in Penny Auction.

Learn the whole auction process perhaps when there is a Double MRP rewards auction.
Each bid gives you usually 5 MRP and 10 in the DP of course.
Each bid also gives you 1 VP (500max.) -

Then when you're running low on TCredits,

Hello Milica,

I believe your focus is on ECA!

Do you subscribe to Newsletters niche related?
Are you involved in any interest group, locally or on the web?
Are the products/merchandise your own?

Text ads in newsletters are usually inexpensive.
Place small banners on your blog/website in the
sidebar and add a short description of the item.

Have a "About You" page - gain people's trust and
confidence. Write that 'true

If there were any formula existing it would be quite easy.

Unfortunately there isn't one. The only solution I can
think of is to advertise in the right places where people
are serious about changing their lives without looking
for a get rich quickly opportunity.

Without any work ethics it just won't do -
most think signing up and putting a few banners somewhere will make them rich.

Hello Sabastine,

indeed a good question as it varies with each affiliate.

To respond to these affiliates accordingly one must understand
their expectations and goals they have set for themselves.

Efforts equals success, but it sure doesn't come over night.

Check on their VPLedger if there is something they are missing
out on. Encourage then to take the necessary steps. If you see the PSA
is doing all they can do, emphasize again that time

Is there an answer to that? If so, I am still looking for it myself.

Sometimes the "Initial Spark" is much bigger than the "eternal flame" - some make the Fast Track look very slow, only to fade away when there's no visible instant results.

Once you see the determination and enthusiasm fading slightly, as sponsor I would take a close look why and get in touch with him/her. Available resources might be limited to the person to advance or stay at least EA.

"One Hand washes the other" - this old proverb perhaps sums it up best.

...and besides, doing both adds so much more variety and LIFE to this endeavor and stays exciting for you as there is always something NEW.

Just recruiting Affiliates can become an easy burn-out and frustrating - imagine having 500 PSA's and only 3 or 5 are actually involved.

TripleClicks gives a wide variety - start with friends, with a test run - read about the restrictions and

Hi Tami -

have you heard this somewhere before:

"Success comes with perseverance and determination. the determination overcome all difficulties or challenges" -

Yes, it's your own "Best Tip" - we're not yet half way through the month so you should not panic at all. Try to calculate the approximate points you can gather till the end of the month. If action points will not get you there alone, there are many ways, small ways, which will not exhaust

What's best? Sponsoring fewer PSAs and concentrating on coaching and helping them build...or continuously sponsoring new affiliates?

That is the one of the better questions lately and by all these excellent responses already, there isn't much that I could add.

Balance seems to be the Keyword -
if you already have an active down-line there's always the "Re-Assignment" tool, so keep them coming.

Have a quality personal page created solely for SFI with the idea of recruiting new affiliates, these new sign ups are usually better equipped for it and willing to work on their own success.

Hello Stephen,

"I CAN DO IT" - this is perhaps the most valuable thing I've learned and it has not yet been a year; but so far this is it.

* I have learned that setting a goal is important
* I have learned that discipline is needed to succeed
* I have learned that open communication can help you reach your goals faster
* I have learned there are so many people like me struggling to make a living
* I have learned to believe in myself

Thanks
