An interesting question. When we say good, does it mean beneficial to you alone or both (you and your downline)? Depending on what is define here as good, I may or may not satisfy the reader.

A new affiliate might at first be confused upon his/her first time logging in to his/her homepage. Some are slow and some are fast learner. I will not consider a slow learner to be no good, because it just takes time for him/her to learn and as he/she put her belief in all his/her SFI activities, he/she might become a super affiliate. The key to the signs of a new affiliate becoming a good one, is by showing him/herself enthusiastic,asking questions to his upline or SFI support, participating in the forum and reading past Ask SC submitted questions. His consistency, perseverance and determination will be measured by the following metrics, like VersaPoints, Power Rank, Number of Badges and Star ratings.

In my opinion, the key questions to ask for signs of a new affiliate becoming a good one are: How high is his/her teachability index? Does he/she believe in mastering the basics by applying the SFI rules of success? Is he/she willing to change and do whatever it takes to become successful?

The secret for easily qualifying for the rank of a Team Leader every month is not really secret but it’s all summed up in the principle of SFI BASICS.

1. Become an Executive Affiliate and maintain it every month.
This is the first basic requirement to move up to the TL level. You’ll need to set up a Standing Order that has 1500 VP every month. This will save you time in complying of the EA in regards to VP. You can then add another SO worth 500 VP to have the required Sales VP for qualifying to become TL. All TLs must meet the 2000 Sales VP. Your daily, weekly and monthly actions are classified as Action VPs. For BTL you’ll need 2000 Sales VP and 1000 Action VP; STL: you’ll need 2000 Sales VP and 2000 Action VP; GTL: you’ll need 2000 Sales VP and 3000 Action VP; PTL: you’ll need 2000 Sales VP and 4000 Action VP. Notice that the Action VPs increases as you move up to the next level of being a TL. To achieve this go to the second step.

2. Recruit five affiliates by applying the methods of sponsoring provided by SFI tools and resources.
If you set a goal of sponsoring certain numbers of new affiliates every month consistently, you’ll have more chance and well prepared to qualify for a TL. You’ll need also to maintain your leadership page and maintain a 3-star sponsor ratings from PSAs (not applicable if TLs have less than 5 ratings). Notice that in your Team Leadership and Support actions you’ll get unlimited points! A 100 VP for each EA2 support, 150 VP for each BTL support, 200 VP for each STL support, 250 VP for each GTL support and 300 VP for each PTL support. You can start your duplication by moving to step 3.

3. Teach your five affiliates to do these same three steps.
You need to show your PSAs (focus on your movers), to do the same three steps. This may sound simple, but it requires your determination and commitment. You’ll need to establish a close relationship with your team. Build a relationship of trust!

In my experience of presenting the idea of TripleClicks TCredits started in my workplace. I have a good work relationship with my work colleagues. I always treat them as I would like to treat myself, so I gain respect and trust before them. I was looking at TripleClicks auctions one day and one of my colleagues asked me why I’m having so much fun on what I was doing that day. I showed him with my smartphone about the bidding going on an Apple IPAD. He was very much interested in the latest technology and he started to inquire more. He was shocked to find out that you don’t have to spend instantly hundred of dollars to outbid someone but starts as low as 29 cents per bid.

He inquired more about the auctions and how to participate and this is when I presented him the plastic gift card which features an attractive TripleClicks logo design. He couldn’t believe that I gave him a card which is redeemable for $12 at TripleClicks.com. He immediately signed up and became a BTL!

My point is, start with people you are close to. You’ll have a higher probability of success in converting them to become PRM.

When choosing between paid or free advertising, you should make a list of questions how your advertising tool works effectively towards your goal.

The critical factor that you should consider is your money and time investments to attain your goal. Do you want to quit your job in 5 years? Do you want to start supplementing your current income in a year or two?

If you choose free online advertising, it may require considerable amount of time. Most of the sites that offer free online advertising will require you to click and read several ads of their partner sites, before you can place your ads and you may renew your ads only twice a month. This ad process is time consuming. It is not really free because time is money. This route will take you longer in achieving your goal.

On the other hand, paid advertising has a major advantage over free advertising, when it comes to time. You can choose how long you can run your ad and get a targeted traffic to match your prospects. You have a higher probability of finding quality affiliates here. Compare ad prices, shop to find the most reasonable one for this kind of advertising. For me time is a precious commodity, I will choose paid advertising as more effective in acquiring quality affiliates.
