Which products should I choose to advertise???...

For starters, I would recommend products you do or would use yourself. If you are familiar with them, it will come across in your ads, might encourage more people to try a product new to them.

Pick items that people use frequently, or items coming on sale for upcoming holidays, or items students might need.

Start with a few good solid choices, see which ones move. You can always add or delete items later on, after

The only thing you can really do is try ecards asking if they are having difficulties with which you could help them. Send them a few card, maybe three days or so apart, see if you can get a response.

If they choose NOT to respond to you, there is not much you can do besides continue to send them routine team mails, and cross your fingers! By continuing to contact them weekly, mayhaps they will change their minds.

Many start surprisingly well, then decide to back off when

Is there such a thing as helping your affiliates TOO much?

Absolutely, there is!

Let your introductory welcoming letter to them give a brief synopsis of SFI and TripleClicks, while guiding them to the best steps to begin learning: Basics, LaunchPad lessons, Internet Income course, the Forum, askSC.

Contact them once within a day or so of their join date, then once a week in your team mails. And, of course, immediately as possible when they contact you with questions!:)

Do NOT hand-feed them all their training. Do not tell

The only thing you CAN do when previously active affiliates stop their activity is send an e-card or email asking if they are having any difficulties with which you can help them.

Continue to stay in contact with them just as you do with your other sleepers. I think these actives who go to sleep are in shock from discovering there is a good bit of studying and work to do to create their own active team!!

If you stay in touch every four or five days instead of only once a week,

The best way to guess Pick the Price figure is to note the time the auction is to start, then click on the "history" link above the entry box.

This will take you to pages full of past auctions for that item. Look for past auctions that started on the same day of the week, as close as possible to the same time of day. Remember that the time shown in the auction list is the time the auction ENDED, so if the auction time is 14:30 CT and auction was 2 hours long, the start time

Your next objective should be to decide if you are in a position to move to Bronze Team Leader.

Do you have at least a few active PSAs? They will benefit you the most, but active CSAs are also helpful.

Can you afford a standing order of at least 125 TCredit pack ($36.25USD)? Can you also add at least one unit of S-Builder Coop ($22.00USD)? Can you cover this order within the first five days of the month? Both of these items together will be $58.25, and will give you 1780 SVPs

There are no shortcuts or magic formulas for winning auctions of any kind, unfortunately:))

My best advice is to enter ANY auction with a positive attitude, and give your best effort.

Unless you have lots and lots of TCredits, do not get into a bidding war, or set your bid assist when you can tell another already has one active. That is wasteful of your TCs. DO watch the auction a little while, see if the bidder leaves the auction, then try.

Always bid on an item

Once you have your flyers in hand, always take them with you when you leave home.

These flyers can be placed in all the places you can think of!! If you want to put them by checkout points inside a business, be sure to have permission.

Otherwise, good places are under windshield wipers on cars parked in malls, stores, at the doctor's office, or the vet.
On outside benches at fast food places, leave them on taxi seats. bus seats. Any place around colleges of any kind.

I would think any of the ideas that have been presented for advertising locally would work just as well at a job fair or business area kiosk.

Have plenty of flyers on hand for all the different income sources available within SFI, and be ready with pictures of products, information on FastTracker 2.0, tell about selling TCredit packs to friends, etc., to recruit TripleClicks PRMs...

Basically do your advertising setup at the booth/kiosk as you would for an online display, using

I would suggest giving them a thumbnail version of what is involved in becoming successful with SFI; never lie to them, but avoid over-stressing the daily time involved to properly learn the system, clear red tabs, advertise or prospect live for PSAs, support the ones you have, etc. This might frighten many people away if you tell them 2-3 hours/day.

I think it would be better to stress the benefits of the New Member Packs, becoming EA2, playing some of the games, and bidding auctions.
