Great question.

This is the question many are very confused over.
I have been reading various answers on here, and for the first time selected no for my rating at least 4 times as to was this a good answer.

The answers given were for sure clearly expressing a wave of confusion when it comes to what most will consider to be investing in SFI and TripleClicks.

This is the very reason why our duplication processes will not work.

What I'm going to share with us today will change the way we think, but we will be building much stronger teams if we follow this option; "Investing in our SFI home business opportunity the best we can means we are purchasing products from TripleClicks that will bring us more visitor traffic, VP, MRP and TC point and credits. We are also investing back into the business to increase profit, which is the only reason why we joined.

Here is were our duplication means business; is when we see our teams growing much stronger, we are never worrying over our credits and commission volume increasing every month. We know our credits, teams, and commissions will be increasing every month because of the products we chose as "Standing Orders" are being duplicated, the investment back into the business is being duplicated, and the products we select, as we can afford is being duplicated.

We no longer worry about who is answering our email, we no longer are concerned about those who are not reading our blog entries, and we do not concern ourselves with those who are inactive, or never respond to our posts and message's. These are not strong team members, and if they were they would be showing up in our email alerts from SFI Admn.

I know this sounds a little selfish but we must continue on until the stragglers catch up, and keep rewarding the team builders who are duplicating us by investing back into our business with the same products recommended to us by our Sponsors. This is clearly the best investment we can make, and is what the founder makes very clear. This is the heart of duplicating this business with SFI. It is making purchases from TripleClicks that will grow stronger teams and increase profit. Bottom line!

Question:

"I feel my welcome message to PSAa is stale. How can I freshen it up? Sample welcome letters appreciated."

If I were you I would go directly to those written sample letters posted by SFI. You think you may have not been creative enough, many and most of these are very fitting for many situations.

If you want to edit these letters to your own style for use, at least they give us some idea what to say to our Team Members and new Affiliates.

If you have not tried this yet, why not go to your "Newly Enrolled Member Snapshot", or freshly joined and activate the profile information there.

Scroll down to where you will see; "Want to change the letter?" "Click here for directions OR view sample e-mails here", "Click here to view the default welcome letter text."

You can also access this information directly: https://www.sfimg.com/AffiliateSnapshot?sfiid=XXXidNumberXXX

I think you will come up with great ideas just looking over these sample letters.

Great question!

Question:
"How important is it to have a good sponsor and co-sponsor?"

Great question!

I'm lucky to have the privilege to experience both.

What is most important is you. Do you have what it takes? Are you willing to put forth the necessary effort to become successful with SFI?

As I ponder this question it is impossible to come to a good answer without first focusing on myself. No matter how great our sponsors are, we will only achieve what we are willing to put forth in effort.

Many sponsors have suggested it only takes 30 minutes a day to complete the Daily Actions, and point out how to collect VP's and so on. It goes well beyond these two factors.

No matter how great a sponsor or co-sponsor is, we as individuals will determine for ourselves we have or do not have what it takes.

Yes, encouragement from our upline is also great support, and will help us achieve more, but what about when we have to decide for ourselves?

How many hours will I devote to this business? Can a sponsor or co-sponsor make this decision?

Am I willing to devote 4 - 8 hours a day to become successful with this business? Will my sponsor or co-sponsor decide this for me?

It does help to have support from someone who has experienced the ropes, and also have several years of sponsoring under their belt, but what if you have a sponsor who lacks this experience?

I must admit I was somewhat overwhelmed at first, and made several mistakes on my own trying to go it alone due to a glitch in my personal email. My sponsor finally caught up with me, and asked why I was not duplicating any of her messages to me.

I asked her why she was not responding to any of my email, and we figured out it was not us it was an email issue. Once this was clear we communicated regularly, and this did help me improve much more quickly as she had much more experience.

What is most important is follow through on our own, and following up with a response to each message we receive, but if we are less fortunate, and have to go it alone, it is not impossible because there are built in support mechanisms which will steer us in the right direction, such as ASK SC, and the SFI Forum. Of course we also have 24/7 support.

There is no reason we can not seek success and find it even if we have sponsors and co-sponsors who struggle like we do. In some cases we will also experience inactive sponsors and co-sponsors.

If we are determined, we will continue on toward success with without them.

Thank you for allowing me to share!

The best way to track ads is to find a good URL cloaker that keeps up with hits. This means it will not only cloak a link, it also has software that will store how many hits to your site, with a special code, and the actual website. This way you can see which source is giving up the most hits to each link, and help determine where the best performance for advertising originated.

Question:
"My advertising is not providing satisfactory results. What should I do?"

I have been asking this same question about my own advertising efforts.

We have three areas of focus; building our Affiliate Teams, promoting TripleClicks products and services, and supporting our ECA Members by helping promote their products.

Now that we have broken this down into 3 options we ask where can I go to find these audiences?

There are many options when considering this question.

• Social Media
• Article Publishing
• Write Press Release
• Email Marketing
• Classified Ads
• Search Engine Optimization
• Google Search

We can use Google to locate each of those options listed above. Once we begin this journey, many more options will come to mind, while more exposure to other options will be located during our search.

How will we establish a marketing plan?

The first thing to do is realize our investment potential in time and money.

1. Search TripleClicks - For advertising solutions
2. Search the SFI Affiliate Center - For training information

1. Establish a Wish List

2. Establish a Budget from the Wish List

3. Establish Marketing Strategy

Set goals and try to stick to them.

These are just a few suggestions, but they will help us remain on track if we publish them and reference them often.

Review, revise, and re-invest along the way.

Hoping this will help.

Thank you for allowing me to share!

Question:
"What is the most important message I must convey to my team to prevent them becoming inactive?"

Khalida Anies,

The best way to prevent this from happening is to do what we know to do as soon as we receive the alert; “You just sponsored a PSA!”
What we do is have these notifications delivered to our cellphones as well as our email address. Making sure we also have our email alerts turned on while doing other online tasks.

It is very difficult to accomplish this if you are sleeping while being alerted, but try to get online as soon as possible and catch the PSA member online.

The best thing to do if this person is yet online, is to attempt to prompt them into action with a brief chat welcome to the team, and offer help.

After this has been accomplished, send a welcome e card, and next a pre-written email by activating the preview button, and next sending this letter via Outlook in Microsoft Word.

It is also possible to copy and paste their email address in our own email account, and “Compose” them a personalized email directing them to their “Ledger” and the 3 “Training Buttons” next to their “Profile Photo” at our “Affiliate Center” right away.

This will help gain their focus, and if they are seriously seeking success, they will also hang out a little longer and learn something about the SFI TripleClicks business opportunity.

Making certain we are reminding them to contact us immediately we welcome them with an invitation to correspond with us frequently and regularly, as those of us who do communicate with their sponsors on a regular basis usually do rather well achieving their goals.

At this point it is just a matter of following up regularly with those tools provided for us, and rest assured we have done all we can.

Thanks for allowing me to share.

Question:
"What do you say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time?"

Evidently this person has not spent enough time with the daily actions to make this claim. In this case it is time to ask the questions which should have been asked prior to this persons enrollment.

From experience, when we log in we do have to complete these tasks long enough without missing any days to realize the value of these actions.

I would have to revert back to this evidence that has to be the cause of one making this determination and ask this person if they still remember why they joined.

There may be something in their response that will open up other answers to our questions and also help the person express more in information regarding that claim; "daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time" while also pinpointing clues to other issues this person my have.

Whatever be the case spending too much time with this person may prove to be fruitless, and also indicate the person will not have the time it takes to invest in doing this SFI business.

We sometimes just have to accept the fact that everyone is not cut out for SFI.

Thank you for allowing me to share.

Question:

"What would you say to a PSA who states that their goal is to find an online job involving filling out forms and typing?"

I would say to that person; "You found it!"

Learn as much as you can about SFI and TripleClicks, join in on our SFI Forum, and ASK SC, then participate with those Affiliates seeking answers.

You are the right one for this business opportunity. We need Affiliates who also love to share, and since your expertise is typing, you could share your experiences on all of the social media sites, create your blogs, not only for your own immediate team members, but for promoting your URLs.

Typing in your thoughts and comments will be a breeze for you in those discussion groups online. There are also many forums online available where you can share your experiences online.

You like to write; how about creating articles and press releases, having them published online is one of the most resourceful methods I know which have the ability to get you listed among major search engines, and many of these are free.

Guess what; many of those social media sites also provide the opportunity for article and press release publishing.

Just think, placing ads in those free classifieds will also be idea for those who have writing ability, and can demonstrate they have knowledge of the SFI/TripleClicks home business opportunity.

Most writers also possess skills that people who do not have this passion will never achieve, and a fluent vocabulary to help convey an expression across to their audiences with ease.

We are very fortunate to find people like you, and seek more like you in this business.

You will always be a valuable asset to the company.

Thank you for allowing me to share.

What is needed first is an opted in response for acceptance of the mailings to continue reception as in the case of traditional. The only way to be sure they are reading them is from the Affiliate Center. Check their ledger for improvements in areas that were stagnant before you addressed the issues there. Check the "Movers" tab. There we can see those who contacted us by email for advise in a specific area, and we can see the outcome of improvement in that area mentioned in the email communication. We also notice inactive members suddenly wake up shortly after sending the messages weekly to the "Group Mailers". The best way to tell they are reading, our even receiving them is when they respond. When they respond these are the ones I really focus on.

Both!

An advertising co-op is great, but to gain more exposure and web presence we prefer to use WordPress blogs, and as many as you are comfortable with. This way we communicate with our team members more effective and efficiently events regarding the SFI Co-op. On our blogs we also have the ability to advertise and promote the SFI/TripleCliks events, training, and many other major forms of happenings to our teams. Many of us have multiple blog, and can also connect and share information from the SFI News, TripleClicks, and Eager Zebra blogs.

I would not go as far as to compare one against the other except to understand both to have differing marketing capabilities, and serve different purposes, but both are great options for communicating with our teams.
