New affiliates should not rush through SFI quickly. It is better to take it slow to learn and apply the actions. They could easily get so overwhelmed quickly and might quit.

They also should not rush through to earn as many VPs as possible. It is better to be able to do the actions required to stay above the green line to make it to the E365 Finalist race and make it to EA the first month and than they could save the rest of the action VPs to do for the next month to help them become a EA for the 2nd month.

They also should not expect to Get-Rick-Quick. If they take it slow and learn and apply, they will be able to build up their business to be able to earn a nice income.

They should not be afraid to ask questions. Asking questions will help them to find answers to their questions, instead of leaving them stuck on something, which could cause them to quit.

They should not look at SFI as a job. Even though you can earn while you learn, it is a business that they will be building to earn both residual and leverage income if they take their time and read, learn and apply. It is their own business, not a job.

They should not be afraid to take part in all contest and games. Anyone can become a winner if they try to take part in all contest and games.

They should not be afraid to try something new. You will never know if you can become successful unless you try.

Hello All,

I do not think that it is a good idea to try to convince your PSAs that they should set up a Standing Order.

The reason being is that when reading through the SFI program, you will learn that if you do set up a Standing Order that it will earn some extra benefits and also better your chances of becoming an EA automatically each month without any worries of how to earn those 1500 VPs to become an EA.

I think that many of the affiliates have some financial problems and they are not able to set up a Standing Order at the current time but it could be something that they are working on being able to do.

You could scare away your PSAs by requesting that they set up a Standing Order quickly without meaning too do that, but they might take this as a negative suggestion, thinking you are only after wanting some money from them.

When the suggestion comes from your PSA, that is the time for you to explain all of the details about the benefits of maintaining a Standing Order and being able to become an EA.

Another suggestion would be to just make a comment in your Weekly Group Mailings, but not in a way to where you are being demanding of your PSAs purchasing a Standing Order.

Not in all of your Weekly Mailings, maybe just once a month would be a nice reminder. You could do that by making a suggestion of what type of products that are available to earn the 1500 VPs that you can get with a Standing Order.

Or remember that you can mix and match your products for a Standing Order to get the 1500 VPs needed to become an EA.

Or what type of benefits are earned when someone becomes an EA by having a Standing Order.

You could also search the forum and Ask SC for some suggestions of being able to set up a Standing Order for as little as $20 a month.


Hope this helps.

Absolutely doing two blogs is way better than doing just one.

Once you learn how to create a blog and know what you need to do to maintain a blog, than the sky is the limit for you to advertise your business to every possible way.

But...I am going to suggest to take it a step further than just two blogs.

There is no limit on the amount of blogs that one person can have.

Create a blog on SFI. Create another blog on SFI, but with a different angle. Create a blog on Pricebenders. Create a blog on TripleClicks. Create a blog on TC Direct products and earn commissions. Create a blog on other ECA products and earn commissions. Create a blog on products that you are selling yourself. Create a blog on Eager Zebra Games. Create a blog for Artists, etc...

One blog might do better than another blog, just like with using the text ads from the marketing center, or they all might work really good for you.

Expand on your knowledge and expertise and experiment and just keep on moving.

See, the Sky is the Limit, (which of course is endless).

Hope this helps.

Hi Boza,

Since you are trying to build up your team with active affiliates, my suggestion is to start off with the purchase of S-Builder co-op.

https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=38631

Because you will start to have some new PSAs starting to come on your team while you are doing some other methods of advertising.

Marketing Methods

https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods

Then you might want to start with some Free Advertising methods. Start with something like Free Classifieds. If you can post at least 10 ads a day, this will give you a starting point in order to get the news out that you are in business.

You could than start trying other methods of advertising, such as Safe List or some Traffic Exchanges, Word of Mouth, Flyers, Gift Cards, Blogging, Social Media, etc...

After you get comfortable with learning how to do some advertising in different methods of advertising, than you can start to try out some of the Paid Advertising.

You could purchase some PSAs, but the same will apply with the fact that there is no guarantee that they will become active PSAs. But, this could also help you to build up your downline.

So you might want to consider not to rely on just one method when first starting out with building up your team.

Using many different methods until you find out what works best for you, is going to make the difference when it comes to building up your business with PSAs.

With paid advertising such as Paid Per Clicks, (PPC), make sure that you do your research, because this can become a very expensive way to go if you do not know what you are doing.

It is very important for you to use key-codes and check your hit-tracker on a daily basis to find out what advertising methods that you are doing are working great for you.

If you have not yet to get some good results, than just keep trying different places and different ways to advertise.

By trying all different methods and discovering which way works good for you, than learn that technique and become the best at that technique.

After you have conquered that one technique, than try to conquer another technique.

The more you advertise and the more different techniques that you use to advertise, the better your results will be.

You also might want to consider to play in the auctions for some of the CSAs and PSAs to help you build up your team.

Because Marketing is a numbers game, you might have to go through thousands of affiliates to find a small group of workers on your team.

Once you get comfortable doing one technique, and mastering that technique, than move on to a new method. This way your are out-reaching to many different ways to help build up your downline.

Once you start this business, you are going to want to continue to grow your business, so there is no stopping on all of the different ways of trying to build up your business.

My suggestion is to use both methods of Paid and your Own methods.

Good Luck

Try not to waste your time trying to convince someone to try SFI. It would be better to just keep on moving forward to the next person.

You could give them a TC Gift Card and just ask them to check it out for themselves.

You could give them a X-Card and just ask them to check it out for themselves.

You could share with them some of the Testimonials from other SFI affiliates.
https://www.sfimg.com/saying.html

You could share with them all of the training that is available and all of the support that is available and how there are so many other affiliates willing to help anyone.

Best of all you could share with them your every own successful experiences about SFI that you enjoy or have learned.

Trying to convince someone to sign up might become more frustrating for you than for the person that you are trying to convince. It might just be better to say thank you and leave them the information and just keep on moving to the next person.

Hi All,

Duplication is so very important to learn in order for you and your downline to become successful.

I would suggest trying the following to try to get your downline to focus on duplication.

1. Have them read and understand the Basic 3 Steps plan. https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics3Steps

a. Become an Executive Affiliate every month.

b. Recruit 5 affiliates.

c. Teach your 5 affiliates to do the same Basic 3 Step plan.


2. Share with your downline the same techniques that you used to recruit your 5 affiliates.


3. Introduce your downline to all of the other Marketing and Training methods that they can use to recruit 5 new affiliates.


4. Ask your downline to create goals and a plan to help them recruit 5 affiliates, this might help them to stay focused on duplicating.


5. Introduce your downline to the Earnings Calculator https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/EarningsCalculator

By doing this, they can play around with different options on the type of income that they can earn by following the Basic 3 Step of duplication.

Great question.

In my opinion, I think that you could provide less information, but...with great details.

Be creative, but at the same time, you want to Attract attention and than you would want Action to be taken.

Be Direct and Honest and to the Point, no sugar coating is needed.

Certain advertising gives you an limited amount of space and others will give you an unlimited amount of space.

Use this space very wisely and get right to the point of your message no matter how much space that is available to you.

With more space, you could add one or two bits more of information that would add some gusto to want one to take immediate action to your ad, but don't overwhelm them with too much information.

By creating adverts in a way to Attract Attention and than wanting your readers to take immediate Action would create a better outcome for your advertising campaigns.

Sometimes, Less information can have more meaning and understanding, than More information creating confusing and boring information.

I think that you do not want to give too much information, for this could cause someone to stop reading and move on to the next ad.

Good Luck

Hello All,

Some simple steps to help you with not feeling Rejected when presenting the SFI opportunity.

1. Learn to accept the words "No and Not Interested". (As soon as you come to terms and accept the fact that some people are just Not Interested in your offer or will tell you No, it makes the Rejection a lot easier to handle.)

2. They are not Rejecting YOU, personally, they are Rejecting the IDEA of what you are offering, that they are not interested in.

3. Once you feel the Rejection starting, just stop because they are not interested in your offer and you don't want to be pushy.

If you have any TC Gift Cards, give them one and tell them, "Thank you for your time, here is a Gift Card, check it out if you would like, and have a good day."

4. A must read is Gery's "Rules of Success", Rule # 19 "Some Will, Some Won't. So What?! Someone's Waiting! Next!"
https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/ROSSwsw

Because most people aren't "entrepreneurial," rejection is natural and normal in our type of business. For every 20 people you present SFI to, expect 19 "no's" for every "yes." You may do better than that, but expect 19 rejections. This way, the rejections won't bother you. Also, realize that they're not rejecting YOU—they're simply rejecting an idea. Just keep moving ahead.

"Some will, some won't. So what?! Someone's waiting! Next!"

Memorize this and say it to yourself when rejection happens. And remember that you're now one step closer to the next "yes."

Be persistent, ignore the rejections, and you'll get more than enough "yes's" to build a successful business.

Hope this is helpful.

Hello Everyone,

When stepping into a new venture, especially if it is a unknown type of venture, it takes time to totally understand what this new venture is all about.

One could be stepping into the world of the unknown and they must start from the very beginning in learning the process and being able to totally understand and comprehend what is necessary to be able to move forward towards success.

Which would mean that one must learn and work all of the basic steps just to get started in order for them to be able to move forward. And this of course takes time which could not possibly be done in just weeks.

To whereas if someone who is more experienced in the sponsoring and sales positions, it would be much easier for them to progress in moving forward quicker and for them to be able to establish themselves towards success in a quicker amount of time.

I don't think that there should ever be a time limit on working your way towards success.

Success takes time, education, work, perseverance, commitment and dedication, which could not possibly be done in just weeks.

Hope this helps.

A. How many of your personally sponsored affiliates do you think will become Executive Affiliates (min. 1,500 VersaPoints) each month?
(This is just at the EA level not at a BTL or STL, etc... the higher the Team Leadership, the higher the cha-ching)

B. How many affiliates sponsored by the affiliates in your group do you think will become Executive Affiliates each month?

$135.30 per month after 6 months ($1,623.60/yr)
