Many of our affiliates specially from third world countries have difficulties on making a standing Order because they either don't have credit cards or the credit cards in their countries are not honored online.

We should help them get their Standing Orders because Standing Order is beneficial to everybody. It is beneficial to the affiliates because they do not have to worry about the monthly requirements to requalify as EA. It is beneficial to the sponsors because we get the commission. Beneficial to SFI because all our income here are from sales.

Payment in SFI should be done according to the hierarchy of convenience. The most convenient of course is credit card but in it's absence the next methods are as follows.

1. Through Paypal - You find out whether Paypal is present in your country, they find out how you can put funds in your Paypal account. If paypal is not present in your country, see if you have relative abroad and ask him to open a paypal account for you. You can ask him to fund the paypal account and pay him locally. Be creative in getting a paypal account and figure out how you can fund and withdraw from that account. If this will not work for you then go to the next.

2. Look for LocalPay in your country - Go to your Member Center in TripleClick and you can find there a link of the list of Local Pay agents. or this link https://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/LocalPay/Directory.php. Then contact the person. I am sure they can help get the Standing Order.

3. Talk to other affiliates from your Country - Find out who are the leaders in your country and ask them to be your a2a friend and ask for help. Ask help also from the Forum and call the attention of your countrymen to help you. It will be long that you will get some helpful answers.

I am very glad and eager to answer this question because This is my main source of PSA this time.

We are presently doing a bazaar in a mall for 6 months. We have a 2x2m. space inside the mall and we are selling RTW's.

When we started this Bazaar, I printed a thousand SFI business cards with my affiliate link. I put a small print ads at the corner of our Bazaar, the ads reads "FREE Guide to Internet Income" with arrow pointing to my pile of business cards. I am consuming 20 to 100 cards per day. And having 5 to 10 sign up daily.

This is just one idea of marketing SFI in a free standing kiosk like our Bazaar. But in case you do not have your own place. One thing you can do is talk to the owner of the kiosk and negotiate if you can put your small ads and box of business cards.

Aside from business cards you can also distribute flyers.

The assumption here is your affiliates have started working and you want them to keep going, or, these could be affiliates who have started working but for some reason they are contemplating to quit. Majority of these happen at the second month in SFI.

It is very important to know why affiliates quit, so that we can address them with your affiliates.

There are major reasons why affiliates quit SFI. I am citing here five and will share how to address them.

1. They are overwhelmed and can not understand SFI-TC business model. - In this case, you as a sponsor should take time to read and study the ins and outs of SFI and TripleClicks and you should learn to simplify them to your affiliates.

2. They don't have the capacity to buy. - You should teach them how to sell items from TripleClicks, I know that this is easier said than done, but teaching them strategies will keep them busy and challenged to continue. Again you should learn these strategies yourself first and be sure you are doing it too. You can contact me later for some strategies.

3. They find it difficult to recruit affiliates - Again you should teach them both the paid ones and free methods of recruiting affiliates. Many of these methods are discussed at SFI website. Click on Marketing Tab and you will theme there. Again you should learn them yourself first and simplify them and share them to your affiliates.

4. They don't have time anymore unlike when they first started - Help just to do the minimum, and if they have money, you can help them say in paid ads, they can do the work for them as they give money.

5. They have doubts that SFI maybe a scam . - If you have earned income and bank them already then you can tell them or you can ask you upline too to testify that SFI is real, or you can ask me hehehehehe..

Those are the major reasons why affiliate quit SFI. Let me put here at the last the first thing you should do before you can encourage them not to quit. Engage them them in a conversation and befriend them. It will be easier for you to communicate and be heard.

The winning bid that we want to predict at Pricebender is completely random. But we are not totally blind with information. We know at least the range of the winning bids by scanning through the records of winners.

We can use two kinds of strategies.

1. We can use logical prediction. - This means, you look at the value of items out for bidding and the the types of bidding methods. (regular, first time, junior, big dog, double MRP, and No auto bidding).

You can look at the records of each item bid within the range of the winning bids. It is good to choose 1 bid price for same item with such method of bidding method and stick with it until you win.

2. We can use scientific statistical analysis. - I have done this myself, I down loaded 6 months of winning data and put them in excel. I sorted it according to item.

Then each item I also sorted it according to time that it was won (24 hours). from this classification, I took the average.

After that I made a matrix, with different items in rows versus the 24 hours in a day in the column. I put the average winning bid at the intersection cell.

I use it to predict the winning bid of certain item at a certain time. I stick to that number until I win. So, far so good.

note: Instead of average (mean) you can also use the mode- the highest number of winning bid occurrence.

Very seldom we get affiliates who are very eager to earn. If they are not guided properly they will soon noticed that they are spending more than they are earning. Then they will start complaining same as what is asked in this question. The worst is they will quit soon.

So, proper guidance and setting the right expectation is the key to avoid this types of complains. Here are some ways to set the right expectations for our affiliates.

1. They must understand that almost all of our earnings at SFI are coming from sales. It is ether coming from your own sales or you get a share from the sales of others.

There are two ways to make your own sales from SFI-TripleClicks:

a. You sell to people outside of SFI - when they buy they become your PRM and you get 45% of CV plus the VP for that item. - This is a little bit difficult to do.

b. You sell to people in your team of PSA's and CSA's - All your active PSA will soon buy even if you don't tell them to buy. You will get 45% and 15% of CV respectively from these sales - This is easier to do, BUT you need to find PSA and CSA in order to get this money.

There are also two ways to get share from the sales of others.

a. Through Executive Pool - 40% of CV company-wide is distributed to all qualified affiliates. Your share is based on the VP you earned personally and the VP you harvested as Matching VP. The requirement here is you must be a team leader to harvest your matching points from your down lines who reach at least EA2.

b. Through the ECA program - 10% of all the sales of your recruited E-Commerce affiliates (selling at TripleClicks) will also be your.

So, they must understand that if they can not build their team of active affiliates (PSA, CSA, PRM and ECA) and maintain a rank appropriate to their growing affiliates, they can not expect to earn. This is the expectation that we should set and clarify to our affiliates.

2. We should introduce them to some free stuff that they can get from SFI without spending.

a. Joining the Daily Grand - Encourage them to complete the daily task and join the draw. They can earn many prices there.

b. Joining the T- Time - they can earn 2TC a day and they can join 24 times a day until they win.

c. Playing some Free games - The first two games are free to join and they can earn many rewards too.

d. Introduce them to the great information inside SFI. Many of this information are very valuable that they can use on other internet earning programs.

These are the things that we can point out to our affiliates so that they would get the most as SFI affiliates.

This is a very timely question, because website or blog is now playing big role in SFI marketing and those who don't have one yet I strongly encourage you to have one.

Majority of the major social networks like FaceBook are no longer accepting majority of our gateways (links) from SFI. This is the reason why we need website or blog.

The second reason is to have free signups when the search engines (like google, bing and yahoo)started to notice our website/blog.

If you can not do it yourself, there are ECA's who can do them for you for very reasonable price.

Those who can do it yourself here are my tips in how to make it useful for SFI marketing.

1. On the design aspect:

a. Make your topmost section as your splash page. That when someone go to your blog/website they will be invited to join SFI immediately. You can also make this a separate page, but lessening the number of clicks will help your visitor. - This is called accessibility. Important information must be accessible upfront.

b. The middle part. That's where you can put the normal content of your website/blog. Which will include your posting, some videos and banners.

c. The bottom part - you can use them to put some other ads to your other internet program that support your SFI business.

2. On Cost:

Minimize cost by avoiding recurring monthly charges on hosting. Use Blogger or Wordpress to build your site then if you want a dot.com address just buy a domain and direct it to you website/blog.

3. On Search Engine.

Always put original and useful content and post content regularly. Content is still the king for search engine. You can read some SEO techniques but never compromise on content.

I am willing to help. You can me later when our names are revealed.

Most of the participants in Micro auctions are newbies and inexperienced. So, you do not have to worry much on the big guns. You are the same status in that category.

You can make use of this situation of having newbies opponents to your advantage, by observing lots of bidding in TripleClicks and take note of the ways the items are won. That will be your greatest experience.

You will observe that winning Micro auctions (or any other auction) will greatly depend on your number of TC and Timing.

If you have 100 or more TC try showing your muscles early and see if you can intimidate your opponent. Pour out about 20 TC and observed if your opponents will buckle down their tails. If someone there challenge you, stop and use the second method.

This second method is use also if you have limited TC. Wait for the "Winning Moment" - The winning moment is when the timer is now reaching the end.. (you will see the going once... going twice warning) and no one is in auto bid.

Unload 10 to 20 TC and see if they will allow you to reach the end. Just continue until you win or others will challenge you again. If someone challenge you, stay with another 20 TC and see if they will stop if not then stop and wait for another winning moment.

Note however that your are bidding with intelligent people, you can not dictate their behaviors, so the bidding will be dynamic, use your common sense together with these basics that I shared. The reality is no one can really be sure of winning but you can raise your chance of winning.

I like this question because it's an indication that someone has understood that PSA's are indispensable to our success here at SFI. If you will not find PSA you might as well quit SFI because it is almost certain that you will not succeed.

Success in SFI will greatly depend on how fast you can build active PSA's. So get PSA's as early as possible according to your ability to recruit off line and online matched with your resources.

Buying PSA is necessary specially if:

1) You are busy and don't have time to recruit your own PSA.

2) When you do not know how to recruit online or offline.

3) When you want to build your Team as fast as you can.

Start all sort of recruiting PSA as soon as you understand and convinced that PSA is indefensible. You can do all methods of recruitment including Buying PSA, simultaneously.

Be aware however, that PSA's bought from any source are of less quality, because some of them are paid to sign-up. Set your right expectation so that you'll not get frustrated. Generally you only get 0.1 to 2% of purchsed PSA to be active.

The expenses of buying PSA is not heavy if you get it from your earnings, so strive to earn first if you have limited resources.

Here at SFI, Team leaders should initiate communication. Because we have our best interest at stake we should not use a means of communication based on our convenience but based on what our affiliates wants to communicate with us.

We start our communications with:
1. Chat facility if we see them on-line and logged in at SFI.
2. We send them message through SFI.
3. Through email.

With these three initial communications we should open up other venue where they can choose to communicate with us. Like, your phone number, Skype, FaceBook, Yahoo messenger and others.

The interested affiliates will surely contact you in the way they wants to communicate. That is the the best way to communicate to this particular affiliate.

For those who are not responding just continue to send them group message.
