Hi Jovan,

It is really your choice whether you send a group mailing or individual e-mail or E-Card to greet your new affiliates. Personally, I prefer to send an individual E-Card to each affiliate. I also make a note on each of their page, under "notes", when I send e-cards and other messages. I use the group mailing for Newsletters and other group information.

I make sure to follow up with an e-mail to give the affiliate steps on what to do or ask how I can help.

To help motivate my team and keep them active, I answer their questions as fast as possible and make sure they understand that doing the to-do-list and launchpad is very important to get them the fastest start.
Many new affiliates on my team are from different countries and don't understand what is written on the website even if it is translated into their language. Many times this is because it's not interpreted well into their dialect. I've found that when I explain step by step for them,

Hi Jonjevic,

I am not sure what type of advertising you are using.
With any advertising it will take time to get results, so you must keep trying.

STEP 1- KNOWLEDGE

I suggest that you read and learn about placing ads and what you need to do and use.

1) Read the training articles on placing ads. I advise that you read one training article each day.

Here is where you can find advertising articles to help you.

Jiri,

Promoting price bender auctions is really easy.
You get alerts on the TripleClicks tab that allows you to "share it" to the social media as Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest. You can even send it to your e-mail friends.
I e-mail them to myself too, so I can share the pricebender auctions with my friend on my website and on my LinkedIn account.
If you go to the home page of TripleClicks there are the Deals Of The Day and Feature Auctions that you can share

Hi Alvin,

Since your objective is to build your SFI business, here are my suggestions.

Standing Order:

Placing your Standing Order is very important for building your business. You will receive 100 VPs every month you have your standing order.

If you want to have your 1500 VPs right away, I suggest the 125 T-Credits pack. This will give you T-Credits to play the Games and Auctions each day.

For advertising and receiving PSAs and PRMs, I like

Hi Abraham,

You asked an interesting question. I actually never considered it.
I really don't contact my Sponsor or Co-Sponsor, unless I have a question or they communicate with me as an individual. So, I'm not sure how often you should contact your Sponsor or Co-sponsor. I guess it's up to the individual.
I know many affiliates don't get regular communications from their Sponsor or Co-Sponsor, so I'm very grateful that I receive regular messages from both. They send many

How many hours a week do I need to devote to SFI to become successful?

Terence,

I believe that you should devote as many hours as you feel you can in order to start making money and becoming a success.
If you only log in to do the daily tasks, you are not getting the full benefits of the SFI website and your business.
In order to become successful, you need to put in about 4-5 hours a day.
This is not a hard to do.

If you owned a brick and mortar business you would probably have to be there 8-10 hours a day and work 7 days a week.

Hi Ali,

There are three ways for beginners to start marketing.

1) Pay $1.95 (you only pay for the shipping costs of the starter kit) for a Wave3 marketing kit.
This is such a great way to get your business started.
Not only do you get a decal to put on your automobile or motorcycle, but you receive so much more.
Remember, you must watch the Alerts to re-qualify each month.
This SFI program is designed to help attract new TC members which increases sales

Hi David,

It's really up to each affiliate how they use the MRPs.
There are mainly two different types of affiliates that come to TripleClicks.

FIRST TYPE - The affiliates that are working SFI and TripleClicks as a serious business
by showing up daily and doing the actions to receive perks & paychecks.
1) Selling products on their T-Connect or ECA store.
2) Using TripleClicks for shopping each month.
3) Participating in auctions and

Salamullah,

I believe that it depends on how much you are willing to spend on your Standing Order.
I try to let my affiliates know that they can purchase what's best for them and have given them these options.

You can pick what TCredits you want to purchase.
1 TCredit = 102 VP cost $1.89
10 TCredits = 1020 VP cost $18.90
100 TCredits = 1200 VP cost $29.00
125 TCredits = 1500 VP cost $36.25
