SFI and TripleClicks is a program aimed for the "Long Haul" as I found out. An affiliate has to to think "I'm gonna do it, I might not have too many downline guys now or anything but what will it be like down the road?" I like the idea of treating SFI as a changeling adventure and always wonder who am I gonna meet on the road - as Hunter S. Thompson once said~"Buy the ticket, take the ride".
I have a large downline, but few are advertising SFI. How can I get them to start advertising and marketing SFI?

I agree with both J. P. Mombert, BTL (Belgium) and Rebecca Beasley, AFF (Kansas, US)about the newbies as new sign-ups more than likely haven't ever signed up on SFI and don't know what to do and you can't make the new affiliates do anything, they have to take action on their own. I would use the Genealogy Report everyday in condensed view to see who is making the most VP and signing in almost everyday and check your red "Moves" tab as well everyday. After determining who the movers are contact them by a team mail and encourage them to use FREE advertisement sites and other ways to market - think outside the box. It's a good idea not to twist anyone's arm as we all know human nature will rebel on nagging someone to to take action; well most anyway. You husbands know what I'm talking about LOL. Anyway I would use regular email and SFI's Team Mailer and make nice suggestions about marketing and this is important; make sure you tell them that you and the other affiliate win (A WIN WIN Situation) everyone wins on SFI!

I have many affiliates in my genealogy that haven't been active for weeks. Should I just ignore them?

No, don't ignore them, it's always hard to tell whats going on with them. Some are curious find out you gotta buy stuff and don't like that idea and/or don't bother to really pay attention and read the launch pad lessons or other corp posts and give up, some simply don't want to work and want something for free or something? The only ones that come back with any comments from my team messages and email are my sponsor and co-sponsor. Oh-yeah, I hear from a few a2a friends. I never hear from CSAs' I do hear from 2 PSAs once in a while. I send out team mails and email all the time so they know I care and keep tabs on them. I do feel some have just abandoned SFI but I'm going to do what I can to remind them I'm here if they want to come back, I'm always here to help out. Sluggo is in for the long ride!

How much should an SFI affiliate spend on advertising each month?

I would go on a budget on what an affiliate can afford and it all depends how much a site charges and everything, go as cheap as you can each month because if you pay a lot you still might not get a lot of hits. The way to advertise is by volume, in other words, you have to send out a bunch of ads over a period of months. I go as cheap as I can but maximize the ads by going to good traffic sites. S-Builder is one of the good ways to advertise for a reasonable price. If you have a blog or website, it is good to advertise there with SFI and TripleClicks banners as you pay for a website host for your website unless you have one of the free ones. As for the free websites you can still advertise with banners!
