What was the best advice you ever got from your upline and how has it helped you?

The best advice I've got from uplines was actually from my Co-Sponsor at that time. ( later he has lost his EA status and I've got another Co-Sponsor, but still, that advice was the best I can get in my opinion. )
As many others here, I was so overwhelmed with the quantity of information here. Everything I've read was a great info, and I was delighted with tips posted on SFI pages, but I felt like I need some help to find there the rope begins and what would be the right order of things.
My Co-sponsor sent me a team mail, mentioning exactly that problem - "Do you feel overwhelmed?"
His advice was to start with LaunchPad and SFI Compensation Plan. He said that LaunchPad will bring more light on how this works, and SFI Compensation Plan will show me where the money is.
He also advice me to read slowly, and not to hurry as our first month in SFI is anyway our "learning month".
I decide to take that advice, and for the whole month, beside my daily tasks from To-Do list, I was so focused to read, and re-read LaunchPad lessons.
Today, I can't thank my co-sponsor enough!

What are the benefits of using an auto-responder system in SFI...or should I not use one?

You should not use them with people you know, but you should use them in online promotion there you actually don't know who will visit your website until he/she signup for email news letter / more info from you. You can include some freebies to give out just for Sign Up to make it sweeter.
With people you know, or don't really know in "offline world" but you communicate with them regularly through chat messages on some social networks / forums / Skype groups etc.. it's better to explain your offer in direct contact ( live or private messaging ). Be friendly and you will get great results.
But you can also build a nice Lead Capture Page and promote it on traffic ex-changers, safe lists, with CPC - Cost Per Click advertising networks like Google, Facebook etc. With Facebook you can go with your Facebook Page, not blog page. Make a Facebook page tab with Sign Up form on it. Make it attractive and always include auto-responder SignUp form. Why? If you don't do that you miss to make A LOT of money here! Take a look:
The most successful and highest-earning entrepreneurs know that “the fortune is in the follow-up” and capitalize on it by always following up multiple times. Indeed, according to The National Sales Executive Association, the average sale is closed as follows:
2% on 1st contact
3% on 2nd contact
5% on 3rd contact
10% on 4th contact
80% on 5th through 12th contact
That means that your auto-responder system has to have minimum 12 messages. That also means that if you don't use it, you will get only "1st contact" sales, or signups, whatever you promote. And that is just 2%!

I think the TripleClicks TCards are a great marketing tool. To whom would you give the cards to and why?

I would give them only to these two categories:
- people I know and we have a 10-15 minutes and some device with internet connection to show them how to use it, and to make them really interested for TripleClicks offers like Garage sales ( members listings ), PTP - Pick The Price, WAVE3, Pricebender Auctions...
- online I will offer them ONLY if someone is willing to really use them. How I can know that in today's online world? I would join some forums and facebook groups and talk ( chat ) with people, leave comments on their posts and see how they will react, will they ask for more info etc.

In one sentence, how do you respond when someone asks you about the business you are involved in?

In one sentence means this will be short answer :)
"SFI is in business for 14 years now and as legitimate company from US their time is yet to come, so if you join me today and you are ready to learn and work I can teach and help you how to be successful here!"
It works great for me, not only with people I know but also with online promotion.
Has anyone found an effective way to promote SFI or TripleClicks on Pinterest?

Well it works fore me to make some sales. As any other social media - you have to stay active there. That means - post something new every day. Use a share button to share products from TripleClick you like. But here are some TIPS for you:
TIP #1
Typical BUYER PROFILE ( not just member ) on Pinterest is housewife age 35-45. Promote some of many product that can be interested for them.
TIP #2
Use TALL images, for a reason no body knows TALL images attract much more visitors.
TIP #3
Than you PIN something into a text ( description ) field just put a dollar sign ( "$" ) followed by a number ( price ) and Pinterest will automatically put a price mark on the product image. If something is cheap you should use that, as more people will take a look at it.
TIP #4
Connect your Facebook and Twitter profile with Pinterest, and if you have a blog put social bookmarking buttons there. It is very easy to do if your blog is WordPress powered, log under Plugins - so many of free plugins will do the job.
This tips make me some results, hope it will work in your case also!

I must say that almost EVERY method can be effective at the same level. Including email marketing, social networks, blogging, traffic xchangers... Speaking about traffic xchanges - promote your own blog NOT SFI gateway - it's a trick, as every affiliate will promote his/her gateways so many times seen on traffic xchangers, and every memebr saw that a hundred of times. You have to do something that looks NEW and FRESH, put some eye catchy images and make it sweet ..
The point IS WHAT YOU GONNA SAY not "there". And here is what you should say about your offer
You are giving away a bunch of free stuff:
1. SignUp is FREE for one of the best online business today! No money out of pocket!
2. Internet Income Course ( 78 lessons by a famous George Little ) is FREE!
3. Through collecting VP's for FREE they can easily become E365 FINALIST and GUARANTEED prizes are: Round 1: 25 MRP, Round 2: 50 MRP and MRP are "like a money" - you can find many very cheap products on TC Shop in your local area. Beside that a several thousands chances to win TCredits and even CASH :) if they finish E365 by collecting FREE points.
If you say that, and repeat magical word "FREE" several times I can bet you will have nice results anywhere.

There is no limit just because someone is new. IF they know how to market TC products they can make money quite fast. Problem is: not so many people knows how to do that. Many great ideas can be found all over our Affiliate Center: MARKETING, TRAINING, ASK SC, FORUM. If someone is willing to read and learn he can use that very effectively. Problem is that so many people join, they are new in this kind of business but except to make a lot of money "until tomorrow". That's not how it goes. I don't make reality "sweet" I tell them right after they join what and why they should do - learn + action as best as they know / can. Some listen, others not, at least they all know what it takes to earn here as it is real internet business.
