How do you ensure that the TCards you send out are used...and what do you do when they are not?

To me, using the TC Gift Cards are like planting seed in the ground: It takes time to fully see the harvest.
True results will only be measured over time. Let's say you buy a 50 pack of Gift Cards, and you distribute them out in a week. Assuming only a ten percent response rate, here are the realistic results:
30 people will never use the Gift Card.
11 people will use the Gift Card, then throw it away.
4 people will not have a clue.
Which means only five(5) people will not only use the Gift Card, but will want to participate in the Pricebenders auctions by purchasing more T-Credits.
Assuming they buy the 50 T-Credit pack, think about how much you made from your little investment?
Bottom line: Don't think about the whiners, tire kickers and posers. Expound your energy on those who choose to win.

I Love SFI and TripleClicks! How can I help SFI and TripleClicks become well-known around the world?

Julia,
You enthusiasm is just the beginning. How large you want it to get is entirely up to you...
It starts with example. As I said, enthusiasm is just a start. There are many different avenues you can use to pursue this quest:
1. A blog that describes both SFI and Triple Clicks in a easy to understand way;
2. A capture page;
3. Showing off things you won at a Triple Clicks auction; remember, evidence speaks-it just doesn't work in a court of law;
4. Wearables, such as t-shirts and hats;
5. Business cards, flyers and posters.
But the best way to promote? Your purchases will open doors that can't be opened any other way.
So keep your excitement! Believe me, it's contagious, and others will notice.

What methods can I use to attract college students to join SFI?

To be honest, you don't have to do anything special to attract college students, or anyone, for that matter. Just let them see your excitement and enthusiasm for the SFI business. That will attract people more than your words.
The SFI Gift Card is a great marketing tool. Everyone(not just college students)likes the sound of FREE! Distribute them out to excited prospects...and let them know that when they join SFI, they can get paid doin' the same thing.
Bring an auction item you won(short of T-Credits).When they ask you where you got it from, you can then point them to the TripleClicks site. When they see the excitement of bidding on auctions we have there, they will want to get in on the action, too-which means more sales for you.

Thousands of SFI affiliates are doing the same thing. How do you stand out from the crowd?

The best way to stand out from the crowd is also the most obvious: Lead by example.
It would be very hypocritical to ask your Affiliates to do something that you are NOT doing! 'Do as I say, not as I do' doesn't working in parenting-and it sure doesn't work in a business.
So, do what you know to do. Log in everyday. Keep tabs with your PSA's and CSA's. Maintain that Standing Order. Encourage. Teach. Inspire. Participate.
Be the fish that swims against the current-and I promise you, you will raise up a new generation of SFI Affiliates that everybody wants to become.

First of all, there is no 'pat' answer to this question. As a Current/Future Team Leader, you have only three jobs to do:
1.Motivate
2.Inspire
3.Excite
On that basis, create your message as if you were writing it to yourself. You don't like boring, pat letters, right?
Let him/her know that you are happy they have joined SFI, and especially that they're a part of your team!
Next, let them know that you are available. This will help you more than you'll ever know. Then follow up!(Very Important!!!)
Teach! But lead. Hypocrisy is the death knoll of many a leader. DON'T let it happen to you!
Finally, get excited! This is only the beginning of an exciting journey as you inspire your PSA's and CSA's to do likewise as you do...
And the gift goes on...and on...

Rick Warren said in The Purpose Driven Life, 'If you want to know how something works, the best person to ask is the creator of it.'
It is the same with you. There are no shortcuts to success. Real success(in anything) requires effort, willingness to learn and a commitment of time.
SFI has a clear cut formula to success for every Affiliate. All one has to do...is follow the instructions, and you can and will succeed. If you're not sure how something works, there's always help available-by asking your Upline Sponsors, a2a Friends, fellow Affiliates, or even Gery himself.
Forget shortcuts. The path is out in front of you. Just follow!

Is SFI good for students (18 or older)? Why or why not?

Before I begin, please understand that I'm not discouraging ANYONE from getting a college degree. College is an awesome venture to undertake. But take a long guess where our college graduates are working. Does Starbucks ring a bell?
Sadly, in our economic whirlwind, most graduates don't end up with a job-only debt. Two-thirds of college graduates end up working in jobs OUTSIDE their major.
A wise man once said, 'Education without application makes you an educated fool.'
And that's the state of our world as we speak.
SFI not only offers you education-but a chance to apply what you are learning in real-time, practical ways. You not only learn but you get to teach others as well. A total win-win for everyone.
So is SFI good for students? I will say it's good for ANYONE willing to be taught. The avenues are wide open to all.

What long-term goal(s) should an affiliate be setting for themselves?

For some people, being in SFI is another stream of income to supplement their regular job. For others, they have dove in with both feet, running their SFI business full-time.
The answer to that question varies with the individual.
But I reality, nobody desires to be mediocre-otherwise, they wouldn't have joined in the first place! Three universal goals come to mind, however:
1. Become the best learner. Learners are earners.
2. Participate.(This one is obvious, but that's where many people miss it.)
3. NEVER, and I MEAN NEVER, be afraid to ask questions.
And most importantly: Have Fun! SFI is a fun business run by rugged individuals who weren't afraid to step out. Do those four things, and everything else will fall into place.
Set your goals high, but achievable. Then celebrate as you take each important step toward freedom.

Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

To properly answer that question would depend upon your motive in doing so.
If your goal is to reward fast starters or acknowledge a milestone reached, then by all means, GO FOR IT! This is merely a small investment in the future of your business.
On the other hand, if you're attempting to 'convince' someone to join or stay with SFI, it wouldn't matter what you offered them. They got to want it themselves, not by you 'begging' them.
Times are hard. Many people attempt to put on a façade of success, when in reality they're one check away from living on the street!
Consider this: What will help a man in the long run-giving him a dollar every day, or showing him a legal means to make dollars(or euros, krone, rubles, etc)?
Your mission is to show them the way. There's plenty of gold just ripe for someone to get. All they have to do is just dig.

YOU be the example. On your T-Connect Page(and on all screens for that matter)are the badges you've earned, as well as your Versa Points(both collected for the current month and accumulated). A curious person who just beginning their business and see the badges on your page and ask themselves, 'How can I earn that?' Then you have the opportunity to inspire them to actively stay involved in their business.
Other than that, encourage them to do the things that build their business DAILY: checking their messages, logging in, participating in the Pricebenders auctions, etc.
