Hi Danny,.

You should be referring other people into SFI as much as you can and teach them what it is you do exactly.

By doing this you ensure your team to grow even when you do not refer anymore.
When you decide to "take a step back" that doesn't mean your working PSA's will do the same. So therefor your business keeps growing.

But like any other business you cannot stay away forever.. Every owner needs to be involved in his business to get the maximum

Hello,.

In my opinion we have no "role" in SFI
We just use SFI to build OUR business..

My "role online" is building a profitable business based on a solid team.
The business can contain Selling Items from Tripleclicks online or it can be the other way around,.. Selling online items AT tripleclicks..
Another aspect of "my business" is referring Business partners, referring artist and even just referring regular "Garage sale buyers

Hello there,..


For information about Shipping Prices I always look at the website from the USPS ( ircalc dot USPS dot gov)

There you can calculate the average shipping prices per package and per country.

Also you can consider the option of taking the average shipping cost and add that to the normal buying price.. Tah will make the product a little more expensive but you can then advertise with "FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE" for example..

Hi Edna,..

My guess would be by keep the SO and to make sure you have a working and expanding team.

When you have working PSA's in your genealogy your team will continue to expand.
If you have a standing order and your team is producing EA2's and teamleaders you should be able to keep a TL status just by having the SO points and the points you get from your team members.

But even after retirement you can still log in every day just for the daily AVP's.

I can answer this question this from my own personal experience !

I DID start all over again almost 8 months ago.

Some years ago I registered with SFI as a complete newbie.. That must be like 8 or 9 years ago, before i had my kids.
I didn't read at that time but was smart enough to figure out I needed 1500 points every month so I took a SO for IAHBE (that was the best option for a 1500 VP SO back then)..
I threw out 3 or 4 gateway-links,.. spammed some chat boxes,

I guess by the way people feel inside,..

If you are happy with what you do you are successful
If you feel proud of what you do you are successful
If you keep working even when things seems never to take off you are successful
If you meet new exiting people everyday you are sucessful
If you help people to understand what SFI is all about you also are successful

now here comes the "bombshell" :

If you even make a little or a lottle money

Hi,.

My Guess is that is you have LOT and LOTS of Tcredits the auto-bidder is perfect..
When you think the "end-price" is near it is also a good tool to use but be carefull !!

It is not that you are bidding against 1 person and although you might have 1000 TCredits to bid if you are bidding against 500 people with just 3 Tcredits you loose anyway.

When 2 BIG spenders both have an auto-bidder running the price SHOOTS up and the Tcredits SHOOT down at

Hi Navneet,.

That all depends on what your "goal" is..
If you want to purchase a Samsung Galaxy or one of those iPads you can "save" MRP's to pay for the item you prefer..

If you are in need of VP's then I would suggest bidding Double MRP auctions to obtain lot of MRP's and then buy Tcredits again with the MRP's you have earned.. This will give you MORE Sales VP's and you have Tcredits to do the same again..

I hope this will help you a little

Hi,..

I know from my own experience that ALL gateways work to attract PSA's and Tripleclicks Members.. SFI has been around for 16 years, developing and testing, Improving and expanding, so I am convinced that the banners and gateways created by them are flawless

The ones that works for me best are the "FIRST" and the "FREE" gateway but i am a strong believer that different places to put advertising needs different gateways..

Use EVERY opportunity that you can find,..!!
Use Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube, Blogs, Personal Ad Sites, and so on and so on..

Even if they just bring in 1 customer or PSA, that might be the Diamond in the rough..
Maybe that 1 PSA brings in his whole entire 1376 big Facebook Friends List ?
Who knows..

I always think: If I don't shoot I ALWAYS miss..

I can tell you what MY best way is but maybe that doesn't work for you..
