I believe putting CSAs into the exchange is very advantageous to both you and the CSA. The CSA gains from being matched with someone from his own country, region and language. this makes it more likely that he will become active.
You receive in exchange a CSA from your own country and most likely speaking your language, making communication much easier between you and also making it more likely the CSA will respond and become active.

I believe the number one product to purchase to help build your SFI business would be TCredits. I think the best purchase is to buy multiple 100 or 125 packs as a standing order, if you can afford it. For instance, 3 packs of 100TC gets you 3600VP, a single pack of 300TCredits on a Standing order is 2500VP.

The really good news is that only one pack of 125 TCredits monthly keeps you qualified as EA.
TCredits are my number one pick because you can use them many different ways to

I think the very best product to put on a Standing Order is TCredits. They definitely are consumable and help me build my business in numerous ways. My next pick is the SBuilder Co-op.
All my shares go to my affiliates to help them build their businesses.

These products, though, do not really fit the definition of "transfer buying," that being something that I buy locally, use and buy again. For transfer buying my picks are household cleaners and supplies, nutritional

My purpose in joining SFI was to build a business and add to my income. This has certainly begun to change my life, as I am less worried about retirement. But a wonderful blessing that I had not considered before joining is the number of amazing new friends and acquaintances made since joining.
I particularly enjoy the opportunity to make international friends and to gain a better understanding of other cultures. I especially enjoy terrific relationships with three of my CSAs whose determination

Tips in my welcomes to new PSAs are brief and not too numerous.
Generally I do not give them as bullet points, but simply include them in the flow of the message.

The best tip I can give my PSAs is to take their SFI business seriously and log in and go to work every day. I tell them how to login to the homepage and where to go when they get there.

Other tips include going to my leadership page where there is valuable information; and contacting me using my contact information,

When I first signed up for SFI, I was searching for a good workable program. I didn't start with SFI right away, but kept looking, joining, eliminating, getting burned.....I was a tire kicker for sure!
Eventually I settled on SFI, when I had more time to devote to it, and when it had stood the test of time. (Most of those other programs I joined were dead and buried, along with my time and money.)

My focus has changed in that now everything that I do on line is done with SFI in

We can click red tabs til we are blue in the face, we can play games until the end of time, we can promote for signups until there are none left to sign up, but if there are no sales, no one makes any money!

Teach your team transfer buying. They are going to buy cleaners, nutritionals, personal care products, etc. anyway. Teach them to find and buy them at TripleClicks, then encourage them to teach their downline.

Post information about products you like and use in the appropriate

There are lots of ways to use stream to interact with your team.
Here are just a few. I am sure there are many more:
1. Use stream to recognize members' rank advancements each month (and each advance if they happen to earn two or more advances in a single month!)
2. Send out timely reminders such as setting goals by the 10th. Every month I send out a reminder around the 25th to start a review of that month's goals in preparation to set the new ones, then a few days later a very

My first method of gaining affiliates is to purchase them with a standing order for SBuilder Co-op.
It takes some time initially to get the first signups, but if you maintain a standing order for SBuilder,
they will flow in a fairly continuous stream for as long as you keep your order in.

PSAs can also be purchased if you have the budget for it, from TripleClicks at PSAs To Go.
This is a good way to get PSAs quickly, however, no one can guaranty the quality of any new

Advertise for them in your own free advertising resources, such as the traffic exchanges and safelists you use. Let them know that you are doing this for them to help them build their business. You can list them in rotaters and advertise for several at a time by using a variety of the gateways SFI supplies. If they know you are doing this for them they will be more inclined to stay active.
Do not assume that because you do not have funds to invest in your PSAs/CSAs that they do not have
