When I was first in SFI I worked hard. It was hard work because I was learning. Now I understand a lot more about the business so I am working much more efficiently.
But after a month of hard work I got an SFI commission of about $0.79 and I was really discouraged. I thought about quitting. So, I have been right at the same place as many people who quit. I thought, "I have very little money to invest, how will I succeed." I expressed my frustration to Martha, my Sponsor.
She was great. She helped me learn about advertising for free. She did not point me to her "latest" ad site just to get me to sign up, but she directed me to her tested sites, sites that were proving effective.
She helped me understand the value of each point gaining activity. For example, she said, "When you go to the growth page, look at the names in the list of sponsors. See a name popping up often, become their A2A friend and ask, 'what are you doing?'"
She helped me get VP that I thought I could not get, like posting my banner on an ad splash page (See TC item 188327). She gave me some TCredits to buy the splash page. She showed me how to play the T-Time for more credits. And she directed me to good purchases in TC.
One such purchase really helped me a lot. It was the Duplication Paper 187187. That paper used real numbers to show me just how patience and consist action will result in success. That one thing really motivated me to hang in there. Now I am doing very well. I am not rich but my business is growing every month.
So two main points:
Sponsors, help your affiliates in tangible ways. Through the help you offer begin to build a trusting relationship.
Get the duplication paper, sponsors give your affiliates one credit to get it. It helps your affiliate, that helps you. Just check out the reviews.
