For me, I think the most overrated SFI activity is in Advertising. All the Affiliates’ energy seem to be concentrated in it as it is often the top topic I come across in every forum and people put so much importance in it for obvious reasons.
If one had been in the internet business for a long time and had been involved in more than one internet business apart from SFI, then one is sure to be knowledgeable in this activity. But pity the ones who are new and technically challenged! Although SFI provides free training and support and experienced Affiliates are so unselfish in sharing, it is not enough for others who have no idea what to do.
So we have to learn how to work smarter. By buying a share in the S-Builder Co-op and other shares promoted in TripleClicks to help build our team. It is the only way to go and not rely on one’s ability and skill in putting sponsoring or selling ads in every means.
The most underrated SFI activity is in promoting Gift Cards. More explanation should be given on how best to explain to our customers on how to redeem them. A number of gift cards given to family and friends and occasional strangers never got redeemed as they don’t understand how to use them and did not understand what TCredits and MRPs are! If it was meant to entice them to check TripleClicks and participate in Pricebender auctions, it failed to do so. If Gift Cards can be used for the amount stated in the card ($12), and use them to buy items at TripleClicks for that amount, then we may have a bit of success. This is one of the best tools SFI introduced so far and it has the potential to create more sales for us and more income.
