There is so much to do other than the daily To Do List.
But let´s pay some attention to the daily To Do list first, because I feel it is often undervalued. It is sometimes very clear, especially from forum posts, that some affiliates click through the red tabs simply to collect the VPs, but are not really reading and absorbing the information provided on them.
It is very easy to say your daily tasks take only 15-20 minutes, but if that is all the time you devote to them, you will not see much progression and success will take you longer, if at all. You should let the daily tabs guide you through further learning and activity in growing your business, which is what you need to be doing besides collecting VPs.
Most of the tabs include links to resources elsewhere within the site, all of which will add value to your business, but only if you research and use them. For example:
Tips tab - read the Power Tip. How can you use this? Click the link for more Power Tips and see if you can use more of them. Ask SC Answer of the Day - do you find this useful? Click on the title of the question to read more answers on the subject. Do you like the answer given by that particular affiliate? Click on the link given to read more answers from that affiliate.
TC tab - lots of links here for you to browse newly listed products. Look for products that fit your niche or that you can promote to friends/family/social media. Don´t know how to? Then click on the links to training in the ´Grow your SFI income selling TripleClicks products´ section at the bottom.
The same applies to the ECA, EZ and PB tabs. They all have more information and links to show you how to promote them.
Ask SC tab - just jam-packed full of help for you to succeed! Do not underestimate the value of this tab.
I am not going to go through them all, but you should get the picture. Don´t just click through the tabs to collect the VPs, really take the time to STUDY and find new ways to move forward and succeed.
Your daily tasks should not take you 15-20 minutes if you really want to succeed. They should take you at least one hour, especially if you are new to SFI.
Now, after this, you should have more ideas and a plan for what more you can do, in that day and beyond.
You will also be better prepared to help your downline, which is a priority task. Make it one of your first daily activities to help any of your team who have contacted you for help.
Did you learn something new, from the tabs or from your own experience, that you can use to teach your downline? Has there been any new developments within the business? Use this to create a newsletter, or to write up a new blog post on your website.
If you update your website, spend some time promoting your article on social media. Or promote some of your previously written articles.
If you don´t have a website, or you don´t have an email list of prospects, spending some time learning how to do these things. Anybody looking to create a steady and sustainable online business for the long-term future really needs to develop in this area. Don´t expect to see immediate results, it will take some time before you do, but if you don´t start this, your long-term success will be significantly hindered.
Spend some time using classified ads, traffic exchanges and email advertisers to promote your gateway, or better still, to drive traffic to your website and improve your search engine ranking.
If you don´t think you are very creative or very good at creating adverts or website content, then study the ones you see on the traffic exchanges. Which ones attract your attention? Take tips from them to create your own.
These are all things I do regularly. I was completely new to this kind of business when I began and still have a way to go, but working on these things is all heading towards success.
I hope it gives you some helpful ideas.
