This is a great question asked by Alvin Johnson. There are several reasons for become inactive after joining in SFI.
People’s do often inactive after joining not only in SFI but also in other affiliations like Amazon or eBay. Every where reason’s are the same:---

1. After registration very difficult to trust to see without any proven earner in SFI. We know that many websites are giving advertisement to recruit new affiliates every day. So very difficult to find out which one

This topic needs a lengthy discussion which is out of scope here. But to keep it short, let us just touch the basic points. If we can ignore the problem of tier-kickers, we can discuss some very important reasons which can be eliminated easily. To do so, let us first analyse which are the people that get success in SFI.

Go to the All Affiliate leaderboard, and you will find that 7 out of the first 10 positions are held by affiliates from USA, 1 each from British Colombia, Croatia and Serbia.

Most affiliates join not only SFI for the thrill and curiosity of wanting to know more, unfortunately many of us sponsors fail to observe this trend and instead focus on collecting the number of affiliates and not the quality.

How then do you build a quality team?
1. By following up! This is key in every situation that involves prospecting. If we do not follow up, we will never know what challenges our PSA's face or what hinders them from moving forward.

2. Do not bring

I feel to many people expect everything for nothing without the participation.
Some do not understand how to participate. Are not willing to read and study.
Some have a language barrier and SFI is just way over their head.
Others have no incentive to learn.
They jump from site to site in search of that quick dollar.
Some also receive no support from their sponsors.

I stress to all my team.
Sick of the hype, promise’s, failure to deliver & lack of support

There is basically one reason why so many affiliates become inactive shortly after joining SFI.

It’s not because they are just tire kickers, lazy, looking for easy income, don’t have the time or money, don’t have the skills needed, don’t believe in themselves, are overwhelmed, skeptical, lack vision, etc., etc.

The basic reason is because we recruit people who become inactive shortly after they join.

The problem goes back us, the recruiters. The recruiting

Hello readers,..

My guess is that a lot of affiliates are doing other things online at the moment they sign up.. If for some reason the welcome email doesn't arrive ( Like it does with so many yahoo addresses and more ) then a lot of them do not even remember signing up ?
Or they go to sleep and forget SFI..

It is up to us as sponsor to try and find that person so we can connect with them and then they can connect with SFI again..

If you want to have quality

For many people, the amount of work involved to be successful can be overwhelming, and this can cause a person to stop working. For others, they enter SFI with an attitude that they are going to get rich overnight and when they find out that it is a slow and steady process, they give up because they are looking for a quick fix rather than a permanent business venture. Along with those two groups of people, there are some who join SFI but do not have time to invest in the program yet. They have

This is a reality that we live with everyday and it comes due to some facts which are,

i. In a group that you target with information about SFI opportunities, you will find out
that 80% don't know what you're talking about while 20% know what you're talking about.
People out there don't see the same opportunities that you see in SFI. Sponsor them and you
have a lot of work to do.
ii Of the 20% that know what you're talking about, only a quarter have

There are so many reasons for many affiliates becoming inactive shortly after joining SFI.

Inactivity will set in soon after joining while still trying to understand the SFI procedures. After only a half-hearted attempts at doing the Daily tasks, with a sprinkling of VPs here and there, they stopped altogether, confused. Instead of seeking help, or accepting the offer from their sponsors, they decide right there and then that SFI is not for them- not what they are expecting, whatever

People often procrastinate because they fear the unknown. Without a clear path they will not follow. This is where one must exhibit a talent of communicating vision.

Many years ago my dentist moved me to floss everyday. He spoke in a graphic way to the point I was seeing pictures in my minds eye. This is called vision. If one does not have vision they will not move in the desired direction.

When one visits the SFI Affiliate Center Home Page they will often freeze because they
