In my opinion a new affiliate should focus on learning the SFI site, concentrating on the "TO DO LIST", SFI Basics and the Launch Pad. Posting their affiliate link where they can for practice, then telling all their friends and family about the great discounts on products. I would even set a goal to get one personal signed affiliate. This practice will start opening the doors.

A new affiliate should focus on the basics and launchpad lessons, but, if that is all they do, when there vp rolls back to 0 and they didn't get paid anything from there 1st month, many quit.
It helps to keep affiliates stay with SFI if they can even get a small payout after their 1st month. Then they know this is a real business.
So along with suggesting they learn the importance of how to check in and build their vp everyday I encourage them to start building a team of affiliates to hopefully

The first month in SFI is the time to commit yourself to work SFI for a certain period of time such as three months. This commitment keeps you going so that you can work the system long enough to become comfortable. During this commitment period you need to read, study and become involved.

I would say that a new affiliate needs to first of all learn to do the daily tabs each day, and ensure that they get into the Daily Draw. It is quite motivating when you win something there. And of course, they need to read, understand and absorb the Launch Pad lessons. What I found was that the sitemap was most helpful to me - as I could easily find a link for whatever it was that I wanted to know via the sitemap. So I would suggest that they make the sitemap a regular visiting stop. Also, I found

Studying the launchpad is important and even more important is going through the To Do List every day and earning your points.

However, and this may not be for everyone, what I did was this. I started advertising and sponsoring my first week in SFI. Did I know everything? Absolutely not. My downline made me learn everything by asking me questions. I had to look up the answers when it was something I didn't know.

I am not a person that learns from reading. I learn from doing,

A new affiliate should concentrate on reading everything there is to know about sfi, and other programs such as triple-clicks but most importantly, the getting started training as well as to finish their launchpad series training. Then they could concentrate on learning to refer and sponsor others into SFI

For the first month all new affiliates should concentrate on just THREE things.

1) Log in to SFI and doing the DAILY tasks on the "To Do" list. Also note that there a few things that can be done once or 3 times a week. Do those as well when they can be done.

After doing that, then concentrate doing the next two things at your leisure, but making sure to complete them before months end. Those are:

2) Completing ALL the actions in the "Getting Started"

All new affliates must understand that their SFI business is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. If they are interested in making this a profitable endeavor they must understand that, like any business, they must learn the basics, then start working the business through all means of advertising. They must "duplicate" through enlisting new affiliates that are willing to work as hard as them. They must understand that instant gratification must consist of small achivements that, when

A new affiliate should focus on understanding SFI and how it works. Just start at the beginning...page 1...not page 9 or 10. Don't be in such a big hurry..and take it step by step. Everything is laid out for an person to do...so be willing to follow instructions. Yes.. there is a lot to learn and read so don't get overwhelmed.

Our President always states that there is a lot to learn..and that this business is not a foot race. Just set a pace for yourself. The first month is for learning

During the first month a new affiliate should plan to invest at least 30 minutes per day and 5 hours per week should be used to concentrating on getting in the habit of completing their To-Do List and completing that day's Launchpad. Should they follow these steps they will see their forward movement with their new business as a SFI Affiliate. Reviewing the Launchpad from the day before lesson will strengthen their knowledge for each section. Secondly, they should be spending part of the 5 hours
