There are many ways to support your affiliates and not necessarily financially. As a metter of fact the financial support should only happen if you can afford it and it should be a onces off not a regular thing.

The best support you can give your downline is to lead by example, teach them what to do and do it by showing them. When they learn well and do what you have taught them, you will find out that you have all worked together to build up your team and the gains will come in financial terms which will enable you to reward them for a job well done and also enable them too to do better in the future.

Wave3 is a very helpful means that you should advice them to buy and I am guessing nobody will say they don't have $2.00, which is all you need. Wave3 cost only $1.98 and it's a onces off but the gains is for as long as SFI provides it. Then the key most important aspect of SFI is to tell others about it so you can duplicate yourself; the more hard working people on your team the more money you all make.
Look for everyday items people use in TripleClicks store, make a listing of them and advertise them.
Make Cheap hand written posters, paste them in your local area and give them to individuals, because the real money is in sales and the more sales you generate the more commissions you earn. Get your team members to do the same and to also buy the products they usually buy in shops in SFI because you earn VP for it which all translate to shares in the TripleClicks Executive pool at the end of the month (more money).

So for the sponsor, I advice you to build your own solid foundation first because if you don't it will come back and bite you in the butt later. When you are solid then you are equiped to help others build their own firm foundations. SFI Launch-Pad and Basic are your most treasured allies in the building blocks industry of SFI business.

I wish everyone a successful career in SFI.

Supporting them is how you make money. If you don't support them they will go away.
You have to send them emails from time to time and let them know you care about them. You don't have to send money, just send them positive and motivating messages, give them links to different things on SFI to help them, give them the link to SFI basics or show them how to get there.

Give them a reason to log in every day. Post in the stream and show them you're there for them.

I totally understand being broke, but we have to get rid of the poor mentality. Unless we share what we have with others and give of our time, and yes even what we have, no one wins.

SFI makes it super easy to provide support for others without spending any money. Just send out a team mail every few days or post in the stream. Don't be negative or think about what you don't have. If you have a lot of downline affiliates, you have a goldmine!

Treat them as such. They are very valuable to you and will eventually pay your commissions if you help them and keep them motivated. Otherwise you will lose them forever.

Maybe they won't respond at first, but keep on and before you know it you will have lots of movers.

Thank you for asking such an important question.

I can relate to this because I'm also in the same situation.Allow me to explain.I joined SFI with one goal in mind,to generate extra income that would drastically change my life financially from what it is currently to what I want it to be.

Supporting your downline affiliates can be done in several way using the available resources that SFI has to offer.Firstly you need to lead by example.It's all well & good to tell your downlines what to do,but if they don't see you doing what you tell them it's going to be hard for them to trust your teachings as their team leader.

Support by teaching them to do the basics which are:

* Login to the Affiliate center daily,even if it's 1 hour per day.

* Complete daily & weekly actions on the To-do list.If they don't qualify for monthly actions yet let them know it's okay they can do them later.

Always put emphasis on the fact that SFI is a free business with unlimited resources at their disposal.When used correctly this will help them advance even if they have little money to invest into their business.
For any kind of business to flourish some form of investment,whether money or working extra hours is required.

I hope my answer to your question will help.

Remember: Aim high,dream big.

In this question I'm going to address the financial point of view in running a SFI business.

First you have to perform an inventory of your downline. How many PSA and CSA do you have? How many of them are currently active? How many of them are your movers? By asking this question, it doesn't mean that you are excluding those who haven't log in at all. It is only a way to find out how much it would be for your fund to set aside as your budget in building your team. Then list down your expenses to maintain your EA, and TL. It only make sense to become TL if you have downline, for bigger payouts, better perks and more power. The whole team will benefit on this. If you are an EA, then concentrate on learning all the tools and resources available and especially in Sponsoring, because you want to start building your team.

Make a list of all the necessities involve to be able to move up from EA to TL. Are you able to support your downline, without sacrificing your Standing Order commitment? Do you have enough funds for Sponsoring? If you don't have enough funds, then you may consider to start selling TC products, this may take a little while but you'll learn at the same time, how and where to advertise. You can also ask your upline, if he can assist you, after all, we are in the process of performing Duplication.

By setting up a business plan that is within your means and working closely with your upline and the whole team, accompanied by your, consistency, determination and commitment, you'll be able to succeed.

Support can come in various forms, and doesn't have to be financial support.

For instance, if you've learned some good free marketing strategies, you can share those with your team members. How to utilize Facebook to generate free leads is a perfect example.

Provide your team members with some resources they can use to generate traffic, such as creating a list of popular free classified sites, traffic exchanges, or safelists, just to name a few.

Even offering a list of good books to read on marketing, or developing the proper mindset for success, is a fantastic way to offer support for your team.

So don't get distracted by thinking you can't provide support for your team, simply because you yourself haven't earned a lot of commissions yet. There are so many other ways that you can grow a successful team.

There are many ways to support downline affiliates.

Some that kind to mind are financial, knowledge and encouragement.

I firmly believe if you have the ability to help a Downline member financially that it could be a good idea. Im not sure I would just come out and give financial support instead I would have a contest with prizes similar to the E365 challange. The Top 3 Affiliate's in VP from sales earn a Gift Certificate. You can get creative and design the contest so its a Win-Win for all. Send out team updates every 2 or 3 days with status of the contest or post it on your leadership page.

Knowledge and encouragement are easy, just let your team members know you are there to help them and maybe send suggestion from time to time of Articles to read or information on SFI features.

A good way to support affiliates if we don't have enough ability to support oneself are as follows:

1. Trying to resolve the problem on our own.
Show it to affiliate with limited funds that we are able to resolve our problem, tell it well the stages of our lives so that we can get out of our problem.
2. Strive to provide a positive example.
A positive example is a valuable lesson for the affiliate. Show optimistic attitude to succeed in spite of limited funds. Learn all the lessons are given in SFI and use all the facilities provided in the SFI.
3. Choose an free activity.
Select free activities that can support the our success
4. Join the SFI Forum
Join the SFI Forum, in the Forum we can learn many things and can ask and interact to friends on the Forum.
5. Learn from ASK SC.

If you barely have enough to support your downline affiliates and they are truly financially challenged, show them all the ways they can earn extra income in SFI and TripleClicks. For example, you can tell them about eCards as a method of advertising. you can show them how to use any TCredits they have earned or have been given them by explaining that some auctions give you double MRP for each bid, thereby making it possible to get more TCredits or other items without spending cash. You can teach affiliates about the ECA Program and the PPA Program, as well as how to use S-Builder co-ops to build their business. Do what you can to help, even if it is a small gift certificate or a few TCredits.

One more thing an affiliate can do is to put in their E-mail signature a small text ad from the choices in the Marketing Section about SFI or TripleClicks. This takes very little effort and may pay off greatly.

There may even be ways that you can discuss with affiliates the need to change their buying habits and seeing if TripleClicks has the same items they would normally purchase regularly somewhere else. Perhaps they could spend less on some things and use that money to purchase items at TripleClicks for their business or for personal use.

There may be other ways to help, but these are a few I can think of right now.

Thank you for the opportunity to share with you my ideas. May they be helpful.

The best form of support one can provide is actually not financial support. Financial support can actually work against you unless it's used in a manner where you are sure that your affiliate has gone all out and is truly in need of this type of support. If you buy their way to EA, they will not take it seriously unless they have truly gone all out. They will become a crutch that will inevitably break.

Financial support is always one of incentive or reward. However, you will be quite surprised how powerful motivation and inspirational support is to your downline, as well, and the key points here are:

*Be consistent in your approach:

Whether it is daily team emails with quotes of motivation or weekly inspiring communications of stories of other members on the team whom are successful and started in the same boat, consistently send them, communicate words of encouragement, state with authority that quitting not an option. These are powerful methods and people whom are serious will take you seriously.

*Persistent in your delivery - passion is a powerful trait. Persistence in motivational boosts to your downline is key to your success. You can't be half in and half out. You have to lead by example and authority. If you waver and they don't hear from you for weeks then you reappear, it's will not be is as affective as they will be less apt to believe you are sincere.

*Focused on key affiliates and areas to provide support. Your downline members are all unique. Communication is essential to supporting them. If you listen to them and and ask questions that bring out pain points and why they are here, many will be inspired by success of others and your efforts of success and if they see you are moving along and growing, they will duplicate your efforts and that does not have come across as financial support. Show them how to be a success on a shoe string budget. SFI members do this today and have been for years.

Financial support will become an option at some point for you if you are successful yourself. And if you can be successful starting with no money to the point where you can provide financial downline support, you have just created an inspiring story of your own that you can and should leverage to your team to show how they can do it if you can.

I hope I did not confuse you more but the most powerful support is emotion and not material or financial.

Good luck!
