There is no success without some minimal investments. Free things are free but wont get you far enough . My strategy is to guide the new affiliates to the point they accumulate all free VP's as they can. then I will let them understand that to move beyond executive affiliate rank, there is need for a minimal investments. I will tell them the benefits of doing so like going higher in ranks, free monthly CSA's, higher commission, becoming one of the team leaders and so forth. I will not pressure anyone into investing however i will encourage them to continue with the free points while laying down the benefits of moving up and allow them to make the decision later themselves. One of the best strategies is to continue to use the stream post to highlight and congratulate those that are moving higher and this will eventually get the rest of the team in the right direction. Leading by example is one of my best strategies. That is why I make sure that anything I want me team members to do I do it first so that they will see the result and emulate it.

How to get across to affiliates that investing into SFI is smart?

Remember duplication? Show your team by example: Tell them three things - 1)How & what you have already invested in. 2) The results it delivered for you. 3) The time span between investment and return.(Be as specific as possible)

Select genuine workers who have this issue and send them a small gift to shop on TripleClicks for themselves. My Sponsor once sent me US$20 to shop on TripleClicks; what a lift I got! If you want people to invest, show them that you are prepared to invest too, in SFI AND in them.

I know his works because I experienced it myself. Go ahead and try it (make sure you carefully pick genuine workers only)The results will amaze you.

My very best with your team.

Dear Irina,

I think this is a question a great majority of us ask themselves on a daily basis. Having been an EA and up for the 8th month in a row and having recruited over 150 PSAs, I'm still asking this question myself. However, I think that the best way is to act and to lead by example.

You can't expect your team do what you don't do yourself, i.e. if you don't have a standing order, don't expect your PSAs buy standing orders, either. They will look at your profile and rate your advice accordingly. Therefore, you must always be able to back up whatever you offer with your own action of the same kind.

People are cautious about money, especially on the Internet, where most of them jump from one program to another expecting quick riches and being scammed very often. So even if they land in a program like SFI, they are very often full of negativities, especially when someone asks them to spend money where they were supposed to earn money.

So first of all - set your own standards and your own code of conduct as far as being an SFI Affiliate is concerned. Build your position, recruiting new people all the time, and teach them what you have learned yourself, including necessary monetary investment.

Contact your downline via the group/genealogy mailer here on a regular basis and share your story as it has been - pointing out where making an investment paid back in some way, and why it was worth it.

I would say, show them YOUR results, tell them that they can reach the same results, and show them the way to get these results.

Unfortunately, most probably you won't be able to do that after your first month here, so be prepared for a long time run before you see the fruits of your efforts.

Stay persistent and take action! It pays :)

First it must be clear to us sponsors what does it take to be successful here at SFI and we should be doing it ourselves before we can get the message across our affiliates that it is worth investing minimum amount of money monthly.

Observe the key factors of success here at SFI so that you know that there is a need to invest money. I don't care where will this money come from, it maybe from your earning or from your own pocket but one thing is needed, you need in to invest money to succeed.

Here are the Key factors and the minimum amount of money you need.

1. You need affiliates - Of course you can find them from free sites but it will take long time to get the affiliates you need. You need help from paid ads and you invest at least $10 per month for this.

2. You need to earn the require VPs. You need 1,500VP and you can earn only about 500 from your daily, weekly and monthly tasks, you need about 1,000VP from your purchases and you can buy 10 1TC packs that will give you 1,060 VP. This will cost about 20$.

In total you need at least 30$ to set your SFI business enroute to success. If you have more money invest them in finding affiliates.

Hope you can explain this to your affiliates. and you start doing this yourself and teach your affilaites to do the same.

Most people who are not business inclined tend to be skeptical when it comes to making payments online, this is especially true in areas of the population where online buying may not be that common, it may not be a norm for people to have debit or credit cards. Also there are reservations that are trust related. This is justified when you join a new venture.

However,I would bring up the investment bit in the second month from the time the affiliate joined SFI. This is because it is not difficult to make the minimum points required in the 1st month. This will give time to the New Affiliate to understand the business, see how auctions are conducted, how to purchase TCredits, how to refer clients to the website and much more.

Once this interest is generated, questions from the Affiliates follow on how to buy from where and this is the time to pick up on the investment and explain further the best investment options, standing order, collection of badges, converting MRPs into TCredit and other rewards. It also helps to keep the affiliates informed of your progress if you are leading them. This is a huge motivating factor otherwise giving up is EASY.

Best of luck!

First of all it's important that our affiliates know that SFI is their (new) home-based business and that they should treat it accordingly.

As with any business, there will have to be an investment of both time and money in order for the business to grow. SFI does have it set up so you can make money without spending anything, however this will really limit your earnings. In order to maximize your earning potential, the smart thing to do is invest in your business.

To begin with a Standing Order (SO) with 1,500 VP to ensure that you are at the Executive Affiliate (EA) rank each month is one of the best investments you can make.

I also encourage all affiliates to re-invest a minimum of 20% of anything they earn back into advertising. At first this won't be much, but if it can be increased slightly every month the results at the end of a year will be a pleasant surprise.

This question has being the 'bone on the neck' to many of us. Many affiliate join SFI in the believe of making it big but unknown to them that SFI is not get-rich quick business or one of those 'make $500, $1000 everyday' thing. SFI is slow and steady which required a lot of work and patience.

To induce affiliate to invest one must first educate them what SFI is all about and how they can be successful in SFI. Every business has its own rules to be successful. For example, I was a forex trader where you need to follow the trend, anytime you go against this rule, you lose money. So many businesses out there with their rules and regulations.

You must let them know that business is not for anybody but for business mindset people. So if they are not, they need to first become one if they must be successful. And for them to become one, they must be ready to sacrifice their time, energy and money. Like a saying in my tribal language 'Yoruba' in Nigeria, it says "we use money to find money". Tell them the truth; no business will generate good income without investment, without capital, without time. It does not matter how little the capital is but you must invest into any business to reap good result.

To be frank, let them know that in SFI, it’s what you sow you reap. It is better to have 5 business mindset affiliate than to have thousands non-active affiliate. I may be too rigid or direct here but that’s the truth. Let them know though they make money in SFI without investing but it cannot be compare to when they invest little money which will generate fast and large income.

Good question.
In my own opinion, I usually tell my affiliates that SFI is like their own business. If they have their individual shops, that won’t they open everyday to make sales and satisfy their customers? Most of them tell me YES. It is at this junction that I also tell them as their stock is getting exhausted, that won’t they replace items that have been sold? Likewise capital would need to be injected into the business.

In that regards, logging on to SFI is like opening your shop daily, making sales is profit to the business. Usually I encourage them to start with a budget that works well with them after explaining the importance of SFI.

1. First, I tell them SFI is free to join.
2. I encourage them to join WAV3 where they can obtain 5 t-credits and 50 MRP monthly at $1.98 for shipping.
3. Refer more people to join wav3, to get more free t-credits and MRP
4. I encourage them to participate in Pick the Price where they can get up to 200 t-credits.
5. I also encourage them as well to enter the t-time contest where there can win 2 t-credits daily.
6. Make an effort to know things that are of interest to them and link them up with items on Triple Clicks for them to make purchases
7. Then I encourage them to have a standing order on a monthly basis for them to retain their EA status and benefits for example 497action points for the month and I just tell them to purchase of 10 individual t-credits that is 102 VP per I t-credit .Purchasing 10 will give 1020 VP. Use the MRP realized from bidding to purchase another t-credit or bid in auctions that give double DP to get both action points and MRP.
8. I also encourage them by giving a gift certificate to enable them have a feel of Triple Clicks. Once they have a feel of Triple Clicks, they personally buy items on Triple Clicks that they like and invest in SFI.
9. Finally, I encourage them to participate in the auctions bid and that they may be lucky to win an item

All these points listed above have worked for me. Hope I was of help to you.

Greetings Irena and fellow SFI Affiliates

You can point out that ALL successful businesses invest in their own businesses. Without self investment no business can survive. Major companies such as Apple, Samsung, Coca Cola and MacDonalds all invest in their own businesses because they understand this fact.

The common misconception here is that affiliates are investing in the SFI or Tripleclicks business and not that they are investing in their own success.

Although having a standing order is a great investment many may not have it within their budget to do this and it is not the only investment required for SFI success. TIME is the most profitable investment here and in any business.

If a person invests their time wisely and follows the SFI system they will create the funds needed to re-invest into their own business. The there is no need to take income from their own pocket.

To do this an affiliate must understand the SFI business system. Unfortunately many new affiliates give up too soon or try to rush ahead without understanding how the system works.

My recommendation to all affiliates:

1. INVEST time into understanding the SFI system first

2. INVEST time into taking the required actions to build a profitable SFI business that will generate a monthly recurring income

3. INVEST time into building a team of affiliates through sponsoring

4. INVEST time into teaching your team of affiliates to duplicate exactly what they have done that is successful

5. Enjoy the time you INVEST by becoming involved with others who are working in their SFI business

6. Enjoy the success that you achieve

7. Enjoy the fact that you have been able to help other people be successful through the INVESTMENT of your time

You will be rewarded when you INVEST your time wisely and help others to understand that the time they INVEST will also bring them success

Have a good TIME :-)

Hi Irena,

This is an excellent question? When you want someone to part with their money there is always some hesitancy. So you need to convince your Affiliates why they must do so by providing a justification. These can include the following:

1. Tell them how it has benefitted you. As their leader show them you are doing it and it has benefitted your own SFI business. You have to lead by example and this can be seen by the badges you have for example Standing Order (SO). If you do not invest yourself it will be hard to convince your own Affiliates.

2. You have to tell them the actual benefit they derive by investing some minor amounts of money. One good example would be becoming a Wave3 member. The cost of the investment is USD1.95 but the moment you fulfill the requirements you get 5 TC’s and 50 MRP every month. If you buy 1 TC it costs USD1.98. Showing the maths always helps.

3. Tell them about other types of investment like raising a Standing Order (SO) with 1500VP. One I can suggest is the Credit Pak-125 SO which costs USD36.25. You get 1500VP and automatically maintain your EA rank plus 100 VP (Action Points) every month if your SO is active. If you spread the cost over 30-day month it averages USD1.21 per day. Furthermore they can use the TC’s and participate in Auctions earning more VersaPoints.

4. Share with them Rule No 1 of the Rules Of Success- “Treat your business like… like a business”. If you have your own business you need to invest to grow your business to increase your profits. This applies to the SFI business too because it is no different. Please bear in mind that SFI provides you to start with ZERO investment and you can continue to do so but your returns are small and slow.

5.Earning VersaPoints (VP) is important because the more you earn the more share your get from the TC Executive Pool. The first 2 months you can get by making EA but subsequently you need to explore your other income streams like Direct Commissions, CSC etc. Your are now looking at investing.

6. Tell them that SFI is not a Get Rich Quick Scheme.

7. Finally I want to share an old Chinese saying “Put Money, Take Money”

Thank you.
