The best SFI marketing method for a beginner will depend on the individual. Some are comfortable doing one thing while others would not be comfortable doing the same thing.

You should concentrate on informing your affiliates of all the methods that are available and then give them further help on the method or methods they choose to use.

What may seem easy and good for you to use may not suit your affiliates. By all means try and give them as much information as possible about

Both I would argue have their place in your downline, although an active PSA gives a better return than an active CSA that are spending the same amount of money and earning the same amount of TCredits.

I actively pursue both CSA's and PSA's as well as TripleClicks members.

I would not want to restrict my business by deciding not to use all the opportunities open to me, to make money or to expand my business.

You will get the bonuses for PSA's and CSA's that remain

All lines of communication should be used to help with your duplication efforts. It is a sad fact of life that many will join SFI but never do anything. There could be many reasons for this, but you should be attempting to get all of your affiliates to promote SFI and build their downlines.

If you have the facilities make some short videos and put them on your website or blog. You can also put links to them on Twitter, Facebook and any other social media sites you are a member of. The

You need to explain to them that there is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme.
There are those that have made a killing by being in the right place at the right time. There are also those that make large incomes on a daily basis but if they were to be honest with you they would tell you that they put in a lot of hours when they first started out and the money came in slowly at first.

Of course as their customer lists have grown so have their profits.

Duplication, duplication and even more duplication.

This is the best strategy you can follow to become successful within the SFI framework.

To become a PTL (platinum team leader) you need a minimum of 4000 AVP (action VersaPoints). This is why you get a monthly bonus for each of your personally sponsored leaders.

Those leaders are not very likely to stay leaders if they don't build their downlines! The best way to ensure this happens is for you to coach each and every

Which is better...doing two separate blogs about SFI and TripleClicks...or a single blog about BOTH?

A good question.

Two seperate blogs would be better than one, but do you have the time to keep two blogs running. A blog can take up a lot of time when it comes to writing articles on a regular basis. If you are going to be writing articles for two blogs then you are going to have to have the time to write or the money to pay others to write articles for you.

Some of the advantages of having two blogs running are you would be able to link them to one another. You would also

How do I convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses?

Hello Natasha. I believe this to be a good and very relevant question.

I think you have to explain to anybody that you are trying to encourage to join SFI that they are joining a real business. There is no room for the get rich brigade here.

You are not going to be offering them something for nothing and if they want to succeed they will have to put some time into SFI. They can also increase their revenue quicker by also investing some money.

Explain the figures.

Fear of success is a major problem for many people. How do you get past this with your team members?

Is it fear of success or fear of failure or possibly both that can be a major problem?

Some people do not have the self confidence to think of themselves as being a success or successful in any way.

It is up to you to convince those of your team leaders that they can do it. Explain to them how you managed to get to your position, what you had to overcome any problems you came across.

The only way to win an auction is to be the last one to place a bid for an item.

If you study the auctions for a little while you will see some items are more popular than others.

Watch what is happening at the auctions and see when people are bidding. Do not get involved in a bidding war. Make sure you set a limit of how many VPs you are going to use on any auction and if you are bidding for TCredits it is pointless using more TCredits than you are bidding for. I often see

To get the maximum benefits from being an SFI affiliate you need to copy what your upline is doing and then get your affiliates to do the same. There are manty ways of earning an income with SFI snd while I don't advocate you doing them all straight away, there is no valid reason why you can't.

I suppose I am a little cautious and want to know what I am doing and how I am going to do it before I introduce it to others.

To gain the maximum benefits you are going to need to advance
