The fastest way to build a team of affiliates is to advertise, advertise, ADVERTISE and don't stop advertising.

Seriously though, with your advertising, you may get hundreds of new signups into your team (depending on where you advertise). You can even get 100 signup tomorrow if you are willing to pay for guaranteed signups. But there is no guarantee that all these signups will be active.

Once you get your new signups, the trick is to find out if they are really interested

Perhaps it is better if they start using TripleClicks products first it might be easier to promote it to others?

After all, if someone is convinced of something, like a good supplement, a good cleaning product that does the trick, good customer service, etc, the way the user promote something to others has a different ring to it than someone who promotes a generic product to external customers.

So perhaps you might want to buy the Natural All Purpose Cleaner and give them as

Besides the daily action, the most important thing you must do is to build your team. And how do you do that?

1) Advertise SFI everywhere you can think of. Some people prefer online advertising, some people prefer offline. You can do a mixture of both.

2) Once you start getting people in your downline, you should start supporting them. This means welcoming them and letting them know that you are here to help them.

No 1 should be easier than no 2. I say easier because

The MRPs that you have collected can be used to buy anything from TripleClicks, depending on the MRP price of that item.

The question of which is the best actually would depend on the individual.

1) You can use it to collect VPs. This happens when you buy TCredits. If you buy any TC Direct item with MRPS, you still get the VPs attached to it. This won't happen if you buy from ECAs.

2) You can use it to test a service. Like traffic or PSAs from an ECA. You won't

Should I or shouldn't I try to recruit people to become SFI affiliates when they are not English speakers/readers?

You should recruit people no matter what language they speak/read.

If they speak and read english, then it would be easier for them of course. They can be independent.

If they don't speak or read english, but they speak the same language as you do (like Malay for me), then you may need to guide them in the beginning. You would need to translate for them the most important steps. That means the steps needed to collect their daily VPs and the marketing aids for them to use to

I have a website which I use to explain everything about SFI. And how do I choose what to write about? I actually base my articles on the questions that I have received from my downline.

I had one person ask me about Standing Orders, so I have a page on that on my website. I also had one person ask me about the green line (E365) so I created a page specially for that. Then another on traffic exchanges. Although it is not exactly an SFI matter, helping your affiliate to find where to advertise

Which is better and why? Promoting SFI and TripleClicks locally and more personally...or globally via the Internet?

I don't think either is better. It is something that you will need to do eventually, whether you prefer local and personal or whether you prefer going global.

So my advice would be to start with what you are comfortable with. Like me, I am very shy to start a conversation from scratch. So I use the internet for my promotion. But I know that I will have to do it locally too.

So I take my time and try a few things first just to get comfortable. Like placing flyers around the

From your own experience.

You've read through the Launchpads, you've applied what you've learned, what are the outcome? You can talk about that in your weekly newsletters.

Or, you've bought something from TripleClicks, it arrived on time and in good condition, the ECA was helpful. Stress on the transfer buying. This is what you're doing.

Talk about your experience doing advertising. Talk about what works and what doesn't for you. Stress that even if it doesn't work

I would start advertising and building my team earlier. You see, I was concentrating on the 1500 VPs every month not realising that I only have one income stream from that. After reading and understanding further I realise that you could also earn from matching VPs as well as the DCs and CSCs. I have also not fully explored the ECA programme which in my opinion is the best programme ever.

I understand now that it took time for me to read and understand hence I started kinda slow. But I

To me this definitely means that I have to step up my advertising for new PSAs.

In 2015 I have used ECAs as a source of my PSAs. I understand that the ECAs do not guarantee active affiliates. But so far none of the PSAs I bought are active. Obviously I keep on writing Teammails to them letting them know of all the new stuff being introduced in SFI as well as the new things in TripleClicks.

But for 2016, I intend to step up my advertising. And that means start to generate PSAs
