That is why E365 Challenge is available. You can compete with all the other affiliates who joined the same day you did. THAT is a level playing field.

Not all of the older SFI members got active, or successfully so, right from the gate, so not all members are miles ahead of those of us who are newer. Even so, when you look at the Power Rank Leaderboard, check out the "All Affiliates" and "Country" tabs as well as your class. You can see what CAN be done if you put

The every day personal characteristics we are all blessed with will be a good start:):)!

A pleasant, outgoing manner; courtesy; and some skill with a computer. 'Techno-geek' (no insult intended to those who are!!:D) skill level is not required. (Thank goodness!)

Patience - with computers, people, training, yourself most of all - is definitely a major plus.

Knowledge - learn all you can about the ins and outs of how SFI operates/functions. It will be hard for you

Communication!!! Be sure to email or e-card them as soon as you can, welcoming them to your team.

Introduce yourself, make sure to give them your contact info, let them know you are willing and able to help them.

After that, it's anybody's guess as to whether or not they will be active!:) CSAs are no more guaranteed than PSAs to be active. Just be sure to stay in routine contact with them, and cross your fingers, say your prayers!!:))...

SFI represents multiple income earning opportunities. Should I focus on just one, some, or ALL?

My recommendation would be to try as many as appeal to you, and settle on the ones that make you the most comfortable, for starters.

You might like all of them, or only a couple. Work on the ones you like the most, as far as you know, see how you do. If you don't get the results you want, or don't care for that choice after a reasonable length of time, try another.

SFI has much to offer, so you have room to experiment a little. Learn about all of them, try before throwing an

The best way to convince anyone to do anything is to have already done it yourself!

When you explain that a standing order (SO) will gain them at least 1500 VPs, and maintain their EA (executive affiliate, which has its own benefits) status with no further effort, that should be a good incentive to them.

Also, they will be halfway to becoming a Bronze Team Leader, and without having to worry about making their EA status monthly, they will be better able to concentrate on getting

I am not sure there IS a "best" way. I think the choice will be determined by the individual's need and/or preference.

Personally, I chose to have commissions directly deposited into my bank. That way I have no worries about weather, accidents, any other interruptions possibly causing a check to get lost, destroyed or misplaced. And I don't have to do anything to get it there.

Payoneer, PayPal, and checks incur fees of one kind or another. That was another reason

You will need to explore the web, locate sites that advertise to specific groups. Make a list of them.

Then go visit those sites, get ideas, then find out pricing information. Once you have located a few places that suit you, set your ads, and do not forget the keycode so you can track which places work best for you.

Best wishes to you:))...

First, go to your Sponsor. Try a little give and take asking questions, getting answers. If you are not satisfied, go to your Co-Sponsor, do same again.

While you are trying out your upline, be reading the LaunchPad lessons, be doubly sure to rate at least 10 answers DAILY at askSC (one of the red tabs), there is much to be learned that way.

And the Forum (check out the questions/comments listed on Alerts page) is an absolutely great way to get information. The responses may

Once you have laid out your goals for SFI/TripleClicks, figure out your plan for attaining those goals. Keep them realistic, you don't want to put them out of your reach.

First couple months, do a lot of reading, learning, applying what you have been learning. Then begin your advertising, recruiting.

Play games, bid auctions, do To-do list activities, clear red tabs. Set up your standing order for at least 1500-2000SVPs.

Qualify monthly for EA2, then BTL. Continue

There isn't a secret, Sir, there's steady, DAILY activity to accomplish your goal of Team Leader monthly.

Best start, if at all possible, is a standing order (SO) of at least 1500 VPs (125 TCredits for $36+USD = 1500 VPs).

Then go to Affiliate page, clear all the red tabs by doing the tasks contained therein.

Check your VP Ledger frequently to make sure you have done ALL the items listed, many VPs are listed.
