Your personal SFI website should be most valuable in 2 ways.

1. Your downline and possibly your upline should be able to see the helpful and valuable information you have written, especially if it includes your personal experiences with SFI. This could be enough to encourage those you are sponsoring or co-sponsoring to put in the time and effort necessary for them to progress within the SFI structure. By the progress of your downline you are going to be earning VersaPoints and progressing

Why are you not good at approaching people face to face? Is it because you are shy, or are you nervous?

My tips to overcome the problem of not being good at approaching people face to face would be:

1. Make sure you know your business (or anything you are promoting)

2. Practice what you are going to say in front of a mirror.

3. Record yourself when you are getting better. (this can be audio or video).

3. Practice on friends and family.

4.

The first question I would pose is why do you want to restrict yourself to either one of these options?

The question would really depend on how much time you have for marketing your business and which you find more effective.

I like to do both, but time management stops me from doing local and more personal promotions on a regular basis. So personally I rely on the internet marketing, probably a lot more than I should.

As this is a global business, and I have the

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

With all the modern facilities available for translating into other languages why should you not try to recruit non English speakers.

Do you really want to restrict your advertising to English speaking countries only? I am sure I don't want to do that.

With an internet business the world is your oyster. Some of your best affiliates could well turn out to be non English speakers. Is there something inferior about them just because they can't speak English or is it the fear of

SFI has been trading in excess of 16 years now. Do you think they would still be here if they were not reliable?

SFI have secure payment gateways that affiliates all over the world use on a daily basis.

TripleClicks is the trading arm of SFI. If you have bought products from TripleClicks then you can also use your own experience as an example of how good you think they are.
TripleClicks are sometimes let down by the mail delivery system, but this is true of all companies

As your genealogy gives you so much information you need to decide what of that information is helpful for you or what you are planning. All of the information available in your genealogy is both useful and important, but if you are trying to find specific information then you need to know how to read the pages and set the filters that will help you get the information you need.

I have seen people saying they only work with their active affiliates, well this is one of the places you can

What should I be doing besides the daily actions on my To Do List to build a thriving SFI business?

Your daily actions are just a small part of what you should be doing to build a thriving SFI business. You should be advertising all of your gateway links in different places.

If you can, build up your TripleClicks members as well as your full SFI members. These TripleClicks members give you the opportunity to get an income from all they spend in TC. If they are not SFI members you will also get the VP attached to these sales.

Keep reading. There is the forum, askSC and of course

How can I promote the New Member Pack (NMP) to boost and grow my SFI business?

The first thing we need to remember is that this item is only available for the first 10 days of the affiliates SFI membership.

I believe you should promote the pack in the first email you send out. If you see the affiliate is active on the first day then I certainly remind them about the NMP on the second day and in subsequent emails. On the 9th and 10th day I remind them they have little time to take advantage of this bargain and reiterate the value of the pack to them.

I don't think in the early stages you should even be thinking of which is better to do. You should be doing both as both are needed for a successful business building opportunity!

As to whether one is better than the other, well that will depend partly on your own needs or requirements.

We all need SFI affiliates to build up our business. As our business depends on duplication we need to build a team that we can teach the principle of duplication to.

We may also need

For those affiliates that have limited access to a computer you have to train them in how to make the most of the time they have got online.

The first thing they should do every day is log in and do their daily tabs including entering the Daily Grand.

The rest of their time should be split between learning more about SFI by way of the Forum and all the training available on the website, and advertising their gateways, along with keeping in contact with any PSAs and CSAs that
