Each one of us, within ourselves, detains the secret of making money with SFI. It is the certainty of its possibility. It is the knowledge that is being done, day in and out. It is the conviction that we can do it and we will.

They will make money with SFI, those of us who have the above mind set and convictions, and couples them with the appropriate, thoroughly thought, well planned and well executed activity.

The activity that creates the momentum for making money with SFI can be summarized in these three simple words: Sponsoring, Duplication and Sales.

In sponsoring we include recruiting personally sponsored affiliates (PSAs)), referring E-Commerce associates (ECAs) and TripleClicks members (PRMs).

Duplication is the art of transferring our successful business building knowledge to our team members, reassigning to them new recruits to help them grow their teams, setting up team building co-ops, offering gift certificates to promote upgrades of PSAs to Execute Affiliate and Team Leader ranks.

In sales, we have the the critically important activity of advertising for TripleClicks products and services as well as of the ECAs' alike.

To undertake the actions that will yield the income we desire, we need to clearly know what will bring in commissions for us so that we actually make money.
We have then to educate ourselves about the actual sources of our income. The starting point is to learn, or brush up our knowledge of the "income index', the compensation plan, the "benefits chart". We have to know the spirit as well as the foundations of the "SFI Plan".

This knowledge is the translation in tangible facts of our mind set and our conviction that we are going to make money with SFI.

From this point onward, it is a matter of taking action: advertising, marketing, prospecting, closing sales, training new sigh-ups, providing assistance and support to our team members, mentoring them and helping them to duplicate our efforts and results.

We have in the SFI knowledge data base all the information we need to successfully do the above

Hello, Narine Abazian.
Your question is very much understandable. It may be in the minds of other affiliates as well.

However, when we thing about it, in a realistic manner, we will come to the conclusion that it will have a limited impact on the Affiliates who are fully aware of today's cyber security.

First, the AffiliateS who have a clear vision of the opportunity SFI offers will not be deterred in any way by the cyber-attack. On the contrary, they will be more determined to do business here knowing the technical competence and the timely response SFI Corporate Security responded to the attack. This is an additional testimony to the SFI ability to provide adequate security.

Second, as for those AffiliateS who may harbor doubts, and your question seems to be pointing to this second group, there are easy explanations to reassure them.
1. It is common knowledge that major private corporations and public agencies at governmental levels (federal, state, and local) are also subjected to regular attacks. Cyber insecurity is now part of the world of computer and internet technology issues. Nobody is completely immune from such attacks. Competent corporations distinguish themselves in the timely reaction and the protective measures they put in place. Around the world, all public and private organizations and businesses are subject to cyber-attack

2. From this point of view, SFI has done very well. We all can testify to that. SFI has responded quickly and gone further in keeping us updated on a regular basis. Everything was in the open to help us get back to business, understand what is going on, and what additional precautions are being taken to protect us. Very few organizations and businesses do that. As a result, an affiliate who is fully informed would feel reassured to continue his/her business with SFI

Hello, Farouk Ishiaku.

Having resources, from the start, to invest in SFI is a highly desirable.

However, money cannot buy everything.

For instance, money cannot get you to be a highly successful team leader.

It can help you build a team. But, you have to spend some time to motivate your team.

Thus, we have to keep in mind the following:

First, anyone who wishes to be successful with SFI will be well advised to understand that there is a minimum of time, about 30 minutes, that needs to be allocated to SFI's daily activity.

Second, the best way to help people who have resources, but little time, is to bring them to understand the requirements to succeed with SFI: Focused drive and smart work backed by resources geared towards sponsoring new affiliates and teaching them duplication.

I personally invest both time and money.

For instance, this month I have a large standing order; I pay for advertisement; I buy PSAs to Go and I use services offered by some of the ECAs to build my business.

I also use gift cards to attract potential prospects.

In summary, the above is an illustration on how one can grow their SFI business.
In addition, other options to build the SFI business may be through:

(1) building a website and/or paid advertisement to sponsor affiliates;
(2) Prizes such as gift certificates, allocation of TCredits and other perks to motivate and teach duplication to their downline;
(3) taking part of all the Tripleclicks activities to earn valuable actions points with the auctions, games, product reviews, the surveys, the spin and win, just to name a few.

This is the way money can be used to grow SFI.

However, as stated at the beginning, time is also an important resource.

One cannot be fully successful with SFI without allocating time to it.
At minimum, one needs to log every day, or risk losing valuable points and the ability to build a significant daily streak.

If we want to lead others to success, we have to show them the best example.

We will always be business students of SFI for at least two main reasons.

One: None us of can claim to have read, fully understood and able to apply, of hand, all the material, resources, rules, tips and tools available within SFI/TripleClicks; thus, the need to continue to learn will always be present.

Second: SFI keeps innovating, adapting, reforming policies, introducing new ones, improving sales and sponsoring tools.

In other words, keeping up with the innovations that are being made within SFI, as well as the technological progress occurring in the Internet make every affiliate a student if they are eager on staying abreast of the knowledge that is beneficial to their steady business growth.

A leader is a reader. To know the newest issues in his field of interest, the most effective solutions in solving problems brought up with constant changes is a requirement for effective leadership. A successful business person anticipates consumer behavior and economic trends to position his/her operations to take full advantage of the opportunities that arise.

The above is the general business environment. It is also true for SFI. Continued learning is a necessity. It makes students out of everyone of us.

The savvy SFI Team leader is knowledgeable and skilled in transferring his knowledge to his team members. He is a teacher.

Hence, the solution is brought about on 'How to be a successful student and teacher in SFI at the same time".

A successful SFI student will be a successful SFI teacher if they have their best interest in mind: mentoring their affiliates, motivating them and helping them reach their goals. This can be achieved only if the student transfers his/her knowledge down the line to the genealogy.

Your monthly Standing Order (SO) is likely to be either the 125 Tcredits Pack or the 200 Tcredits pack to meet the requirement of 1500 VP minimum.

Your question is how to use this amount of Tcredits to your best advantage.

1. Use the 125 TCredits to bid on auctions for more TCredits. Choose the 76 Silver Packs that come with 75 credits, other small auctions items that are bundled with TCredits and the 300 TCredits Auctions Packs. There are less bidders on these auctions

(a) Your first goal here is to accumulate as much TCredits as you can, while spending the least amount of money.

If your budget is limited, don't bid more than 500 Tcredits per month. Save your remaining TCredits for the following months.

(b) Your second goal is to stretch your TCredits and maximize the benefits and the points you can get from them. Thus, you need to avoid bidding to much, loosing your TCredits while not gaining anything substantial from the auctions.

It happened to me. I did have some excellent wins, at very low prices, but I also lost in high end auctions where there were too many competitors.

II. In auctions, in general, avoid those with Double MRPs. Yes your MRPs will be doubled, but everybody is focused on those actions. Usually, the winner pays a relatively high price, and spend a large number of TCredits.

The losers will have double MPRs but they will have spent their TCredits with no other gains. MRPs are not as valuable as TCredits.

Your third goal is accumulate more than 500 TCredits, through the less popular auctions.

Avoid the very popular auctions: 500 Tcredits packs, 400 Credits packs, 126 Silver Pacts with 125 Tcredits, 100 PSAs, 200 CSAs, Apple and Samsung Phones, computers and other electronics. They are very competitive.

III. When placing bids in those small, not popular auctions, come at the beginning, and place an auto-bid of 200 bids. Be prepared to spend those 200 Tcredits. Usually, you have a chance to win the auction before you spend that amount of Tcredits.

In any case, set an exit strategy. Define in advance the maximum price you want to pay for the item and the maximum TCredits you want to spend in that auction. Stick to you strategy.

IV. When you have enough TCredits, bid on the small PSAs and CSAs auctions packs. You have more chances to win there
You may win Affiliates to grow your team
You will also meet your goal to score the maximum allowed of 500 Actions Points through auctions per month, to help you qualify as Bronze Team Leader.

Spend what is left of your TCredits to list 50 products in your Tripleclick Store or our Connect Page. You will see the link on the top right side of your Tripleclicks page.

At the “Marketing” training module, from the Affiliate center, the section of “Marketing Aids” is made up of 9 (nine) sub-sections, of which one is generic and 8 (eight) are specific.

The specific sub-sections are as follows:
1. SFI with 100 Marketing aids;
2. TripleClicks with 35 Marketing aids;
3. Wave3 with 17 Marketing aids;
4. ECA with 15 Marketing aids;
5. Pricebenders with 14 Marketing aids;
6. Eager Zebra with 13 Marketing aids;
7. TC Music with 4 Marketing Aids, and
8. PPA with 100 Marketing aids.

It is evident that each one of these marketing sub-section has a purpose: to help us build our business with multiple channels, help diversify our activity and increase our potential of bringing sales and sponsoring revenue.

Each one of these sub-sections offers products and or services that cater to several markets. Hence, it is only normal that we have as many marketing aids to help us successfully prospect in those markets.

Our choice of the best marketing aid to use will be dictated by the market that is our focus of the moment and the kind of prospect we are targeting.

Thus, it may be self-limiting and counterproductive to attempt to eliminate all other marketing aids and only focus on a single one.

It is also true that, nearly, in each sub-section’s marketing aids, we will find (i) banners, (ii) E-Cards, (iii) X-Cards and text scripts.

For blogs and websites publishing, E-Cards and X-Cards may be much more suitable as visual aids to help us enhance the quality of our content.

If we have a list of prospects and we are using Email marketing, E-Cards may be a great addition in combination with our gateways which we can add to our signature.

When we are advertising, banners may be the best marketing aid to draw attention to our ads and keep the prospect’s interest.

I, personally, like this variation we have available to us. It makes our prospecting efforts much more expressive. It gives us much more potential to reach a diverse clientele base.

In summary, it gives us a greater potential of success.

Hello, Rosafilipina Burcer.

The best way I have found to help my affiliates build their downlines is through the S-Builder Co-op.

I have used it since I a joined SFI, 15 months ago.

I currently have two unit running.

The S-Builder Co-op is an excellent tool for pooling up advertising resources, teaching new affiliates the best advertising, sponsoring, marketing and duplication methods.

It allows you to work hand in hand with your affiliates, teaching them how to successfully grow the SFI business and show them how to duplicate the same process to their own downlines.

They will be able to carry the lessons and successes they learn from you to to their own PSAs. Those will also do the same for their own PSAs.

Thus, you are creating a ripple effect that will likely reach your 12th generation and beyond.

This is the goal you should set for yourself, your affiliates and their downlines.

It is worth noting that the S-Builder co-op is simultaneously advertised within SFI.

You also have to option of running other Co-ops outside of SFI to maximize your results and accelerate your team's success.

In addition, there are other tools available within SFI, to help us motivate our affiliates, build our downlines and theirs:

The contests and rewards, the allocation of gift certificates and TCredits are all supplemental resources that can effectively be used to help affiliates build their downlines.

Change is constant. The business world is constantly changing. SFI is growing, innovating, creating new avenues to make easier doing business and introducing new tools as well as income streams. The weekly SFI news, the frequent alert posts, the occasional announcements. all are geared to help us stay current.

SFI makes is even rewarding us to read those news with additional benefits such as a daily free bonus entry in the Daily Grand drawing and the Spin&Win that comes, from time to time, with the SFI weekly news.

I do not think we could ask for more motivation to read the news. However the more significant incentives reside in the opportunities, greater awareness of the innovations being offered and the ease being made available in helping us build our businesses.

In the 17 months I have been with SFI, there hardly has been a period without a major innovation, improvement or new product/game. We have more income streams, more ways of sponsoring, more gateways, new and improved ECAs gateway and registration process, successive improvements in the Bid&Build features, just to name a few.

It is worth mentioning that, we frequently get promotions that help us in our business building efforts such as discount prices for the PSAs-to-Go, or last month end sale on CSAs.

If one was to attempt to list all the new features, improvements and innovations, it would take an entire book. It would actually be very much worthwhile writing such a book.

It is evident that all these alerts, news, and announcements are having a highly positive impact in our businesses.It is up to us to seize such opportunities and make the best out of them to help us reach significant milestones every time we have them.

It is great to be part of SFI and benefitting from such constant positive changes.

When I joined, I watched the video, I read the SFI Basics, and worked my Launchpad Lessons. From that first building block, I focused right away on growing my business by building my team. I did not consider whether I had marketing skills or not. I just followed the step-by-step business model outlined in the “SFI Basics” and Launchpad lessons.

Whether is is about you, or the affiliates you sponsor, get yourself and your team focused on taking action based on the training material SFI has made available.

For beginners without experience or skills, if they are willing to work, SFI offers all the training, the tools and the technical support to get started, without wasting time, regardless of their skills level.
Within the past two years, SFI has introduced many sponsoring tools to help beginners or seasoned affiliates, experienced marketers or non-skilled newbies alike build their teams: S-Builder Co-op, PSAS to go, Bid&Build, PSA and CSA auctions are available to every affiliate.

The second building block I used was my warm market: family, friends, relatives, co-workers, business associates, retailers and shop owners whose services you buy on a regular basis to bring in ECAs ; use the SFI marketing aids and methods for beginners. I was able to have several team members who did relatively well. Our warm markets are the most readily available source for sponsoring, the most accessible source for recruiting and the easier way to start earning an income. SFI has made it easy for sharing your recruiting gateways with your family and friends by emails. You just need to add them to your signature. At later stages, after you gain experience, you can also post them in your blogs and personal websites.

For selling, in the second marketing method for beginners, we are encouraged to “refer friends and family to specific URLs of individual products. We can find a URL to a given product within the SFI Affiliate tab on each product's details page.”

You should visit or revisit the Marketing Center to brush up or learn about these marketing methods for beginners.

https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods

Many beginners make the mistake of neglecting their market, although, it may be very receptive warm market. This may not be the case of seasoned marketers who may have exhausted it.

If you apply the above approach, consistently in your first and second months, your team will grow up quickly. Motivate your affiliate to use the same strategies and actions to build their own teams. Very soon, you may have a very sound thriving downline to several generations.

In the meantime, devote one hour a day to learning marketing, selling and sponsoring. Motivation and excellent work ethics will compensate for initial lack of skills.

Whoever applies themselves will become skilled. They may even get better than those who think they have the skills and to not work to improve them.

In your initial approach to marketing, selling and sponsoring, use extensively the methods and aids SFI has designed and developed for beginners. There are 15 (fifteen) of them. Make sure you understand the spirit behind them, and apply them in the spirit and for the markets they are intended.

Three of these methods are about handing out TC-X Cards. By doing this, you are combining both marketing aids and marketing methods.

https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingAids&pg=2
You are enhancing your approach and building up your skills level.

If you are consistent and focused, you will soon gain the experience, skills and confidence needed to succeed

We all are fully aware of the international dimension of Tripleclicks, its potential for reaching customers in every country. This potential should not be overlooked.

However, some new ECAs may not have the experience in servicing customers abroad. Shipping issues may be a major obstacle. In Third World countries, such as in Africa, there are not always shipping agents capable of ensuring timely and effective delivery of goods. It is only understandable that ECAs may, first, want to focus on local customers.

Another reason of your question may also be because of objections you encountered in your prospecting efforts to enroll ECAs. They may have objected to you on the ground that they prefer to focus on generating local sales, not fully knowing the tastes and buying motives of customers in other countries.

All the above should motivate you to pursue your efforts in enrolling ECAs, as the potential is real, and the reward of success is highly worthwhile.

Many small businesses do not always have an online presence. They do not have fully operational, customer friendly websites. TripleClicks may be their best option. It can provide such ECAS with a great online presence at minimal costs. It also makes advertising much easier.

The use of smartphones is now widespread, especially in Third World countries, including Africa, where Internet access is not always reliable. You should explain to your ECA prospects that SFI and TripleClicks offer apps that will facilitate and make easier doing business online. Both local businesses and local customers will interact much easier by smartphones.

As your ECAs gain experience selling online to local customers, they should start exploring the wider international market. A first step might be reaching to neighboring cities, and countries. As they feel stronger and stronger, they will feel confident about going much further to extend their their clientele base from local to national and international.
