When looking at Pick The Price, check out the bid histories for the product at similar times of day as well as those related to the various special types of auction (double MRP, Winner Bid Free, etc.). You might find it helps to also save your guesses for products with fewer variations in price because you can take a closer look at the narrow band in which customers typically bid.
The current Triple traffic levels in any given hour will likely determine the price more than anything--items typically go for lower prices during times of low traffic. It's worth keeping this in mind.

How to get businesses on alibaba.com to become ECAs and sell their products on TripleClicks?

It can be a good strategy to go on sites like alibaba.com and ebay.com, particularly if you see that the seller is able to sell effectively in small units. Approach them through the messaging system, asking them about their products and whether or not they would be interested in having additional sales streams. If their answer is "yes," have them contact you directly via e-mail, and when you talk via e-mail, that's when you direct them to the ECA program.
What are the components of a great advertisement when marketing TripleClicks products?

A great advertisement for any product does three things:
1) It connects a product with the people interested in those types of products. One of the biggest failings in advertising comes when an ad targets the wrong group of people (for example, promoting sports products on a site for retirees).
2) It engages excitement for the product--many ads these days fail to get their audience excited about the product, which means they fail to sell.
3) It is short but memorable. A short, memorable ad is more likely to stick in the head--while it may not initially sell, it can cause a person to return and pick up on the offer.

When should I start buying PSAs?

You should start buying PSAs only if you're having trouble recruiting them yourself, as a last resort. Ideally, your personal promotion efforts will result in PSAs with at least some basic level of engagement--when you buy PSAs, you're not guaranteed that because you do not know how those people have been recruited. It's entirely possible that a PSA that you buy came through a bounty-for-signup program, and if he or she did, it's likely that he or she is just collecting payment for sign-ups with absolutely no intention of being active.
Recruit more personally, and you should see better results.

What's the best way to motivate my affiliates to become buyers at TripleClicks?

I personally recommend becoming a buyer at TripleClicks because it lets you learn which ECAs and which products are worth promoting. It enables you to stand behind the products that you recommend, and that gives you something truly valuable: credibility. When people see the benefit of taking an action, that provides all the motivation you need.
How do I attract big traffic to my SFI website?

There are some great lessons on promoting your SFI website in SFI's Internet Income 2.0 section:
https://www.sfimg.com/Training/InternetIncome
You can invest additional money in the process, so that you buy into a larger advertising campaign, multiplying the effect appropriately. However, traffic alone isn't going to help if that traffic doesn't sign active PSAs (if you're promoting SFI) or result in purchases on Tripleclicks, whether it's merchandise or TCredits.
What you want is big, TARGETTED, QUALIFIED traffic.
TARGETTED traffic is traffic that meets an interest related to your SFI website, whether it's building an income (in which case you're targetting entrepreneurs), supplementing retirement income (in which case you're targetting seniors), providing a work-from-home opportunity (in which case, you might want be targetting stay-at-home parents, people with disabilities, or others who need that type of opportunity), or any other particular group. Because you have focused your ads on their interests, you know that this traffic is coming to your site, eager to hear your message, and that increases the likelihood that they will participate.
QUALIFIED traffic is traffic that is motivated, ready to work, and ready to invest time and/or money in their success. There are techniques for doing this, including using sign-up pages and autoresponders to make sure, in advance, that they have the persistence to continue and be active.
The nice thing is that if your traffic is targetted AND qualified, it doesn't need to be anywhere near as "big" because you're more likely to get actual, interested sign-ups, and that pays BIG DIVIDENDS.

How to get re-energized with SFI for the new year?

By this, I take it that you're asking, "How can I recharge my energy in preparation for the New Year with SFI?"
I recommend meditation on your goals and how to best achieve them. Meditation can help you relax and engage more creatively with the topic, which in turn can increase your enjoyment of working with SFI. This is a good time to consider new strategies, from starting your own ECA to writing a new blog. Much of this will depend on what you do already.
Aside from this, I recommend starting activities that increase your mental, physical, and emotional fitness. Work on puzzles or study new skills; add some exercise or some energetic hobbies to your day; find ways to meet new people and engage them. All of these can improve your mental, physical, and emotional health, and will, in tern re-energize you in time for the new year.

What ads have been the most effective for you in sponsoring quality affiliates?

Honestly, the most effective ads for me are ones that direct people to *me* and not to the gateways. That is, if a person is a "quality affiliate" candidate, and they contact me directly, I can sign him or her up, train him or her in the various skills they really need to learn (and learn FROM THEM the techniques by which they excel), and then I get to watch that person succeed. By comparison, if I put ads out there, no matter how cleverly worded, funny, or exciting those ads may be, there's no opportunity for rapport until *after* people sign up, and even then, it may take me many e-mails to get a good "read" on any "quality affiliates" who might be out there.
Now, if you're looking for old copy that I used to use before I started developing better direct techniques, you can have them. They got me affiliates, but they're nowhere near the "quality" I get now. I find the graphical ones I make tend to grab more attentions than the ones that are only text.
"Get Rich Slow" (Look for the one with the snail wearing the crown!)
"Learn to Build a Network and Make Money Doing It"
"SFI: The King of Affiliate Marketing"
"Why are you reading this opportunity instead of clicking this opportunity?
It's free to start, I'll teach you what you need to know, and if you're not
satisfied with what I teach you, I'll give you ALL YOUR MONEY BACK."
(This last is ONLY graphical. Of course, it's also easy for me to give
them all their money back, because nothing I teach them costs money.)
Good luck with your ads. I like talking with people better.

What do you do about PSAs that start off great but then suddenly become completely inactive?

There is only one thing that you can do for PSAs, and that's stay in the best possible contact with them. If they go completely inactive, and you can't contact them, there's literally nothing you can do. If you can talk with them, you might be able to find out the problem and come to their aid, but beyond that, there's very little else.
Why should anyone want to become an SFI affiliate?

There are many reasons to want to become an SFI affiliate, and you've probably seen a variety of lists of them on the site and in various ads. My initial reason, personally, for wanting to become an SFI affiliate was because it looked like an interesting opportunity to make some money, and on top of that, it was free to explore. Since then, however, I've learned that there's much more reason to stay.
1) There are multiple ways to earn money through SFI and TripleClicks, including providing a sales platform for products and services I am already selling. I know this works because I have already earned some money. (Not a lot, yet, but it's a start!)
2) There are plenty of sources of learning and training here, teaching me about marketing and promotion, and that's something that I'm able to use in other real-life situations.
3) I enjoy talking with fellow affiliates. These conversations make the process fun.
Those reasons are sufficient for me. The rest is your own personal call.
