I find reading Forum posts for ideas is a great way to find out where fellow affiliates are advertising.

Another consideration is to match what you advertise to the target audience that you wish to reach.

It may be best to promote the EZ games by leaving flyers at tables when you go out to local Pub Eateries as there are many that have gambling games and games of various types available for patrons to use when at the pub so why not leave some information about EZ games that may appeal to the competitive spirit of patrons - EZ game can be played from home or anywhere that the player wishes to use the internet to play EZ Games that SFI has to offer,

Retirement income potential may be best to advertise to those who are part of the working class who are looking for a way to supplement their current income and find a way to earn more income to put aside into retirement savings,

Entrepreneurship may be best to share with those who are interested in participating in an on-line business venture and possibly target to post-secondary students who are in a program of study which focuses on Media Advertising, Business degree or even Marketing.

First create a list of thins that you want ot advertise then profile match your list to "whom" such items will be of interest. This will guide your efforts to finding the right places to advertise SFI.

Consider your role as a Cultural Broker with your international down line team members. In that role, you will then want to consider ways on how each member's community impacts their values, what is important for their local economic growth and how their culture may impact how they view SFI entrepreneurship.

Advancing with SFI is a universal approach and simply is a choice of desire for your downline members.

Appeal to their passion and this will assist with their SFI business growth no matter what part of the world he or she lives in.

Assistance comes in all types. It may be best to use more than one approach with team affiliates to assist with their down-line building techniques.

For some, it may be best to provide links to SFI resources/articles/postings which gives affiliates training and learning to then put into practice what is instructed in such readings for building downline;

Share what you do on a regular basis to build your downline team membership. Be sure that instructions are clear so that duplication can happen,

Set up a Co-op Manager and invite downline members to be part of it. SFI does the work with this tool so all that is needed is to set it up with expectation that your fellow team mates will support those assigned through the manager;

Leadership skill development is critical too. Be sure to ask fellow team mates about their comfort level to lead others. If they express uncertainty or do not know how, then this is whereyou may assist to support their downline growth.

Assisting others is the basis of SFI so encourage affiliates to reach out not only to you but also others through the Forum and create new A2A connections too.

I truly do appreciate this question. It is not only down-line members that can give up on SFI but it also applies to those of us who support a down-line too.

I find communication to be the #1 strategy in supporting down-line members to continue on in their development of their own SFI business. SFI is built on co-operation and support, thus communication is an important feature of such.

It is important to communicate, not only about SFI, but also to communicate with down-line members about "WHY" they have joined SFI so that their passion can continue to motivate them to press on when times feel slow and/or difficult. Understanding another person's "WHY" will also enable you to improve your role as a support to be a custom-fit for their needs too.

Communication on a regular basis provides comfort to those who receive your messages that you are present and actively there as a support for not only your own efforts but also for the efforts of your down-line members.

I suggest taking time to prepare a list of "needs" that you can identify that will ultimately stimulate growth for your SFI business.

Consider topics that you have no knowledge about or need assistance with - once you have identified your business needs then communicate these items with your up-line team. Ask your up-line team members where you may find solutions to your needs or even provide ideas that you may implement right away which will start to grow your SFI business.

Maximum support is only achieved if you share what you specifically are looking for that you will consider useful for you and your business. If you do not share what you are needing or looking for then you will receive communication from up-line members that may not be considered useful thus you continue to work alone in a business that is truly build on collaborative efforts of affiliates sharing ideas and strategies.

Be sure to regularly communicate with your up line about what you find useful and what you require more of and less of so that you do gain the maximum support.

Being an business owner does not need to have leaders invest funds into their team members.

You possess the following that is valuable and can not be replaced:

Knowledge
Time
Empathy

These three items that you possess are best to be invested in your PSA's to promote activity.

Knowledge - you have working knowledge of SFI. Your understanding of SFI is to be transferred to your PSA's so this is also known as Knowledge Transfer. This can be done by use of Team Mail, Stream posts, and even scheduling an on-line meeting with Skype. These are tools available for you to share your knowledge about what works and what does not work for being an affiliate with SFI,

Time - your time adds to your PSA's time that they put into their SFI business. You can offer to help them by investigating options or preparing a template letter that he or she can use for a marketing-recruitment mail out or using your time to read other training comments, Forum Posts and even other affiliate's profiles so that you can pre-screen items to assist with saving your PSA's personal working time. Your time is well worth invested in your PSA's,

Empathy - you have gone through the same experiences that your PSA's have gone through and will go through by simply being an owner of a business. You can relate to your PSA's as you are also an affiliate with SFI too. You can say, " I understand..." because you are in the same situation as they are. Empathy can be shared by active listing to your PSA's comments that they have to share about the good times and the not so good times. You can relate and for this, empathy will gain the trust of your down-line team members.

Running a business is not only about investing funds....it is about the relationships that you build with PSA's. Relationship building does not need to be bought but needs you to invest your Knowledge, Time and Empathy.

SFI is about the people not about the money.

Attracting new members for TripleClicks can be done by various methods. Many of which are shared through Forum posts, SFI Launch Pad Lessons and even from Training modules offered through SFI too.

Strategies that I have found to be helpful are as follows - if you want to consider these to incorporate in your business plan, please do so:

Review current items promoted on TripleClicks and then be specific to whom you share the sale item or newly added item with - target your audience by making an announcement on your blog, twitter, personal vlogs or even website;

Share products with down line members that you have personally tried that you have found extremely helpful with your SFI business, items such as down-line building services, blog services even banner advertising services,

Flyer distribution may be a old way to recruit shoppers on the TripleClicks store but this method does work. Flyers get into the home and will catch the eye of someone - a parent, child, visitor. Be sure to print off various flyers with different product lines to distribute,

Placement product is a great way to attract new members - purchase a sample of a product that you may share with others such as Whey protein or even other health products that may be used. I have found that leaving a prduct which can be shared by many in an office envrionrment, shared amongst teaching staff at children's school or even donated samples to the Food Bank will catch the eye of different people and potential TC members. Be sure to tape on top of lid and bottom your SFI contact info so that new members may sign-up under your line,

Free Web-advertisements are a great way to market the TC on-line store, be sure to script your comments to target specific

Great question, happy marketing!

Daily actions are critical for business growth.

The importance of daily AVP tasks will need to be stated by you which reinforces the message that we all receive as affiliates with SFI. We are fortunate enough to receive stories shared through the Forum by fellow affiliates following To-do List tasks and expressing gratitude for the success of performing such actions, and we also get information about the importance about the Daily AVP during our Launch Pad Training - first month of joining.

Modelling to down line affiliates is important so send out a Team Mail message which shares what you do to ensure that you don't miss performing these AVP tasks but also express how you are benefiting from performing these tasks daily. It is important to share your experience about how daily AVP tasks are helping your business grow and also it is important to share the "missed benefits" when tasks are not performed.

Review postings by fellow affiliates on the Forum or Stream tab and share links with down-line affiliates so that they will not only hear the benefits from you but also from other SFI affiliates as well.

Find life experiences that require us to take each day or each moment to develop into something bigger even a reminder about the little boy who through starfish back into the ocean - he believed that helping 1 was a start - an important start.

AVP's add up - but the greater benefit are the other outcomes that come from earning the Daily AVP - badges on portal page, winning Daily Grand Prizes, coming in as Class Champ - there are many benefits just by earning AVP's daily.

Standing Order of T-credits may be used in a variety of ways to leverage your efforts with SFI. The following are some things that I do:

T-Crfedits enable me to bid on Auction items that I am interested in. I usually try to bid on the items that have 10x MRP listed thus I stretch the purchase power of the T-Credits. Each bid also earns me 1 VP to add to my VP tally for the month.

T-Credits also provide me purchase right to items in the TripleClicks store. I can use these to buy items that I need such as S-builder units, PSA recruitment services, digital down-loads and other services that I use to build my SFI business. Each purchase also earns me VP's and MRP's - once again using T-Credits offers alternate ways to earn more.

T-Credits also enable me to participate in the other games that SFI has for all affiliates such as the Time Machine and even downloading music - each of these programs also earns you 1 VP per action so you add to your VP tally.

The last thing I do with my T-Credits and transfer them to fellow down-line members as a means of recognizing excellent work and effort. T-Credits are easy to transfer and then down line members may use them or transfer on to someone else. There is a maximum number of what you can transfer to each down line member but nevertheless is a great way to motivate others to keep their determination with SFI.

T-Credits also are a great to purchase business marketing materials that you require to share your SFI business with others such as the ECA Post Card packages, SFI envelopes, SFI letter head, and even Triple Clicks gift cards.

T-Credits earn you VP's every month then you can use these to make other purchases or perform other actions to more VP each month in your SFI businesses. T-Credits provide more for your dollar when you use them as they increase your VP tally and MRP's when making more purchases and you do not necessarily need to use your credit card to make cash purchases.

Every body benefits from using T-Credits as the means to make purchases.

Successful advertising can do two things: establishe your SFI business/products in the consumer’s mind and it encourages consumers to take action to buy from you.

So, how do you successfully advertise on Facebook and other social media?

As you are aware, when you post something through social media people who like/friend/follow you will see it on their feeds. So the more you post, the more they see. However, there is no need to flood their feeds; too many messages can irritate people or be considered no different than spam. It seems from looking at what other companies are doing, 2-3 post per day is a good number. As an example, look at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Flordia USA - there are at most 3 post going out per day on their social media sites. Check out other organizations too and use their frequency of posting as your guide for your SFI business.

Another important consideration is the timing of social media postings. Your postings will depend on your target audience - what works for their schedule. In general, when looking at other companies, early morning and early evening are ideal. Most people leave for work just after 8:30 and get back after 5 pm; therefore,posting around 8 and 5:30 would show up for these people when they check their social media accounts before and after work.

Now, encouraging action to be taken through social media postings can be more difficult. Using "eye catchers" such as coupons and special offers are a good way to encourage action. People often do look for deals and social media is a great way to get the word out quickly.

No matter which social media platform/s you use to advertise your SFI business and/or products you simply need to remember: sent out notices/postings on a regular basis but not to flood or spam, consider the timing of your postings to fit the target audience you want to benefit from your advertisement and try to include an incentive to have prospective customers to act upon what you advertise.
