Yes very definitely YES. Why? Money
That is the short answer - but we are not allowed to be so short and sweet here - we need to say a bit more.
Do yourself a favour - go to the forum and read posts specifically about the auctions. At first I did not see why I should promote the auctions - then I read the posts and I was amazed. People are so happy when they win an auction - they are paying for whatever they win in the auction but they are as happy as you would be if you win a prize in a competition.
Why are they happy? they are not getting it for free!? In the 1st place it is like a competition - who can outbid who? it gets exciting. In the 2nd place they can win the auction with a single T-credit at a very low price - Imagine buying a laptop for $1.99 (the price of a single T-credit) + $0.50 (the amount you got the bid on) - that is a bargain in my books.
Besides the thrill of the auction - the more time they spend at triple clicks the better the chances they might see something they like and buy it. If they spend money you earn money. If they do the same with their down line and it goes on like that you earn more and more money.

How can membership in a social site like Linkedin help me build my SFI business?

When you first start at LinkedIn you connect with people you know and before you know it you connect with people all over the world that you do not know - but you might have the same skills or interests.
You look at people's profiles, they look at yours and they see you are a business owner of your own online marketing company. If your link is there they might follow it, or they might ask you.
You know the magic word in the real world? Networking - people go to parties with one thing in mind - networking. (Ever watched Ugly Betty? One episode was entirely about networking) You exchange business cards, cell phone numbers etc - you never know when you meet a person that can do a lot for your career. It is the same principal when you are on social sites.

How do you become a great salesman or saleswoman?

In my day job I've been in Sales on both sides. First I was the supplier and had to keep my customers happy and now I am the customer and my suppliers have to keep me happy.
My 1st tip: LISTEN - you can not believe how many people do not listen to their customers. I learned that when I was a waitress believe it or not. So when I entered the corporate world I knew that you have to listen to your customers and that helped me to be successful in customer care, internal Sales.
2nd tip: KNOW your product. If they ask a question and you do not know the answer be honest and tell them and them go and find the answer. Do not suck stuff out of your thumb because it will come back to bite you.
3rd tip: Do not make promises you can not deliver on. You will loose face and trust.
4th: Believe in your product. If you would not use it - don't try to sell it to somebody else.
5th Learn how to recognise the signs that somebody needs a little more information or convincing and that they are ready for you to close the deal.
These tips are for face to face selling. Online selling is a bit different. With online selling you have to grab their attention immediately with your advertisement and then the product needs to sell itself.
With online selling you need to pick keywords that will bring people to your advertisement.
Your advertisement needs to peak their curiosity without them having to read a book before they know what you are advertising.
As it is in face to face selling - do not try to sell something you do not believe in and would not purchase yourself.

I would say your long-term goals should be realistic but ambitious - what you really believe you want and deserve.
Your short-term goals from month to month can serve to keep you going or it can make you feel you are failing. I think these should be a challenge but still realistic and do-able.
Imagine you set your monthly goals too high and you never succeed - wouldn't you feel like you are failing?
Now imagine you take baby steps and set realistic goals and you see your progress - how happy and proud would you feel?

You can do a lot with your leadership page.
Write a positive blog about your experience at SFI. That does not mean you can not blog about mistakes and problems - you can blog about it but always say how you fixed it or what you learned from it.
You can post the websites that you found where you had success advertising,
Post tips for advertising and marketing.
You can recommend products, sites.
You can acknowledge your affiliates achievements on your leadership page.
You can post competitions or challenges for your team - with the rules set out and the rewards they can get or the prizes they can win.
Try to make your page as interesting and exciting as possible - it should be a page your team enjoys, where they learn from you, where they get to know you. They can send a message there and ask questions - if it is a question that others might have too you can answer it right there on your page. Use your page to entertain, support, train and encourage.

First of all I would say gift certificates. Just don't bankrupt yourself in the process.
Proving to them that it works by showing them your success.
It's free - great incentive
You learn valuable lessons for free - it's like doing an online course to improve your qualifications without paying for it.
Once they joined your team - BE AN AWESOME SPONSOR - support them by answering questions, giving tips, encourage them when they want to give up.
Why do so many affiliates become inactive shortly after joining SFI?

The reasons can be as varied as your affiliates.
To start with I will use myself as an example. I signed up, did a few actions and my laptop crashed - by the time I got it back I lost interest and I also thought I blew it so I did not log in again. This month I will be with SFI for a year - why? My sponsor kept on sending her newsletters and one day one of them caught my attention and here I am!! hard at work.
Another personal experience - one of my affiliates signed up and worked very well. Halfway through her 2nd month she just disappeared - because I know her personally I knew why - she became very sick and just did not have the energy or the go to sit in front of her computer to work.
Another one - my son was unemployed for months and desperate to start earning money. He signed up and was doing better than me. Then he got a permanent job and for a young man that was down on himself it was great. He is still working on his business when he has time but because of the long irregular hours he works it is very difficult.
You will also get those people that were burned by scams so many times they do not trust what they see.
Others are looking for money rolling overnight while they sleep and party - as soon as they realize they have to work they loose interest.
Somebody might've run into financial hardship and had to sell their phone or PC or whatever they worked on and even paying to work at an internet café might be too much for them.
You can send mails to you affiliates and ask them to tell you why they stopped working - but do not attack them - just ask because you are interested. I've done that - but so far nobody answered me - but who knows - one of your affiliates will answer you.

My opinion is that you do not give them a lengthy detailed lecture - it will confuse and overwhelm them before they even start.
All they need to know before they sign up is the following:
SFI and Triple Clicks is a global company.
It is FREE to join and it is FREE to get the training and it is FREE to use the tools provided.
It is not a get rich quick business - you actually have to work for your money.
They have 16 years of experience and they are part of Carson Services.
It is about recruiting affiliates and buying and selling online.
It is internet marketing
You have your own business and you have to build it the same way you build a business like a shop or restaurant etcetera.
Once they signed up you lead them to find out the rest. Guide them to learn step by step - once again, you do not want to scare them or overwhelm them in the first week.

What is the most important goal you've set for your SFI business and why?

I would think your number 1 goal you entered when you joined SFI is your most important goal and in order for you to get to that goal you have to work on every other goal you set for yourself along the way.
I started looking for ways to earn extra money. I got fed up of having to choose between food on my table and a new pair of much needed shoes on my feet. I hated the fact that I could not give my son what I wanted to give him - besides love. I was really fed up with watching life goes by like a parade while I sit on the side lines - so my no # Goal is not to become a billionaire or the richest person on this planet - but simply to improve my standard of living so that I could live my life instead of watching the rest of the world live theirs. So you can bet your bottom dollar on it that I am going to do whatever I can to reach that goal.
Some people just want to get out of debt or pay off their mortgage or build a nest egg, quit their day jobs, buy a new or 2nd car - whatever your motivation for starting this to begin with should motivate you to keep going.
