I would say that it's best to welcome in PSAs individually but simply, preferably in their own languages (Google Translate is great for this). If you have something to say that relates specifically to what a given affilliate has on his or her affiliate profile, definitely do so. If you can ask a question about their goals or their experiences, this is the most valuable thing to do because it elicits value and is most likely to result in prolonged conversation, and that kind of engagement is most likely to result in greater success for each of you.

This question can only be answered with another question in return: "What can you tell me about your prospect?"

There are certain people out there who just want the general overview of SFI before signing up, and there are others who feel they need to know everything about SFI and TripleClicks before they can decide to commit. I'm an example of the first sort of person--as a free business opportunity, I knew all the training materials I needed were waiting for me on the internal portions of the site inself. On the other hand, some of those I wanted to recruit wanted far more than that.

I employ a mixed strategy when it comes to building a team. Certainly, with those who share my language and my native culture, I can easily communicate, and that means the process of duplication becomes much easier. However, doing so also limits my market and my audience, so at least some of my contacts will always be elsewhere in the world. I would say that I prefer about 80% of my team to be of similar language and background, with the remaining 20% be of international origin.

The answer to this depends not only on your ability to communicate effectively on your web-page or blog, but also on the places where you're advertising and their policies regarding SFI gateway links. If you are an excellent writer who can excite those who visit your own site, you will find that your pages will help *pre-qualify* those who follow through to SFI from there, which means you are more likely to have more active affiliates signing up that way. Now, this isn't a perfect fit for everybody, and it's worth your time to have friends look over anything you write to check it for clarity and content. I personally love writing, so I tend to promote my own site first, instead of pointing directly at SFI.

That depends on what you need from the LaunchPad lessons, doesn't it? Do you need facts about SFI, or do you need the best techniques for setting yourself up for profit? Do you need a reminder that this is not an overnight success?

From my standpoint, as someone who does a fair amount of research on the side, I tend to appreciate the Day Ten, Frequently Asked Questions, more than anything else. I love big data dumps and learning as much as I can as fast as I can. Because this lesson extends outward into more questions (and effectively more lessons), I tend to find it most valuable as a reference.

I have to wonder if the person who designed this question has any knowledge of neurolinguistic programming (NLP), but for everyone's sake, I'm going to take a few steps back so that I can properly approach the subject. For some, this may be a bit more complex than the reader may be ready. If that's the case, just jump to the end of this, and please just take a moment to read the last paragraph.

The basic concept of NLP is that the way we process language shapes the way we think, which means that the structure of our sentences determines how well our messages get absorbed. As such, when we "create duplication," we're essentially communicating--and thus copying--information, ideas, and processes from our own brains to those of our affiliates. Some of the elements of the communication will vary with the language, so I'm going to focus on English.

There are two primary elements to communicating ideas in English: repetition, which is just repeating the concepts you want to install over and over again until your target has this information clearly in memory, and transition or concatenation, which is structuring one idea so that it flows into the next, each structure building on top of the next, until the whole process or rationale is understood by the target. With most learning process, transition and concatenation form the lines of persuasion and draw together the larger picture, with repetition forming the bulk of the message within the smaller (individual ideas) and larger (whole idea complexes) structures that you build.

In the written mode, this is where your grammar lessons come in--you have to tie your ideas together and find various ways to repeat them until the message is absorbed. Spoken English works much the same way, except you can use more than just grammar, and this would take much longer to explain. Suffice to say, it's still all about tying your ideas together and repeating them until learning happens. That's your duplication.

It's important to speak to people in their own language, and that means composing messages appropriate to this: Leave out any idioms, metaphors, and other figures of speech because they may not translate well, especially not through your typical automated translation tool! That's of primary importance.

As for time zones, well, you know when you're awake, and if you've made good contacts with your team members, you can find out when *they* are awake. Then it's just a matter of staying in touch.

I would honestly say that this depends on the beginner and his or her native strengths. The better writers may find that blogging and linking back to his or her gateways work best, for example, while those better at social networking are going to have a much easier time recruiting more directly from their warm network. The *easiest*, by comparison, is the distribution of X-Cards because it can be done without any direct contact... but like everything that's easy, it tends to provide fewer conversions. "Best" is going to rely, in my opinion, on the individual.

The biggest drawback to using link-cloaking software or link-cloaking services (like TinyURL) is that they immediately draw the suspicion of the places where you advertize those links, as well as the suspicion of the people who might use them. To my mind, if you're trying to promote on a site that dislikes SFI links, just link to your own website or blog, give people more information on your site, and link them from there to SFI. There's no sense in annoying a site host.

There are all sorts of ways to use the new Join My Team gateway, bot because the advantage is in how much it's customized to me, I'm planning on doing up business cards, both physical cards (that I can give out when I meet people) and virtual ones (which I can use as signatures on forums and so forth). Having something that shows me off should be more effective than your standard X-Card.
