Great question and I can not help but think of the following quote, "Yes, reach for the mountain top, but enjoy the climb as well." ~ Robin Sharma

I am mindful of this quote when I send out team messages to members of my downline; this quote reminds me that success with SFI is not a prescriptive approach - in other words, as a team leader/sponsor/fellow affiliate I wish to enocurage everyone I interact with to consider what his/her desire to fulfill with the use of SFI.

I have experience with in-person presentations, direct mail, trade shows, handing out biz cards, network at events, etc. Can offline marketing be as effective for my SFI business as online marketing?

I believe any kind of marketing that may be used to share with others about what SFI has to offer is great.

SFI offers many tools that can be used not only on-line but also off-line.

I find using simple strategies is best such as purchase items that I use regularly and have products in my home speak for themselves. People will wonder where you get things and will ask for your help.

Off-line is a great way to share SFI with others.

You Tube and Skype are excellent resource tools that you can use to help promote your SFI business and promote items sold through TripleClicks.

One possible way is to create individual video interviews on news-makers about your SFI service or what product you want to share with potential buyers via Skype. Once your video interviews are created, post them on YouTube, embed the YouTube code on your site, then to make your videos accessible to everyone transcribe the video with a cheap tool

SFI has shared all the benefits of joining in their launch pad lessons and even in additional training materials.

I would like to encourage you to consider the question yourself - what are the things about SFI that had you interested in joining? Self reflection is a key part of owning your own business and then using that reflection to share with others so they can see you are "real" about what SFI can do for them too.

Helping others to better understand SFI is a process.

Everyone joins SFI for their reasons so it is best to solicit questions from PSA's on things they wish they new about SFI and respond accordingly.

Referencing questions from the ASK SC is helpful as this forum typically has current questions that fellow affiliates ask with many responses which then becomes a resource of information for PSA's to access to better understand SFI.

I think the TripleClicks TCards are a great marketing tool. To whom would you give the cards to and why?

The cards are an excellent marketing tool and if used creatively can generate a lot of awareness and business building. This is a great question and I would simply say these cards can be given to anyone who would benefit from purchasing items that are required personally or professionally. Distribution of the cards need not only be done face to face but can be done by leaving them inside books at a book store or even in books at the library - specifically in topic areas of Entrepreneurship or even

Distribution is the simple part - distribution of gift cards can be done in numerous ways as this is shared through the Reference Tab on our SFI home page. Personally, I enjoy placing them into library books when I return them. I insert them inside the book cover next to the Table of Contents page/s.

Now the not so easy part...results. I really encourage this perspective for self review: what is the primary purpose, your "why" to distribute the gift cards. Is it to educate people

Your contest is a way you serve your down line members. As a leader or host, serving the needs of your down line members is a way to show you value their efforts in your team, provide encouragement, and at the same time makes the work feel like fun. Contests is a way to get to know your down-line members as well.

These benefits are priceless to any leader.

Among the popular Standing Order items (IAHBE, S-Builder, TCredits), which is best and why?

I suggest that you consider which product fits you the best. All of the items you mentioned work but you need to consider what you need.

The other consideration about the Standing Order is that it is flexible - you can at any time change your focus to purchase another product that you or you business needs at any tgiven time.

I always tell affiliates that SFI is a representation of you so purchase what you need and make it part of your Standing Order.

I had to review my calendar in consideration of an answer to this.

In my opinion there is no clear-cut schedule as SFI is a way of life. SFI is a great way to earn money to support self and needs of family but it is also a way to help others.

Every day I endeavor to share SFI with anyone I come across. Due to this commitment, I spend minimally 5 hours every week on SFI. Many times I have spent more than 20 hours per week on SFI.

It is important to spend a little bit
