If you want to avoid information overload, you have to "drip-feed" information to your new affiliates, likely rewarding them every step of the way, whether in terms of TCredits, free digital products, or whatever you might have that provides an incentive. You might even take an intervening e-mail to test an affiliate, making sure that he or she has absorbed the information before moving forward. Done well, this can also build motivation to succeed in addition to helping pace learning.

If you're going to grow your ECA store, you have to look at a few elements:

* You need to be selling quality products at a competitive price to other businesses.
* You need to marketing your products to the people who want to buy them.
* You need to understand how your competitors are marketing their products.

This means that you not only have to be promoting your products, but you also have to be reading your competitors' advertising to learn where they are reaching your market. Most people just concentrate on their own promotions, which mean that they miss out on the opportunity to learn from their competitors.

The value of the Eager Zebra games comes primarily from their ability to generate potentially large shares of T-Credits with the expenditure of just one. This means that your target market for the games is going to consist of people who desire T-Credits. For the most part, this means people who participate in the auctions or download LOTS of music. From these people, your target are those who enjoy guessing games of one sort or another (and with the addition of Pick or Punt? and TD Tally, fans of American Football in particular). That identifies your best target audience.

From there, it's just a question of eliciting more information from these people and channeling them to the right game(s) based on their interests. Trivia buffs will race toward Knockout Trivia, football enthusiasts will want to play Pick or Punt or TD Tally, auction-lovers will play Pick the Price, and those who like to figure out other people will love Gold Streak.

Now, because it's the auction-lovers that will use and want the most T-Credits, Pick the Price has dual value for them: not only does it provide a way to earn T-Credits, but it also gives them an opportunity to research other people's auction habits, enabling them to improve their strategies when they themselves participate in the auctions--it actually helps them improve their TripleClicks experience. In my opinion, that fact alone should help get them interested.

There are many great ways to come up with good content for weekly newsletters, from sharing tips from your upline to reading and sharing articles with people. I'll discuss the ones I use.

* If SFI is working correctly, your sponsor will be sending you his or her messages, and you get to interpret and try out his or her methods and ideas and pass them along to your team. This is at the core of duplication.

* When you notice a trend in your business, and you see something that's working, you will want to share this, too, with your team, so they can take advantage of this same process. After all, their success is your success.

* Communication also goes both ways--if one of your affiliates has found something useful, you can listen to them and share it amongst your other team members, and then everyone gets stronger.

* You can also look outside your team for ideas, too. A good news article related to marketing, business, or even world politics can be a spark for discussion and worth sharing, particularly as they all affect current markets.

* Of course, a good relationship with your affiliates works off of more than just the sharing of facts, but also the sharing of interests. In my case, this means cartooning. I like to draw, and I like to share that, so when I share ideas, I frequently share drawings or graphics I've designed myself.

The rest all depends on you and what you like, what motivates you, and how that motivation gets communicated to the people on your team. Some people work better one-on-one than they do with something like a newsletter; some people do better through voice and prefer direct calling or teleconferencing over skype. The trick to doing anything is to find a way to make it enjoyable for you, or at least *easy* for you, so that you can keep up your process without it feeling like a massive drain.

I hope that provides something more useful as an answer.

Consider first and foremost that Wave3 is a referral program within TripleClicks. That means, in a very practical sense, you have to introduce prospects to TripleClicks first, and this should be where your initial efforts are. As your prospects begin to enjoy TripleClicks more and more, that's when you introduce them to Wave3, so that they can see that they benefit directly. Everything else follows from there.

As you know, the New Member Pack gives the buyer 50 TCredits, 200 MRP, ten game tokens, and thirty bonus drawing entries to Daily Crown. For your PSAs, that gets them ready for Fast Track status if purchased within their first ten days (in addition to the required Getting Started actions, of course), which means an additional 10% share of the Executive Pool. It also nets you, as their sponsor, $3.02 in commission and 500 sales VP. This essentially means you can suggest they buy this as a "head start" on their success and start benefiting from their activity immediately.

However, you ask "how you can promote it," which is a question of how you can engage their interests. That's a much harder and more person-specific question, in general. In the case of a friend, I might suggest that they use the TCredits to try experience the auctions and the tokens to try out the games--200MRP isn't going to do much by itself (not without additional purchases), so I'd probably not even worry about mentioning them as much. In the case of an internet prospect, though, there's something you can try that's VERY interesting: You can use it to "pre-qualify" your affiliates.

Here's what you do: You talk about SFI and what you're doing, and you talk about how you promote TripleClicks. You invite them to check out the site and pick up an NMP to check out all the features, give them a chance to look around *before* they sign up as an affiliate under you. This way, if they buy one and like what they see, they're more likely to become an affiliate, and if they buy one and decide to pass, you've still earned your commission, and they may just decide to become a more active PRM at a later date.

Given that Your Choice Dropshipping currently works primarily with Amazon, you can point out to your referrals that by participating in Pricebenders auctions, they can effectively get an extremely discounted pricing on any product sold through Amazon! Hopefully, in future, this same process will be available for all TripleClicks ECAs as well, so that we can increase promotion of ECAs we bring in.

TCredits are credits used specifically for the games, music downloads, and auctions--they're something like the tokens you might get at a video arcade.

TCurrency, on the other hand, is like a "customer credit" at a store you shop. You can spend it like cash at TripleClicks. There's really not much more to it than that.

Using the CSA Exchange is a matter of logic and strategy, must like everything else. For those CSAs with whom you have communicated and who keep active, you're going to choose to keep them because they're actively helping you earn money. Those who have been less responsive and who live in other countries, by comparison, are probably worth exchanging because they're less likely to prove active for you, unlike any affiliates you may receive in return.

A lot of my advice on improving with face-to-face approaches would depend on *why* you feel it might be a problem. For some, it's a more personal anxiety problem; for others it's a confidence problem (and yes, the two *are* different!); and for still others, it's some other type of impediment, like a speech disorder or other physical problem that can get in the way, or even just lacking the verbal skills to make the approach affective.

With anxiety issues, I highly recommend hypnotism to both relieve the symptoms of anxiety and get at the root of the problem because this is the route that worked well for me. Once the anxiety is out of the way, it's just a question of practicing social interaction. SFI has been a great motivator in terms of teaching me how to talk persuasively with others.

For others, it's more of an issue of confidence--for example, there's no problem with friendly conversation, but they don't think they can sell. Again, hypnosis or other therapy can help figure out a root cause and built confidence. In my case, I had plenty of confidence in *myself* because I know I have the ability to learn any skill, but I felt intimidated by others. No more. :)

If it's some other impediment, it's just a question of learning how to overcome, whether with speech therapy or, for that matter, just drilling with approaches. Once I overcame the anxiety, I really had to work on the communication skills. For this, I started with more fun and funny exercise, approaching people with more humor than a desire to sell. I could go into specific exercises, but that would take days, and it might not even fit your personal circumstance.

The most important thing is YOU CAN DO THIS.
