Be security conscious. An open house get-together is also an invitation to criminals.

- Have at least 2 adult family members or friends assisting you.

- Try and keep the open house get-together presentation in the front garden, a front porch, or a front room of the house, locking the doors to the rest of the house. Keep a dog in the house for the duration of the get-together, away from the visitors, but nearby.

- Stipulate the opening times of the open house

Set-and-forget (or passive) advertising is brilliant.

If your downline members have their own high traffic blog, they can place SFI and TripleClicks ad banners on their blog, and that's it! Due to the high traffic the ads will be seen and clicked by many, freeing up time for spending on other aspects of SFI.

Thus, I believe that one of the most valuable marketing skills that you should teach your downline is how to get a lot of traffic to their blog, in particular through on-site

If you have only one hour a day to spend on SFI, it would help if you had patience, or a fair amount of money to spend.

I am assuming that your daily hour includes things done off the SFI or TripleClicks sites, like marketing, which would be all the more essential if you have only an hour a day to spend on anything related to SFI.

I think you should split your activities up. Do some things only on certain days of the week. This would make each of the many important things related

My first payment, of course! I received my first payment from SFI towards the end of my third month at SFI.

But what, in particular, made me work hard to achieve that, trusting that I would likely get paid for my efforts?

1. The gateway that I used to sign up.

When I saw the gateway showing many new affiliates that had just signed up from many different countries, I wondered if that was real. After signing up I refreshed that page and my name was there too. I'm a

What is the best way to train my PSAs and CSAs?

The best way to train your PSAs and CSAs is to spoon-feed them.

While some may say that spoon-feeding affiliates with exceptionally detailed information and with lengthy but simple step-by-step procedures may discourage their independence, I disagree.

You are teaching your affiliates. You are training your affiliates. Once they have followed your detailed and easy-to-follow instructions, they will have learned to do something. They will now be independent.

With the new Team Leader qualification requirement and the new Signing Bonuses, how will this change your business strategies?

My business strategies do not change.

1. Team Leader Qualification Requirement

I already understand the importance of building and nicely supporting a team, more so due to the fact that I do not yet have much money to invest in helping me with my pursuit of maintaining preferably at least BTL rank.

If I have a few EA2s in my first line, I can spend less on trying to gain another requirement of being a team leader - the required amount of VersaPoints.

If I had unlimited wealth I would very likely start buying thousands of PSAs the moment I understood how to support them. This moment would also need to be at the same moment that I knew that I'd have lots of time to do a good job of supporting these PSAs.

In my quest to build and support my team, I may not necessarily spend my money on PSAs To Go, though, or only on PSAs To Go.

There are other ways to spend money to get PSAs besides buying PSAs To Go:

How do I take advantage of every tool in the SFI system to maximize my success here?

I'm definitely NOT trying to be offensive when I say that the greatest tool is yourself.

SFI has aids, information, tools, and power tools, but the most powerful tool is your knowledge, and using that knowledge.

Thus, to take advantage of every tool in the SFI system you need to fill up your "tool box" with many tools, learn how to use those tools, and actually use them - don't let them just lie in your shiny red metal "tool box" just looking pretty. Those

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

A great advertisement definitely includes a picture, or sometimes even consists of only a picture.

And not just any picture, but a picture that is of good quality, and that isn't too small.

Two identical or similar products, similarly priced but sold by two different sellers? Potential buyers will go for the product represented by the better photo.

Text can be included in an image too - rather than long boring

I would explain to my affiliate - via SFI or an email, or even over the phone or in a letter I post if I had to, or even in person if the affiliate lives close by - that they could certainly still be successful with their SFI business even with not much access to the Internet.

I would recommend that their initial time online be spent copy pasting some SFI pages that they could read on their computer later, or even print out the pages and read later if they don't even have much access to
