One of the many benefits is great information. There are some very wise people who came before us and have written hundreds of articles about marketing and SFI.

You can learn all kinds of new techniques that will make your SFI business more fun and profitable. Plus you get to make friends who will help you along the way and give you the kind of mentorship and training only a professional can.

Along with all this, you get 1500 VP every month you stay a member. And I think once

I learned a long time ago that network marketing is not just a money making business, but more ofva of a teaching business. So I try to make it less about me and what I wan and more about what others want and need. And the blessings I receive from doing this is what keeps me going.

I get to use my talents on something much, much bigger than me and it's almos as if I'm changing the world one person at a time.

When I get discouraged, and I do, I just remind myself of the reason

I've never had anyone ask me this so far, but if they did, I think I would tell them how SFI is helping me to grow a residual income from home. And if they don't know what residual income is, I tell them it's like rock stars make when they record a hit record.

They normally ask me for a link after that. If not, I ask them if they've ever heard of Microsoft and if they wished they'd joined them from the beginning.

For me, the best way is by posting banners in your blogs and traffic exchanges. Lots of people will see them and be curious enough to click and join you. You can also use the big sizes for a splash page that goes above the "fold".

Another good way is to write a blog about business and do some "reviews" using your gateway sites as links to certain key words and phrases. This way you're not doing a hard sale, you just highlight the words and phrases and use the link

If you're speaking about them maybe not being into what you're doing and not understanding why you're investing of your time and money, it can be difficult,
especially if they've never heard of internet marketing.

And in the early months, it can be even more difficult because you more than likely aren't earning a huge amount of money because you're still building your downline and
may be spending more than you're earning at first.

This depends on your budget. If you're just starting out and have little or no money, free advertising will help you get started, but you will have to understand that anything that's free comes with it's own set of restrictions and rules. For instance, you may only get to send one ad per week, while paid members can send every day. So you have to join at least 5 or 6 free sites to get the same advertising which takes more of your time.

What should I do when I receive inactive CSAs?

How do you know they're inactive?

When you first receive CSA's they may have gone inactive because their sponsor didn't work with them. They may have signed up hoping to find the help they needed and when no one approached them to help, they just gave up.

Unless they removed themselves they will still be getting e-mails from corporate, and one personal e-mail from you, giving them the hope they need, could be all it takes to make them want to work again. But don't stop there.

If they are close, offer to have a meeting with
them, and get to know them personally
if possible. Bring your laptop, tablet or smart
phone so you can show them in person how easy
it is.

Another thing you can do is use one tcredit and
give them a free listing. If they are at all
motivated to sell online, this might be the clincher.

Also tell them that they will only pay a small 15%
fee after the sale has been made, no upfront cost.

What do you tell prospects who say they aren't interested in SFI because they don't know very many people?

Even if they know just one person, that person knows more, and those people know more, etc... so knowing just one person can turn into a huge amount of people.

You don't have to know a lot of people to succeed with SFI.

If they know only 5 people, they can build a huge downline. Those 5 people can multiply into thousands. Tell your prospects that internet marketing takes your two hands and turns them into 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and beyond. It's like having a clone of yourself.

Here's what I was taught years ago.

Watch some tv commercials and take a pen and paper and take notes. What makes you want to go out and buy what they're advertising? Was it funny? Did the items they were selling do something for you? What makes that product better than another? Pay close attention to the similarities in most tv ads. Do you see any patterns?

Now open up a newspaper classified section and do the same thing. What pops out at you and makes you want to read it?
