The Member Reward Points (MRP) that you earn let you buy products on TripleClicks. They're great to spend on digital downloads, products with free shipping or even T-Credits because then there's no shipping--they get directly converted into products with no cost to you. I've personally also used them to pick up gifts for friends; just recently, I bought some of my culinary friends PURJAVA from TC Direct, knowing that when they like the product like I do, I can give them my link and bring them into shopping at TripleClicks. I've also used them to buy other products that aid in my marketing.
I would probably suggest that the best uses are the ones that don't require any shipping costs--those "free gifts" you purchase with them can be great for promotion, too, when people ask where you got them!

What are some tips for getting the most out of the SFI Forum each day?

Probably the best way to get the most out of the SFI Forum is to concentrate on the types of posts that motivate, educate, or suggest improvements, depending on what you desire. Personally, I have little use for motivation because I have a plan in place and work consistently to it, but I know that not everyone functions the way I do. I'm personally more inclined to learn more about other's successful strategies and understanding weak-points so that I can improve as an affiliate.
If you were to start over with SFI, what would you do differently, knowing what you do now about this business?

Knowing *everything* I know now, there are several things that would have changed:
1) I would have concerned myself much less with earning as many VP as I could during the first six months because those VP disappear from your power ranking after six months, so they will not count toward your final E365 Power Ranking. To that end, I might even have saved some of those "getting started" actions as bonus points to use later, if I could.
2) I would have probably not jumped in "with both feet" until I had a better strategy for my ECA store because it takes some work to do it correctly. As it stands, I still have more that I honestly need to do with mine.
3) I would have also focused my spending at TripleClicks more on the other ECAs' merchandise and talked with them more about how they put their businesses together. This goes with #2), above, in terms of learning more about the business.
4) I would have spent more time reading the Internet Income lessons and other free information on the site before troubling myself with generating traffic because I would have been better able to target my traffic sooner that way, and I would have gotten more sales that way (and with them, more commissions).

How can I be effective recruiting affiliates face to face and one on one?

I find that it's actually much easier to be effective recruiting affiliates face-to-face because I can focus on their interests in particular. It all starts there, really, and it's just a two-step process:
1) Elicit their values. What are their interests? What are their goals?
2) Show them how SFI and TripleClicks will enable them to achieve their goals and help them do what they're interested in doing.
The rest is all about personal presentation, and that's going to rely on your own style and your own strengths in communication.

How can SFI help you conquer your personal limitations and roadblocks and become successful?

The key problem with this question stems from "conquer your personal limitations." By definition, "personal limitations" are exactly that--personal. The answer to this question will depend on too many variables to count. In itself, SFI doesn't directly help with anything personal, either, although through joining SFI, you can find various tools and people that will help you:
* The Internet Income lessons can teach you how to be more successful in business.
* Your sponsors and cosponsors can teach, advise, and guide you.
* The forums can provide you a social network from which you can get more ideas.
* TripleClicks sells hundreds of "how-to" publications that can help you solve problems.
Speaking for myself, it was the Internet Income lessons that did the most for me--I needed knowledge about how to effectively market and promote. In the end, though, only I could conquer my personal limitations by applying what I had learned, though.

What are the most valuable marketing skills I should teach my downline?

Affiliate since: 12/31/1969, Power Rank: 99999999
I can think of dozens of valuable marketing skills, but here are the most important ones within SFI:
* Clear communication: In order to target a market, you need to be able to elicit your audience's values in order to attract them. Also, if you're training your downline to recruit *their* downline, this is also vital because they're going to be passing down your training on marketing skills to them.
* Niche development: Most of doing business on the internet revolves around concentrating on one particular market because that's what search engines and social networking handles well. That means knowing the products available in that niche and what about those products appeal to the target market.
* Targeting the niche market: You have to know where your customers look for their related information--if you're selling bait to fishermen, for example, you have to contact the fishermen where they go to shop or to learn about fishing.
Of course, your downline will need to know more than just marketing. They need to understand promotion, copy-writing, and a whole host of other important skills. You also need to comprehend how your downline affiliates think, and know how to phrase all of it for easiest study and practice... but that's all part of another question.

What is drip marketing...and how best to utilize it in building your SFI business?

"Drip Marketing" is essentially a way of using autoresponders or other automated messengers to send a bunch of pre-written messages out on a regular basis. It's best used alongside other automated processes that work with large volumes of traffic. Keep in mind, though, that like other automated processes, it takes "the human element" of communication out of the picture, which means you're likely to reduce the amount of your responsiveness to individuals. That can result in difficulty actually duplicating your success in the end in the process of getting more short-term signups.

What are some of the best ways to advertise my business OUTSIDE of online social media?

Well, arguably, all online media, including blogs and self-produced video, are all types of online social media, so consider what can all be done in *offline* media. Local bulletin boards, club, and networking events are all great places to publicize your business because they provide a much more direct ability to physically reach people--a physical card often times stays with a person far longer than an online message. Aside from those, there are also independent newspapers and magazines, which can be great places to reach local people looking for opportunities. The biggest advantage here is the ability to target a given market, based on the type of periodical in which you advertise.
The best thing about advertising offline is that it separates you from the deluge of online advertising--you tend to have your audience's attention more to yourself as a result. It's definitely worth considering.

How do I convince people that SFI is a unique and rare opportunity that they shouldn't miss out on?

In my opinion, the goal is not so much to convince people that SFI is the greatest thing ever--they've heard things like that from every pushy salesman with shoddy goods--but rather to show them that SFI is a useful tool that can help them reach their financial goals with reasonable ease. The best way to do this, I find, is by showing them the processes by which I am able to do these same things. If your promotion processes already include the elements of training, they will be duplicating your success by the time they sign up.
That said, it helps to understand what your particular segment of interested people want. For example, I came to SFI because I wanted to learn how affiliate programs work; I stayed because of all the information and training provided by the site, as well as all the tools I needed to start succeeding. Some of the marketing tools take a completely different approach, and those will attract completely different people. You need to know your audience if you're going to successfully communicate with the people in it.

Well, although the benefits are listed on the page:

I think you'll find that the biggest benefits come from the fact that Wave3 can be used to recruit your TripleClicks customers as well as affiliates--that is, Wave3 serves as a way of giving you an extra tool in mobilizing the customers you bring to TripleClicks. Once you bring in a customer and find that he or she enjoys shopping or playing games or participating in the auctions promote Wave3 membership to them. You collect your bonuses and so will they!
