To motivate my team I create a few emails on various subjects written from my point of view.

Then hold personal, no auto-responder, conversations with each person.

Advertising and a list of places that have worked for me is usually my first conversation by email, then offer unlimited help with any questions they want any time of day.
I create personal emails and text ads for any people who need it.

Once questions start to come in we discuss the answers referring

I don't think you need to convince people to join because they will not have the right mindset to continue.

You need to offer value up front for them to join your team, and they will then want to build the business and becomes successful.

One Example (and there are many others) is the
value in the products they can purchase for the same price or less than those they already purchase at their local grocery store,
but purchasing from themselves, offers a first customer

The most cost effective way is to write your own ads and post daily. I posted 30 a day on free lassies every single day for 365 days.

My commitment to my business.


Now 4 years in...I have thousands and thousands of ads working for me...all free.

Now that I make a commission I also have added paid for ads, and purchased hits, but to get that first batch started it is strictly committment to yourself.

Get all your VP and attend to the site daily.....not

DO post products immediately

DO NOT expect others to carry your business for you...advertise daily.

DO put on specials and send to your contacts, asking your upline and A2A friends to help promote

DO NOT take long to ship any orders you get...process fast...testimonials are your best advertising.

DO something every day.

ONCE you are approved as ECA you have a perfect setup to make money here online, and branch out and become a success at sales

The absolutely fool proof way to learn is trial and error, using key codes in our ads.

You will quickly learn what works in your personal home town, and area, and what doesn't.

Try everything:

-putting up the flyers you can find on internet SFI web page

-Free classified ads online and even in some regular newspapers allow online submissions

-holding small group seminars illustrating on your laptop, in places like mom and tot playgroup, where

Firstly

Effective ads are here on SFI for you...tried and tested.

Many people post the same ads and banners and this can work in your favour.

Once someone has seen something many times they are more likely to think about it and click it.

Or

Take any of the existing text ads, use it as a base and add on one line...test it with key codes...try again and again, tweaking the ads, and seeing the results in the hit tracker by using separate key codes....

For SFI affiliates, what is the most overrated activity...and what is the most underrated activity?

Quick and simple

Just look at the

Most overrated activity is using items giving small VP to generate extra income.

Most Underrated activity is using your ads to sell TripleClicks products and get TripleClicks members and get income commission on every sale.
With TripleClicks members, every sale you get you keep the VP thus solving the 1500 minimum VP problem to stay EA.

Of all the available SFI Gateways, which has worked best for you, which is your favorite one and why?

I like

Www.tripleclicks.com/pbwn

Very simply because making money with SFI is about selling and this page has some of everything TripleClicks is about.

They can sign up to join me from that page, keeps their interest more than a few minutes, long enough to peak their curiosity and not too much deep reading for those who have another main language.

It may be difficult at first to see if auto responder is working.

I never continue when I hit auto responders, because I feel therson at the other end truly has no time for me, and hence I have no time for them.
So I will not likely contact the person.

I think the way to determine if they are working is strictly time and volume.

If you get the response you want in 6 months, then you are happy.

If you do a test group without auto responders and compare

If they are anxious to earn, get them selling product, one sale equals one commission. That can happen on your first day.

My suggestion to start is a TC Direct product for new people because it has a long standing product like vitamins, or cleaners that is rarely our of stock, ships fast and so commissions arrive fast. Then branch to ECA products once you have the technique, because they are often one of a kind, and commission are after payment, and shipping.....and occasionally (but
