For building a Team on SFI:
The main investment for free going in SFI affiliate is Time. Every day at least 2 hours to promote the gateways on Traffic exchange sites, Forums, PPC - pay per click sites and PTC - pay to click/or PTV - pay to view sites/ and personal or online meeting with prospects for business /warm or cold market/. That makes 3 hours per day, every day if the person works full time as I do. If the person doesn't work full time, the time investments grows to 6 hours. This way

What do you say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time?

Well, if he/she thinks this way, I will ask just two things "Then what are you doing in SFI? Is this a business for you or just killing time stuff?" 1 VP of day is vital for commissions in SFI. Every day there are 15 VP of daily actions and those points change into money which go to the pocket. If someone thinks that 1 VP is waste of time, that means for him/her SFI is a waste of time. The hardest work in SFI is to earn 3000 VP for BTL. EA2 status is just the first step toward success.

Hello, it's a good question. The explanation to me is like this: I an business opportunity for improving my standard of life. The company is called Strong Future International marketing group and it operates with a big online shop for every kind of stuff, called Tripleclicks. The opportunity is free to join and the business is easy to do if you are interested. There are a lot of ways to earn commission just with staying at home on the computer and selling online.

Hello!

The both methods are great, but not everyone can do the both of them. Why? Because some people are shy others are more aggressive and so on. Personally I use online recruiting. Now I explain in my opinion and experience about the two methods.
1. Offline - I have made some presentations this way to my close people and I failed them all. A lot of people broke the relationships with me. But the human interaction was really qualitative. Before I make them a presentation of the

Is it worthwhile to sponsor affiliates who speak little English or have very limited computer/Internet experience?

For sure is it worthwhile. Otherwise is kind of discrimination. English and internet experience are skills, which can be learned with the support of Sponsor or Co-Sponsor. I had a friend in my team, who didn't know how to make blog for example. Step by step he learned everything regarding internet. So, language it's not a barrier. On the site there is a translator. On Google is translator too. People, who don't know English or are with limited internet experience often are great communicators or

What do you tell an affiliate who says he's going to quit because nothing is coming of his efforts and hard work?

Personally I would let him/her go, he/she already decided it. I am not a business martyr who should convince people, who don't want to work and learn to go on the path I'm already with others, who want to make things work for them. I always lead by example, share everything I achieved so far with my team and I also don't have a lot coming from my hard work and effort. So what? I can do the things work. Everyone can do it, but only if he/she has the will and persistence to do so. If not, everyone

What's best for team building...doing my own advertising or buying PSAs?

For sure the best is own advertising, but in a discreet way or an original one, like a blog or something else. People should be creative regarding advertising. But it depends how much time has the affiliate to build his business /if he/she has other obligations/. Buying PSA is also good, but there aren't any guarantees that the people will join or be active. But some of internet viewers are ready to go into online business, when they find a good opportunity. The same goes also to the regular advertising.

Hello!

First thing you should do in communication with your downline is to share your own experience. Tell them what you have done till now - what worked to you and what did not. It's good to say about your own mistakes and what have you learned from them. It shows you care and have walked a long way to be there where you are.
Second - remind your downline to check regular SFI Basics and the LaunchPad lessons.
Third - read a lot and share what you have read and if you think

How do you motivate lazy and unmotivated affiliates?

Hello,

let me tell you that you're not a person who should make others to do something. If they don't do it, don't make yourself a martyr in convincing them about something is working. It's not worthy, because if you succeed to make them work, it will be a short-term thing. You can't motivate lazy affiliates, because they don't want to work and hope some money to fall from the sky without them doing something.
Now, pay better attention on the unmotivated affiliates. Here the communication

How long should I pursue inactive PSAs/CSAs with emails, e-cards, etc. before giving up on them?

Hello!

There is no need to pursue no one. Send your team mails weekly and send e-cards only if you have a reason to do - Welcome someone or if he/she became EA. Don't try to chase someone who doesn't really care to understand the business you are in. If there are questions explain as best as you can.
Don't give up on your people, do what you do as a leader - be by their side not only in words but also in actions. Don't divide your team in Active and Inactive. Do what you should
