Any time you use your blog to promote any thing, whether it is something you want your readers to join or buy, your first goal is to build trust. While the upward potential for profit is infinite, it is not a get rich quick scheme, It takes time to build the trust you need to get good results. The first thing you need to do, is give useful advice. Every day, or at the very least every other day, post in your blog. Every post needs to be on topic, and bringing a point that helps your readers

What's more important--the initial contact with a prospect or the follow-up, and why?

I would have to say the follow up. While it is true that without the initial contact. follow up would be impossible, it is the follow up that is usually the contact that makes the conversion. It takes between 3 and 7 viewings of an ad for a prospect to decide to buy your product. It would follow that it also takes multiple contacts for you to convince a prospect to join SFI. All the first contact really does is open the door, or firmly close it. It allows you to establish a rapport with

No matter how broke you are, just making one 1,500vp sale a month will make you and EA. To do that, you will need to do some advertising. To that end this is my advice to you:

1) Find a product that you actually can get behind and promote. Do some. Find out the best keywords for that particular item.

2) Go to a site like Angelfire.com that will host a website for you for free. There are two reasons for building your own page. Firstly, search engines like Yahoo! will

Would you go on a vacation trip without knowing where you are going? Of course you wouldn't. You would get lost or worse. Setting your goals in SFI is the same thing. It gives you a way to map your path from where you are to where it is you are trying to get to. Knowing where it is that you are trying to go helps you find your path and avoid the pitfalls along the way. Knowing where you are going helps you plan as well. In this case, you strategy is rather like a map, perhaps better yet

First thing you have to do is get your own ship in order. That is, earn EA status. Then you can start building your team. Then you can tell those affiliates that you sponsor, this is how you do it, and teach them to earn EA and recruit. Because you do that, you can show them by example. Its a lot easier to lead from the front with a "do as I do" attitude than a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude.

Why are badges so important?

The badges are important because it shows your team that you are doing as you teach. For example if I tell them that it is important to earn EA or better every month and don't have at least EA myself, they won't think that it is actually important and probably won't become an EA themselves. However, practicing what you preach does show a commitment that is going to be respected, and followed by at least some of your team. Seeing the badges lets your team know what you are doing to build you SFI

Should I reach out to the affiliates on my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. generations...or leave support to their sponsor?

While the primary responsibility for your 2nd generation is their sponsor and co-sponsor, any help that you give will make your team stronger. Sending a team message to the whole team shares knowledge that they might not get otherwise. Every one of us has knowledge and experiences that are unique to us. Some part of that might be just what the affiliates in the downline need to thrive. It is therefore alright to help the 2nd, 3rd etc generations. That might in the end be the best way you can

What makes SFI better than other Internet-based income opportunities?

Probably the most important difference is the upline support. If I don't know how to do something, my sponsor does and is willing to help me with the problem. That means that I don't have to find my own answer or re-invent the wheel. The answer is out there, and if I ask for help, I will get it from my sponsor.
The other thing that sepparates SFI from the other opportunities out there is the fact that I can make money without ever having to spend anything. All I need is a couple of free

You are a sponsor who has lost touch with your downline. How do you reconnect?

Start by putting yourself in their position. How would you feel if you were in their psoition? Now approach them the way you would want to be approached. Since they probably feel that you just want to make money from their efforts, make a honest effort to show that you care for them and want them to make money too. Perhaps purchase a gift certificate for them.

Why should independent shops place their offerings on TripleClicks when they already have a Website?

By placing their offering on tripleClicks, they are in effect gaining thousands of affiliates that are advertizing their products. That increases their sales revenue and profits. Since they only pay a fee on the sales generated by TripleClicks, it is a risk free way of increasing their profits.
