You can easily maintain EA status with IAHBE membership for $29.95 Standing Order, stress free! But for a shoe string budget, here is what you can do:

1. For a 30-day month, doing your daily, weekly and monthly actions completely gives you 492 VP.

2. As an Executive Affiliate, you will be awarded 10 TCredits. And if you are a Wave3 member, another 5 TCredits and 50 MRP. You can purchase 10 eBooks with a combination of these and get to do reviews for the books 7 days later. That

I am online at the Affiliate Center and see that someone just signed up under my link and is online too. What should I do?

This is an important question. Once an affiliate signs up through your gateway, you receive a mail informing you about it and in the mail is contained a link to the affiliates snapshot and SFI encourages you to go to the snapshot and initiate a live chat with the affiliate if you notice the affiliate is online through the yellow bubble that appears below their passport. Why so? The reason is simply. More often than not, the affiliate is unsure what to do and a friendly conservation giving him a simple

This answer to this question is that it’s possible especially for the few who are very good in using free advertising to their advantage. They get non-affiliates to buy things from TripleClicks and get the VP attached to the products. But for the most of us, this is not possible. We may talk about minimizing cost but cannot cut out investing. This is because the most successful advertising channels that won’t consume our time require some financial investment.

On a different note,

The best way to get the attention of your Sponsor/Team Leader is to become active on SFI and begin to excel on your business. It's true that your sponsor should help and guide you, and answer all your questions and concerns, but this is not always the case. Your sponsor could be busy and has little time each day to devote to SFI. He/She may have so many PSAs that it is impossible to give adequate attention to all of them. But by being active and making headway on you business, you'll certainly draw

Recognizing the achievements of your PSAs is important. How do you recognize YOUR PSAs/downline?

There are several ways of recognizing the achievement of your PSAs/Downline:

Firstly, for a PSA, you have personal access to his/her email and should send them a personal mail to recognize them. If you've been able to develop a personal relationship with them and have access to their cell phone details, then a call or text message will also be appropriate.

Secondly, gifts work wonders and are really appreciated no matter how small they are. So a Gift Certificate, transfer of

Please visit the link: https://www.tripleclicks.com/myaccount/payment_options.php to see the payment options available for your Country. But here are some general information:

1. The TripleClicks MasterCard from Payoneer is available for all affiliates. If you select that as your payment option and accumulate in commissions $20, then you can process yours. With the MasterCard, you can make purchases and set up a Standing Order.

2. SFI has also made available the Liberty Reserve

When communicating with my downline, is it best to use the SFI email utility or my own email? What is the most effective?

I believe you should use both. The two communication methods are not meant to be a substitute for the other but to compliment each other. It's the reason you have both options. For instant, you only have the email information for your PSAs and CSAs and therefore can only communicate with your other downline through the SFI email utility if you want the email to get to their email box.

The SFI email utility is important and convenient too especially when you consider how you can communicate

I know I should work with the workers, but how many follow-up messages should I send to inactive CSAs/PSAs before giving up on them?

I believe we shouldn't give up on anyone. Most times we don't know why a PSA/CSA is inactive and they could be several reasons why. Most times it's because they thought it was some easy money program and after they see their 1st commission, they give up! Some are skeptical and for some others, they are simply overwhelmed by the SFI system and are not sure what direction to follow. As long as they haven't opt out of SFI, they still receive messages from SFI and we should keep reaching out to them

How do you decide which SFI banner is the best and most suitable for your website?

There are 2 variables here: the banner size and the banner content. What determines your choice banner size is the space you have on your site to host the banner; and what determines your choice of banner content is the make up of your website and what you feel is most suitable for your site audience. Whatever your choices, at SFI marketing aids and resources, you'll find just the right banner to suit your need!
