Well, I think the newsletter should contain, among other things, news about your team, your downline. Just repeating what is already available in SFI may not serve any purpose. However, important aspects available in SFI could be highlighted, but just one at a time. SFI's "Rules of Success" fall into this category.

First,it is necessary to decide about the periodicity of the newsletter. It should not be too frequent or too delayed. To my mind, a fortnightly newsletter will be appropriate.

News about the developments in SFI during the period could be mentioned in passing, giving a reference to the site/topic/location concerned, so that those who have not seen the SFI news could go there for details.

More important and interesting would be the news pertaining to the achievements of your team members during the period under coverage.

Motivating the members who are not up to the level of your expectation, but are active, has to be also a purpose of the newsletter.

You can announce contests or rewards you plan to introduce for your team-mates.

You can also recognize good achievers in your own way, for instance, by allotting them STARS in the range of, say, 1 to 5.

Your imaginative mind can always devise various innovative ways of presenting material in your newsletter, for attracting the attention of your team members, for better overall performance of your team.

Hope this helps.

Maybe I would ask myself what things do NOT make me proud as an SFI affiliate.

SFI has given me a solid plan to occupy myself with a genuine, trustworthy, effective business, which does not compel me to do anything against my own interests. I am proud that I have joined a comity of hard-working affiliates the world over.

The virtual banners I have accumulated over a short period of less than 9 months make me proud that I have done reasonably, if not extraordinarily, well. SFI's system of boosting the confidence its affiliates through these banners as well as its system of ranking its affiliates, from EA to PTL, is commendable.

It is not just hard work, but the opportunities SFI provides for trying out one's luck in the various draws, are something to look forward to almost everyday. SFI has introduced a lot of fun in its processes through draws and contests. Did I add the Pricebenders auctions to the fun list?

You are never let down, if only you keep at it. Your upline is always a source of your strength. SFI's Forum, its Support system of resolving all your tickets, its constant effort to improve its various aspects, in fact, everything about SFI is so benign that one would never quit, if one were serious about working towards promoting the business.

I am indeed proud of being an affiliate at SFI. My only regret is that I did not know about it earlier.

All those that are in great demand are best to cell, irrespective of their price tags.

A rare valuable item may not sell easily, but when it sells it boosts the seller's bottom line. A common cheap item, which is available elsewhere also in plenty, may not sell easily, unless the seller offers comparatively better attractive terms.

The sales-volumes do not depend upon the price of the items alone, as everyone in the marketing business knows. There are many other factors like the quality of the products, their demand, the shipping costs, the advertising blitz, competitive pricing etc. that determine what best to sell and what not.

Hope this answer will be helpful.

Already there is an information overload at SFI. If I start communicating for reasons not that important for the promotion of SFI or my team, it would be unwelcome.

To my mind, all the communication that I send to my team should be absolutely to the point, whenever there happens to be an essential point to be mentioned in order to promote my team's (indirectly, my) interest as well as the interest of promoting SFI for everyone's benefit.

Weekly mails for the entire team may be all that should be enough. Besides, if there is some achievement demonstrated by someone, a brief message of congratulation, by way of encouragement, should be in order. And, if one of my team members is in need of some assistance, surely a short message of advice or help would also be necessary.

I will consider any communication, not in the interest of advancing the team members or promoting SFI for the common good, is too much and unnecessary, I think.

I hope this answer will be helpful.

I have had this problem, much like innumerable others at SFI.

My weekly mails to my entire down-line receive just a stony silence. What can I do? To be frank with you, I do nothing. I only hope against hope that some day someone will suddenly become active, like a centuries-old dormant volcano shocks its neighborhood by spewing smoke and fire and lava.

The only difference between an inactive affiliate and a dormant volcano is that while the latter is destructive, the former will be extremely welcome, when they come to life.

So I keep sending weekly messages through the genealogy site in the hope that my regular prodding will spur the disinterested affiliates into some useful activity.

I am lucky that I haven't had this problem of an unresponsive sponsor. I believe that a large majority of sponsors who are interested in making it big at SFI are not just responsive but are also very supportive of their downline.

Having said that, I think if any sponsor is non-responsive, it could be so because of the number of affiliates in the sponsor's downline being too large to handle on an individual basis, within the time available at the disposal of the sponsor.

There are many other sources of help for the affiliates:

(1) The Forum;
(2) Their a2a friends;
(3) Their co-sponsor or any of their rest of their upline:
(4) The SFI Basics;
(5) The Launchpad Lessons; and,
(6) The lessons given under the Internet Income ( i.e., basically the Training).

SFI gives SUPPORT, for any problems the affiliates have.

Affiliates do succeed without any help/response from their sponsor, although the sponsor's help goes a long way in the affiliates' success.

If the affiliates have the will to succeed, they will succeed with or without their sponsor coming into the picture.

I hope my answer helps.

Nice question.
VersaPoints (VP, for short) are points you earn by doing various types of actions. You have a VP Ledger, which gives you an account of the VP you have earned (as also, the VP you can earn, if you do the actions indicated therein).

VP are very important because they are as good as shares in the Executive Pool that determine your earnings, in the long run.

There are basically two types of VP: Sales/Purchase Points and Action Points,indicated by S and A in your VP Ledger as well as in the To-do list of actions.

You can also think of VP as those that are FREE and those cost you some money.

For example, all the getting started actions are absolutely free. So also, all the daily, weekly and monthly actions that you do as per the To-do list are also free. Then, if you have placed a Standing Order or purchased some product at TripleClicks, you will earn the VP assigned for the product that you have purchased.

Your Power Rank at SFI is determined by the total number of VP you have earned till date.

Remember, the VP you earn expire after 180 days.

Also remember, you have to earn 3000 to 3999 VP (with min. 1500/max. 2000 VP) from sales/purchases, if you wish to advance from EA2 to BTL or remain as BTL month after month. (Of course,there are a few other conditions unrelated to earning VP, here).

For more information on VP, new affiliates can go to the Glossary section on VP.

Hope this answer of mine is of some help.

I think, if you have marketing skills, the easiest and the quickest way to earn money at SFI is to sell the products available at TripleClicks. Commissions on sales are very generous at SFI. Perhaps many people do not know that they can earn $300 or more per month only by selling TCredit packs.

This is the best/quickest money-earning strategy at SFI.

However, the undermentioned methods are also very useful and a must for boosting your income, even if they take more time.

Next best is by duplication. The sales/purchases made by your downline are a source of quick income for you.

If you recruit ECAs, they will also be good lasting income-earners for you, if they sell products (their own or of TripleClicks).

All successful Leaders know quite a few of the SFI rules of success and they follow them diligently.

They advertise, recruit, duplicate their work through their down-line, are consistent and patient. They invest time, money and energy in SFI. They know that the return on investment (ROI) is a factor of their contribution to the promotion of SFI / Tripleclicks.

They face failures with courage, as any risk they take is, after all, a risk. You lose some, you win some. They do take that risk, knowing full well the consequences.

Success, as all successful leaders know, comes in installments at SFI. They know that one step of success leads to another, and so there is no final success-laden destination. That is why they keep working hard. At times, they run to stay at the same place, as on a treadmill. But that experience gives them the necessary energy for better success later.

They 'work with the workers' and never give up, come rain or shine.

Successful leaders are endowed with this rock-solid determination to succeed. Their actions demonstrate it.

Hope this helps, especially all the new affiliates who are prone to throw in the towel soon after they sign up at SFI.

In my view, distrust is built-in into many prospects, whether they are your target ECAs or just affiliates or target members of tripleclicks. There are many scams pertaining to online businesses, you know. As such their distrust is understandable.

How to erase this distrust? That is a major problem, to which there aren't any easy or quick solutions.

One thing you have to do is to explain the facts about SFI's online business, particularly, how genuine everything is about tripleclicks: its Affiliate program, its ECA program, its pricebenders auctions and so on. You can show your own performance/ benefit that you had at SFI. You can narrate SFI's history, if that helps.

Another thing you can do is to cite examples of other ECAs (preferably those in the vicinity), whose association with SFI is long-standing and performance commendable. You can ask your prospects to verify the facts for themselves.

Although my experience in this area is extremely limited, I think, yet another way to convince the doubting Thomases is by actually taking a product that you have got from tripleclicks at a fraction of its original price through one of the auctions.

The bottomline is to establish the genuineness of this great online business, which is possible through your own sincere efforts towards convincing them that they would indeed benefit, if they enrolled as ECAs.

Hope this is helpful.
