The Custom Prestige domains are great for promoting SFI for several reasons:

1. The generic gateway links you get from SFI are too long for people to remember. The Custom Prestige name is easier for you to give to people.

2. Prospects can leave your SFI ID off of your generic link, and you don't get credit for a PSA or TripleClicks sale.

3. You can brand yourself with the Custom Prestige domains. Your brand separates you from all the other marketers out there. Like

Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Use the tools that SFI provides, they are time tested and they work. One of them probably got you to join SFI.

Use the tools found in the Marketing tab. There are text ads to use for both sponsoring and sales.

The sponsoring ad that got the best results for me is: "A GLOBAL HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY"

I'm still testing the text ads for TripleClicks.

Thank you for your question.

The best tip to give any new Affiliate, PSA or CSA, is to follow the system. The SFI training is in place to help you succeed. Don't try to change anything. You want your PSA to be able to duplicate what you do, that is why SFI has the training system.

Duplication is the key to your success. Trust in the system, it has worked for many people, it will work for you.

The one quality that will help you be successful is persistence. Do the daily tasks every day, even if you don't feel like it. Promote SFI every day. This is a business and it takes time to build. Doctors go to medical school for over 8 years before they start to earn a decent income. You can't expect to start earning tons of money overnight.

The one thing that will help you be successful in SFI is, be here a year from now.

How can you advise and help new PSAs when you are new to SFI and just getting started yourself?

SFI has many resources for you to support your PSA's.

1. Your sponsor - connect with him or her, ask questions, and if they are successful, do what they do.
2. Your upline - if your sponsor is not available, start moving up your upline. You will find someone there who will be more than happy to help you.
3. AskSC - right here are some great questions, like yours, and great answers, like mine!
4. Forums - Search the forums for answers. Browse the forums just to learn.

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

The initial contact is the most important. If you don't have a good initial contact, there will be no follow-ups. On your first contact, don't overwhelm the prospect with too much information. We tend to spew out everything we know about SFI, whether it's correct or not. Give them enough information to make them curious, then give them the tools to find out more for themselves.

The key to an effective splash page, or any advertising for that matter, is to brand yourself.

People will only join you if they trust you. Major corporations fiercely protect their brands, and so should you. Assume anything you put out there is seen by everyone. Maintain yourself in a professional manner.

As far as splash pages specifically, first make sure you have the branding (a picture of you.) Get a domain name, ideally with your name; that looks more professional than

If you had to start over with SFI, having the knowledge and tools you have now that you didn't have before, what would you do differently?

I just recently joined SFI, and I am glad you asked this question.

I would do exactly the same thing that I did. I followed the SFI training, and a listened to the advice of my sponsor.

I went step by step through the training. Everyone has a different learning curve, and I tend to grasp things quickly. Take the time necessary to understand completely how SFI works. If you have to read something two or three times, read it two or three times. If you want SFI to work for you,

Share your story. Share how SFI is helping you and others on your team. Also share other things you are learning as you are growing your SFI business; personal development, insights, friendships, and other things people would find useful and helpful.

When they first joined SFI, they might not have been in the right place in their life. Things change, situations change. Share information, don't chase, don't beg, don't bribe. When they are ready, they will come back. Until they do, focus
