Well surely if you are rich, you can simply support him with cash so that he can invest. But chances are, he will always be returning for the same help as there would be no need to continue working hard.

“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” The better way to help this individual would be to give him your support. Show your affiliate how to create cash.

It would be best if you first have a standing order. Then you can show them the benefits you derived from that action.
1. It frees you from worrying about how you can achieve your target of becoming EA each month
2. You are closer to your goal to attain leadership rank
3. Your standing order promotes sales at TripleClicks
4. You are the one who benefits directly and not your upline
5. Additional chances in the daily grand draw
6. Monthly Versa points
7. Monthly

You can learn how to write ads through observation and trial and error or practice. Observe those ads that have been prepared for us by SFI. You can substitute your own words and use along with their image.

Think of the person you want to attract and write to suite. Think of what might attract you in an advertisement and imagine how another person would view it. You can review ads that are written in the classifieds in newspapers and on the blogs and websites that you frequent.

You should do your own test run after you set up your auto responder. Be the first subscriber on your list. This can be done adding your own email or subscribing to your own opt-in list. Once you receive a confirmation mail, click, then you will receive your mail from the auto responder. You have just done what a visitor to your site would do. If you are happy with the results, your auto responder is working as you desired.

If you don’t want to use your own address you can set up a

Sponsors can help their affiliates move forward in both tangible and intangible ways. Guide them on what should be done. Achieve this by referring them to specific areas of SFI’s training and reminding them to stick to the basics.

Give them tips on how to market their business. For example, explain ways in which advertisements can be sent out. If possible, give them some free advertising sites or you can encourage them to join your own co-op. Your help to them will eventually benefit

The fact that you are willing to exercise ethics and adhere to the rules of SFI is a demonstration of your honesty and professionalism. You can connect with many ECAs who are already in the program and this will give you tremendous exposure. This can boost your business since they in turn will recommend your store to others.

You can make use of the many marketing tools provided by SFI such as, the ECA feed where your comments can be directed to those connected with your store, and

By monitoring the movers list you, the team leader can keep a check of your PSAs and CSAs to see if they login regularly and you can check their progress. From that overview you can make many decisions.

All affiliates need encouragement at one time or another. Some can be congratulated or rewarded for their progress while others may need some form of encouragement. Those who return after a period of inactivity should receive your focus if it is apparent that they need your assistance.

The first thing you should do is to activate your “VP Streak Vacation Mode.” In order that your VP streak will be preserved.

I think it’s very rare that you wont have internet availability. Most stores/coffee shops/airports/hotels and even hospitals have hotspots. Search for them and you can provide support to your team.

Ensure that you have set up a Standing Order so that you can maintain your EA status if you may be out for longer than one month. Make use of your

If your PSAs and CSAs are constantly contacting you for help and assistance and following your advice, this is a sure sign that they are serious about building a successful SFI business. You can see potential in those who are not afraid to try new angles.

If they are setting up a Standing Order, purchasing items from TripleClicks, or creating a healthy group of PRMs, this is a sure indication of their seriousness. It means they are ready to go! Participating in the new games is
