The easiest would be a standing order - if you can afford it.

Look at what is available and how many points you earn for it. You can place the order for one thing - like the 125 T Credits or you can place an order for a mixed basket - like T credits, PSA's to go or maybe a product you would buy in a shop every month.

Don't forget to log in every day and do all the actions you can to earn more VP

If you do not have money it is a bit harder but still possible.

You have to log in, play games and every T-credit you earn you use to bid on products. Use your MRP's to buy more credits to use in the games and to bid in auctions.

Hi there

We all have our strengths and weaknesses - I can convince an Eskimo that he needs ice but when it comes to closing the deal I can not do it because I can not for the life of me convince somebody that they have to pay money they don't have - even if I know they need my product!!
So I would suggest - don't talk to them - chat to them like you would chat about a movie you've seen or a book you read. Start with your friends and family - not with strangers.
Try blogging and write about your experience with SFI - it is easier because you can think about what you are saying. Do a blog like a personal diary - except you don't write about your love life or disappointments - you write about what you've learned or achieved with SFI - keep it short, lighthearted and positive and give your reader just enough to intrigue them to come back.
You can have your personal chats to people by using and saying what you've written in your blog that day.
Baby steps - little by little you will get better at talking to people - even strangers.
Good luck

Let me start by telling you about my own SFI beginning. I joined, did a few things and that was it - I did not log in again. I started getting e-mails from my sponsor. I would glance over the mails and delete it. One day something she said caught my eye and I logged in - I've been logging in every day since then and I have a badge for 180 days

So I am doing what my sponsor did - I keep on sending those mails and I keep on encouraging them and I had a few that logged in after one of my mails. They are not all that active yet - but the fact that they logged in proofed to me that they are receiving my mails and they are reading it

So I would say - keep on sending out group mails to them all but pay extra attention to your movers.

My greatest challenges are ongoing.
The 1st challenge is not to give up and to keep on trying - even when it looks like I am not getting anywhere.
The 2nd one is money - I do not have money to place a standing order or give gift certificates to encourage my down line. So far I have used every T credit I got as a gift from my sponsor and that I earned with SFI to retain my EA status.
I am still battling to get there - but I am determined to do it.
In a big way my sponsor is playing a huge part to keep me motivated and going.

You benefit from both if they are active. At this moment one of my CSA's are the best team member I have BUT if you hit an obstacle and you do not qualify as a EA you loose your CSA's and you do not get them back when you qualify again.

My personal approach is to support everybody equally and give a little more attention to my movers - whether they are CSA's or PSA's.

Also keep in mind - to your PSA's you are their first go to person when they need help, for your CSA's you are the 2nd g to person.

Affiliates re-assigned to you will soon realize it themselves and they will then either disappear or they will re-think their expectations and carry on from there.
The prospects you recruit yourself will be the ones you can put straight from the start.
When you do your marketing to attract affiliates - do not tell them it is easy quick money - they have to know that they will have to work for it and be patient.
Personally I would rather attract one hardworking quality affiliate with realistic expectations a month than a thousand sign ups that is going to disappear as soon as they realize it's not quick, easy money.
Be honest from the start and you will not have to deal with those unrealistic expectations.

In Paradise you would have hundreds of active PA's but unfortunately that is not how it works. Having said that - I do not concentrate on recruiting hundreds of affiliates - but I still recruit.

I send team mails to my whole team, but I give that little bit extra time and effort and encouragement to my active team members just to show them their efforts are noticed and to support them and congratulate them when they reach a goal or win a price etc.

I feel everything we have available with SFI and Triple Clicks are important and plays an important role, so don't feel you have to choose - go for it and do whatever you can.

1. The games are FUN and relaxting
2. You can play T-Time for free and Trivia every second game is free
3. You can win T credits and earn VP
4. You can use your winnings to build your business
5. Trivia makes you smarter / improve your general knowledge

Those 5 reasons are enough for me but if you can think of more reasons you can convince even the stubborn affiliates to join in the fun

Your team members can only take on leadership roles if they have a team of their own.
Somewhere above you there are 12 people benefiting from YOUR efforts. In this case you are the 12th generation of that specific team.

Now, lets take you as the top of your team. You have a team of 200 people but you only have 1 CSA working and 3 PSA's - you benefit from their efforts. If they do not have teams and they do not take on a leadership role - you are stuck and you will never make more than what you are making right now.

BUT - should your 4 workers each end up with 4 workers of their own, you (1st generation)benefit from your 4 workers efforts (2nd generation's)as well as their 4 workers (3rd generation's) this gives you 16 more workers. you can do the math up to the 12th generation and see how much it will be worth to you.

So it is in your best interest to teach your affiliates to duplicate what you are doing and help them to be an awesome sponsor and teach their affiliates to duplicate what they are doing and so building the team right down to the 12th generation.

Take a big piece of paper and try to draw the connections I just explained like a tree with branches and you will see how huge it gets. Then add a possible money value to it. let's be conservative and say each persons efforts means $1 to you - would that answer your question? I think it will.

As soon as I receive notification that I have a new PSA, I immediately send them a Welcome e-card to congratulate them for taking that 1st very important step by joining SFI and to welcome them to SFI and to my team.

Straight after that I send them a personal e-mail to once again Welcome and congratulate them.
I then introduce myself and explain that I am there sponsor and that my job is to guide, support and help them.
I also tell them a little about myself - like the country I live in, my reason for joining SFI
I also explain to them that SFI offers us all the tools and information we need to build a successful business but it can seem a bit overwhelming when you 1st join but that is why you have a sponsor to help you finding your way.

I invite and encourage them to contact me should they have questions or a problem and I give them my e-mail address

The point I am trying to get across here - I do this with all my PSA's and CSA's but I do not always get the same reaction. Some make full use of having a sponsor and they ask questions, follow instructions and learn as they go.
Unfortunately most of them do their own thing - despite receiving tips e-cards, team mails and personal e-mails and they end up giving up.

You can only do your best and the rest is up to them. You can not force anybody to commit. I think we all have the situation where you have a big team but only a few workers. Do not give up on the silent / inactive ones - send your weekly newsletter to your entire team but concentrate on the "special' ones, your workers and give them
the attention they deserve, acknowledge their efforts and support them to the best of your abilities.
