I am sure SFI would be a good way to earn an income for anybody dedicated enough to put the time in it requires.
I also think it is a golden opportunity for students to earn a little extra.
Think about the possibilities it holds for students studying business or marketing - they can enhance their studies and knowledge and make money doing it.
They are working in the field they will be working in once they complete their studies.
They might even start their own business this way and never have the need to enter the rat race!!
Hope it helps

My first reaction to your question was NO! it is not possible to help too much. Then I thought about it a bit and now I want to say - the answer is YES and NO.

If you do your affiliates tasks for them you are helping too much. They have to learn how to do it and this will not happen if you do it for them. If they do not understand the instructions you can simplify it and TELL them how to do it. Do no do it for them.

If you support and give advice to affiliates when they ask for help or, send gift certificates or T-credits (if you can afford it)to your working affiliates, you are not helping too much. Some of your affiliates really want to succeed but they simply do not have the money to spend on a Standing order right away. Helping them until they can place a standing order or qualify as EA or higher on their own might cost you at first but once their business is steady you will reap the rewards.

I will not waste my credits on affiliates that joined and never came back again. Sending them a weekly mail and maybe tip e-cards is enough.

I always look at these kind of questions from my own point of view - what would I look for? what do I want?
If you are looking for a way to make money online or working from home - what would you Google? Think about the words you would use in a search - use those words as your tag words, in your articles and blogs.
What would draw YOUR attention to an advert?
How did YOU end up at SFI?
What is YOUR motivation to be here?
If any of these words or methods works / worked for you it stands to reason it would work for a lot of other people.
Ask your friends what they would search for if they were looking for work or opportunity online, why would they be looking for it? Immediately the field gets bigger.

As a start you can send them a weekly newsletter through your Genealogy mailer - send it to your entire team.

For more communication concentrate on your working affiliates.

1. If somebody is from your own country you can phone them.
You can phone people in other countries too but this might be very expensive.
2. Skype is a way to communicate live and face tot face.
3. Twitter and Facebook can also be used - especially Facebook because you can have
a same time live chat.
4. Personal e-mails between you can also help to get to know your affiliates and to
show personal interest and to answer their unique questions.
5. If you live in the same area you can have meetings to discuss problems, exchange
tips and so on.

At the end of the day it is about showing your interest and finding a way to communicate best with each affiliate.

Good luck.

To answer that question you first have to understand the difference between a PRM and a PSA.

A PRM is a Personally Reffered Member
A PSA is a Personally Sponsored Affiliate

I don't think you can concentrate on one more than the other because they have different functions in building your business.

When you refer somebody to TripleClicks you concentrate mostly on sales and earning your place as Wave 3 member. To become a Wave 2 member earns you different rewards (you can read more about it in the Newsletter or by going to the Site Map and clicking on Wave 3). When you refer them to the games or challenging them to beat your score in a game you earn MRP again. When you refer them to Price benders and they take part in the auctions and they purchase something via the auctions or from the many products at TripleClicks you earn commission.

When you recruit somebody to join your team as an Affiliate you become their sponsor and as their sponsor you need to help them to become a successful business owner. The more success they have the more success you have. With them as your PSA you can earn matching VP as well as commissions on sales.

There are actually so many plus points to consider with each that it is too much to set out here. You can find more on the site map if you are still wondering about this.

Promote = advertising.

Advertise your favourite products as much as possible.

Advertising is not just a written advertisement.

You can promote or advertise via word of mouth - tell people about this product you love and where they can find it.

You can tell them about the massive savings.
You can tell them about shopping in the comfort of your own home and having it delivered to you - no full noisy shopping malls, no long lines at the cashier's counter.

You can make a video and place it on You tube.
Pamflets you can put in post boxes, hand out to people, leave at the library, shops or whereever you are allowed to.
Free advertising sites and community news papers
Paid advertising sites
Your own blog or website is a good place to advertise.

Get creative and think out of the box and come up with interesting ways to bring it to the attention of people out there.

Find out if there is an entrepeneur or small business fair in your town or city. These fairs are held usually once a year to give people like us the opportunity to market or "sell" your business or concept to the public. You can put up a stand and talk to anybody visiting the fair because they are there because they are looking for an opportunity. If your stand is vibrant and interesting people will come to it - even if they are just curious it still gives you the chance to turn their curiosity into excitement and a sign-up.

Sometimes you sit and wait for an appointment or you stand in a que that seems to go nowhere slowly. How often do you start talking to somebody in the same boat as you - waiting. Instead of moaning because you have to wait so long you can start telling them about your business.

You have to be able to read situations and see opportunities and grab it. I can tell you who you should not approach and try to talk to about SFI.

Never try to talk to a mother battling to keep her todler under control. If you see a person walking with purpose in a shopping centre do not try to stop them to tell them about SFI, all you will achieve is making them angry and irritate them. When you find yourself in a situation and you see the opportunity to talk to somebody you might have to stop yourself as well - look at how the person reacts before you go on and on. In short - you might find opportunities when you least expect it but whatever you do... DO NOT push too hard and look desperate or irritate people.

You can arrange an evening at the community centre or church or school with the specific goal to introduce SFI and TripleClicks to people.

As far as I am concerned they are both part of my team and I treat them as such.

Having said that - I would not be happy if the co-sponsor of one of my PSA's do my job for me. When I get notification of a new PSA or CSA I send them a welcome card and a welcome letter.In it I encourage them to ask me if they need help but in the CSA's welcome letter I give them what they need to get help from me should they need it but I encourage them to contact their sponsor 1st. I explain to them that I am 2nd in line as contact person but that they are a welcome addition to my team.

I send letters to help them get started to my PSA's but not to my CSA's - unless they ask me for help. My weekly letter goes out to my entire team - movers & inactive PSA's and CSA's alike.

Remember - you can not ignore them because you do not know how active and helpful their sponsors are.

Think of them like your children - even when they are all grown up they are still your children and your responsibility never ends, it just change roles. You go from caregiver to a helpless infant to a babysitter or advisor to your grown up children.

In the beginning your affiliates needs you more to help and guide you. As they learn more about the business they will lean less on your help and advice.

Let the relationship between you and your team follow a natural route. They will need you less but you still have to be available to them should they need help. You have to keep your eyes open and see the signs that they no longer need your help or that they need your help a little longer

One hour is not much therefore you have to make it quality time.

Log in every day
Do all the actions to turn red to green and earn every VP you can possibly earn. This should take you less than an hour once you know the business.
Spend the time you have left to advertise and recruit online. You can do something different every day.

Although you do not have much time you do have a budget - Great! Use it wisely and your $50 will soon start to grow - add a zero behind it and another and another as you grow! Exciting idea isn't it?

First thing I would do is place a standing order and make sure I qualify as EA every month. When you do not have to stress about qualifying you can concentrate on something else.

If you want to be successful you need a team. Everytime you qualify as EA you earn 2 CSA's so you can spend your money on PSA's to go or a share in a S-builder co-op

Once you have a team you can spend some of your budget on incentives or prizes to encourage and reward your movers.

When you start earning money you can plough part of it back into your business and use it to pay for your standing order and rewards and prizes to help your team. Now you can start to spendyour budget on advertising to make sales, recruiting new affiliates - marketing,

Good luck and spend wise - both time and money.
