Your TCredits are as good as cash, hence, use them judiciously. TCredits can be used to buy products, as prizes for contests organised up by you, for playing at games, etc. These are all listed in the SFI website.

My advice is to use these to further your SFI business. Participating in auctions gives you a chance to win more TCredits, PSAs, CSAs, domains, units of S Builder Co-op etc. Besides you can get Double MRP on particular auctions. These MRPs can be used to purchase more such products.

Advertising can be done in various forms - word of mouth, press releases, print ads, social media, etc.

In all advertising it is essential to determine your target audience and then decide on the medium of advertisement. For example, retired people have time on their hand and talking to them could be a good option, so also ads in newspapers as many of them read a lot.

Your advertisement must start with an attention captivating sentence/phrase - one that appeals to the person.

These are two separate categories of potential clients/ affiliates/ team leaders. There is absolutely no need to choose one and neglect the other group. Both have to be addressed differently

Target each group according to their perceived needs of financial security, making productive use of their time, helping others, convenience of ordering from home and getting products delivered at the doorstep, savings etc.

Building your team with active members from both these target groups

Offline classes or seminars are a great idea to promote SFI and TripleClicks and to disseminate knowledge about the business and the opportunity it provides affiliates.
I assume you have already contacted people who are interested in joining as affiliates.

The first thing you will need is an appropriate venue to conduct the classes or seminars. If your residence is conveniently located and you have sufficient space, you could use this as a cost effective option. Otherwise you will

What long-term goal(s) should an affiliate be setting for themselves?

Affiliates should normally have their long term goal set to making SFI a paying business so that they are in a position to depend entirely on this source of income.

In achieving this goal, there are several sub-goals that they can set themselves:

1. Educating themselves about the SFI opportunity and gaining an expert level of knowledge of the methods to be used and the business model.

2. Building an active and vibrant team

3. Setting up promotion websites,

The best way to get good content for your SFI Blog is to write it yourself. All it takes is some effort on your part. The SFI website itself has a lot of matter which can be used. You can also collate material to make up new articles.

Some authors do not mind sharing their articles freely or while imposing certain conditions to be met. You can et in touch with the authors of articles that you like to ask for permission to repost the articles. This would not be infringing on their copyrights.

Which marketing methods should we be recommending to our new PSAs?

The marketing methods recommended would be determined based on two main criteria:
1. Their ability and experience
2. Their capacity to invest in the business

Affiliates who have no previous experience in marketing can try their hands at contacting people (word of mouth), distributing pamphlets, classified advertisements as well as promotion on social media and online platforms. They would be well advised to start out by contacting friends and family who would be more receptive

Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

There is a difference between bribing and promotion. Bribing is aimed at gaining undue favours. Gift Certificates, TCredits and other incentives would certainly not come within this category.

As human beings, the expectation of rewards gets the best out of us. It prods us on to give our best and work to our full potential.

In my opinion Gift Certificates, TCredits and other incentives will work well to encourage your team to do its best, thereby benefitting each member of the

Which is most effective for advertising SFI...a regular hosted website or a blog about SFI?

I suggest you go in for both if you can devote sufficient time. Each one work differently and has its advantages. Both will help you to attract more traffic to SFI and TripleClicks which will enhance your earnings.

A blog about SFI has the advantage of containing information specifically relating to SFI and its business. A person looking for details about SFI will find it very useful. However it could appear too much like a advertising site which can put off some online users.

How do you convince someone that they can earn a substantial income with SFI?

Convincing people that SFI can yield them substantial income can be quite a tough task especially if the person concerned is an unbeliever.

In my opinion, the best way to go ahead is to explain the power of duplication. You could use the story about the man who designed the chess board and presented it to the King. The King was impressed and asked the person to name his reward. The wise man asked the king to give him one grain of rice on the first square, two on the second, four on the
