If you have the financial means, PSAs should be purchased as soon as possible. This can be done through S-Builder Co-op and/or through other co-ops and through the Price Bender auctions or by purchasing them directly at TripleClicks. This is particularly tru if you are not experienced in advertising or you do not have the time required to advertise.

You can easily purchase PSAs if you win them in an auction and have enough MRP to pay for them, thus saving money in the process.

It is always a good idea to place hard-working affiliates into your co-ops and to reward those affiliates with shares of PSAs for a job well done. You can also join a co-op that your sponsor or upline has and gain affiliates through that co-op as well.

because of the numerous choices made available to you by SFI and TripleClicks, be creative and try each option or combinations of options, to see which ones work for you. It cannot hurt to try, and you build a team of affiliates in the process.

If an affiliate complains that he/she is not getting out of SFI what was put into it, check first to see what the affiliate has been doing. See if the affiliate is one of your movers. If so, encourage him/her to give SFI at least a year. Remind him/her that no business rewards with overnight success. It takes hard work to keep any business going. It takes time and money to invest in any business.

If the affiliate is not a mover, check to see if he/she has done anything during the current month or the last 90 days. Give that affiliate the same advice above and show him/her what can be done at the affiliate ledger or the To-Do List to gain more VP. Try to encourage that affiliate. However, if he/she still will not become a mover, there's not much, if anything you can do. Ultimately the choice is up to the affiliate.

I am very happy to answer your question.

Here are the best things that make me proud to be an SFI affiliate.

SFI is a business opportunity that is free to join, with no pressure or coercion.

This business opportunity has a web site that is easy to navigate and is compatible for those with disabilities.

The training is free and is so simple to understand. All the materials are written in language that is easy to read.

Affiliates can learn at their own pace and work as many or as few hours as they are able to work, with no pressure.

Jusst about everything you do in this business has VP value to earn.

Affiliates are supportive and friendly and look out for each other, whether others are on their team or not.

You can make friends with others through A2A.

There is an open-door policy with our president/founder. I have not seen a business, online or offline, that has this! Support and the Forum can be reached any time. You are sure to get an answer. If clarification is needed, support staff will ask questions.

All affiliates have the opportunity to reach the highest goals; it is not for the few. "Aim High, Dream Big," says it all! The business is honest and fair. Payments are made to affiliates on time. If errors are made concerning ranks or other things because something did not work right with the server or some other function, it is noted to all affiliates; and the situation is corrected promptly.

There are always exciting things happening and new ideas and products and changes. You have to keep on your toes by logging in every day so you don't miss out.

Where do you find a business where you have so much fun with a big family all over the world, with auctions and many contests to make things interesting and where you can see the names of those who won and where you can congratulate them?

These are the great things that make me proud to be a part of such a wonderful international business like SFI! It's no wonder I have so much fun telling others about it!

You should definitely welcome that affiliate back with joy and surprise!

Just say that you welcome him/her back and offer your assistance when they need it. Explain that there have been many changes since the last time the affiliate logged in. Be patient and help him/hher start at the beginning again, if needed. Just encourage the affiliate to take whatever time is necessary to learn how to use all the new tools here and to get acquainted with the new affiliates who have joined during the time he/she was absent.

Do not judge the person or the reason why the long absence occurred. Do not bring up the subject. If the affiliate does bring up the subject, just encourage him/her by saying that you are glad things have been resolved and that you are there to help in any way possible and that you look forward to working with that affiliate.

I hope that this is helpful to you.

Both demographics are excellent.

Retired persons have time to spend and sometimes have the monetary resources. many retired persons do not have as much money as they did when working a full-time job. In either case, they can be very useful, because they have the time and the knowledge and the wisdom from many years of experience. They are often eager to learn new skills as well.

Homemakers often need extra income and have some time on their hands when children are at school or are napping. They are eager to learn and are often dependent on income from the working spouse. However, if the spouse has been laid off from work, for whatever reason, this makes it more essential that the homemaker find some way to gain extra income and perhaps convince the other party to join as well.

It is for these reasons that I believe that both demographics are equally good to target ads.

If an affiliate lives in the U.S., PayPal is the best, safe and quickest choice.

If an affiliate lives outside the U.S., PayPal may be available in some countries. In that case, it is a good choice. If not, the card offered at TripleClicks is an excellent choice. Another good choice is TCurrency if an ECA in the country of residence offers them. BidCoin is also another good choice if that is offered by ECAs in the country of residence as well.

SFI offers numerous payment methods for affiliates to use when they cannot use a credit card. See what is offered in that person's country and point out to the affiliate the options available.

You can offer TCredits and a gift certificate to the affiliate, but do that very wisely. Many affiliates have tried to use the gift certificate method as a crutch or as a way to solicit funds from their sponsors or Team Leaders, including upline support, to the detriment of those who are trying to help them and their own business, as they are excluded from being a part of SFI because soliciting is against the rules.

You might also want to place the affiliate into one of your co-ops if he/she is a mover. A person who makes an effort in working this business will sincerely appreciate the help you offer, as long as it doesn't cripple that affiliate.

I'm going to reverse your question. Why shouldn't anyone want to join SFI?

If a person is really looking for some way to build his income and his retirement nest egg and is interested in working with people from all over the world and he is told about a program that does not require any payment to join and the training is free and there are many ways to add to his income and having lots of fun while doing it and lots of help with sponsoring affiliates and referring members and thousands of items in an international store where even members and affiliates can sell their items and where you can bid at auctions and buy those items many times for much, much less than the retail price and where games may be played for enjoyment, then why shouldn't someone want to join?

It's all in the excitement, the excitement you have and you show people when you talk to them or write to them about your business and how that excitement catches on with others.

Be imaginative and stay focused. I hope to see you at the top soon.

The best way to stay in touch with your PSAs and CSAs is to use the tools SFI provides:

Genealogy Team Mail
PSA Mailer
CSA Mailer
Stream.

You can also Email your affiliates. If you have Skype, you can use that. If you have affiliates from your own country or region, you can telephone them as well.

Staying in touch, at least weekly, is very important. When they are doing well, congratulate them. When they are close to gaining the next level, encourage them to gain the VP needed to reach it. If they have questions, be sure to answer them in a timely manner. Welcome messages should be sent as soon as possible to new affiliates.

Don't forget that you can use the instant messaging that SFI provides when the yellow bubble shows up for an affiliate who is online. This is a good way to answer questions and clarify things.

Communication, as often as needed, is imperative to keeping affiliates motivated and interested in this business.

The most important question you should ask the prospect is: "Do you have access to the Internet?" This is vitally important, because SFI is mainly an online business, a worldwide business. It requires logging in each day to really learn how this business works and to gain the valuable VersaPoints (VP) necessary to fully become active.

The only way to sign up for this business is to go to the main affiliate page or to one of the Gateway sites. For this reason, it is necessary to be able to make use of the Internet.

Thank you for asking this question. I hope my answer clarifies this for you.
