The best paid options are the ones that give you the biggest return for your money. All of them start off inexpensive but the longer you stay the more you pay. This is 2 fold. First of all, an ad is only going to pull well for so long until it needs revamping. This is the reason for a split test with ad groups. The more platforms you experiment with the better off you will be. They all have basically the same layout but different algorithymns. They have different features and functions as

The best way that I have found to motivate my downline is to offer gift certificates. Be sure the gift certificate is appropriate for the occasion. I always match the achievement with the gift certificate. I had a CSA make 3 milestones in 1 month. That CS hey I got a 50 dollar gift certificate from me. Talking about motivation, that would almost give sight to the blind!

I will say this. Don't start something that you can't follow up with. If you're having a contest and you're

The cheapest option is always the best. You don't have to set a standing order. Whenever you achieve 1500 versa points you will become an EA. If your were going to set a standing order, I'd go with the IAHBE because it will help you learn how to market your SFI business. This is paramount to larger commissions. Finally the most important thing to remember is regardless of how you get those versa points you need 1500 versa points every month without fail. This guarantees you commissions for life

This is a good question that has a simple answer. According to the compensation plan you earn 2000 VPs from sales/purchases. There are 492 VPs available from action tabs. That gives you 2492 versa points. If you participate actively in Ask SC you can win 300 VPs. Now you are at 2792. Assuming you get all of your daily actions done you can pick up 50 VPs from the Daily Grand. This gives you 2842. If you have 2 active EA2s you will earn 200 VPs and now you are a BTL. There are a 1001 ways

To become a good and proficient leader in SFI one must be in touch with his/her downline. Listen to their concerns. Answer their questions. Guide them along the path they choose to build a successful SFI business. Of course, you must lead by example. But everyone is not tech savvy or marketing savvy. So put yourself in their shoes. What do you expect from your upline? Go and do the same for yours and you will do just fine.

An excellent email to send to those inactive affiliates is one that will grab their attention!

Here's the one I use:

Greetings!

According to my records you have earned less than 600 versa points in the past 90 days. According to your SFI affiliate agreement your account will be closed for inactivity. As such this means that you should:

1. Log in everyday and earn daily log in versa points.

2. You must accrue 600 versa points in a rolling

If you lack the computer skill then you can always learn if you try. But if worse comes to worst then just tell them to ask someone close and they will be glad to help. Where there is a will there is always a way made.

You should always include a "thank you" in every post and then give your team direction based on your best experiences. Your leadership page should have all of your tips and strategies that you are using daily to achieve SFI success. Speak from your experience and let your team know that you have been where they are and that you are interested in getting them where they want to be. Build into their dreams and invest into their business such expertise that they will love and appreciate

Anytime some one reaches out to you, you should do your best to help them. It's only fair to ask if they have tried to reach their sponsor/co-sponsor. If they have but have not gotten a satisfactory response then kindly ask them to send you their affiliate number to your business contact email so that you can add them to your contact list. This way they have opted to receive email from you and you can't be accused of cross solicitation. Otherwise, you may help them just to have their sponsor
