For me, running a contest is just a secondary, what is important for them to get motivated
is the capacity for them to earn VP monthly up to 1500 or more. Reaching from EA up to Platinum level, that is already a contest for everybody. If you are determined
to do your task daily and earn as much as you could, that is already a sign of being motivated.

I think having contests and providing prizes is a great way to get psa´and csa´s motivated.Not all of them will participate(go figure)but, it´s definitely worth it for those that do.

The contests that my sponsor runs always motivates me because it provides an additional incentive for doing things that I need to do anyway to build my SFI business. I have tried running contests myself, and I have had good results from them. I use the Stream to keep just the affiliates eligible for the contest up-to-date on who is doing well in the contest. I also use the PSA Mailer to inform my PSAs of the details of the contest and provide tips for how they can succeed in the contests. Contests are a great motivational tool.

We are trying to build a company within a company, so we should run it accordingly.
Gery and SFI run many contests at the same time, so every affiliate feels like they can win something every day and they want to do more.

- In our team we have a contest awarding achieving EA2 and BTL every month (5 and 10 Tcredits respectively). We also have started a contest for our PSAs, that they will get reassignments if they sponsor affiliates of their own on a regular basis.

- Good idea to remind your team about the contest in the team mail as well as post the progress and the list of contest winners.

- You should not spent crazy amount of money on the contest, the main goal is to identify the go-getters in your team and encourage them to do more.

I have tried to understand what use it will be.I found it useful in motivating affiliates but personally I am low at resources in order to reward my team.In due course of time I may start encouraging my team through reward system on their achievements.

I know that prizes are a valuable way to get yout team motivated and a good incentive for them to see the fun a beneficial way to gain a strong team but i have found that i did that but noone in my downline even tried to get to that point but nevertheless, it is still effective.

I have been running the contest for two months now. No participation :(. I guess it has to do something about the PSA-es as well, since all my PSA-es are passive.

Keep trying thou, it will cost you nothing if no one participates and if they do then you achieve your goals.
