This is a great question and a challenge to accomplish in this virtual world.
However, here are some important steps that might help...
First, you need to undestand that you will never ever get all of your team members to join in any team community spirit and very far from it;
Second, you want to be very present yourself in working with the ones that really want to be working with you... through regular email or chat communications;
Third, you can create some contests and incentives

Great question! Thank you!
Here is what I do and I think it works.
1.Building a friendship with the Team and improving the relationship every day. We’re living in Industrial Era and we can always be online and see face to face online the person. Here Trust is the word.
2.Listen to Team member’s stories. It can be joy, sadness, family life, daily matters, anything at all and you should be by your team member side. Here I can say Communication is the key to successful team work.

Not everybody is having same ability and interest. Group your team. Affiliates who answer your emails and show more interest, have no language difficulties and can understand you quickly, put them into your first priority group. Then:
1. Pay special attention to them.
2. Offer them Gift Certificates, TCredits, Re-assignments and anything motivating & encouraging them.
3. Communicate with them regularly. Be available whenever they need you.
4. Use Skype/Google+/Webinar to train

Be responsive. Cultivate the sense of responsibility within.

Never disappoint your down-line who trust you.

Have faith in SFI. Have faith in you.

Trust SFI Trust yourself.

You would build a confident down-line only if you have the same in you and the business you are in.

This is possible only by knowing about the business and its vast possibilities.

Be honest in your approach.

Never promise anyone the Moon just because

This is a great question to increase each one's knowledge, one way of sharing what to do.

1. As a Team, It needs cooperation, understanding, moral support, lifting up one another.

2. Treat everyone as your brothers and sisters, as if you belong to a one big family.

3. Teach them if they feel uncomfortable, so they could participate. share what you have learned
so they will get an idea.

4. Once they fully equipped, that's the best way to participate

The best way to inspire a TEAM needs the fundamentals of management. For developing a TEAM sPIRIT, you must co-ordinate your all members in all that activities you do.
Communication is the first thing. Regular contact develops a sense of faithfulness and friendliness and then of being one.
Easy availability of yours as and when required makes the feeling strong.
Lastly rewarding them and asking them to do the same i.e. Lead by your example will surely inspire a sense of TEAM Participation.

To inspire a team you must be a good leader, everyone is always looking for someone to go to ... to make them feel better or to calm the frustrations when they come about...this has to be you!

Help your downline, set up contests, send re-assigments, acknowledge their achievements and share them with others, Stream Talk is a great way to show your downline that people ARE succeeding and that they can do the same!

Make your downline a part of YOUR team and they will do the same

You can quickly see this in children. Children act like their parents. They use the same bad language. They have the same attitudes.

In the office you will see it too. If the boss/supervisor/director/president has poor attitudes, the staff will too. If
