Hi Rosafilipina,

I would focus on all the action points - there are only 12 action VP per day from the red tabs and they can be achieved literally in just 15 minutes per day.

The downline should definitely do those - 15 minutes a day and you have 360 action VP at the end of the month. Then the weekly and monthly actions should be done - the weekly are just one team mail using the genealogy mailer, check the T-Connect page and 3 streams - again, probably just 15 minutes

Hi Ibrahim,

Everyone is capable of building a successful SFI business in my opinion! If they are willing to put themselves into it - that's the key.

SFI gives us all the tools. If you are willing to log in each day to earn your action versapoints, and learn something new, then you are capable of building a successful business here!

Just log in each day, complete your daily actions - also do the few monthly and weekly actions, set up a standing order of 1500

Hi Kolawole,

The best way I think will be to introduce them to TripleClicks - show them the variety of products for sale, the games, music downloads, and penny auctions. Also let them know that they can sell their own used products on there.

Then advise them to introduce the same to their family, friends and co-workers. This can all be done, and they can begin earning money from SFI, with no online skills at all. They can also purchase PSA's through the S-Builder Co-op

Hi Deniece,

Great question! I'm not sure where to start - I love much about SFI, but if I had to answer with just a few things, it would be:

- It's a business that I can run on my own time. I can earn money each day with little time invested - or I can choose to spend more time, and possibly more monetary investment, and earn even more. It's all up to me and how much I want it.

- The SUPPORT that SFI gives us is second to none - everyone is willing to help,

Hi Ritu,

Good question - first, I would space out my action VP for one-time actions, such as LaunchPad, and reading the support indexes, over the first 2 or 3 months. Just do the minimum each month to remain EA or - it's even possible with a standing order to be team leader for the 1st 3 months just from all the action points you can get when starting.

Being team leader gives you bonus t-credits each month, matching VP on PSA and CSA EA2 versapoints, and 2nd home CSA's.

Hi Zoran - yes, you definitely can. By spreading out the VP you can earn upon starting with SFI, you can easily achieve EA the first 2 months, possibly the first 3 months, without spending any money at all.

If you have some friends that you can get to do the same thing, then you get AVP when they become EA2 status. If you have enough friends, family, co-workers that become EA2 - combined with your AVP, you can continue to remain EA status each month without spending anything.

Eventually,

Hi Ana!

I think the best strategy is simply to promote this as something they can do on the side - in their spare time - with little time and monetary investment.

I think people that age are focused, and rightfully so, on earning an income to live on. SFI should definitely be considered a supplementary income for them - but can be promoted as a good source of supplementary income for them with minimal effort - so it wouldn't detract from their work at their job which

Which is best...advertising individual TripleClicks products or the entire TripleClicks store?

Hi Bulau,

I definitely think advertising the entire store is the best approach.

Advertising just individual products can be limiting, although you might occasionally advertise a deal of the day or something like that.

But the entire store is the best way to go because:

1) There are SO many products to choose from - you can use categories in your ads
2) It's more than a store - in advertising the entire store, you can also promote.....

Hi Redonna,

Great question and I think the answer is seen with our entire culture. We live in a world of instant gratification - everyone wants what they want and want it fast. Look at how the pace of the world is increased with technology.

There are loads of people out there who are looking for a 'get rich overnight' deal (which they won't be able to find) and think that SFI is their ticket. I also believe SFI could focus sometimes on the 'FREE to Join' aspect. It's

What is the best plan to give your new PSAs to help them get started...from day one through their third month in SFI?

I think the best way to help them get started is to:

1) Encourage them to get 500VP in the first day for Fast Track.
2) Encourage them to read the LaunchPad series where they will learn all about SFI.
3) Continue to remind them of these two things:
a) Keep things simple - there is so much training here and different ways to build your business, but in the end it's a very simple 3-step program - become EA and stay EA, find 4-5 others to do the same, teach those 4-5
