The best way to attract visitors to any page is to advertise it. You have to promote any site on the web in order to have consistent visitors. There are 1001 ways to do it for free. None of them work until you use them. You can not get traffic without advertising.
You can not make people buy what they do not need.
The goal of advertising is to help the visitor in the buying process. Help them to understand why what you are offering will be able to help them. Getting traffic is just one part of the equation. The other part is getting customers. All of this depends on your marketing strategy.
Your marketing strategy should include a process that reveals who your ideal customers are, what they are looking for, what price they are willing to pay, how you will deliver the product, and all the costs involved. Most Tripleclicks members post things with no idea of who their ideal prospect will be. Finally, your advertising should be track and measured for improvement so you can attract your ideal customer.

How do you ensure that the TCards you send out are used...and what do you do when they are not?

You can not make anyone use your cards. You have the gift card tracker that tells you when the codes have been redeemed. If a card is not redeemed in a certain period of time you can issue that code to another person. Gift cards never expire so you don't lose them. The code is in the tracking report and can be assigned to someone else.
I use online promotions to distribute gift cards. You have to be careful about current members asking you for cards! So if a person requests for a code it is a good idea to ask them for their id no. If they have number they are already in TripleClicks. If not you can give them a code. When they redeem the code they will become a PRM.
If you hand cards to people tell them they have a certain amount of time to use the card or the code may no longer be available. Risk of loss is a powerful emotional trigger and perhaps some will take action in that time. If not you may assign the code to someone who is ready to take advantage of all TripleClicks has to offer.

SFI has great ways to communicate with your team, but am I missing out by not using outside resources too like email, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?

If you fail to use other resources to communicate with your team, you may not be missing out on much. Your affiliates can contact you while you are online in the business center. There isn't a need to allow your business to invade your personal life. Everyone needs boundaries. So when you are online, that is the time to communicate.
On the contrary, being accessible on the fly may be something that you like. Then you can implement all of the resources you can handle. SFI mail has limitations. So I do use my personal email accounts to communicate with my team. I've used skype, facebook, and spoken with some of them on the phone. I will do what I can to support my team but there are limits.

Some PSAs are fast learners and others are slow. You can't give the fast learners too much information and you will definitely choke those that take their time to digest information. So how do you balance? Treat all of your PSAs as if they were totally new to marketing online. Make it plain and simple. Then when they ask you for more and some will then give them more a little at a time. It's akin to spoon feeding. The baby will let you know when they want more!
The analogy is not intended to insult anyone but it is so very true. If PSAs don't respond to your emails then they are disengaged and 'fed up'. As long as they are opening your emails and engaging with the content then you know they are digesting the material.

I can understand that it can be difficult to measure your progress in SFI. Let me just say that what you should not do is any of the following:
1. Expect overnight success.
2. Don't compare your progress to anyone. Everybody's situation is different. We all come from different backgrounds.
3. Never quit learning and improving your business.
What should you do to measure your success?
1. Are your doing everything you can to grow your business?
2. Are your making more money than you did last month with your SFI business?
3. Are you learning something to improve you business on a continual basis?
4. Are you building strategic alliances to help you strengthen your business in areas where you are weak?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions then I'd say that you are achieving some measure of success with your SFI business. Success is a process and not a destination. So one has to keep improving, learning, and growing to achieve any measure of success in SFI.

My approach to these prospects is to focus of the simple 3 step plan. I reassure them that I have been in SFI for many years, and my upline has been in SFI even longer. I let them know that SFI is a solid opportunity and has been around for over 15 years. I give them step by step instructions that a 8th grader can follow.
Don't over complicate anything about SFI. Let your prospects know that you will walk them through each phase that they must go through. Give them your personal phone# and email so that they can reach you anytime. Everyone feels reassured when they have someone that can mentor them through the process.

How can I earn 1000 AVP for the status of BTL if I do not have any team members yet?

How can I earn 1000 AVP for the status of BTL if I do not have any team members yet?
There are many ways to do this and some just Spin & Win 1000 AVP! Nonetheless, you can simply plan to earn those 1000 AVP from building a network of active affiliates. Just because you don't have active members now, doesn't mean that you can't get them. Don't sell yourself short. Beef up your marketing strategy and sponsor about 100 PSAs. Of those 10 are likely to become EA. Depending on the quality of your PSAs it is easy for new members to make BTL because of all the training AVP. Then your are awarded the 100 AVP for TL support in the same month that you sponsored them plus another 100 AVP.
Likewise, you may consider sponsoring ECAs. Every approved ECA nets you 100 AVP. Promote your ECA gateway everywhere you can and you are likely to gain 10 so that you will have 1000 AVP. Moreover, you could do a combination transfer buy that nets you SVP and AVP. For example you could make small purchases from ECAs before the 15th of the month so that you will be able to rate each of them before the end of the month. For less than 120 bucks you could transfer buy 40 items for 40 reviews that would give you 1000 AVP!
Finally, one of my favorite ways to get AVP is ASK SC! Become a top author and get anywhere from 25 to 100 AVP per entry. There are about 30 entries available each month. Follow good writing practice and proofreading skills and voila you could get that 1000 AVP from just 10 answers and I've seen this done. Find a combination that fits your goals and budget and go for it.

How can I get my TripleClicks Gateways to generate sales?

Getting your TripleClicks gateways to generate sales is a matter of knowing where to advertise and keeping your advertising consistent. A thorough understanding of how search engine traffic works is important. To gain this knowledge, one must actively promote and track your ads for performance. Getting traffic is one thing, but getting sales is a horse of a different color.
Too many affiliates think that just because they post a few banners, 5 links, some text ads and send a few hundred emails that sales are going to start pouring in. This has been the misconception in general with e-commerce. When in actuality, selling online is no different from selling online. In order for your prospect to buy from you in either case they must:
1. Have the power to make a purchase
2. Have a need or want that can be fulfilled by a purchase
3. Know how to find the product/service they need/want to purchase
With this no business would be able to sustain itself. So where are your customers? How are you going to reach them? Do they have buying power? What product or service do they need? How will they find your gateway out of the millions of gateways online? When you have the answers to these questions, you began to see how to generate sells with your TripleClicks gateways.
Location is just as important to ecommerce as it is to brick & mortar retailers. To gain high visibility of your gateway, it needs to be positioned in a top ranking position on a top ranking traffic exchanges. You can find top ranking traffic exchanges by goggling the term. Then you have to follow through with your promotional efforts to get ranked on the exchange. All of this effort is done so that your gateway is visible when a prospect is looking for anything your gateway is relevant to. Content is king so if you are wanting to attract a large number of EagerZebra game players; then your gateway needs to rank high in a traffic exchange ranked by Google for those key terms. This is a reference to a consistent frequent marketing strategy that will position your gateway for organic traffic from the search engines. The more marketing done the more relevant your ad becomes and the higher it ranks in the exchanges and the search engines. This leads to more sales over time.

How can I further engage my SFI affiliates on social media sites like Facebook?

To engage your SFI affiliates on social media sites like Facebook you should start a group and create a fan page. I have both. I try to interact with my constituents at a few times per week. With a heavy work load, this can be challenging to say the least. Never the less to maximize your social media experience you should post as often as you can and avoid posting only affiliate links. Remember that social media sites are first of all social.
Create social content using tags and hash marks to make your content searchable. Post things about yourself, local news of interest, world events, things you like, celebrity news and the like and mix in a promo every 5 to 8 posts. Optimal social sharing is achieved by posting consistently and as often as possible.
Secondly, these are media outlets. People love to listen to music, and watch videos. I have a you tube channel and I subscribe to a music channel. Share the videos and music you love and build a following. The key is consistency and frequency.
Putting all of this together gives you a dynamite way to connect with your affiliates as well as prospect for others. When you can connect with other people's interests, and culture then you truly create the most dynamic social engagement. People like people who like what they like. Don't be afraid of liking someone else's page or retweeting someone else's tweet on twitter. To do so will only inhibit the very thing that you are trying to achieve through your social media outlets and that is engagement with your audience. So have fun tweeting and retweeting; liking and posting on other peoples wall and achieve not only the goal of engagement but also the goal of creating a huge and loyal following.

What are the best ways to use printed flyers to attract PSAs/PRMs/ECAs?

The best way to use printed flyers is to place them on community bulletin boards. You can find them at some stores and you should talk with a member of management before you place your flyer on the bulletin board. Stores don't want to create clutter nor promote for their competition. So speak with a manager and assure them that what you offer does not conflict with the store's brands. Skipping this step can get you in hot water and at the least your flyer will wind up in the trash can.
Churches also have bulletin boards. Again, be cautious because some of the presbytery will not want anything but church related events and functions on the board. So speak with the person in charge of the postings and get permission to put a flyer on the board.
Finally, remember the key to passing out literature is to get permission first. Never leave your flyers in places where someone may become offended and flag the corporate image of the company. Most government buildings don't allow solicitation so please don't do it. This includes a lot of public places too like parks, and libraries. So whenever there is doubt ask and follow the right course of action to present a more professional image.
