This is a good question. The best way to make SFI simple is to always follow the BASICS. Refer. Sponsor. Duplication. Here's how we can break this down in bits and pieces.
Referring TripleClicks members is just a matter of sharing TripleClicks products and services. The best form of advertising is word of mouth. So tell everyone you feel would be genuinely interested in saving money, earning money, winning prizes, and contest online. No wonder the TripleClicks marketplace is quickly growing. Secondly, gift cards are excellent marketing tools to re-enforce your message. They give an incentive to your prospect to go and find out what all the excitement is about.
Sponsoring SFI affiliates is how we create a network of business minded people who are working toward a common goal. Affiliates believe strongly in the business model that drives commissions. This is active participate in the TripleClicks marketplace. For affiliates, it's not just about the shopping experience but create a solid business that creates long term wealth.
Duplication is the driving mechanism that creates residual income. An affiliate can have a business with SFI selling other peoples products and make good money in time. However, becoming a team leader and teaching others to do the same will goes affiliate incomes to grow exponentially over time. It doesn't take a very large team to create a 6 figure income but it does take an agressively active on. Remember this, together everyone achieves more (TEAM)! Team is the best of both worlds working in harmony to create a future that is strong and prosperous. Following this model we are never alone so if you need help just ask! - Aiming Higher & Dreaming Bigger! Wilg

I am interested in utilizing webinars in my marketing and training my downline. How should I go about this?

If you are interested in doing webinars be sure that you do all of your homework on the subject. There is plenty of information and tools out there. Don't forget Youtube has training videos for many topics to build your business. All technology is not created equal so Google Hangouts will work differently than skype group conferences and so will GoToMeeting software. They have limits and you should be familiar with the limits.
Always be prepared for the worst during your presentation. I've been on many webinars that were a complete disaster because of technical issues. Be aware of these nuances. I say ultimately your webinar should be to educate and not to entertain. People have things to do so don't waste folks time with tired jokes and your favorite music tunes. They are on that webinar to get the 'meat and potatoes' so give it to them! Answer all of their questions at the end of the webinar.

How to go about setting up local meetings or seminars to recruit PSAs and PRMs?

If you want to have local meeting to recruit PSAs and PRMs then you need to host the event at a prominent place in your hometown and have a prominent speaker to come and speak on the subject of "Living the Dream With Strong Future International". So you will need to work out the fee with the speaker and most speakers set their own fees. For example, what I did is invite my Platinum Team Leader to come to my event. You will need to have an alternate just in case your first choice bails out at the last minute.
You need to find a place to accommodate such a gathering. Many cities have conference space that they rent out. Others have a public place that you can use for free - like a school auditorium. The facilities coordinator needs to be contacted and you must explain what you are going to be doing for your event so he/she can help you set up your room. If you are a graduate of a university then that's great because they will allow you to use space sometimes. Once you have the location in place all of the technical peripherals will need to be hooked up. If the group is small, then perhaps your local library will allow you to teach a class on making extra money working from home.
Next, you need to work on publicity. I was able to your internet radio done by my sponsor to promote my local event. Radio is relatively inexpensive but continued ads running can cost a pretty penny. I highly recommend doing 4 30sec radio spots on your local radio station if you can afford it. Otherwise, you can use card deck advertising to send out postcards promoting your event. You can also post up flyers for the event with the date, time, local, and any pertinent details such as who the keynote speaker is going to be.
The day of your event you need to be prepared. Don't ever show for an event unprepared. You need to have a specific agenda and goal in mind. Maintain control of the event and move the participants toward a definite decision as you would with any other prospecting tool. Follow up with every participants whether they join or not and survey them to find out where you can improve for your next event.
Finally, make the local event a team effort. Share the prospects with all of the team members that participate in the event equally. Allow some of your teammates to have leadership roles during the process. This spreads out the workload and improves the likely hood of success.

How to explain to new affiliates the value of becoming a Fast-Track member?

I am fully persuaded that you can not persuade new affiliates who just don't have the right mind-set toward becoming a Fast-Track member. You can discern who is open to the idea and who is not. Don't waste your time trying to persuade someone that is looking for a free ride.
Use the profile to determine why they have no money to invest. Having no money is not the issue. Not having the desire and willingness to do and work is. As the sponsor you must ask the right questions of your affiliates to determine how you can help them become a Fast-Track member or not.
Assuming you have an open-minded affiliate to work with, all you have to do is give the gateway and let them read for themselves what is listed on the page and let them know that if they have questions that you are happy to answer them.
You never win by trying to force people to do something they are unsure of. Let them settle it in their hearts and minds and watch the magic happen.

How do you use traffic exchange websites to drive traffic to your SFI gateways?
Williams Ford, Aff (Georgia, US)

Affiliate since: 07/02/2024, Power Rank: 99999999
The concept of traffic exchanges is simple. You have to view other marketers ads to have your ads seen. It's a give and take. Most exchanges require that you surf so many pages to have your ads in constant rotation. Again, this is a give and take. Most marketers don't realize that they get more than what they give when they use effective landing pages and spend the time necessary to rank in the search results.
Over the years, search engines change how they evaluate data to index pages which will allow them to get more organic traffic from them. Despite, these changes basic concepts like link popularity, content relevance, stickability, alt tags, meta tags, and all the rest still play into the equation of traffic to your SFI gateways. Bottomline, if you place your gateways on high ranking exchanges and maximize hits on those exchanges your gateways will get more relevance in the search results and more potential sign ups.
Armed with the knowledge of how the traffic exchanges work, one can drive high traffic by using a plethora of high quality sites. Then tracking serves to show which exchanges yield PSAs not hits. The quality of the PSAs will vary but a star PSA can just as easily come from a free source as a paid source. The difference is in the volume of hits and PSAs acquired when you compare free and paid ads. So I use traffic exchanges to get traffic, search engine ranking, and PSAs. The most important factor is getting PSAs when it comes to any source of advertising.

How do I get my affiliates to understand the amazing opportunity offered by SFI?

You can not get people to understand what they refuse to see. SFI is simple and straightforward. Keep it simple. Work with your workers. The inactive affiliates are just dead weight. Sure, keep sending them messages once a week to let them know that you do care but know that you can not do anything to change a person's mind when they are determined to do or not do something.
The affiliates that see the opportunity are the one's you should concern yourself with. Even those affiliates sometimes will burn out. I had a Gold Team Leader that just drop out because they said it was a waste of their time. They were looking for sudden success - that $2000 dollar pay day. Scores of EAs have come along the way and then just fizzled out. That $.25 pay day was the killer! However, most affiliates fail to follow through with the appropriate actions that lead to commissions, e.g. selling products.
Trust me all team leaders have inactive members. The key is that good team leaders realize that it is a matter of sorting and sifting. You have to keep building and let the cream rise to the top. The 'dregs' just get tossed to the wind. You are looking for those that get it and not those that don't.

Apart from the 125 TCredits pack, what other Standing Order product with 1500 VP would you suggest to replace IAHBE?

I would suggest that you pick a product that you use either daily and need for business. If that one doesn't give you 1500 VP, pick another in conjunction with that one. I'd pick as many as you need to achieve your goal. If you are unsure what to pick, just take a pad and a pencil or pen to your bathroom. Write down some items you notice you use regularly that you can buy economically on Tripleclicks. Do the same for the kitchen, the bedroom, and the living room. I assure you you will find more items than your money can buy! Just 1500 VP makes EA2 but 2000 VP from purchases count toward TL qualification so do all you can afford.

You can let them know that social media is the missing link to connect their ECA to their local market. While TripleClicks is a global marketplace, there are features built in to help ECAs cater to their local market. For example, LocalPay, allows customers who are in proximity of the business to pick up and avoid the shipping cost.
Moreover, let the ECA know that they call link products from their TripleClicks account to their Pinterest, Facebook, and twitter accounts. All of these accounts allow the end user to share content to a specific audience through ad targeting from a business account. As their following grows, they can use the marketing tools on the social media platforms to offer special incentives to their followings etc.

Depending on the answers to the above questions you can gage if you are dealing with a serious prospect or someone that is just curious.

So survey your prospects with pertinent questions, weigh their interests and then respond accordingly.
Giving too much information is only going to confuse them and if you don't give enough then at least if the want to know more they can always contact you.

No you do not have to wait until you have your own domain or blog to be successful with SFI. Start right where you are. If you have $10 or not, start with what you have. Too many of us make excuses for our own failure to act and follow through. If I had a website, if I had a blog, I don't understand, Why can't I, etc., etc., etc. If we expend as much energy in taking steps toward our success instead of making excuses why we don't have success; we all would be more successful. The key to success is a succession of appropriate actions executed in succession over time and tracked for improvement.
Get good at planning the right steps to execute your plan and you can have all the success you need in SFI. Having a blog, or a domain, or a website in an of itself is not going to make you any more successful that the day you started SFI. It's what you do with those things that impact your success. Take the appropriate action to have good success.
