No negativity. No long, drawn-out, wordy ads.

Use constructive descriptions, always with a positive slant.

ALWAYS be truthful - no exaggerations, income promises (YOU can't keep it, only they can), don't tell them they can successfully manage their business in just "...a few minutes per day..." while knowing full well that most days will require more time (sponsoring, advertising, games, etc.).

Don't overcrowd your ad, keep it simple and intriguing, thereby

Advise them in your welcome letter to proceed to Start, SFI Basics and Launchpad lessons before they do much else. Structures are easier built and maintained when they start from sound foundations.

And the New Member Pack (NMP) is one of the best building blocks to steer your new affiliates toward. This one purchase will benefit them in many important ways and stays in effect as long as they are members of SFI!!

The best advice I can think of to give them is Read, Learn, DO!

I would suggest encouraging beginners to try setting up a blog about SFI and one for TripleClicks, then advertise them on Facebook and Twitter, Linkedin, etc., to start with, since so many people seem to be very familiar and comfortable with these sites.

Later, they can spread their wings out to their own domains, advertise them in the same places, pull visitors in so they can present more information to them.

Also, on TConnect, let their intro be a mini-ad for Eager Zebra games,

Why is it good to participate in ANY game?

When you play a game, you are at least momentarily diverted from other problems, stresses that may be at work in your mind, allowing both mind and body to relax a little. Then it's easier to go back to focusing on growing your SFI business.

Not to forget the fact that games ARE fun, there are also frequently rewards, especially with SFI!! :D Just look at Time Machine, the VP amount you could win all/part of is ENORMOUS, and will grow

How do I assure that duplication happens in those I sponsor?

That, I assure you, you cannot do! Remember that "...lead to water, can't make them drink" saying? That's why I say you cannot assure duplication.

On the other hand, you CAN do everything in your power to teach your downline how to gain the same knowledge you have! Be in close contact with them their first week or so, guiding them to the well of information available to them, make suggestions for things they can do to help themselves, point them to the Path of Success.

How can we determine beforehand what are good spots to advertise?

Find a site that lists places to advertise, then do some research. Investigate their reputation, successfulness of where and how your ads are advertised. Is the site new? Is it overused?

What and to whom you want to advertise will also have bearing on where you advertise.

To find ad spots that will be of help to you will require some homework on your part, but will be well worth it in the long run.

Best wishes:))...

I hope this answer to your excellent question is helpful, Gabriela...

Utilize ALL the training from SFI to its, and your, maximum potential. The training here is so thorough, and easy to understand/follow, that leading the team you create should come almost naturally.

Take the time to truly understand what you study, follow the steps, ask for advice in the Forum and from your upline if you have questions you cannot find an answer for.

Once you arm yourself with knowledge,

Should I buy PSAs or learn how to sponsor them myself?

I would suggest some of both. I recommend at least 1 unit of S-Builder Co-op ($22 for 280 VPs) in your SO. It takes several weeks for P/CSAs to begin showing up, then it's quite often. Not all of them will be producers, but you have not expended a large amount of time or money to recruit them, either. And you might just find a diamond!

Buying PSAs will also cost money, I think the price varies with the seller. There are several ECAs at SFI who sell PSAs. Again, not all of them will produce,

The nice part about Skype is being able to see and talk to each other instantly, as though you were sitting at a table having conversation with your friend!!

You can present your offer, and see/hear immediately their response, get a better feel for how they are receiving your information. Questions arise in a person's mind, they can ask and be answered right then and there, and answers usually lead to more questions and answers!!:))

You can both feel face to face without

Can I set up my SFI business to run on autopilot? If so, how?

You can only run your business on autopilot to a point. You still must come every day to clear red tabs, do the other regular tasks to maintain your rank.

Once you get your team established, they will mostly (hopefully!!) be self-sufficient so you may concentrate on training newbies, advertising, blogging, updating, etc.

While your team continues to duplicate itself, you can let them more or less take care of themselves, but I believe there are too many other aspects that
