I like playing this game. The secret of the game is to realize that there are 4 cards for each suit. So a bit of strategy will give you the greater probability which card you will pull. Also there are 2 red suits and 2 back suits. There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards. If you think along this train of thought, then you can increase your odds by counting cards. This is what every good card player does.
What are the best methods to distribute TripleClicks TCards to attract PRMs and increase sales?

What I like to do is to pass them out at fairs and flea markets. These are the ideal prospects for TripleClicks because this audience is made up of vendors and bargain hunters! You can get the vendors to become ECAs so you should have some ECA cards. Moreover, the gift cards will do the trick for people who are looking to play games and get deals on popular items that are in demand.
Another way to distribute gift cards is through your bills. You can just tuck a gift card inside with your bill payment. The clerk that tabulates your payment will be surprised that someone thought enough of them to give them a gift card for all of their hard work! Never overlook where you patronize. Ask them can you leave a few gift cards in a conspicuous location. Most will say sure only a few will have an issue with you giving a gift to the customers as a way of saying thanks for their business.
Similarly, you shouldn't overlook face to face interaction. So make it a habit of keeping a few gift cards with you. When you meet someone and strike up a friendly conversation offer them a gift card as a way of saying I appreciate the time you spent with me today. Never over emphasize the fact of checking out the site immediately. Just tell them to check out at their leisure and have fun playing the exciting games.
Finally, there is no single best way to distribute gift cards. You have to be creative. Think of ingenious ways that you can use them or show them off to people. For example, if you work at the office, put 1 in an conspicuous locate near your computer or desk. When one of your co-workers is looking over your shoulders, their curiosity may get the best of them and you can just say "You can have this one on me. Enjoy yourself." Few people will turn down such a gift given with no strings attached. There are literally endless ways undiscovered that will work like a charm so brainstorm a little and write down your ideas. Then test them. The ones that work well continue and the ones that don't scrap.

I want to recruit only SERIOUS affiliates. What should I tell prospects about SFI to ensure this?

In all honesty, even when you have your ideal targeting for your prospects, you will still have people that do not stay the course. Oftentimes, people can have a burning desire to succeed but lack all of the skills needed to progress and likewise, people can have the skills but not have the desire to stay the course. In both of those scenarios, you are unfortunately barking up the wrong tree!
The best thing I can tell you to do about getting serious affiliates is to be serious yourself. Set the expectation and give your PSAs a duplicable plan for success. Never sugar coat the truth and always be consistent in your message, marketing, and your support. Let your PSAs know that they need to follow the leader. Success comes before work only in the dictionary. It will take work to be effective, efficient, and to make good money at anything worthwhile. You need to have an operating budget that you can live with to grow your business. Use all of the free advertising you can. Tell them to devote all the time that they can into their business as often as they can. Finally, provide all of the support you can by improving on yourself and your leadership skills.

Why should an SFI affiliate have his own domain, what are the advantages?

I believe that the affiliate can benefit much from having their own domain. One of the main reason's is control of the content. With your own domain, you decide what goes on your landing page. With your gateways they are customized so that you can get PSAs but you can't change the look and feel of your gateways. This is very important for having a success marketing strategy. PPC advertising is probably the most responsive traffic but ad quality depends highly on search engine optimization which relies on keyword density and relevance. If an SFI gateway is blocked there is nothing one can do to improve the quality score of the page. If you have you own domain you can redesign the page so that your quality scores are high for all leading SEO factors such as meta tags, keyword density, content, anchor text, alt text, etc.
SFI gateways are used by every affiliate so there is no way to differentiate your content and site from the competition. The only distinguishing variables are your badge achievements. With your own domain you can differentiate yourself from the pack and make your message standout above the rest by design.

What do you tell an affiliate who says he's going to quit because nothing is coming of his efforts and hard work?

When an affiliate tells you they are going to quit take it as an indication for help. Now, you can't make people do what they are not willing to do. So first, ask them are they willing to take a few simple actions that you have proven to work for you. If they say yes, then continue if not, try to get a yes by asking why are they so willing to throw in the towel? Then come back to your yes, I am willing to take a few simple actions that are working for you.
First of all, determine what your affiliate is doing correctly and praise them for that. It is important to note their effort in the right direction. Now for the constructive redirection, ask your PSA to focus on just the 3 aspects of the SFI BASICS and daily work. The first SFI BASIC is to sponsor PSAs. If you want a sure-fire plan to get PSAs just set aside $20 each mo. to invest in sponsoring PSAs.
The next SFI BASIC is to refer TripleClicks members. To achieve this, make no less than 5 post on 5 social networks to include Pinterest, Twitter, GooglePlus, Facebook, and Linkedin promoting EagerZebra games and the auctions daily. Moreover, the final SFI BASIC is duplication and I add consistency. Everyone that you bring in the business you must be willing to teach what you do everyday. If you have a transfer buy for a 10pk of TCredits then recommend that they at least do the same. Then go 1 step further to tell them how you use those TCredits and how they add value to your business.
So if you weary PSA is willing to do the aforementioned for 30 days and sees no progress then suggest that they take a couple of days reprieve and try again. If this works for me, it will work for you if you work at it with consistency and optimism.

Is it good for affiliates to have their own ECA store at TripleClicks?

I believe every affiliate should sell something on TripleClicks. It's prime space for an audience that is ready to enjoy consumerism. The demographic of the Tripleclicks domain according to Alexa suggests that most people that visit the site access it from home, are male, and are from india & south africa. This means that those customers are ready to shop TripleClicks because we accept payment for goods and ship to those customer when other major sites and retailers don't.
However, everyone is not meant to be a store owner. It is a grave responsibility and customer service is paramount. TripleClicks is your superstore although having an ECA would sweeten the deal. Never forget that all commissionable products at TripleClicks are tracked by a unique link tied to your affiliate id. You can product a product or another ECA altogether and produce sales. At the end of the day, it's a lot more simple to let someone else handle all of the burden and you can get a piece of the action just by promoting the product or the ECA.

What are the best ways to get AVP (Action VersaPoints)?

The best path to unlimited action versa points come from recruiting an active down line. Every EA in your down line (PSAs 1st Gen.) nets you 100 VP. Create 100 EA2s and you will get 10000 VP. Create 1000 EA2s and you will get 100,000 VP! So it's no wonder that you see the same TLs on the Leaderboards - they are always recruiting. So promote your SFI gateways heavily and you will eventually gain the momentum needed to maintain platinum.
However it does not take 1000s of affiliates to have a very strong business. You only need around 40 EA2s to make platinum. So getting these recruits it only half of the equation. The most important part is keeping them actively engaged in the business. You must give them the information that you have and allow them the space to digest it. Be sure to answer their concerns and always be an awesome sponsor as defined by the affiliate center.

How can I attract people who have money to invest into a business to join my SFI team?

You attract people with money to invest in a business by sponsoring affiliates on a consistent basis. There really isn't a person who doesn't have the means to start in SFI and grow their business through perserverance and hard work. They may not yet realize that they have everything they need to start right now. So it is up to you as the sponsor to set the expectation early on while building rapport.
This said, every affiliate has potential to be the next DTL! Through communication and observation it can be learned how to best help each affiliate. The problem is that most never communicate effectively and ignorance prevails.
Therefore to attract strong affiliates you must become a strong affiliate. You can expect people to follow you where you will not venture to go. The best way is to lead by example. This is where your merit badges can play a very important role in letter your PSAs know how seriously committed you are to your SFI business. When they see that you have been consistent with your achievements it will undoubtedly inspire some to the next level of commitment and achievement.

How can I convince my downline of the benefits of having a Standing Order without them feeling pressured?

The best way to convince your down line of the benefits of having a standing order is to have one yourself. Leading by example is paramount ,however; you must let your affiliates know that the compensation plan is flexible and that there are many ways to achieve commissions.
If you want them to set a standing order for T Credits then let them know that there are many package sizes available. Let them know the many uses of T Credits, e.g.:
1. VP for every bid spent in an auction up to 500 VP
2. 5 MRP for every bid spent in an auction
3. Leverage your T Credits across your network to stimulate participation in auctions.
4. You may purchase from the MRP store with T Credits.
5. Down load music for TripleClicks
Moreover you can even award TCredits to those who have set a standing order. You can offer a gift certificate for those who wish to buy a larger pack of T Credits but need some extra support. Then you will be helping your affiliates to set a standing order and you will not be perceived as just wanted them to set an order for your own personal gain. Make everything a team effort.
