EA status is the key to SFI success!
You can invest in advertising while gaining VP towards your EA status in many ways:
Purchase PSA'a or even CSA's directly!
purchase "hits" form one of our ECA's
purchase S-Builder shares
use your T-Credits or awarded MRP to make your purchases.
a single T-Credit purchase won't get you much leverage but you can use the 102 vp to get to that magic 1500
or you can purchase a larger T-Credit pack and gain even more MRP

I always start with my To-Do list and then move on to communication with my team! Then I move on to the Forum and checkout a new subject each day! I recommend rereading the SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD daily, one lesson each day! Every read through brings me new insight and resolve! I then spend a few minutes on the Eager Zebra Games and check out the days Auctions. I then spend some time on my advertising for online and live recruits. I am setting up a Informational Coffee Meeting with my sponsor that

I find that the Eager Zebra Games can be a great way to introduce the SFI/TripleClicks program to new potential members. (I also use the Battle of The Bands)!
The games are fun, well designed and provide an entry point that gets past the auto-defences that sometimes come up when talking about On-line Business opportunities.
You can also earn some very important Action VP, which is important as you are learning how to best motivate and inspire your team!
You also learn some cool facts

In order to decide what might be appropriate or attractive to another person you must know them, either personally or as a market segment.
If you know the person even casually you can engage them in conversation and learn what their goals and perceived need and wants are.
if you don't know them then you must make blanket decisions based on their know passions, likes and dislikes as a member of an identified subgroup
for example as a lawyer or other professional or a business person

My approach is to use both Wave3 and S-Builder.
I find they compliment each other, and both can lead ultimately to a team of PSA's that you can help to mold into a winning team, as long as you put in the time to communicate with each team member.
Wave3
Signing them up through Wave3 does not stop you from recruiting and sponsoring them as SFI affiliates it is merely a different path. If they don't join SFI then you still have the royalties on their purchases which helps the short

I believe that the one thing you can offer them is a successful mentor who is ready to assist them in their quest to be successful as well!
What does this mentorship consist of:
1) Sharing your knowledge and experience: Your successes (and failures)
2) Listening to each associate and getting to know them. What makes them tick, what are their strengths, weaknesses, tendencies.
3) Helping each affiliate to set up a plan that employs their strengths while allowing them to learn to

You do not state what your routine and approach have been! However there are a few things I would suggest.
Do the entire to-do checklist everyday without fail.
Play the free games to gain MRP and get a strong sense of purpose.
Do everything you can to learn the SFI methods and rules for success. Read the tips news and Forum daily!
Start looking at your marketing and start getting the message out there in person and on line.
Contact each of your PSA's and CSA's ...if you

I would start by telling them that SFI is not a quick fix, it is a proven method of earning long-term income to prevent the kind of "emergencies" that they find themselves in now!
If they need a quick fix then they should look for it as well! if they are merely impatient then they will have to learn, usually fro painful personal experience, that all good things take time to develop. Starting any business takes time, effort and a willingness to learn in the real world, and we are in

Perhaps it is a matter of how you use the language and your intention is not accurately portrayed by your choice of words.
But based on your question I believe that you must alter your attitude towards your PSA's and CSA's!
They are our associates not our employees or possessions!
Do you criticize your friends and family? Or. do you give them friendly advice and tips based on your experience and research?
Terms such as: "I have found success doing...."
or
"Have

I always advise my team to use PPA's if they are in a tight financial position as it can help them raise the funds they need to expand their success on-line.
I believe that every tool Gery and his team have made available to us is valuable and should be a part of our balanced plan at the right time, we must decide when and if we want to use each tool on a regular review basis. timing and and review are the key no tool is as useful at every stage.
My personal thought is that Warm Marketing
