In my honest opinion, I'd have to say TCredits. S-builder units are wonderful but they don't generate immediate commission volume. The affiliates are sparsely populated and I don't have any that have remained as long as I have. The IAHBE is wonderful and would be my second best option. There is so much to be gleaned from an IAHBE membership. Here are just a few:

1. Over $800 dollars in bonus material

2. The Book of the Month

3. The Magazine of the Month

4.

Actions speak louder than words any day of the week and twice on Sunday! It is a matter of will. Some people are not risk takers and therefore no business will be right for them. Others are distracted. So until they have clarity and focus on the business they will not be of much use. Still others hit the ground running for a while then when they don't see the results they expected they give up.

I've had gold and silver team leaders that returned back to affiliates and I have had

The best way to present the S-Builder co-op is to show the advantages it has over other co-ops. It should be understood that co-ops are used to spread the cost of advertising among members in lieu of shares based on participation. Members do not necessary receive equal shares but the idea is that the buying power of many can be leveraged to help those who otherwise would not be able to participate. Accordingly, paid advertising is the most responsive form of advertising and since most affiliates

What keywords are best to use when placing ads?

The best keywords to use in paid advertising are those that attract your ideal prospect. If you want a ton of "free loaders" then put "free" in your ads and you will attract them them flies attracted to a cow patty! But if you want to attract serious minded entrepreneurs, then use words like long-term investment opportunity working from home.

For Adwords you can actually improve your quality score by selecting the type of keywords that you don't want to rank for.

What are the best facts, stories, and figures you can share with friends and family to gain their trust and get them enrolled in SFI?

I know where you are coming from with your question and I come from a very large family. There is no one working this business in my family but me. But when they see my success, then they will come running. It's okay. Even then, some will not join. This type of business is not for everyone. Not everyone can be a leader in this capacity.

Therefore, the best thing you can share with them is the truth about your own experience in SFI. If that is not good enough for them, then none

How do I get new, anxious-to-earn-NOW affiliates to understand that it takes time to develop a successful business?

Those that are anxious to earn now need to speed more time implementing income producing actions rather than daydreaming about fast riches. There is nothing wrong with wanting to earn now. The problem is when you want to earn now and do nothing to earn now! Set a plan of action in harmony with your goals and work toward the income desired. Most like it will not come as fast as you like but if you work on the correct set of actions it will happened sooner than you think. Envision. Plan. Act.

Long range goals should be set according to the needs of each SFI business owner. Everyone's 'why' is different. Some people join SFI because they want to get out of debt and others want to earn money to improve their lifestyle. Accordingly one must make goals accordingly. If it is your goal to get wealthy with SFI, then you should know up front that you will have to invest a considerable amount of time and money into SFI. Many affiliates have been in from the beginning . . . that's going on

There is not enough of you to empower them. So be the best you can be. Don't worry about if they want to participate in your team contest. It's a waste of your energy. Yes, have contest but no do not sweat the small stuff.

You are the catalyst. You are key to your own success. Don't give your success to others nor give your pearls to swine. Affiliates need to understand that nothing from nothing is nothing. So if you get affiliates that do nothing it is because they have done

How can TCredits be used to promote activity in my team?

T-Credits are the currency of the auctions, games, downloads and more. If you have a competition, don't forget the power of 10 TCredits to the winner. In an auction that's 10 VP, and 10 chances to win in Time Machine or Pick-the-Price! So those 10 TCredits may not be much in a live auction but 10 chances to win the ZackPot is a prize to tell mamma about. Also if you win the exact Pick-the-Price for 100 TCredits - that's a nice take-away prize for 1 TCredit.

Moreover by awarding TCredits
