I see that there are ECAs in my local area who have not yet listed any products. How can I/we encourage them to become active ECAs?

ECA who have not listed products are inactive. Merchants in your local area who are not ECAs should be introduce to the idea. So inactive ECAs, should definitely become active and there are a few ways that you can help them.
1. Remind them that TripleClicks does charge ECAs to list their products. You can list 10 or 1000. It will never cost you a dime. Only when a sale occurs is there a fee for processing and handling. This fee is nominal compared to other sites that provide the same service. Besides, TripleClicks has 25 years of success behind a world-class customer support team thats dedicated to help ECAs reach there goals.
2. TripleClicks processes all of the orders and provides customer support to customers and ECAs. Acting as escrow, TripleClicks protects ECAs against fraudulent transactions as well as they protect the consumer ensuring the merchandise is delivered as expected. Should a problem arise, TripleClicks is their to meet your customers expectations and provide advice and support to ECAs.
3. Harness the power of over 1,000,000 affiliates without any of the headache of running your own affiliate program. TripleClicks handles every aspect of this equation so ECAs can focus on product distribution and product variety.
4. The possibilities for exploding their customer base as products are sold on TripleClicks global infrastructure. Merchants have the choice of going global or staying out of certain geographic regions.
5. And a whole lot more. But most of all increased profits and greater potential of acquisition of more marketshare for sustained profits.
Similarly, local merchants who are independently ran could benefit in all of the ways aforementioned. So why buy a few marketing aides and approach them at an appropriate time of day to introduce them to TripleClicks.com. Certainly, there is so much to gain with minimized risk. So always show profits and savings because Tripleclicks is quick, simple, and easy to set up, sell, and profit from.

Which of the SFI LaunchPad lessons is best...and why?

Lesson 5 is Borderless is beautiful and truly it is. There are no boundaries for your SFI business except the ones you place on it. You SFI business can grow as large or it can stay as small as you need. You have full flexibility over your work hours, and days. You can control how much money you make by implemented a sound marketing strategy.
Since SFI has been around for many years, is the playing field fair for someone who have just started in SFI like me?

I now exactly what you mean. Matrices do become saturated at some point but SFI is a very different model trust me. We are just beginning to hit some fantastic growth. As a matter of fact most people don't know about TripleClicks nor SFI and they have been around for a few years. Carson Services, Inc. has been around even longer and if we were not affiliates I'm sure we would not have heard of it. That's just how novel the marketing system is.
Most of our target audience is in emerging economies. There is very little competition for the service we offer in these markets. While Amazon, Ebay, and some other are more mainstream, the piece of the market our marketing system targets is virtually untapped. The internet is growing at a phenomenal pace in countries with emerging economies. This is the vision you should adopt.
Moreover, anyone who joins SFI starts at the same position 0 VP. It's up to them as it is up to you if you are going to stay there. Every affiliate has around 3000 VP available through training. Learning the system is a matter of desire and commitment. SFI rewards every affiliate for doing that. There is no obligation but to take the necessary action to earn those VP as they cost nothing but to read and implement.
Now SFI is not for EVERYONE although ANYONE of average intelligence can do this. If you can click a mouse great. If you can read great. If you have a smart device with an internet connect - fantastic. Then you can do this business!
The guy that has 300,000 affiliates on his team is equal to the guy with none if those affiliates are not active. So becoming a success in this business is not a matter of size but a matter of focus, knowledge, heart, desire, and time. When these are applied correctly success is practically guaranteed.

How many hours a week do I need to devote to SFI to become successful?

How many hours you spend each week promoting your SFI business is going to depend on you. Many people have day or night jobs and that takes a toll on your free time. Then you must rest and spend some time for yourself. So I'd say for this people if you have 1 hour every day to spend on your business, discipline yourself to spend 1 hour on your business. If you have 30 minutes then spend 30. With the right plan of action, discipline, and persistence you can start to gain traction in this business within 90 days. So it's not a matter of quantity but quality.
For those individuals that are fortunate to have 3 to 4 hours per day to devote to their SFI business this is optimal. You can accomplish a lot sooner because you are putting in the quality time in quantity. So you can have your sales/recruiting funnels up and running, your promotional efforts up and running, coach and mentor, followup with emails, and the myriad of things I do everyday. It's a definite advantage to have more time and spend it wisely. However, if not, then take the time you have and invest it consistently and you will slowly but surely began to get the desire results.

How is advising my PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country helpful?

It is helpful for PSAs to buy from local ECAs mainly to expedite shipping. Even so, it pays to shop local for other reasons. For example, if you need to pick up on a certain day and time, shopping local will facilitate this effort. Shopping local will boost the local economy and provide jobs for the community. More local dollars for taxes means improved social services in the community. Schools, parks, hospitals, and libraries all benefit from local spending. Shopping local usually also means more savings because fewer overhead expenditures can be passed on the shoppers. Finally, merchants can cater to the needs of the local economy more efficiently than they can trying to suit national or global demands. The flexibility of local shopper always allows for a smoother transaction and a better customer experience.

In order to gain a competitive advantage that is sustainable you must be consistent and frequent with your advertising and track for improvement. That's the only way to do it using free advertising. Typically, when it comes to paid advertising, the winner is the one with the largest ad budget. However, high quality content will trump a bigger budget with low quality content. So content in advertising is everything. Quality ads cost less because they are more targeted and more efficient at pulling your ideal prospect. Remember, when using PPC ads, you are paying for every click whether that person joins your business or not. With so many erroneous clicks, your PPC ads are sure to be a flop, if you are not tracking your results for improvement and staying on budget.

What are the drawbacks to using link cloaking software?

Some of the drawbacks of using link cloaking software will depend on the quality of the service you use. Sometimes cloaking software strips away the cookie needed the track the sale to the affiliate. To be sure that this is not happening to you be sure that you are not logged into your account and possible clear all of your cookies then click on your tracking link to see if it takes you to where you need to be. If you go to a generic site that doesn't have your affiliate information on the site then the cookie was stripped by the software. Use another service.
Another drawback of a cloaking link is that you can't use it in google ads. You must have a registered domain. Now if your domain tracks your traffic and stats then great and most offer something in this area. Some cloaking software is client side meaning it has to run as an extension to your browser or from your desktop. All of these will compromise your computers performance in my experience and often time great slow your internet browsing experience. Otherwise, the quality cloakers offer useful data about your traffic without compromising security or performance.

Is it better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about...or more lengthly, detailed information?
Williams Ford, Aff (Georgia, US)

It definitely to your advantage and theirs to be brief and to the point. Not only will you run your prospect away if you are verbose, but you will also confuse them. What I like to do for all of my prospects is to give them a TC Gift Card and say here's a 12 dollar value toward your next purchase from my site, please check it in your leisure. If they have questions then, I say just check out if you have the time - if not give it to a good friend. Sometimes people press you for more information. Stick to your brief concise explanation and let them figure out. As soon as you open your mouth about auctions, or bids, or work - you've lost them. They will stick that card back in your hand so quick it will make you think that they are afraid of opportunities. They are not but you told the wrong information and they made a decision based on the misinformation you gave them. You want your prospects to make informed decisions and the only way for that to happen is for you to allow them to check it out for themselves.

What's best? Sponsoring fewer PSAs and concentrating on coaching and helping them build...or continuously sponsoring new affiliates?
Williams Ford, Aff (Georgia, US)

It is far better to sponsor fewer PSAs and teach them how to build than to just to recruit 1000 affiliates per day. Out of a 1000 you can expect 2% of less to catch on. But if you recruit 20 then teach them how to recruit 20 then you are on your way to financial freedom. While it is only a matter of preference to how large of an organization any affiliate might hope to achieve, it rather a fact that without duplication your business is going to reach a certain level and stagnate.
Why? No one can be in more than one place at one time and we all are limited to the amount of sales that can be created individually. So the massive recruiting model may seem appealing to many at first. However you will soon realize that in order to sustain the level of performance required to be Platinum Team leader, you are going to have to get downward momentum in your network instead of lateral momentum.
Essentially, it is a matter of basic math. Which would you rather have? The rewards of your own individual work or those that are multiplied across 12 generations. Any school boy/girl knows that 10 people can sale more than 1. Notwithstanding, in the absence of proper coaching and guidance; 1 active affiliate will outsell 1,000,000 inactive affiliates any day! The truth be told those affiliates who have recruited 1000s of affiliates without training them are on a dead end street that leads to no where. It's just not mathematically possible to sustain the kind of numbers necessary to achieve Platinum team leader with proper guidance. Moreover we all are limited; therefore, it's problematic to provide top notch support to your entire team when it's too big to manage effectively.
Consequentially, sponsoring fewer PSAs with proper guidance and support will sustain the necessary requirement to make Platinum for years to come. Your organization becomes an unstoppable force that generate sales like a fortune 500 franchise. Soon it will be self sustaining and not even require you to recruit or sale. Now that's a milestone that you can proud of.

What is the most important goal you've set for your SFI business and why?

The most important goal I've set for my business is to NEVER quit. The surest way to succeed is to try and try again until you do. For you will fail many times and if you quit then that's the end. But if you decide to learn from your mistakes and to improve your skills so that you better understand your weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths; then, you will find certain success. Never ever quit. Learning, growing, and earning comes in time.
