How can I find affiliates who are truly interested in SFI and who will remain active?

The key to finding affiliates who are truly interested in SFI and will remain active is to target your advertising, and to communicate with your team.

It is essential to target your advertising for people who are interested in creating an income from home. There will always be people who sign up to look around and never come back. However, if you target your advertising to people who have an

How do you explain the importance of MRP (Member Reward Points) to your PSAs?

Member Reward Points, or MRP, are a form of TripleClicks currency, and are like a little rebate for spending your money on items, or for using TCredits for auction bids and Pick-the-Price guesses.

MRP can be used for purchasing most items at TripleClicks, including lots of information-rich ebooks, but you do not earn VP with purchases made with MRP (unless it's a TC Direct item).

"Which will help me the most in becoming successful in SFI--sponsoring affiliates or referring TripleClicks members?"

Both are important.

In the short-term, it is easier to make money by commissions through active PRM purchases. However, in the long-term, building an active team will give you more (residual) income.

You should focus on both of them. It's part of my daily routine to post (free) ads for both. Find a new site every day to advertise on, and

"How do you become a superstar in SFI?"

The first step to becoming a superstar in SFI is to learn the program. To do this, you need to read, read, read. You need to log in every day, learn the basics, and keep learning. Learn how to advertise. Learn how to teach your team to do what you do.

You should lead by example. If you are not doing something, how can you expect your team to do it? Be a good role model, and give your team a solid leader to duplicate.

What's the best way to get new affiliates signed up without having to answer a lot of questions first?

The best way to get affiliates to sign up without having to answer a lot of questions first is to tell them they can opt out any time. There is no cost to join. Come in, look around, ask questions, learn about the program, and if you decide it's not for you, then you are welcome to opt out. And I promise no one will bother you if you choose to leave. :)

I have used this approach

"What are the best methods for distributing TC Gift Cards to the public and getting results?"

The best way to get results with TC gift cards is to offer then in Pricebender ads. Use simple text ads (taken from the sales page), and then offer free bids if they contact you.

There are lots of ways to give out TC gift cards, though. I put one in each physical order I ship out from my business (unless they are TC members already). I stop at garage sales, and offer them

What's the best TripleClicks product to have for a Standing Order for a financially challenged affiliate?

"What's the best TripleClicks product to have for a Standing Order for a financially challenged affiliate? "

The BEST standing order for financially challenged affiliates will be different for different people.

The CHEAPEST route to maintain your EA status until you have a solid, active team, is to purchase enough (1 TCredit) units to get to your 1500 VP. I think about 50 people have already said that.

I don't think that's the best way, though. If someone

What's best? Sponsoring fewer PSAs and concentrating on coaching and helping them build...or continuously sponsoring new affiliates?

Quality is more important than quantity. It is better to have 5 active team leaders than to have 1,000 inactive affiliates.

If you have active affiliates, you need to work with them so they can learn to duplicate your actions.

However, there are so many inactive affiliates, you need to keep sponsoring more and more of them

How can you advise and help new PSAs when you are new to SFI and just getting started yourself?

"How can you advise and help new PSAs when you are new to SFI and just getting started yourself?"

I think the best way is to learn together. If you don't know the answer to your PSA's question, you can help look it up in the glossary. If you can't find an answer, you can ask in the forum.

If you have an active sponsor, you can ask them, but not everyone has that luxury. The forum is usually quicker, too.

The most important thing to do is to read. Read, read,

Which is more effective--paid or free advertising--and why?

Which is more effective--paid or free advertising--and why?

Both paid and free advertising can be effective.

First of all, free advertising is not really free. It takes up time, and we all know that time is money. For affiliates who have little or no time for "free" advertising, paid advertising may be more effective for them.

In order for paid advertising to be effective, though, you need to know what you're doing. If you are new to advertising online,
