You can use all the methods that you would use to promote SFI anywhere. You may need to make some adjustments because you are targeting an age specific group.
These are really the people you want to get interested in business as many are likely to be business leaders in the future.
Remembering students already have a lot of expenses it would be prudent to point out how they are going to make money with no or very little initial expenses.
You can also point out to them that if they

The best ways to start marketing are the ones you feel most comfortable with.

The training available to you with SFI gives many marketing ideas and so it is up to the individual concerned as to how they do their marketing.

Paid marketing usually gives better results than free marketing venues, but many people rely on free marketing until they start earning enough to use the paid venues.

Once you get used to one type of marketing and you are really comfortable wth

If you wish to advertise on Facebook you are going to have to cloak your links as many of the SFI gateways are banned by Facebook because they have been used on there so much.

Personally I would set up a fan-page on Facebook to try and get as many people as I could to like it. By constantly updating the page you will keep people interested in it and have a good possibility of gaining more prospects as your friends tell their friends about your page.
I also send out tweets on twitter

You get your affiliates to understand the importance of getting all the daily action VP by explaining to them what the program is about and how it works.

This explanation should make them realize why VP are so important.

They should look upon the VP as being the work they do to be able to be paid and to allow them to progress through each status to allow them to make the maximum possible earnings to boost their own business.

They should understand they are running

Some of your downline may have joined SFI, but then realize it is not the business for them.

Some of your downline may not be willing to put in the time required to build a successful business.

Some of your affiliates may not have the money to invest if they are not getting an income from TripleClicks or some other medium.

It can be difficult to encourage people to work when they are unlikely to see an immediate return. This will be particularly true of those who

First I would look to see that there were enough of my affiliates living close enough that they could easily travel to where I intend holding my meetings.

I would make sure I could rely on at least one highly successful leader turning up to speak about their path in SFI.

I would also make sure that I had refreshments laid on.

If I could not do these things then I would seriously consider making a video for my affiliates or having an online meeting using Skype or a

The best way to boost your income is to get your affiliates to follow your lead. SFI runs best on duplication so if you can have active affiliates who also have active affiliates you are going to see an income.

You should also be promoting TripleClicks to your downline and encouraging them to purchase and enter the auctions if they can afford it.

You can also promote TripleClicks to those who are not in SFI as you will be getting commission on all their purchases.

Apart from the 125 TCredits pack, what other Standing Order product with 1500 VP would you suggest to replace IAHBE?

The 125 TCredits pack is a good buy at $36.25 and giving 1500VP, but a lot will depend on your financial situation and also your sponsoring ability. You may rather have S Builder units or PSA's to go. These will give you an assured downline but whether they are active or not is down to you and the luck of the draw.

The way I understand the rules the 1500 VP can be made up of more than 1 item, as long as the total VP on a standing order is 1500 or above.

This does leave you

I think your emails should be telling of your journey with SFI and TripleClicks. You should be enthusiastic and telling of the advantages you get with SFI and TripleClicks.

If there is any particular part of either SFI or TripleClicks you think would be especially appropriate to a friend or family member then go into as much detail as possible on that part of the business. For example if you know of someone who spends a lot of time on auction sites introduce then to TripleClicks auctions
