It will really depend on whether your affiliates believe your products offer good value or not. It will also depend on what your shipping charges are going to be.
While your products may be good value in your country of residence it may not be such good value elsewhere, especially if there will be shipping charges.
I rarely buy from ECAs unless it is e-products that will not involve shipping charges. I find the shipping charges along with the product outweigh the price I would normally pay for the products.
If your products represent good value for money then you should have no trouble in getting your affiliates to buy and/or promote and sell them. It will really be down to the fact of them having contacts that may be interested in your products.

Hi Elif,
A good question as this is mainly an internet based business!
I think there is nothing better than word of mouth to spread the news of something you have found that works. When you are face to face with someone they will be able to see the passion with which you are putting over your point. This is not so easy to do with the written word.I am sure you have seen people who are passionate about their work and it shows when they talk to people. A lot of those people would like to be in a job they love.
If you drive then put a TripleClicks banner on your car. There are also magnetic panel available for a car. These can also bring in people without even talking to them. They see the URL of your website on your car and check it out.
I hope this helps you and wish you every success in your endeavors.

Is it possible to be successful in SFI even when your PSAs and CSAs do not work or have stopped working?

Hi Isabelle,
Because one of the main things the successful affiliate does is duplication you need CSAs and PSAs to be really successful in SFI. Having said that you should also be building up your TripleClicks members and your ECAs.
Because a lot of people tend to loose interest if they are not making a substantial amount of cash quite quickly we always need to be doing everything we can to recruit new affiliates.
I know this is not an easy task to all people, which is why we have the S-Builder Co-op. We also have the auctions in TripleClicks where you can get both CSAs and PSAs.
A question you need to ask yourself is why are they not staying? Are you giving them enough encouragement without going overboard and frightening them off. Are you pointing out to them the advantages of working with SFI and doing it the way they are advised by their team leaders.
There are many ways of going about recruiting affiliates. What works for some doesn't always work for everybody.
Look at what your team leaders are doing and try to replicate their actions.

What is the best way to begin a new month in SFI and achieve success?

Hello Morena,
One of the best ways to begin a new month is with a standing order of at least 1500 VersaPoints. This ensures you maintain an EA level and gets you some bonuses. Don't forget to set your goals and also to rate your sponsor and co sponsor. This will get you some more VersaPoints.
Once you have done that don't forget to log in daily and go through your to do list. Keep going with your affiliate recruitment as they can also help your points and cash build up. If your sponsor and or co sponsor is active copy what they do.
I hope this helps you. I wish you every success with SFI.

You can maintain or boost the momentum of your team by publicly recognizing their achievements within SFI. Make sure you make them feel special by noting their achievements in your newsletters.
You can also offer incentives to those that reach certain targets that you set for your team. The incentives can range from free entry in a co-op you run, gift cards and TCredits. A happy team is a team that works together and if you are offering incentives they are more likely to become and remain active.

Creating my own SFI co-op...or starting a blog about SFI...which will provide the most value?

Both of these actions will give added value to your team.
A well run blog that is updated regularly, (daily if possible), that attracts readers can give very good results. This will only cost you the price of a domain name and some hosting. I would not recommend free blogs or hosting as you do not have full control of them.
With an SFI co-op it would depend on the number of affiliates you have in the coop and the number of co-op units you purchase. There will of course be higher expenses with the co-op but if done well it will pay you dividends.

How do I convince prospective ECAs that TripleClicks can be great for LOCAL sales?

If the prospective ECA does not have an internet presence than you should not have too much difficulty in convincing them that having an internet store opens them up to everybody in the area that has an internet connection and shops online.
Perhaps a few figures pointing out the advantages of a web presence will be enough to persuade them to give everyone in the area a chance to buy their goods.
This will be particularly pertinent if there shop is not in a particularly high traffic area.

What is your relationship with SFI and TripleClicks?
For me it is an opportunity to promote and expand my own business, and this is what I explain it as.
The whole idea of SFI and TripleClicks is to give you a good base to start your business from. You start building your team while promoting products available on TripleClicks.
I also invest a small amount of cash into my business to assist in the building of it. While this is not strictly needed I want to give my business a boost to help it on its way.

As I build my downline, what are the common mistakes I need to avoid?

Affiliate since: 02/24/2014, Power Rank: 99999999
Hi Vladimir a good question and one we have all faced in the past.
Some of the common mistakes are:
1. Not encouraging your downline
2. Forgetting to tell your downline how you are doing it.
3. Not giving enough information on marketing methods you are telling them to use.
There are many other mistakes that can be made, but I think it is very important to connect with all the members of your downline.
You have the facilities in the genealogy to send emails to your whole team or part of your team.
Make sure you contact all of your affiliates even those that appear not to be working.
You may contact them just at the right time and get them back on board with SFI.
A common mistake is assuming your downline will know how to use any of the resources you tell them about. They may have only been on the internet a short while and if you tell them to do some safelist marketing or any other type of marketing they may not know what you are on about.
Check with your downline that they do know what the resources are and how to use them. If they don't then teach them what they have to do.
I hope this helps you. I wish you every success with your SFI endeavors.

Do I need to have a website or my own blog to be successful with SFI?

In short No! Having said that you can be more successful by having your own website and because of the way blogs are received on the internet a blog will get you even more success providing it is run correctly.
Too many people think I just have to create a blog or website to become successful, but the creation of the blog or website is just the beginning. If you want them to be a success you will have to promote them and with a blog constantly be updating it.
Search engines love content, and none more so than new content. So running a successful blogdoes take time and effort on your part although you can get a lot of the work on it outsourced if you can afford to go that way.
I would advise against using Blogger for your blog unless you have the facility to cloak all the SFI and TripleClicks links that you are going to use. These links often get Blogger.com sites closed down for spamming. It is unfortunate that when a company like SFI becomes so successful there are so many SFI links on the internet that they are regarded as spam.
If you really cannot afford to buy a domain name and hosting for your business and you are going to use Blogger then I suggest you cloak all your links using bit.ly
Your own domain and hosting is a far more ideal solution as you will be able to cloak all your links using your own domain name. This will see your domain name getting more clicks and as a consequence it will get a boost in the traffic rankings with company's like Google.
I hope this helps you.
