The Custom Prestige Domains can be used to increase the quality of the people clicking on your gateways.
Another big plus will be the increased targeted traffic you send to the gateways and since Google will see more links from pages on your website to your gateways Google will be more likely to send you some of their search traffic. Google looks at the number of links to a URL when it is determining where to send search queries.
Your Custom Prestige Domain will also give you more prestige from your downline as they see you are really serious about your SFI business.
You have flexibility in that you can send a deserving PSA or CSA some traffic to their gateway. (Be sure and tell them you are going to be doing this as a reward for efforts.) AS those PSA's and CSA's get more gateway traffic they will expand their downline giving you more commission income.
Because you will need to spend some time doing the things you need to get traffic to come to your Custom Prestige Domain you will learn a lot about how to make the internet work to give you quality high PSA producing traffic.
There are lots more ways a Custom Prestige Domain can help you but these are the ways I think are the most important.

How do you make SFI not be overwhelming for yourself and team members?

Most of the earlier answers have gone into detail about all the resources SFI provides to make earning income via SFI easy. I won't go thru those details again. What I have recommended to my down line in the past is that if they are feeling overwhelmed is to simplify.
So if they are having trouble in one area I tell them back away from that area for a while and focus more on areas they are having better luck with. For example I had one associate once that was having trouble trying to talk to people and convince them to check out SFI. He was real good on the internet and having some success there. By changing his focus to work more on the internet he was able to improve his internet recruiting and stopped feeling frustrated due to the issues he had with talking to people about SFI.
Another associate was almost the opposite. She could talk to people and had several join but was not getting any traction from her internet work. She put her internet work on the back burner, just doing a little of it, like doing her daily TO-DO List and checking her stats. She spent much more time talking to old and new friends and was more relaxed. She did much better.
I tell everyone to use the tools you are most comfortable with and when they are ready for something new then try the other tools.
One thing I've seen is that new people want to read the Launchpad lessons too fast. I always tell them to only do one a day. I do tell them they can use ones they have already read as a resource going back and rereading them anytime.
SFI has so many tools to earn and learn I can't see how anybody with a little patience and effort time can't earn a nice living with it.

What other online marketing tools do you use to promote your business apart from those provided by SFI?

I use a list builder website to generate traffic to my gateways and the SFI Co-op to get affiliates directly.
I also chat with people I meet while riding on Dart (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) buses and light rail trains. During the chat I pull out one of my cards and answer their questions. It pays to be a real nice guy. I also leave the cards wherever I go.
I use Facebook too. Make friends with someone in their early 20's and they will have thousands of Facebook friends. They also like it that I am a 66 year old who is socially astute to their world. Sometimes I ask dumb questions just to get a conversation going. It works.
My email address has SFI in it too so when I give someone my email address usually their first question is "SFI, what is that?"
I also have a free host website at Weebly that I use to promote TripleClicks, Pricebenders and SFI.
I try to have several things going at once so when one is not working the other one will work.
I chat and share ideas with my a2a friends a lot too. They have told me of several methods I can use outside of SFI that have helped me and I have given them some resources too. I listen to my upline and message them as they have a lot of experience of what works. Even my downline has helped me with new resources.
I do use a lot of the SFI tools but these are the ones I use that are not provided by SFI directly.

How could I use my own or other's garage sales to grow my SFI or TripleClicks business?

One way is to use a real nice method my wife and I used years ago to make money at auctions. It Works best if you have a pick-up truck or access to one. Go to yard or garage sales on Sunday afternoon and look for yard sales that have lots of items that are not sold yet. They will be getting ready to end the sale by then. Offer to buy the whole lot of left over items for a lump sum. Say fifty dollars or a hundred or maybe only twenty five dollars depending on what is there. Then you can sell the items you bought in bulk at TripleClicks. Be sure and give them a business card and tell them to look on TripleClicks for the items you will be selling there.
They may even end up buying something at your TripleClicks site you bought somewhere else or they might join TripleClicks or SFI.
If you make friends with them wether you buy their stuff or not you might also get them to take up an offer of a free gift card so they can sell more items themselves.
Always ask if you can leave some SFI or TripleClicks cards for people to see also.
As you are driving around looking for garage sales if you see someone walking a pet be sure to stop and ask them if they know where a yard sale is (You can tell them you heard one was going on in the area.). Of course comment on how cute their pet is (Unless it is a Crocodile.) and leave a Card with them. They may just know of a yard sale but if not you made a new friend with a cute pet and gave out another card.

If I set up a co-op, how do I get my downline to participate in it?

If you have some experience with a Co-op and know how to run it and you have enough of a downline then you could put out an email telling them you are going to be starting a co-op and telling them to contact you if they are interested. Be sure and state the benefits of the co-op. SFI tools make it easy to assign shares earned by co-op members.
If you have no or little co-op experience you might join one for free or for their small monthly fee like the SFI Team Co-op and give all your downline your referral link. Once you feel you have a good way to generate Co-op traffic yourself via the tools you have picked up you can start your own and offer your downline your own co-op too. The co-op has given me lots of tools and helped me get the confidence to be admin of my own Traffic Exchange.
Thank you for your question, a real nice guy

Be a leader. If you are new to earning income via internet and direct marketing then research and learn how to do it and do it well. There are also lots of tools here at SFI to help you. Read, study and implement the lesson plans.
Send messages to ALL your upline letting them know you are a leader and want to learn how to do the best job you can. You can purchase eBooks here at TripleClicks that will help you and give you VP at the same time. Check out the reviews of the books before you purchase to find out which ones are the best. Check out the forums and ask questions there too. The only question that is dumb is the one never asked that might make the difference between your success or your failure.
Earn all the VP you can so you show up high on your upline's 'Movers' VP daily To-Do-List. They will see you and contact you to congratulate you.
Don't forget to notice your own downlines and provide them with guidance too. The Universe rewards every action.

I think the TripleClicks TCards are a great marketing tool. To whom would you give the cards to and why?

TripleClick Gift Cards are a great way to show some one you know about TripleClicks and if they use the card you and they will have a link to talk more about the SFI experience. It may be they are only interested in TripleClicks and that is fine. They may decide they like Pricebenders auctions too. One way is to have them sign on from their end while you are online watching an auction and talking to them via phone as you watch the bidding. Make your bid and then watch as they bid with TripleClicks they bought that gave you VP. Your participation with them can make the auction more exciting for them and get them hooked.
If after a while they may mention that the Pricebenders auctions are fun but it is costing them money although they like the things they have won at the auctions. You can tell them you know a way for them to not only enjoy the auctions but make money to buy the stuff. THAT is your chance to introduce them to SFI!

In one sentence, how do you respond when someone asks you about the business you are involved in?

I'm in a really great business opportunity that rewards me for having fun chats with people like yourself and has lots of different ways I can earn money and help people like yourself earn extra income too.
That is my most often used sentence. After I say that I ask them if they want a card to check it out on their computer. In sales that is called asking for the sale. Many people are shy and afraid of rejection so will not ask for the sale wanting the person they are talking with to ask them instead. Not ASKING for the sale is the number one reason for not making the sale. While you're not selling them anything at this point you're selling them on checking out SFI and how you present it will influence their decision to join.
If they seem hesitant and need a little more information to make a decision I offer them a FREE TC card and tell them that if they want they can check out all the AWEsome products for sale at great prices and if they like auctions there is something called Pricebenders that makes it super easy get things at a bargain. If they say they have been interested in doing online auctions but think it is too complicated then you can say how Pricebenders is a very easy auction to use. It is a good auction for a beginner and one with really WOW auctions.
Alway sound excited and happy to talk to them. AND Smile a lot.
