When advertising is not your "first" skill, S-Builder Co-op can become your best friend!!:)

Advertising can be very intimidating, but mentoring via email, team mail, etc., is very not hard:) Using the very reasonably-priced ($22US/month) S-Builder will bring in between 5 & 7 new PSAs/month (if it is part of your SO, as mine is) with no effort on your part.

Now it is up to you to get and keep your new PSAs interested in learning how to do what you do, and have

Give your team a clear, concise, condensed explanation of Fast-Track 2.0. Try to make it fully understandable without an extreme of extra information.

You might want to use examples of how you have benefited from F-T 2.0 -- CSAs, VPs, extra executive pool shares...

Use examples by creating a pair of fictional accounts, one affiliate taking advantage of F-T 2.0, one not. Now show the differences in the two accounts. List it on paper, then convert to words, create a comparison

It depends in part on how much time and effort you invest into SFI:) With steady effort, not a lot of money, it is possible to get a return from the beginning, as I have done. Not a lot of money, but some every month since I joined SFI.

Now, "producing income" can mean a number of things, to me. If you are looking for substantial, supportive, sustainable income, I would say you could reasonably expect to invest good solid work for at least 2 years. This is just a rule of thumb

The best example you can give them is a page full of badges... starting with Gold Fast Track, Finalist/E365 Champion, at least 1500 VP SO, daily/all time VP streak, results of voting on askSC answers, as well as answering the questions, responses to Forum posts, and the extra activities - Eager Zebra Games, auctions...

When they see your badges, they will want to know how you got them. This is when you can really shine in their minds be explaining - based on questions asked - what you

You become a good listener while online by learning to read between the lines... is the tone serious? is it facetious? are they distressed? are they basically yelling in frustration? do they ask you the same things over and over, just worded differently (usually indicative of having NOT read enough yet)? are the questions giving any indication the person has been doing some reading, but having trouble understanding?

There are subtle giveaways to mood and intention in the written word,

I suggest they start on home page with Start, Basics and Launchpad buttons. I suggest to them to do a few Lessons/day, being sure to get their 15 VPs as they go.

I explain the importance of clearing red tabs daily; rating always the 10 AskSC answers for the AVP, and the extra 20 answers for another Daily Grand entry (explaining also the types of prizes). I also recommend they read all the posts/replies in the Forum, looking at Forum and AskSC as learning/explaining sites. And to click

Being an affiliate can change your life by giving you a sense of independence (YOU are the boss!), and a residual income that can relieve the stress of financial difficulties:))

When the responsibility for a business lies with you, it can spur you to maintain it to the best of your ability so the other members of your business (PSAs & CSAs, PRMs, in this case) can see the benefits to also striving to maintain their businesses as well, so as not to disappoint their members.

What are the best products to buy at TripleClicks if my objective is to build my SFI business?

When you start TripleClicks home, click on products across the top. Within products, go down to SFI, click it.

There you will find books, Booster Club, ebooks, ECAs, and TripleClicks. Explore these, see if anything appeals to you.

Units of S-Builder Coop and PSAs to Go are also available. PSAs come rather quickly, and in a bunch. This would be helpful when first starting. S-Builder will take approximately 6 weeks to start coming to you, normally one, maybe two, at a time.

I would suggest using "I can help"-type ecards to contact your new affiliates after they have had a day or so to visit your Leadership page, and have received some welcoming/information emails from SFI. This should give them enough time to have read Start and Basics, and have some Launchpads read.

Also, use stream posts to pass bits of information to all your downline all 3 times available per week for AVPs. As you go along, sometimes effective to send PSA mailer, and CSA stream

This is done for several reasons, beginning with the space required to "store" ALL of the information of VPs that we have all earned!!

It also creates a more level (fair) playing field for us all. Every one of us must requalify as EA, EA2, all the way up to whichever rank we attained last month. This keeps us all involved with OUR business, plus SFI and TripleClicks. If we did not, we would not be up to date on all the newest happenings, changes, improvements, etc.
