Very Confused SFI

[newguy]

Hello Everyone,

Not sure what to make of SFI. I signed-up from someones link here about a week ago.

I have had 47 people sign up under me.

What do I need to do?

Now the affiliates under me are asking me what's it all about. I have contacted my lead and get no replies. I have been reading the tutorials. But it seems like it's all about me buying a bumper sticker.

If anyone has the time to give me the bottom line I can pass it down to everyone signing up under me.

As of now I feel like I'm wasting a valuable link.

Hope to here from anyone!!

Hello NewGuy,

SFI has many different avenues of income. There is the line of health and wellness products, the natural cleaning products, EyeEarn, Triple Clicks, as well as the opportunity itself, just to name a few. Each one of these has their own website and you, as an affiliate, have your own personal link for each site. It is up to you as well as your downline, which avenue of income you want to concentrate on. Of course, you can make money with each and every product/service SFI as to offer. It is always best to focus on one in particular. How you do that is up to you, as well as your downline. SFI has a ton of information availiable to you, as an affiliate, on how to market. It also has a great guide for the beginner on how to get started. Your sponsor should really be helping you along with this. If he/she will not, try their sponsor. SFI also has a discussion board where you can discuss ideas on promoting the business. You can find that here www.sfidboard.com/index.php

Hope this has helped.

I strongly advise you to rept your Sponsor to SFI if he/she is ignoring your emails... Regarding your 47... as Gery Carson often says: "You can't drag your people accross the finish line".

If they like the program and want to be seriously involved... they will eventually upgrade to EA. In the meantime, SFI is sending them a series of emails encouraging them to upgrade. All you need to do is welcome them aboard and tell them you are available to help them if needed. That is essentially all you can do... Some affiliates offer gift certificates and other incentives to upgrade... I personally don't do that so I don't know how well that works.

Newguy, if you are getting the impression that SFI is all about you buying a bumper sticker, you must have chosen EyeEarn as your focus. There are many other aspects of SFI and you can change your focus at any time. Personally, EyeEarn's requirement that you be a living billboard 24/7 ia a major turn-off, but others are more than happy to do it and it works for them. If you have signed up 47 people in this very short time, I'd say it is definitely working for you!

As far as not getting support from your sponsor, make sure your e-mails are being received. Some isp's are notorious for not even letting messages make it into the spam bucket, never mind the inbox. Also make sure the subject of your message makes it clear that you are their sponsored SFI affiliate and that you are asking for assistance with your downline. A subject of "need help" may not even get opened. "Need help with SFI downline" is better.
