Lots of questions! need help.

:notso: Hello everyone.
I just joined as an affiliate on 1st may and I still need to become an MIQ. I have posted lots of free ads on a few sites that offer free ad placements but I haven't yet got any response. I know it's too early to start expecting a response. Now I am given a deadline to become an EA by May 12th. I would like to know what would happen if I don't become an EA by then? I know I can get an EA status immediately by buying one of the products that will give me 5 SVP points as that is how much I need to become MIQ. But I don't want to buy yet. I want to try a few marketing aids and see if they can get me to be an MIQ.
Also,can anyone please suggest some useful advertising sites where I can place free ads and would you know any site where I can place free BANNER ads?

I have done a lot of reading on the internet on HOME BUSINESSES and have read through various websites but SFI seemed to be really genuine to me. So,I'm hopeful that this will work out for me in the long run. This Dboard is really great and I'm looking forward to some help from you guys who have already made some success here or are on your way to it!

Thanks to you all
:-)

Hi notso,

You will find much and valuable information at www.sfitraining.com regarding free or low cost marketing methods to use (free ads sites included).
Personally I have printed all the pages of that site and read them three times when I first join SFI.
I hope that you will make it to become MIQ.
Do not also forget offline advertisement. Word of mouth brought me three of my best co-workers.

Best regards
Tasos

Have you completed Smart Start? That will tell you the importance of being MIQ, and also introduce the Fast Track Program to you. EA affiliates qualify for higher commissions (extra EA commission) and residual income streams. Fast Track gives you a free PTL bonus share, and makes you a participant in the Fast Track Bonus Pool for that month. Fast Track includes a Free trainining CDROM and Book--if you pass on Fast Track you won't be able to get the CDROM.

If you don't become EA before the deadline you will lose the Fast Track benefits, and will not be eligible for multiple income streams until you become MIQ. If you have repeat customers, of IAHBE for example, you will not get any commission on their second month if you are not MIQ, so that may also be a consideration.

IAHBE is a good way to become MIQ, because you can place a standing order for it and it provides you with valuable training and resources. However, if you are willing to lose the Fast Track benefits you can become EA later--it's up to you. You can currently get EA status for under $20 by buying one of the books--if any of these appeal to you, that would be a cheap way of getting EA status before the deadline. Check the 5SVP section, and the magazines section also for more choices.

"I just joined as an affiliate on 1st may and I still need to become an MIQ."

To grow your business you have to feed it. Would you try to raise a child on free lunches?

Here, let me fill your plate with help:

(1) You can get a good plate full here.
"I know I can get an EA status immediately by buying one..."

Pssst, did you know you get twice the commision as an IAHBE member?

(2) Take a good look at the "IAHBE Mission Statement"
You'll want to send your recruits here so they will join IAHBE. Think
what it will mean to your Bottom Line for them to have all of
business-building benefits gained by becoming a member.

(3) Lastly, but most IMPORTANT- Log in here to get the main course.
"Don't delay...your home-business success is waiting!"

As I sat here at my computer earlier, reading your post, I glanced over and
saw my stack of "IAHBE MONEYPAKS" I knew in my heart that I could help you out.

Becoming an IAHBE member will immediately qualify you for "MIQ" status
energize you and provide you an easy method of duplicating your success by having your downline follow the same path.

Well, I hope this helps You out. I know it will if you just take action and
get started.

Feel free to contact me and let me know if this helped you out.

Hello everyone,

Greetings from the islands!

I just joined SFI. I still feel like a fish out of water. I'm writing to seek advice on how to get my business up and running. At the moment I am unemployed and attend college full time and my financial situation right now is not so good. Is there anything that I can do to get my business up and running considering my present situation?


I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Welcome to SFI and our DBoard!

I see that your request got lost in the crowd.

As you may have noticed, Smart Start is mentioned as the first step in nearly every post answering questions like yours. It's vital to your understanding of SFI!

From there, you can and should continue with the other training at the SFI Affiliate Resource Center and here on the DBoard and at the SFI Team Resource Center (linked from the bottom of any DBoard page).

The IAHBE is another strong resource and will show your prospects that you are serious about succeeding in SFI.

It is often better to start a new thread in order to get attention when you have an important request than it is to reply and possibly get lost.
