Why Are The BIGGEST Losers So FAT?

From The Desk Of Your Upline Team Leaders: The Roc Group

Hi Fellow Income Builders:

The new TV series The Biggest Losers just started their new season a few nights ago. I woke up this morning thinking about how hard its going to be for them to lose all that weight. In one lady's case she weigh in at over 450lbs, so she easily has to lose 300 pounds or two averaged sized women, during the season.

Then, a light came on in my head! Losing weight is just like making EXTRA money in network marketing...ITS HARD! Why? Because it takes massive amounts of EFFORT, DISCIPLINE and DETERMINATION OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME!

You see those people are so fat for the same reason 99% of the people in the world retire either dead or dead broke!

GREED AND LAZINESS

Greed sometimes is good, but when its dealing with TOO MUCH food, its always BAD.

Greed when it comes to becoming financially stable and in control of your future is always GOOD! The greedier you are for more control of your money and time with your family, the harder and longer you'll work to reach your goals!

If you want just an extra $500 dollar a month from a business, it will take a certain amount of greed to make you want to work hard and long to build your income to $500 a month. Its not easy. If it was easy, most people would do it, right? Think about the number of people that applies for credit when they need extra money!

Its the same with LAZINESS when it comes to gaining an extra 300lbs. Its much easier to put on 300lbs than take it off. You don't even have to think about it, JUST KEEP EATING more calories than you burn off consistently over an extended period of time!

When we eat, we are in control of the out come. That is easy. When we have a job with a little bitty pay...we are also in control. All we have to do is go to work on-time, do our job, and we will DEFINITELY (most of the time) get paid at least SOMETHING on payday!

Being in a business of your own making takes you out of control. We decide to work or not to work. No one will be looking over our shoulder threatening to fire us for not doing our "home work" job. We may work hard and still not get paid for all of our efforts on pay day, because we didn't get a certain qualification.

However, over an extended period of time, hard-workers always lose weight and likewise, over an extended period of time, hard-workers also always build a stable income!

I MEAN ALWAYS!!!

Here's one other example I thought about recently:

A friend of my wife and I recently decided she would go back to school. This friend was an SFI affiliate, and worked to build her business consistently for about 3 months last year. She did cover her monthly SFI payment from her business, and made a NET profit during those 90 days! But, according to her, the money just didn't take off fast enough!

I asked her about the program of study and she said it cost $10,000, and the course takes 9 months to complete in the medical field. She goes to school 4 hours per day like clock work, and studies an additional 4 hours per night with all her homework, without fail! If she quits, or fails the course, she loses her possible JOB and her ALL her $10,000 in tuition MONEY!

In the end, if she passes or qualifies, HOPEFULLY she'll get a job that pays $25,000 per year! Sounds good and normal, and what everyone else does to get a GOOD JOB, right?

Wait a hot MINUTE:

Do the math on that! What if she took 10% of that money and CONSISTENTLY advertised her SFI business, and what if she took 10% of that time and CONSISTENTLY worked placing other FREE ads on the internet.

What if she took another 10% of that same daily time she's devoting to classes and study motivating and working with her NEW DIRECT and DOWNLINE affiliates helping them to see the need to get through the VersaPoints to Team Leader status and develop their own duplication and motivation system through all 7-levels?

NO I'm not guaranteeing that she will be earning $2000 per month in 9 months, but then again neither is the college she's already paid her $10,000 to from a loan. I'm not saying her income will last 10 years! But, neither is the college. No one can look into the future.

Either way, she still has to pay that money back over 10 years...EVEN IS SHE'S NOT WORKING IN THE MEDICAL FIELD!!! The difference is with network marketing, SHE'S IN TOTAL CONTROL OF HER INCOME AND HER FAMILY'S FUTURE!

• No one will ever tell her she can't work for her business, or she will have to layoff from working with and building her downline because the economy is so bad.
• No one will say that her income will definitely NOT be going up next year, or that it has a limit based on her education level or work habits!
• NO, she will NOT have to put her kids in daycare FOREVER, and FOREVER be too tired to take care of her husband after working all day!

I hope you get the point...building YOUR own income is all about self-discipline and controlling your thoughts, and your time, just like losing or not gain too much weight!

It's time for breakfast...My wife says the oatmeal is ready...hehehe!

P.S. With VersaPoints, I got paid for sending our 17,000 downline members this message. Before VersaPoints, I did the same things for 2.6 years and got nothing EXTRA!

The Roc Group as it looks today, since November 4th, 2006 when we joined:

Gen 1 Affiliates: 1650
Gen 2 Affiliates: 2050
Gen 3 Affiliates: 1670

Boy, This Year Has Been One BIG Roller Coaster!

From The Desk of Your Upline Team Leader:

The Roc Group

Things have been running 500 miles per hour in the last half of this year compared to 10 miles per hour in the first half.

As you can see, we haven't been posting much this year, basically because there has not been much to post about. The economy pretty much blew our SFI downline out of the water.

So much so that we started l@@King for a "second business"!

We joined My World Plus on June 13, and it really took off! Our income was no match for the 'good ole days' in SFI, but we had steady growth from the very beginning.

(Up To Date Income Proof)

Well, one think I can always say about a true business man! He's always looking for ways to get over a rough spot! SFI president Gery Carson, must have seen the writing on the wall, and they PULLED OUT ALL STOPS and developed a new and exciting compensation plan based on "activity points" not money to get your income started.

Its called VersaPoints!

You simply perform task on the website and when you accumulate 1500 points YOU ARE PROMOTED! Being promoted to Executive Affiliate has always been the key step to earning income from SFI.

Before VersaPoints, the minimium price point was $29.95 to qualify to earn. Now tha same price point is ZERO! Just spend about 2 hours of your time completing the 1500 points, and YOU ARE IN!

The next step is to start your advertising campaign to find others who you can motivate to complete THEIR 1500 VersaPoints, and they are in. Repeating this duplication process, down through 7 levels will create a mountain of Executive Affiliates who are eager to start their earnings.

Although NO ONE earns income simply by completing the points, some of your downline members will chose to purchase TripleClicks products to qualify for promotion. When they do anywhere in your 7-level downline...BINGO! That generates commissions throughout the upline!

Just like Network Marketing 101, the bigger your business revenue is the higher your commission checks will go for everyone!

You see, getting massive amounts of people in SFI has NEVER been a problem. They do business in over 200 countries around the world, and joining has always been FREE! When you look at our 17,000 member downline, over 2/3 came from merging markets where people didn't have a hard currency, but they had access to the internet to EXPLORE opportunities and advertise.

When all these same affiliates NOW can get upgraded without money, they are much more motivated to place advertisements all over the internet that will attract some of these 10,000 NEW internet subscribers that are coming into cyberspace, EVERYDAY! Many of these people who can afford to pay for VersaPoints products!

Get an organization of these highly motivated and talented go-getters in your downline and you have a recipe for MASSIVE INCOME GROWTH!

Why not check out VersaPoints, TODAY!

The $300 Solution To Network Marketing Success!

FROM THE DESK OF The Roc Group, Admin Gen 1 Affiliates: 1806 Gen 2 Affiliates: 2699 Gen 3 Affiliates: 2007 Gen 4 Affiliates: 4810 Gen 5 Affiliates: 3723 Gen 6 Affiliates: 3533 Gen 7 Affiliates: 2775 Total for all Generations: 22254 Downline numbers from 11.04.06 until today! Its been a while since we blogged, but as our results above is showing someone is still working! We have been working on NEW ways to market our SFI business, and its providing tremendous results. The truth is, with so many affiliates coming in, there simply is not enough time in the day to do everything, and posting had become a real effort. But, this is a copy of something we received recently that really puts network marketing in the proper perspective. Its well worth the 15 minutes or so it takes to read. Admin THE $300 SOLUTION Reprinted with permission, "The $300 Dollar Solution" By Randolph A. Byrd

Randolph A. Byrd is the publisher of UP LINE, "The Journal For Network Marketing Leaders." For subscription information call 800-927-2527 extension 0656. This is a 24-hour voice mail message. How to Create Successful Leaders by Creating Achievable Milestones I know that in Network Marketing Sales, "The only way to fail is to quit." But I'm having trouble convincing people in my Network about that. How do I get them to stay involved long enough to start seeing some success? This is one of those timely "Great Questions" that comes up again and again, and there are lots of great ways to answer it. Making sure your people are motivated by helping them stay clear on what their own personal goals are . . . making sure they have the tools they need and know how to use them . . making sure their efforts are supported by three-way calls and meetings until they've got their "sea legs" securely under them - all these are sound approaches. But there's another answer - one that's perhaps more basic and essential. Let's run the numbers, take a practical look at the conditions you've got for your people to get involved and stay involved. There are two things which prevent most Network Marketers from achieving success: They don't make $300 per month quickly enough; And their downline distributors don't either! Surprised? You're not alone. But the truth is that $300 is the income-earning threshold below which there is no Network Marketing Sales organization- because there are simply no Net workers to make one. Networking Enemy #1 - Attrition. No one in this profession likes to talk about attrition. Why not? Because it undermines the profession's primary benefit that we recite in our prospecting routines. You know the rap: "You sponsor 10 people, and they sponsor 10 people, and they . . . and pretty soon. . ." Now, how successful would you be as a prospector if you said instead: "You sponsor 10 people, and then nine drop out, and then the one who's left sponsors 10 people and nine of THEM will drop out, and. ." That sounds like more of a positive pro-active pitch, now, doesn't it? But it is the truth!- At least, it has been true for most Network Marketers. Please note that when we say "attrition," we're not just talking about the downline, that impersonal genealogy of all the distributors in your organization. We're talking about you - one individual Network Marketer. But what really hurts is that an 80-to-90 percent attrition rate means that 80-90 percent of all efforts as well as all the efforts of your downline organization are lost in spinning your wheels. i.e., sponsoring numbers of folks into your organization only to have them leave before they've had the chance to be successful! As Dayle Malohey says, "The problem with most Network Marketers is that they quit before payday." But what causes this high drop-out rate'! And what can we do about it'! Ask open-ended questions and you're bound to get long, equally open-ended answers. CEO s and master distributors alike have given us all sorts of philosophies on why distributors leave our profession. I'll mention some of those reasons in a bit, but to find the empirical "truth" let's rephrase the question. At what point do Network Marketers NOT drop out of their organization? Specifically, how many dollars per month in compensation does an MLM have to earn before a high percentage (let's say 95 percent) do NOT dropout? Just about everyone we spoke with answered: "$300 to $400 per month, sustained for at least two or three months. And "by when" do they have to make that amount? Six to nine months is best, with one year being the longest time allotted. And what if they don't? They leave the organization at a rate of 80 to 90 percent per year. And if they do achieve $300 per month? They stay on board and usually become even more successful. This law is true for you, the individual distributor, just as it is true for your downline, a group of individual distributors just like you. Have yourself - and have each of your downline achieve $300 or more per month in bonus compensation within six to nine months, and you and they will stay in the organization and produce! And by the way, retail profits don't count in this scenario, because the whole point is residual income. And your downline will be certain to stay the course if you teach the truth about this business to them. This duplicable system is as easy as distributing copies of this Report to each person in your downline. So why don't most Network Marketers ever get to the $300-per-month level? Answer: Poor prospecting / sponsoring, and lack of knowledge about this industry and how Network Marketing Sales really works, all of which leads to unrealistic expectations. The way you prospect and sponsor each individual into your program sets up their expectations for success . . . or for their failure. A common approach to prospecting and sponsoring is the pie-in-the-sky, get-rich-quick, let your downline do the work while you "stroll the beaches-see the world" routine. This method can set up your new distributors for failure almost immediately, because the truth is that 98 percent of all Network Marketers DO NOT EVER reach those heights--and most certainly do not do so within a year. This creates a "lottery" mentality that in turn creates delusional dreams about what this business has to offer . . and then dashes them. With this style of prospecting - sponsoring, even if a distributor did reach $300 per month, they'd probably feel like a big failure, because they were set up to make $30,000 -- NOT $300-a-month. We have a common misconception in this business that $300 is such small potatoes, it's not even worth mentioning - just so much chopped liver. Tom "Big Al" Schreiter relates a wonderful story about a man who came into the business with the goal of making $300 a month. Not $10,000 or $20,000. Just $300 a month. The man achieved that goal fairly easily and stayed at that $300 income level for a number of years. That didn't seem very ambitious to Tom - especially for such an obviously gifted and capable guy - so, he asked the fellow about it. The man told Tom that he took his initial $300 and accelerated the mortgage payment on his home, paying it off in record time. He then used his free-and-clear equity to buy a second property, rented it our and applies the "extra $300" in the same manner he had with his own house. In less than five years, he ended up owning five income properties and was virtually financially set for the rest of his life. All by virtue of the $300 a month he earned through Network Marketing Sales. What other common mis-statements do prospectors often make? You won't have to work for a living" ..."You can become a millionaire like my UP LINE . . ." (flash UP LINE's mega-check here) . . ."Network Marketing is the answer to all your financial woes" . . . "MLM can fulfill all your dreams." While none of these statements are outright lies, and all actually quite often are true for a few leadership distributors, they do set up false expectations for the novice Net worker. Try instead statements like, "Network Marketing Sales can offer you greater time and freedom as you can work this business anywhere, anytime you choose." Or, "You can achieve a part-time or full-time income that can supplement or replace your current source of income, making enough in a few hours a week to pay for your car loan, a college education . . ." etc. When linked to the prospect's "WHY," these statements set up value in the opportunity and yet don't create unrealistic expectations for what this business has to offer. THE $300 SOLUTION Now, what would happen if you told your downline (or told yourself!) that the first step to MLM success is to get to that $300 a month level within six to nine months - or maybe even a year? What happens to their expectations now? What would happen if you told them the real truth about this business: When a distributor reaches a monthly compensation bonus of $300 per month he or she will not drop out! This is a point of no return! There is no turning back! When they get to that $300 level, you and your organization MUST recognize and acknowledge their level of achievement. After all, in this recognition business, $300 a month is a "rite of passage." Call it a coming of age and celebrate it like a bar mitzvah. Like puberty, it becomes a point of no return! It is a bridge into adulthood where one may not ever return to being a child! When you celebrate this coming of age, you set up a great expectation for your entire group. Imagine for a moment that you told your downline that the amount necessary to achieve the no-going-back level was $2,000 for the first level of real achievement and success. But share the $300 Solution with them and make a public celebration out of every distributor achieving this level, and they will not drop out, because they've learned to expect that distributors earning $300 monthly do not quit! Once they learn the truth about this business, they will operate within that truth! It will become a law of Network Marketing Sales nature. Note also the difference in their attitude when they achieve only $150 per month. Within the old paradigm of "getting rich," $150 would have left them feeling like (and therefore, being!) a failure. Now, when they reach $150, they'll say, "I'm halfway home!" What a difference! So, how do we get to that magical $300 -per-month benchmark? You and your downline are halfway there already, because you are now armed with the knowledge of the $300 Solution. Since most new Network Marketers haven't a clue as to how this profession works, they usually don't know what's expected of them. They have no realistic goal. Perhaps their goal is not specific and probably has no basis in fact even if they do have one. But now, they can have a realistic goal that's achievable, and backed up with research about this business. They now can have realistic expectations for themselves, and for their future downline, too! As for the specifics of how to get them to the $300 level in your organization, that depends somewhat on your product and your compensation plan. So, do a little research on your own program and establish several scenarios for your distributor group and teach them how to get to $300 a month as soon as possible! Help your downline members get to this level by prospecting and sponsoring distributors WITH THEM. Partnership is the key. Three-way calling and three-way sponsoring interviews are two powerful partnering tools you can use to have virtually anybody at $300 in very quick time. What's more, if they use three-way with all their people the way you did with them, imagine the dependability AND duplicate-ability of that! If you want more of your people to stick with it-- and with you, too--inject the $300 Solution into your teaching and training routine. Don't be afraid that you'll scare off those "heavy hitters" with an eye to more sky-high incomes. These folks will clearly and quickly see the virtue of`a system that has hundreds and hundreds of part-time Net workers (potentially in their organization) all earning enough to stay in business. And just for fun - and for the present and future possibilities of profit - take out your calculator and crunch some numbers to see what would happen if you were to merely diminish your own organization's attrition rate by, say, 10 to 20 percent. I think that you'll find what you've got there, in terms of your own check, is a good deal more than $300!

People who make $300 a month in this business within a relatively short period of time stick around. People who don't - do not. It's that simple!

3 Ways To Get PAID From FREE, Never Paying Affiliates!

FROM THE DESK OF

YOUR UPLINE SILVER TEAM LEADER

The Roc Group

We have updated our previous Around The Clock Income Builder website:

http://www.around-the-clock-income.com/

The plain truth is, the only way to GUARANTEE income growth in SFI, is to GUARANTEE downline FREE affiliate growth. By you understanding this fact now, you will see why President Gery Carson is a genius to make it so easy for ANYONE around the world to sign up, totally FREE!

If your downline does not grow each month, your SFI income will DEFINITELY NOT GROW EACH MONTH! The more people that hit your affiliate sponsoring link, the more people will sign up, FREE! The more people that sign up FREE through your advertising efforts, and the advertising efforts of those in you sponsor downline, the more Executive Affiliates there will be in your downline!!!

Using just 5 cents per click text ads on Adbrite will GUARANTEE you 1 to 3 new affiliates per day! Although, most FREE affiliates will come from the far east where internet growth is exploding, we are now realizing that you need these raw NUMBERS to get promoted to Team Leader status!

In other words, even FREE affiliate will contribute towards your ultimate goal of a solid future income! So, don't get discouraged if it seems that none of these FREE affiliates from Adbrite, or Eye Earn or other advertising are NOT upgrading, or even opting in to their affiliate account right a way.

As a result of not really understanding how they will earn money in SFI, over time, from FREE affiliates is the main reason why most FREE affiliates and many upgraded Executive Affiliates (EAs) who do start advertising, get discouraged and QUIT! They don't understand how affiliate downline building and marketing really works. This is the key to remember, "the more duds you get, the closer you are to getting a stud", so to speak!

All women have heard that they must go through a lot of pain in childbirth to get to the pleasure of motherhood, right? Yet, millions of babies are born, everyday! They all accept that reality! Well, until now, no one has been telling new affiliates that they must go through all these many, many FREE Affiliate ZERO's to get to those few Executive Affiliate HERO's, and why! (Sales and Marketing 101)

Focus on this: For every FREE affiliate in your 7-level downline you receive, you will eventually get paid between 32 cents to 85 cents per month in a solidly growing income. Imagine this:

EVERY FREE AFFILIATE IN YOUR DOWNLINE IS LIKE MONEY IN YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT!

How so, you ask?

Every FREE affiliate you receive each month, puts you closer to an EA is a mathematical fact. Its all a BIG NUMBERS game! Once you understand how the game is played, its easy for you to STAY MOTIVATED and become an FREE AFFILIATE SPONSORING super-star every month!

For every 20 to 40 FREE affiliates you personally sponsor or that is sponsored in your downline worldwide, you will yield 1 Executive Affiliate...PERIOD! If you sponsor most of your FREE affiliates from primarily English speaking countries the FREE to EA affiliate ratio will be closer to the 20 to 1 side.


If you sponsor most of your FREE affiliates, but definitely not all, from countries where English is not a common language, the FREE to EA affiliate ratio will be closer to the 40 to 1 side.

THESE ARE THE 3-WAYS YOU STILL GET PAID FROM

FREE, NEVER PAYING, NON-PRODUCING AFFILIATES!

1. Since every affiliate need 5 personal EAs to get promoted to Team Leader, where the real SOLID FUTURE INCOME is, you must work hard to get 100 to 200 FREE affiliates on your 1st level, as quickly as possible! On the average, at least 5 of them will be real winners that will pay to upgrade to EA! Consequently, every FREE affiliate is worth money towards your Team Leader promotion, and bigger commission checks!
2. Seldom will you personally sponsor a super-star, Platinum Team Leader type! Many of the Executive Affiliates in your downline will be sponsored by others who quit too soon, or never upgrade to EA. Since there are so many more of them who start advertising and quit, FREE affiliates like them will do much of the work finding your downline Executive Affiliates. As a team leader, you will get paid Team Leader Bonuses for all EAs in your 7-level downline, even if their sponsor was never an EA themselves.
3. Even though they may never pay themselves to become an EA, FREE affiliates deliver PAID affiliates from THEIR advertising efforts! If you are an EA yourself, as their direct sponsor, you get paid their money! (Thirty to Forty percent of the EAs in our downline have a sponsor who themselves are not an EA.)

Let's make it plain: If FREE affiliates are not upgraded to EA on the last day of the month that their commissions are due to be paid on the 10th of the following month, all their new EA payments, and for as long as they are not an EA, all their future residual EA payments they are entitled to, will roll up to you their EA sponsor, month, after month, year in, and year out!

In summary, to get to the true "priceless diamonds", the EAs, you will need to sift through a lot of seemingly "worthless sand", the FREE affiliates. Many of these FREE affiliates will deliver these diamonds for you in your downline, even though many of them will quit advertising before becoming diamonds themselves, by upgrading and maintaining their EA status!

ADVERTISING WITH YOUR OWN AROUND-THE-CLOCK-INCOME BUILDER WEBSITE, AND ADBRITE WILL EASILY DO THAT "HARD" FREE AFFILIATE SPONSORING WORK FOR YOU!

Just follow the advertising steps at this Adbrite link and/or join the "50,000 Prospects Monthly" link on your Around-The-Clock-Income website as close as you can, and you'll do extremely well in SFI over the next 1 to 3 years!

Finally, send your request to receive your own Around The Clock Income Builder website through the email link on the site, and we will send your website link ABSOLUTELY FREE, within 48 hours.


The affiliate key code for this Income Builder is 200. So once you start advertising your website linked to your SFI account, and you start to see affiliates showing up on your downline report with this key code 200, you'll know which of your advertising efforts produced them.

How to gain credibility as a sponsor to motivate affiliates to upgrade?

SFI UPLINE TEAM LEADERS - The Roc Group

Many affiliates write us all the time asking how to get people in their downlines motivated to upgrade to an Executive Affiliate.

This is not a simple proposition. Think about it this way. If someone approached you on a street corner in New York City and told you they would give you $10,000 if you would find 1000 people to voluntarily give you their name and email address, what would your first reaction be?

Your response to that question will give you the answer to why people do not join and upgrade to EA in SFI, right away. It's like this. If you have credibility, their belief level will go up exponentially.

Imagine if the person who was making the offer was a bummy lo0king individual. The prospective affiliate's first thought would be...why haven't you done it, if it works so great?

Now, imagine if that person was Donald Trump, one of the richest men in America? The belief level of the average person will go straight up...knowing Donald's back ground as a money-maker!

Everyone you see and meet is skeptical about "money making" offers. They see them as just another "money taking" offer. Everyone knows someone who has lost money trying to make money on and offline. They don't want to be the next victim. The more credibility you have, the more likely that your prospective EA will be to follow your lead to spend their hard earned money trying to earn more money.

How Do You Gain Credibility Prospecting Offline?

Years ago, at a time when the founders of The Roc Group were looking for a solid opportunity to create an offline business, we were introduced to a new telecommunications business opportunity called Excel Communications.

They were holding opportunity meetings in an upscale hotel in our city. After several invitation, we finally decided to go and check this "business opportunity" out. We were so impressed, we all signed up the same night, paying $125 each!

(After building his company to 2 billion-dollars in revenue in 8 years and going public, Excel shareholders agreed to sell us out to a competitior 3 years after we joined...who chose traditional advertising over network marketing.)

How did those presentors gain immediate credibility with us so much so that we chose to part with our hard earned money, on the spot?

First of all, they chose a really swanky hotel meeting room. Someone had to be making money to afford that place, right? The real truth was, they took up a collection from the reps every week to pay for the meeting room.

Secondly, they had a large audience. Certainly all these smart looking business people had to think this was a good and viable business plan, and were making money already, right? The real truth was, the opportunity was brand new in our city, so very few reps were earning money yet, and they were all in the "honeymoon period" in network marketing.

That's the first few months, just before affiliates/reps realize that the money will not come as easy as the presentors suggested. Its kind of like the first few months of marriage, for those who are, or were married.

Thirdly, they showed us how big money could be easily be earned within 60 to 90 days. The real truth about the marketing plan was, you would earn some money right away, but to earn "big" money like they suggested, it would take the "customary" 1 to 2 years of consistent word of mouth advertising efforts, as with any other viable network marketing opportunity. In other words, big money when you are earning enough to say you can quit your day job, if you wish!

Gaining credibility offline is much easier, then online. All you need is is an "image of success". Most people are instantly impressed when they see a guy driving around town in a new, shiny 740 BMW. Wow! He must be making money, right? The truth might be that he is renting the BMW with money he just gained in a slip and fall accident lawsuit.

However, if he can get enough people to believe he is already successful and earning his money from this business plan, then over time he will eventually get enough people to join so that he will become a success! That's really how every business work. Every McDonald's Franchise business-owner starts out with a business loan, right?

No one starts out in a franchise with net profits in the bank, the very first day! But, with a proven business plan, over time the franchisee will get in profit, without a doubt. Its the same principle in network marketing.

How to gain credibility online?

Now that's a tougher proposition. Anyone, can put together a website with few pictures of a big house, fancy cars, and exotic vacations, right? They can even put themselves in the pictures. Or should I say, put a good looking model type in the picture and claim to be that person. Any reasonably smart person should know that.

To gain credibility with your prospective EAs online is a process. First of all to be credible, you must first be an Executive Affiliate, yourself. You should also have advertised enough to have some FREE affiliates in your downline, and preferably a few other EAs.

If you don't have any affiliates, and even if you do, you should always recruit to your upline. In other words, talk about your upline's success in your writings. That's why having a successful upline leader is like starting a franchise with big business loan.

If you started the first McDonald's resturant in 1958, and you had THE big idea with a little store front resturant on a back street, you probably would have very few people who would be willing to try out your hamburger.

But, with a big loan and over 40+ years of business success, today you can put out the golden arches, and a fancy building on the main street and sha-zam...INSTANT CREDIBILITY! People would flood your resturant on opening day!

Your upline gives you this same type instant credibility on a smaller scale.

How big is your upline's organization? How long has he been in business promoting SFI? Where is his blog? What type of support does he give to FREE affiliates in his group to help them reach their goals. Does he have a system of doing business that can be easily duplicated? Does he have intro webpages to the SFI sponsoring site that new affilates can duplicate?

All this gives YOU credibility that YOU were smart enough to join such a successful business group. If your affiliates upgrade to EA, they will feel they have a good chance at the same, or greater success. Why keep searching for some other business opportunity that is not proven? Between SFI's 20+ years of success, their proven system of doing things, and an upline that is "responsive" and "supportive", what else would a sincere hard-working individual need to succeed?

You see, there are over 10,000,000 affiliates in SFI, why too many fail?

They all joined and had the exact same opportunity, and information, right? Why is it then, that 90% do not net one red penny? The plain truth is, the sincere, hardworking ones do not have upline support, and guidance.

The 10% of the affiliates that upgrade and reach a profit, all are following a system of doing business that has been proven. They execute either their upline's system or blindly follow SFI's proven system. You gain credibility you must regularly contact each affiliate with a system of doing business that yields measurable results over time.

Sure your successful upline will have a system to regularly contact your downline for you, but they were sponsored directly by you. You will get paid the lion's share for their success. Why not do your part for the team, and keep them up on your business building efforts and successes.

Everyone has joined programs online, only to get totally ignored by their sponsor. Most uplines, even in SFI, will not even write you back when you write them with a question or ask for information.

When you do not write your affiliates or prospects back, that DESTROYS YOUR CREDIBILITY.....instantly!

Who wants to spend their hard earn money joining a program, only to be ignored by the person who will financially benefit for their hard work? Set your mind to write everyone who writes you back within 48 hours or less. That builds credibility for upgrading!

Not everyone that you write initially will respond, but do your part, just in case this person is a real diamond in the rough that only will be revealed after some vigorus sifting over time.

Many affiliates join lots of different programs, and think this is the route to success. When they keep getting disappointed over and over, and you keep writing them over the years, demonstrating YOUR SUCCESS in one program, they will eventually "see" the BIG picture!

The bottom line is this:

Building a network marketing business is all about building trust and consistency within the individuals you sponsor. When your FREE affiliates continue to see you build your business over the years, and making progress up through the ranks in SFI, that will motivate some of them to follow your lead. Anounce every promotion you get, announce every qualification, announce when you reach milestone totals like the # of EA, or TLs or total affiliates in your downline.

It will all start with your hard work and remaining steadfast in your advertising efforts. Since the internet is the great equalizer, anyone, any where in the world can join your downline group.

Its not like you are limited to working your business building efforts in a small town of say 2000 people, unless you are able to travel a lot. Its not like you have to spend half off your free time making hundreds of phone calls to people who don't want to hear from you.

That was what network marketing used to be like in the pre-internet days, and lot of people still earned millions!

As an SFI affiliate you can build a large downline in over 200 countries. You should always think to yourself, "It's not about the land, its all about the man or woman. If it is to be, its totally up to me!"

Always remember this: Eagles do not look straight down for their next meal...they have a long-ranged view of things!

Don't get discouraged by what your business and income looks like today, imagine what it will look like 1 or 2 years from now.

It has been reported that it took President Gery Carson 3 years to make a profit when he started SFI. Look at where SFI is today, just 9 years later. SFI is largest company of its kind, WORLDWIDE!

Where would we be today if President Carson had quit in the first month, in the 3rd month, the 6th month?
