Business Building Blocks - First SFI Affiliate Sign-up

Question
"Some 3 PSAs have registered and I am a bit mixed up on how to go about it..."

Answer
It is wonderful to have your first (Personally Sponsored Affiliate) PSA join your team. The thing that one wonders is, okay, you’re here, now what do I do with you?

Here are quick tips to help you navigate this little mental obstacle, and I will start with a bit of data. Generally, affiliates or people joining your team will only commit to working with you if you connect with them within the first twenty four hours of their signing up.

SFI deals with that snag for you by putting up a generic email letter that welcomes your affiliate as soon as they sign up. Your sign-ups will quickly identify these as automated system emails because they will thereafter continue to receive the daily Launch Pad emails.

There are two things that you can do immediately to enhance your relationship with your sign-ups.

1.    Use sign-up to Personalize your Welcome email
If your intention is to build a business, your sign-ups need to know you personally. They do not want to relate to a machine, they want to relate to a person. Therefore, take this first sign-up to do something important for your business – personalize your welcome email.

The welcome email sent out by SFI is generic and it carries a basic welcome to the program. If you look through your emails from SFI, you will notice they are two welcome emails, written as though they are from your Sponsor.

Rather than agonize with setting up an auto-emailing system, take advantage of the SFI emailing system to send your sign-ups a message that says exactly what you want to say to them. The SFI system allows you to edit one of the two emails sent out.

How do you edit the welcome message? Whenever someone joins SFI as your downline, the system will send you the information directly to your email. On this email you will find content as shown in the screenshot below.

If you click on that first link (make sure you are signed in to SFI) you will go to the specific page of the new affiliate that will have other details important to you as the Sponsor.

If you scroll down on that page, you will find a section that looks like the screen shot below:

This is the generic email sent out to your affiliates immediately they join SFI. If you edit this email, then you control what you say to your affiliates when they join SFI. Once you are through with editing it, send it to the current sign-up too. 

2.    Open up Lines of Communication Just as with that first email, your affiliates will soon discover that even that personal email was automated. You want to get in touch with them personally through another email, chat, or using any other method that assured them there is a person behind the business.

I have found that connecting with people within the week that they join generates more positive affiliates than when I wait longer.

Decide how to manage your communication schedule Depending on how you wish to build your business, you can choose to make your communication lines open through email, by phone (if affiliates are in your country), or any other communication method. I personally find email convenient because I can communicate with my affiliates even when they are on a different time-line from mine.

When I need to pass on more detailed information, I use skype as my preferred method of voice communication. The key is this, if the people the other end are assured you are real, they are more likely to engage with you more.

To your success!

How to quickly start making money and getting paid with the SFI Debit Card

This article will introduce you to my specific online tool to enable you start your SFI business running. As soon as you join the SFI Online Business, the next most important thing is to get your account running so that you can get your debit card which also indicates that you are now earning and can get paid. If you cannot work the SFI Online Business well enough it is highly unlikely that you will get the debit card, which means you cannot get your pay for just that much longer. SFI online business is a business like any other and you need to put in some effort to make your first payment come to you.

I receive numerous requests from people who want to know how to work the SFI business to make money and get the debit card. Since I do not have an infinite amount of free time to explain to everyone who asks the question, I have developed a simple step by step tool that you can use to make that first pay happen. I have packaged the tool in the form of a simple ebook with an accompanying bonus tools that you can follow from day one of starting your SFI business and watch yourself make money with ease.

I would have loved to offer this tool for free, but it took me hours (months actually) of trying different things out and quite a number of dollars to develop a system. The good news is that what I present is sure to work for you regardless of where you come into the SFI Online business from or what your intentions are. If your intentions are to make a stream of income or to just make a few dollars to get the card, this system will work for you. If you are new to the internet and are wondering where to start; this tool will work for you too.

For that reason, I charge a small token fee which you can pay either in MPESA funds if you are in Kenya or through Paypal if you are outside of Kenya.

Thank you!

Why Concepts Of Money, Work, And The Internet Must Change To Succeed Online

You must understand that there is no such thing as 'free information' on the earth. Therefore, in order for the net to run, the entire principle behind it is money moving from one hand into the other. Now all sites generate an income for someone somehow. If you have an aversion to people making money, then you will need to rethink that online because everyone makes money off everyone. Money circulates online in mad circles.

The other concept of money that takes a definite shaking and needs a shift online is that money is not necessarily the physical cash you have in hand. As you will recognize from another related post, there are many people with money online that is not in cash form. The reality is it still is money and you can do tremendous things online and turn your fortunes purely by realizing the value of a dollar is not in the note that you get from the bank. 

What about your work ethic? You succeed online by your effort because to get freelance jobs online, you bid for the job. You stand in line with hundreds of other equally qualified (and many jokers) to try and catch employer attention. If you do get the job, but fail to deliver, the employer does not pay and dumps you because they have such choice. If you are a 'newbie' as people without a previous jobs portfolio are called, then you will have to get into the game to find new jobs by learning how the competition works.

Getting Started Around The SFI Site

The most important word after 'income' at SFI is Versa Points which is currently abbreviated as VP. There are some places on the site that you will see then called SVP; it’s the same thing. As you have likely recognized by now, SFI is primarily an online business opportunity and there is a lot of its functions and workings that are online, although you can also run it offline. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the system online as much as possible as that will help you build your team from anywhere internationally. I trust that your vision is to have an international business.

Getting around the site
Within your first month at SFI you start receiving an email a day, these emails are your gateway to 'what is SFI about'. Store them well and red them too. Each one deals with different things daily, and they explain how the system at SFI works. By day 15 you'll probably be overwhelmed with all the information. Do not panic, you will get the hang of it in a short while.

The best way to get through them is to print out each lesson daily. As you continue to flip through them offline, SFI will take shape in your mind and you will see the huge potential that there is. SFI like all other businesses will require your commitment to work – so choose to succeed and you will. 

Two tips to the basics of finding your way around the site

The most important page that will enable you to start walking towards an income even before you are a month old at SFI is your home page. If you log onto your SFI account where you fill in your name and password; you will see the section with these tabs:


There are five tabs here and each of them shows different content when you click on it. The five are:

1.    SFI basics
2.    My to-do list
3.    My movers
4.    Hot spots
5.    My goals

By default, the page opens on the SFI basics page. However, the 'my to do list' is the most important right now to help you earn points without making a purchase. You will find a list of possible actions you can take from short term to long term. Whenever you take action from 'my to do list' page, notice the green 'V' at the top of the page, like so: 

Whenever you read a page, make sure you click on this green button if it is there. That is how to increase your versa points.

Goal Setting and Achieving Goals
On the same 'my to do list' there is an option to 'make your goals'. I strongly encourage you to do this before the week ends and then send them to your sponsor. Your goals enable your sponsor and your upline to help you work towards your goals in the best way they can. All the efforts we put into SFI are intended to help you achieve your financial goals as fast as possible.

No one at SFI builds a business similar or just like the other one. Everyone is unique according to their goals and the environment they find themselves in. however, there is something for every goal at SFI and we can help you achieve it in no time. Do not assume 'making money' is a goal either. To one, money is 100 a day, to another it is 100,000 a day. Create your goals and sent them to your sponsor and upline within your first week. 

To your success at SFI,
Income With a Mission Team

Goal setting – simple tips to make your goals much easier to achieve

A few months ago, I gave myself a new task that is takes up a huge chunk of my time. Now, as every true blogger will testify, managing a blog and keeping it up to date can be a task on its own.

Now, I have a number of blogs each speaking of my particular area of interest; and my interests are many though related. The events I go through daily trigger some entries and other are pre-planned to deliver as much important information to my clients as required. Handling all these and keeping up with other work stuff in the course of my day is quite the life.

That did not stop me from adding another job to my day, namely freelance writing. If my day was busy before, now it is teeming. I love freelance work – it not only gives me the joy of interacting with all sorts of amazing new people and topics, but it keeps my mind grounded on the fact that I am a publishing girl at heart much as I love personal development.

How can I withdraw Paypal Money Into Kenya Using Epesa

As a business minded gal (I don’t think I view myself as an entrepreneur) I like to give credit where it is due, especially when someone is responding to a need and making money out of it. That is the true concept of business. There is a common thread on many Kenyan forums; 'how can I withdraw Paypal money into Kenya'. I have written as extensive article about that here. The simple answer to that on that post is – you can receive money in Kenya using Paypal, but it is a pain in the you-know-what to get it out. I still maintain that position, but on this post I can confidently say I now know of another way, though I think it is an expensive one, to bring Paypal money into Kenya and it will work for you in an emergency - Epesa. 

I was recently having this discussion 'how can I withdraw Paypal money into Kenya' with a friend whose internet knowledge I trust, and they said, have you tested Epesa. I said, they are a shylock; charging me 30% as far as I am concerned only exists with shylocks. Yeah! Sometimes I can be stereotypical like that. He said no, it is not that high it's about half. Then I said, have you used them, because every time I try to log onto their site, I am told it is an insecure site. And then he said, would I seriously recommend a scam to you? And with that powerful sales pitch, I decided to give Epesa a try and see what happens. Here is a narration of my experience with Epesa.

For those of you who do not like details, let me crunch the numbers for you. To withdraw 110$ which roughly translates to 8,415 KES using the Epesa shilling amount at 76.5 KES to the dollar, I finally received by Safaricom MPESA 6,923 KES. Since I am a Kenyan, and I like to think like a Kenyan, it basically meant I spent 1,492 KES to bring in less than 9,000KES, which is about 17.7% and to me that is an expensive route because it is for every transaction. The good news here is, if you have an emergency situation like you need to send your mother seed (why is 'money to buy seed' always an emergency?) you will get your money in about 72 hours through the Epesa platform.

For those of you that like the details, here is the process:

How Can I Withdraw Paypal Money In Kenya

This post gains its title from a common thread in several online forums, and one that I have asked myself, 'how can I withdraw Paypal money in Kenya'. I have also answered two other questions in brief, because in my view, all three are related; 'how can I verify my Paypal account in Kenya', and 'how can I make money online in Kenya'.

How can I withdraw Paypal money in Kenya?

There are many options that are given to this problem. Some are the 'get sneaky' options, but I did find one that is not sneaky and in fact gave me a solution to another pertinent question; how do I make money online in Kenya, which I answer lower in this article.

The method I used was round about at the start, but in the long term, I find that this method saves me the agonies of thinking 'what if I get caught' kind of thoughts. I derive it from a common answer that you will find to this question that says, to get your money in Kenya, open an account in a foreign country. Well, here is a legal way to do that. Simply join a free to join affiliate program that has an internationally recognized paying option.

I joined the SFI business opportunity. The SFI business opportunity requires that you make 20$ as income in order for you to get your SFI Debit Card. SFI Debit Card uses the Payoneer or Master Card platform. Now if you look at many payment options online, you will see where they leave out Paypal, they have the MasterCard logo. So there are other advantages to this card too – you can use it online where you cannot use most of our local cards too.

The greatest advantage and this is the one that solves your Paypal withdraw money in Kenya problem, is that you can transfer your money to this card, and withdraw it at your local ATM. Now how cool is that – no hassles – no troubles?
