Only Time Will Tell

Everybody has their own way of conducting their individual businesses. Some may be similar, while others choose unique techniques that they feel will bring them more success than the traditional way of doing business.

No matter what you choose as the route for your business venture, it all takes time to find out if your way is the best way. From business plans, to advertising and interacting with potential clients, you may have to sway from your original ideas to make your business more successful. 

Don't be afraid to do your research, and find as many tips and techniques as you can to always be improving on the ideas that you already are carrying out.

Only time will tell if your way is the best way, or if you have some reconsidering to do as to how you conduct your business.

I would like you to consider joining my team and starting your own business with me, at http://www.myfortunesolution.com.
You are still in control of how you run your business, but you are provided with all of the tools and training needed to become successful. Besides having everything you need, I will personally guide you through the entire process of learning, and earning, as I will only truly succeed if you do too.

What is Your Dream?

From the time we are little, we all dream about what we want to be when we get older, and we spend years building up our dreams and working on improving our goals to accomplish those dreams. As we mature, obviously our dreams change and our outlook on what is important will vary. What is your dream?

Do you dream of living in a mansion, driving a brand new BMW, and taking regular vacations in the Bahamas? Or, maybe you are less about the material items and wish to only live in a home large enough for your family without owing a dime on it, driving your 2006 Chevrolet Malibu that has been paid off for years, and taking outings with your family near your hometown, rather than visiting luxurious vacation destinations? 

No matter what your dream is for your life, you have to devote yourself to never giving up that dream, and not being afraid to accept challenges in life that can make that dream come true. Having a positive attitude and pushing through life's struggles with the best of your ability, will turn your dreams into reality. I personally find my strength in God, and only with him am I able to conquer my obstacles in life.

Without dreams, you have nothing to work towards, so never stop trying to reach your personal best. Seek out a support system that you can share those dreams with, and accept the support and encouragement that such people provide. Stay away from negative attitudes as much as possible, because they will steal away your joy and can cause you to lose your motivation. 

We are all God's children, and He wants us to have the best of everything in life. Will you have struggles along the way? Of course you will, because without struggles, you would never need to turn to Him. 

I hope you have a blessed day and dare to dream.

My SFI Techniques

Since I started at SFI, I have tried my best to take things slowly, and learn all that I can in order to succeed. Part of what I have read is that too many people make SFI harder than it needs to be, usually because they want instant gratification, or a large commission every month for doing very little work.

First of all, logging in EVERY day and completing your “To-Do List” is a huge step in the right direction. Why anyone would think that SFI should pay a monthly commission for doing these things is beyond me. It literally takes 15 minutes per day to complete these tasks, and SFI rewards you with VersaPoints, even though they are giving you all of the tools and training that you need to succeed. I consider this extremely generous of them, and since I don't work for SFI, but I am trying to build my own online business, this is the least I can do to show my devotion to building my own business.

Since my first month here, I chose to purchase a standing order of 125 TCredits for $36.25 per month, and I was willing to do odd jobs during the month to cover the costs that I was putting into my business. Sometimes I babysat for one weekend a month, and earned way more than what I was spending on my standing order, and other times I would go and mow a couple of small yards and return pop bottles, and I was still coming out ahead of what I was spending.

I also chose to purchase a domain name from GoDaddy for under $10.00 for the year, and their tech support helped me so that I had a creative name, but whenever someone goes to that website, it automatically redirects them to the SFI home page. Once I had my personal site set up, I did a Google search and found hundreds of different places that I could advertise at, all at no cost. I then spent approximately an hour per day placing ads on various websites, and I let the sign-ups begin rolling in.

Even though I was brand new to SFI, I started immediately trying to guide my team to do exactly what I was doing. Any time a question would arise from the few that would actually ask them, I would search for the answers and get back to them immediately. I learned so much just by searching for information for my team, as well as searching for the answers to the SFI “Biz Quiz” answers. This is all invaluable information and I am very thankful for all of the support and training provided by SFI and all of the great members on the “Forum”.

I figure that I spend a minimum of 90 TCredits per month (3 TCredits per day) doing my listed actions. I play Card King 2 times a day for free, and then I spend just 1TC to play it a third time. I have tried the other games and I'm not very good at them, so I just stick with what works for me. Once I exit Card King, I then spend 1 TC to play "Pick a Price". After completing these tasks, my "EZ" tab is now green and I move onto the "PB" tab. Every time I bid on an auction, I choose something that will help build my business if I win, and I only play the double points (DP) auctions so that I receive 10 MRP rather than just 5 on other auctions.

The auctions come into play because once I have bid 10 times, I earn a spin to build up to a full PSA from the "Bid & Build" on the sideline. In a typical month, I earn at least 2 PSA's from using this bonus. I also keep a close eye on my MRP throughout the month, and once I have 126 MRP or higher, I then use the MRP to purchase 1 TC at TripleClicks and earn 102 VersaPoints for each one that I purchase.

Another great way to earn VP is to play the "T-Time" numerous times per day. I enter every single hour that I am anywhere near my computer, and I win 2 TC multiple times per week using this method.

Every week I am either winning "T-Time", "Daily Grand", "Daily Crown", or "E365 Daily Drawing". It is such a great feeling to receive an e-mail telling me that I have won something from one of the many contests that SFI offers every day. In my opinion, this is also very generous since I am here to build a business for myself, and I am being given different useful items all the time to help me along the way.

For the first four months that I was here, I earned a commission each month, but not enough to cover my standing order, so I used what I did make and I purchased small items from TripleClicks. I bought some great e-books, some headphones for my son, and other little items that I found interesting, and I was able to earn VP on all of it.

As my time here goes on, my life seems even crazier, and I will admit that I haven't done nearly as much as I could with my SFI business, but I am maintaining my daily login activities, and I am keeping my current ads running. Even with such small effort on my part, I am maintaining my standing order and my commissions are covering every cent that I put into my business, and then some. This business works, and you decide how much you want to make depending on the time and effort that you are willing to put into it.

There are still so many other ways to earn VP, and to get sales or sign-ups, and I have just now begun to scratch the surface of attempting to make sales. Every article you read, and every tip that you receive could be the piece of advice that will allow you to get your business of the ground.

Don't get discouraged, get tough and determined! Your attitude and approach can make or break you!


Have a great day everyone!

Presentation is Everything

Whether you are e-mailing a potential customer, or placing your ads on traffic exchange sites, you must remember to spell check the entire message. This morning, I ran across a “professional ad” that was running on one of the popular traffic exchange sites, and I had to laugh out loud when I saw the wording that was presented for the offer.

“It don't cost you nothing to join!” All I could think was what kind of idiot is trying to promote this offer, and why would I follow anything that they are doing? I suppose I shouldn't be so judgmental, because this may have been a translator issue, but it reminded me of someone misspelling words in Christmas lights. Just imagine the reaction of people seeing “Mary Krismis” made up fancy with Christmas lights around your home, and what they must think of the person that lives there, due to their spelling errors. Most people will not take your message seriously when there are obvious errors in presenting your message.

It's sad to say, but in this world, presentation is everything. Double check the things you are trying to say, and make sure they don't make you appear uneducated. Besides wording, what about the pictures that you choose to send along with your messages? Are you using a picture of a slot machine to enlist people to your MLM business? In my opinion, this only gives the impression that signing up is a gamble, and therefore, I would never join, even if it was the best opportunity out there. Do you use pictures of piles of $100 bills to catch the attention of others? How likely is anybody going to end up with piles of $100 bills if they join you right now? None, unless they go into your offer with lots of money to begin with. I feel like the pictures and wording that you use to enlist people should be honest, and present the offer in a realistic way, so you are not misleading people who will sign up, and quit shortly after, once they realize they were misled.

Get creative with your advertising and make the best presentation that you can, without misleading anyone to join your team. Building trust right from the beginning will help you build a stronger team of affiliates, and will in turn create more success for you in the future.
