Getting a Standing order(SO) of an SBuilder, 125 TCredits, or an IAHBE monthly subscription are all great ways to be an executive affiliate every month. As an executive affiliate with a SO you will receive commissions, free CSAs, 2 extra entries into the Daily Grand Prize, and assurance of being entered into the E365 contest every day, whether you log in that day or not. Here is a list of the benefits of each SO item:

1. IAHBE is the most inexpensive option. You can learn all kinds of internet marketing skills, get free books, tools, and more. When you join and use this monthly program you will get excited and want to get everyone you know registered. They don't even have to be in SFI! It's great for all entrepreneurs!! You'd be earning good $$.

2. SBuilder - let SFI help you add personally sponsored affiliates to your team. You can set up an SBuilder co-op easily by using the Co-op Manager (under power tools). It's easy to set up. You can have just yourself and/or downline in your co-op, paid or free. You earn an extra 100 VP just for setting it up.

3. TCredits are extremely useful at the Pricebender Auction, for listing items and making purchases from your TripleClicks Store, and/or to transfer to your downline so they will check out and use their TripleClicks Store. This is how everyone earns income. It's the pool of income from the TC Store. You'll get excited if you make use of this money making and saving tool. This will motivate you to get ECAs, TripleClick, and SFI affiliates, not to mention Wave3, music etc.

4. Another excellent standing order would be DistribuStar gift cards. You can not only can customers, but also earn up to 300 VP by tracking them at your To-Do-List.

When you make purchases at the TripleClicks Store or Auction you will also earn member reward points (MRP) which can be used for more purchases their.

Here's some information that will help you get started. If you have any questions or need help of any kind please contact me by team mail, chat, or personal email.

What are the Versa Points (VP)? Versa Points are what you need to get to earn a commission and reach your desired rank, EA, E2, BTL, STL, GTL, PTL, or DTL. There are Action VP (AVP) and sales VP (SVP). The only time you receive SVP is when you buy or sell something online shopping site, TripleClicks.

For starters check Start, Getting Started, and Launchpad. They are colored buttons on this side of your photo. You can translate anything into your own language at SFI. There are two places to see how you are doing and to work from:

1} Your To-Do-List (located in your home - a red card) or
2} VP Leger (located in 'hot spots' in the black tab at the top of your site SFI).

When you go anywhere, you will see a list of tasks to complete. I work from my To-Do-List, but the VP Ledger will give you more information. For example, the Versa Points unseen on your To-Do-List.

Note: I can only check your VP Ledger.

To make VP get started on 1 and 2 above. Each page has tabs either red or black to get there. With black tabs, scroll down the list, choose one to go to that page. If you have a green V with a number inside, click on it to get that # of VP.


Go through your daily tasks on your To-Do-List every day. It only takes about 10 minutes if you do not read everything. Remember to scroll down on every page with a red tab, even 'Alerts' and 'win' for an extra entry to the Daily Grand Prize Contest. On the page where you enter the prize you get links to other sites to your TripleClicks store. The T-Time Contest and Pick- the- Price are free to enter, however, if you want to be entered in other competitions you have to use at least 1 TCredit (or EZ point from New Member Package). Play at least one Eager Zebra game to be entered into another contest. You will earn active VP too.

I have thousands of inactive affiliates and doubtful customers for my TripleClicks Store too! I do have a successful SFI business however.

I'm a Silver Team Leader and have been active for 20 months.
The lowest rank I've ever held is Bronze Team Leader.

I log on to my site every day if possible and do everything I can to learn, to help my team, and to gain versa points.

I participate in the forum, our team Facebook page, and all the programs, ECA (both as a sponsor and participating myself), Wave3, Pricebender Auctions, DistribuStar, games, song downloads, and use my TC Store to purchase gifts and things for myself.

This way I know how to help everyone PSAs and CSAs alike and to keep them up to date on what is happening. Of course I mainly work with the workers and those asking questions. I look at their VP ledgers to give personal tips. The new E-Cards are working out great and many are thankful for the tip.

I find that in the first month it is essential to give tips so that they have enough free versa points to make EA the following month. New affiliates also need to know that if they have not attained EA by the end of the first month, they have to transfer their versa points to the following month before the 7th. There will be a chance to choose that option on the alerts page, just like they will have to accept their CSAs and renew their Wave3 membership.

Some things I do to motivate my team is to put on contests to recognize their accomplishments. I give TCredits, gift certificates, reassignment of affiliates to show how much I appreciate their efforts.

Sometimes you will get lucky and get an affiliate who is self-motivated. Get to know them as a person! These are your keepers. I've reassigned top affiliates to some of these people. Just don't do it until you're sure they are serious about their business and have shown you how hard they are trying and excelling. At least BTL status.

I have asked for, and received reassignments from my sponsor also. This is team effort!

The best advice I have for you is to be persistent, get excited, tell your friends and family all about the different programs offered. And advertise, purchase, or win affiliates at Pricebenders. By the way, you also receive second home CSAs when you are a Team Leader. Your CSAs can really be your strongest asset.

Just don't quit and be an EA or higher every month.

That's a really good question. I'm going to answer that, assuming that your area has been approved for local listings.

- First and foremost become an ECA yourself and get comfortable listing products in your local area. Find out any difficulties and reach a solution.

- Contact each one and find out if they are having trouble listing their products. It could be that they are just getting frustrated with the listing, not getting their products approved, or something else.

- If they are willing, lead them through the process of listing single and multi-listings, and be ready to assist them every step of the way.

- If they are not willing, ask them why? Explain to them how they can benefit financially, help them by advertising and buying their products. Let them know that you will do that for them, and anything else required.

It is important for your whole team to understand MRP. Member Reward Points are given to affiliates for the purchase of anything at the TripleClicks Store and for bids on the Pricebender Auction. They are like reward cards for frequent shoppers at regular stores with storefronts. MRP help to keep shoppers returning to use their reward points.

Five MRP (or 10 MRP on 2x MRP Auctions) are earned with each bid at the Pricebender Auction.

Some items purchased at the TripleClicks Store are worth more MRP than others, so look to the right by the vendor to see how much you will get.

Your PSAs (and CSAs) will also earn commissions and versa points from their own purchases and from those from their TripleClick Affiliates, including the purchase of TCredits for the Pricebender auction.

The long term benefit of having your first line PSAs knowing about MRP and the TripleClicks Store is to earn matching VP when they are EA2 and Team Leaders.

The most valuable thing that I personally learned during my first year in SFI is that you have to make personal connections with your affiliates and you need to play the odds.

If your affiliates don’t think you care they won’t be loyal. You’re just lucky if some decide to go ahead and be independent, becoming leaders themselves. If you do get this lucky make the personal connection, recognize, encourage, motivate, reward, and answer all their questions as soon as possible as you would with any and all of your affiliates.

For me, I find that just getting a handful of affiliates on a monthly basis is best. I can’t devote enough attention to more than say 25 PSAs and 50 CSAs. You don’t want too few either because then you may get discouraged. 99% probably won’t get past the first month or two, if they even try at all. Some may even quit after a year of being a Team Leader or EA2! However, if you keep up personal communication they may come back after taking a break.
Some other important things I learned were:

1. Don’t reassign affiliates too soon. You can only earn matching VP (commissions) with your first line PSAs (and CSAs but at a much lower rate). You have 90 days to earn 5 VP on the reassignment of a line 1 PSA who has made at least 600 VP during that time. I try to reassign affiliates who have only worked for a month and have most likely quit. I also try to assign people to my top affiliates who live in the same country and/or speak the same language. Only assign other hot affiliates when you have 5-6 strong Team Leaders in your first line.

2. Don’t try to become a Team Leader too soon. Just concentrate on being an EA2 on a monthly basis, while recruiting affiliates in all areas of the business. Don’t forget things like Wave3, IAHBE, the ECA program and TripleClicks affiliates, including the Pricebender Auction.

3. Become an ECA yourself and encourage your downline to do the same, or at least sponsor and help a small company list items at the TripleClicks Store. Buy things from TripleClicks, especially your personally sponsored ECAs, It is your Store and should be the first place you look to make purchases of any kind. This where your commissions and royalties come from.

4. Last, but not least, set goals and a budget.

That’s an interesting question. I’m used to explaining what new affiliates should do.

Common mistakes made by new affiliates:

1. Not taking this business seriously or giving up too soon. Patience is required.

2. Not taking advantage of the 200 VP bonus for getting 500 VP in the first 24 hours.

3. Not logging in every day to learn, to collect versa points, and to enter contests.

4. Not taking advantage of all the training, tools and knowledge available from the

SFI site, including the Forum, Ask SC, a2a, and asking for help from your upline

sponsors. Or not taking the advice given. Don't try to 're-invent the wheel'!

5. Not studying the compensation plan to set your realistic goals for the months to come.

6. Not taking into consideration the vast streams of income available in SFI and TripleClicks.

7. Not using your TripleClicks Store as your first choice for ordering products and services.

8. Not advertising for PSAs, TC members, Wave3, ECAs, and products from the TripleClicks Store.

9. Not sponsoring affiliates. Not being an EA every month, minimum.

10. Not getting a Standing Order for as much as you can afford on a monthly basis.

11. Not looking into, or asking about your options to gain easy versa points to qualify for at least EA every month or preferably as a Team Leader.

12. Not realizing that you have your own page to advertise from. This is your TC page.

You call sell products and make your own store there. You even earn 5 points per week to visit this page.

The list could be endless but I hope this will suffice for now.

SFI success is all about duplication, so it follows that the development of team leaders are essential to creating success on every level.

If you have five Bronze Team Leaders you will earn 150 x 5 = 750 Active VP per month. This will boost up your own leadership status, you will receive 2nd home CSAs, TCredits, and matching versa points from all your EA2s and above down to several levels.
See benefits chart for more information. https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart

Although SFI is not a pyramid scheme, it follows most business models where there is a hierarchy from top to bottom. The only difference is that every affiliate has the same chance as everyone else to build their own empire.

If you can get 5 really good leaders who get 5 good leaders, you will have 25 leaders in your first and second line. Imagine how profitable a business you would have if this went down 12 levels, as it does for Platinum Leaders!!

Of course it takes time and going through many affiliates to find the 5 that will be your leaders. Sometime leaders will pop up further down the line and you will also have Co-Sponsored Affiliates that you can also help to increase your monthly bottom line.

Even if you yourself an not an ECA, for example, if you have leaders who are ECAs, they can train their downline. Of course, it's best if you learn as much as you can and to lead as an example.

Good luck. You will be successful. Just don't give up!

"If you fail to plan you plan to fail", is an old adage. I believe this to be true. Setting goals gives you something concrete to aim for. Set your goals small at first. Something that you know you can do. Increase as you are able to do comfortably.

Here is some advice:

1. You need to have some direction in which you are heading or you will go off in 10 different directions at the same time. It leads to confusion and frustration.

2. Set up realistic goals with the help of your sponsor, co-sponsor, or Up line.

3. Make both short term and long term goals to keep you on track.

4. Have someone like your sponsor, friend, or family member keep you accountable.

5. If you go off track, get help and get back in the saddle!! Don't give up!!

6. Celebrate when you reach that goal. Decide ahead of time what your reward will be.

7. Finally, take it easy and have fun!

Yes, I believe you can. SBuilder Co-op shares come from the pool created by SFI advertisements. You can also use SBuilders to create your own co-op so that your affiliates can have shares. This is great if they don't have much money to spend. They can pay you through paypal if you have one. They don't have to have one. Sponsor people that you know also so that you can work with them personally. You also advertise yourself through blogging, social and business networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In. Once you get affiliates, maintain them by keeping in touch and building a friendship as well as tips and encouragement. Teach them to do what you do. Try to make your connections personal, not just copy written text or someone else suggestions. Teach them to read and learn all they can, log-in daily, get a monthly standing order worth 1500 versa points, and do everything they can on their to-do-list as they are able.
