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

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.

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

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.

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

What is the most valuable thing you learned in your first year in SFI?

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

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

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.

Why is setting goals so important in becoming successful in SFI?

"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

Is it possible to build a substantial Income with SFI, within 3-5 years, by purchasing ONLY a few S-Builder Co-op shares each month?

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,
