Each month your running total of Versa points drops to "0" Zero on the first of each month, regardless of the day of the month that you actually joined. That is because SFI has to account for monthly VP and payouts and they prefer to do them on a monthly basis rather than staggering the period for the join date of each individual member. It is also easy to remember that the cutoff point is midnight CST on the last day of each month and payouts are calculated for everyone on the tenth of the month. This is to help you ascertain at a glance exactly how many VersaPoints you have earned in the current month. The Header of each SFI page holds the pertinent information that you should need to attain your VersaPoint goals and keep abreast of your email, and a one click link to your Sponsors profile or Leadership Page blog depending upon their level of participation.

The second number next to your monthly VersaPoints running total is the total of number of VersaPoints that you have earned within the last 180 days+ any permanent points you may have earned at any point along your the entirety of your membership. This total is the total that is used to calculate your shares of the Executive Pool each month.

That little area on the header of your SFI page is actually a very versatile group of dynamic links which allow you one click access to not only your Sponsor but the Monthly VP number will link you to your Scoreboard page, your Total VP number will link you to the VersaPoints Ledger which holds a permanent report of all of the VersaPoints you have earned, how you earned them, and when. You can also click the yellow number next to your sponsors name to go to the email application so that you can make inquiries or contact them. You can access your email from there and you also have access to the SFI basics and Launchpad Lessons for review at any time.

There are three groups of people that join the site (1) people who are thinking about maybe, one day, starting a home based business so they want to check out what our program is about, how much it costs, what it all entails, 'for future reference' (I was one of those 11 years ago!) (2) Tire kickers who want to know if membership is free where does he money come from to pay commissions and bonuses etc. They are fully prepared to be sceptical and pessimistic and when they are exposed to all of the information and realize that they are actually expected to operate in their own interests and invest a little money too, they decide that SFI is not for them. The #(3) group are like you and I. We signed up ready to get to work from the minute we verified our accounts and logged on for the first time. People who are determined to put their best effort and energy into making a successful run at whatever we decide to become a part of.

Don't let those "affiliates" discourage you or distract your focus. They aren't/weren't ready to get to work and you don't need anyone who wants to profit from you doing all of the hard work for them. Those affiliates that are ready to take this opportunity seriously and who aren't terrified at the very thought of a little hard work, stand out amongst the slurry of non-starters, whiners, and those who want to be left out or left behind. They stand tall as all of the weak, weak minded, weak willed, or weak excuse maker non risk taker individuals melt like snow in spring and flow all around you on their way down stream rather than down line. Those who want this, with whom you have important ideas, dreams, and visions in common, will be standing firm in the stream right next to you as the rest wash away.

Commonly around 1% of free affiliates will take action and move up to even the first executive tier. That number is a bit higher here on SFI but if you are averaging more than 1% and especially if you are finding the rate motivated, intelligent, teachable, with a healthy positive attitude. focus instead on what you can do with and for those people rather than those who will not take actuon no matter what you do or say.

You should qualify as an EA and use free advertising resources when you are first starting out. There are multiple ways to advertise that are low cost or no cost, some may require an investment of time like the time it takes to surf for site credits, but it enables you to promote your links and gateways in places where people who are interested in working from home spend time.

Getting and qualifying for your EA status is the most important part of maintaining your SFI business. You can start using paid advertising sources as you begin to make money. You will find that a lot of our peers use the same traffic generation sources. Recruiting using these sources can sometimes be slow but if you invest enough time and energy into these sources you will find referrals.

Don't sit around and wait for them to expire. Go through the TripleClicks website, most of the items in the marketplace provide three prices on each listing. 1. price in US dollars 2. price in TCredits 3.Price in MRP. There are some items that are a better deal than others. Spending your MRP on things like apparel or TCredits is not the best use of them. You can use them to subscribe to popular magazines, for silver bars, gold coins, i phones, branded TripleClicks binders, and a handful of other really desirable things if you just look under the tab MRP in the Products menu. However as I mentioned you can actually use them for just about everything that TripleClicks sells.

I went and checked out the pages that they have set up for rewards that are the most popular and can be purchased with your member rewards points. I chose three things that I am going to use my MRP for throughout the year. I will know the minute that I accumulate enough points to purchase each item and I will use them as soon as I have enough of them rather than waiting for them to change the items, the item price, or my points begin to expire.

To get the most out of anything requires a plan of action. What you want to use them for is for you to decide. I am two months ahead of my 6 month plan to aquire my first of the items that I want, and when I accumulate the necessary points it will save me just over $100 because if it weren't for the MRP Points I would have gone ahead and spent the money for my item whenever I had it to spare. I am good at waiting and planning, especially if it saves me $100 bucks for something that I want!

The TripleClicks Executive Pool is comprised of 45% of the sales price of items purchased from TripleClicks within a calendar month. The total VersaPoints earned for the month are calculated and shares of the executive pool are determined by the number of VersaPoints that you have accumulated. You also earn commissions from your downlines purchases. Those are your first two income streams in the program. That is how I explain it to people.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for everyone. When you see one of your affiliates headed in that direction, ie plowing through all of the free points and climbing the ranks, you should begin to ask them questions. Help them to create a plan based upon their answers. If Team Leader status is where they want to be from their first month, and they feel that they can sustain a Team Leader level, then let them work their business as they see fit. You can provide them with the reasons that you feel this is not a good idea but for those who are determined to do it their way, there is no stopping them.

My first month I was aiming for Bronze team leader and ended up becoming a Platinum Team Leader first month. This is my third month and I am not quitting, I have not allowed my level to slide down to EA status, nor do I intend to. Each month I create a plan of action to elevate my level to Bronze Team Leader and then I work towards that goal. In the three months that I have been with SFI my team has grown to over 250 members. Most of those are second home CSA's but a few of them are actually aiming higher than I am and making commissions for me. I have also recruited 17 PSA's using various methods.

One Team Leader in the forum said that when he got his crop of Second Home CSA's his income went up to over $100 per month. Had he not qualified as a Team Leader there would have been no Second Home CSA's for him and that income would have gone to some other ambitious Team Leader. My point is that there are benefits to qualifying as a team leader and that some people have higher aspirations and goals than you do, you shouldn't try to hold everyone to your specific standard, levels, or goals. Just make sure that you offer support and advice for each of your affiliates and allow them to seek their own levels.

I think that the most important things for a brand new affiliate to do are:
To familiarize themselves with the site. Start with the getting started page and proceed to the LaunchPad lessons.

Go and read the information pages like the FAQ, SFI Code of Conduct, the Affiliate Agreement (It is a good idea to read it to know what you can expect from SFI and what they expect, and you have agreed upon, to do)

Contact their sponsor to introduce themselves and find out if your sponsor has any Getting Started Suggestions or advice to add.

Begin accruing those free VersaPoints and establishing a habit for doing their to do list tasks each day.

Go and familiarize themselves with their TripleClicks site and the items that it sells.

Getting familiar with the opportunity and its components from the very beginning so you can knowledgably share the SFI opportunity with others is equally important as learning the rules and accepted practices for our SFI business from the very start.

In my opinion it is better to provide less information in your ads. The reason(s)
1. if they want more information they can find it here on the SFI website.
2. Advertisements are supposed to be brief but compelling. You aren't trying to explain the entire business to every prospect who may or may not be interested in the same aspects of the business that you find interesting and marketable.
3. The more you include in your ad the more likely you are to misrepresent or misinterpret some aspect unless you cut and paste the explanation directly from the site.
4. It takes longer to provide more information in your campaigns, it takes longer for prospects to read, and it takes up more space which may or may not be an issue depending on where you are advertising.
5. If you discover that you have made a typo or mistake in any of your statements you then need to go back and find all of the ads that are incorrect and fix them (if you can) sometimes editing them is not an option and if your prospect or affiliate discovers that something you said was untrue or incorrect you lose their trust.
