Yes indeed! SFI primarily presents you with 6 options to earn & earn huge :

1. Direct Commissions - Each time one of your PSA's buy something from TripleClicks, you earn 45% of Commission Value(CV)
2. TripleClicks Executive Pool - Having maximum Versapoints(VP's) a month is crucial to earn big on this one. You need to be a Team Leader with multiple EA2's to mushroom your matching VP's.
3. Co-Sponsor commissions - Each time one of your CSA places an order with TC, you earn 15% of CV
4. Bonus Tcredits - Each month you get 10 T-credits if you were an EA the previous month, 12 if you were a BTL & so on...
5. ECA royalties - You earn 10% of CV of total earnings in a month of your referred ECA
6. Pay-Per-Action - Be an advertiser & get new enrollers(who won't be part of your downline). You'll earn per new enroller(conditions apply, of course)

Now, from my personal experience, the primary source of income remains the 1st 3 options. And for that, you need to duplicate & help your own PSA's & CSA's duplicate. TripleClicks is our store & it's thriving success is vital for every SFI affiliate.

Options number 1 & 3 are the easiest. Get your PSA's & CSA's to set up a Standing Order, encourage them to shop at TripleClicks for their day to day purchases(household items, cosmetics, electronics etc.)

For option number 2, you need to have exponential downline growth.

Option number 4 is an added bonus from SFI & Gery. Everyone likes free T-credits :)

Option number 5 & 6 remain the elusive options, but they could also be your best options. If you know a lot of merchants who would like to sell or advertise through SFI & TC, then you have hit the jackpot my friend.

Focus on one or all : That's your prerogative. If you are happy with what you are earning through steps 1 to 4 and are not running your SFI business full time, then it's fine. But if you do want to leave any territory uncharted when it comes to potential income, give your best shot to each option.

You will end up a winner.

Hello, Adair.

This is a very straightforward question.

SFI is a well thought business model designed to help its affiliates take full advantage of today's affiliate marketing potential worldwide. Each SFI branch can be viewed as a specific income stream: (i) we earn direct commissions from our PSAs; (ii) we have second home income through our CSAs; (iii) There are PRIM sales commissions, and (iv)SFIPPA. (v) We can also be e-Commerce Affiliates by opening our own stores, or (vi) just list few items in our Tconnect page. (vii) Another option is to sponsor e-Commerce Affiliates, and promote their products, be they products of the ECAs we invited or other ECAs.

All these potential sources of income are available to us to maximize our efforts and make the most of the opportunities to grow our business.

It would be short sightedness to limit oneself to only one of these opportunities or even to only two or three. With little bit more efforts, we can both sponsor affiliates while promoting e-Commerce activity and selling our own products.

Sponsoring Affiliates and teaching them duplication is vital to the SFI Business. A good combinations of sponsoring, sales of Tripleclicks products, promoting our own store or products and inviting businesses to join the e-Commerce, all these are complementary. They go hand in hand.

We should not neglect any one of them.
Focusing only on one or two of them would weaken our business and thwart our efforts even those on which we are putting emphasis.

Marketing, advertising and promoting all of them at the same time will strengthen our efforts, and give us higher returns on our investments in time and money.

Great Question, thanks for bringing it into thought, I'd say that totally depends on your ability, personal willingness, along with your determination to follow through with learning the various aspects, and putting what you have learned into full force action.

SFI definitely does provide access to multiple earning opportunities; in order to really be successful within SFI you must master the basics of duplication, in addition to being an effective team leader. Once you feel comfortable doing both of those, then you can tread into other areas you would like to further extend your earning capabilities. If you rush into something your not capable of handling, it sadly at times can lead to overwhelming failure. I have done this at times myself with rushing into activities I wasn't prepared to handle.

My suggestion would be to focus growing your Team, Learning the various aspects of the Affiliate Center, and being comfortable in teaching others how to go about in the interface. Duplicate your team, and teach them to do the same. Educate yourself on effective advertising, team leading, etc and practice what you learn in motivating your group. Do you have the time available to focus on just some, or All Earning opportunities within SFI, or are you only able to dedicate 20 minutes a day? When you feel comfortable enough, and confident in your ability to manage, teach, and actively recruit, you will know if and when you are ready to proceed with additional efforts.

Good Luck

Unless you are well established I would recommend that you stick with the 1st 3 earning streams. These are interlocked and you really cannot advance without focusing on them first. It would be unwise to focus on just one and ignore the other 2.

Other than what I have outlined below there are other income streams, as you are well aware but I would highly recommend that you focus on these and set up your business on a firm base. You can always have a look at the others at a later stage.

1. Accumulating VersaPoints. ** Earn as many VPs as you possibly can every month. The more you earn the higher your rank will be in SFI and the more benefits you will receive and the bigger your share will be in the big country wide TripleClicks Executive Pool. You only need to earn the minimum of 1500 VPs each month to share in the Executive Pool.

2. TripleClicks Sales.** Increase your earnings by generating sales at TripleClicks. Its your store and the more people that you refer to TripleClicks buy from it the more income you get. You only need to refer a person to TripleClicks once and every time they purchase something from TripleClicks, you receive 45% commission. Isn't that generous!!

3. Sponsoring & Duplication & Co-sponsoring. ** This is the key to generating a major and a residual income in SFI. The more affiliates you sponsor or co-sponsor into successfully duplicating the above two points to more income you will receive. This is because of the Matching VP system and also the commission sharing program. As the sponsoring affiliate you will benefit from the VPs earned by your downline of EA2 level or above. The VPs they earn is matched and added to yours, thereby increasing your share of the Executive Pool. Further to this, you will also share in the commission they earn via TripleClicks purchases.

You might also be interested in ECAs. This is another way of generating sales at TripleClicks. You earn lifetime royalties on CVs of all the sales of the companies that you refer to TripleClicks and who become ECAs. You can also become an ECA yourself.

One at a time until all are mastered.

You need to put what you learn into action and get good at promoting that end of the business then move on to a new challenge. If you don't have the funds for a Standing order you need to get good at referring TripleClicks sales to earn that money.

If you are good a Triple Clicks Sales and have your standing order you need to amplify your results and learn to refer other affiliates and teach them what you know.

If you want even more out of your business you need to start targeting potential ECA. Every ECA you refer could add $500 to $1000 a year or more to your earnings as our 2 million member online store reaches 10 million or more. WHen it grows to E-bay size 1 ECA could give you a years salary just in monthly royalties, the sky is the limit.

So learn that too.

Every piece of the puzzle you decide not to work is money you are leaving on the table for someone else to grab but you need to have focus and knowledge, so build a personal blog or website and start with one area of the business, get good at it and learn another and don't stop adding parts until you are earning from all aspects of your SFI / TripleClicks business.

As an individual business person, I can say right away that what you do is entirely up to you. Like the saying goes, “it is different strokes for different folks.” So it is in SFI. What is very gratifying in SFI is that it is designed to meet the needs of everyone. What you want and how you intend to go about getting it largely determines what you do in SFI. Can you believe that many affiliates are in SFI just for the fun of it while many others are very busy looking for money? Everything depends on what each affiliate wants.

Having said that, my advice to my team is that each affiliate should study the income opportunities against their personal capabilities then decide which to settle for among the following opportunities to make money. These are the most common and easiest to follow in the many SFI income opportunities.

1. Sponsoring and Duplication: The more active sign-ups you have as PSAs, the more money you make. You stand to earn up to 45% in sales commissions from the transactions of your PSAs. To benefit from this income opportunity, you must be very good in both Online and Offline advertising.

2. Accumulating VersaPoints: From your daily, weekly and monthly actions in addition to the sales you make, you can accumulate unlimited VersaPoints which earn you money. To benefit from this, you need to be very diligent in your SFI business.

3. TripleClicks sales: If you can generate sales at TripleClicks shop, you earn commissions on every sale you generate. This requires aggressive advertising both Online and Offline.

4. Becoming an E-commerce Associate, ECA: This way, you can display and sell your own goods to make profits in the normal course of business transactions. Very good and convincing advertising is needed here. Are you very good at that?

5. Sponsoring E-Commerce Associates, ECAs: This way, you can earn lifetime commissions from all the sales made in Tripleclicks by all the ECAs you sponsor. Good and very diligent advertising is needed here. Can you do that?

6. Co-sponsoring: If you can make the rank of Executive Affiliate, EA or above every month, SFI will allocate to you a number of Co-sponsored affiliates whose transactions can earn you up to 15% in commissions. Due diligence in your SFI business, keeping to the rules and taking the tips is required here. Do you have what it takes?

From the above, can you now determine what you can do and do very well? That will help your decision on which income opportunities to settle for.

These are the basic and most common earning windows in SFI which are available to ALL affiliates. Get involved and get kicking. Review your progress from time to time with a view to deciding which if not all of them best suits your requirements.

I do hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

Great question, and I guarantee you receive a wide variety of answers. Personally, I think you should support multiple earning opportunities, SFI is a business so you need to offer your 'clients' many products, services or opportunities. Think of SFI just like any other store on your local street, they don't just offer one product for sale, they have a whole shop full. It is all about getting prospective buyers into your 'store', and once they are in you need to have many products or services on offer, as not all customers are searching for exactly the same thing.

Your SFI 'store' has many items that you can promote, including becoming an SFI affiliate (from which you can earn commissions), a TripleClicks member, plus over 110,000 products that you can advertise in many, many ways.

I advertise all these, plus I have my own personal SFI-based website and Facebook Page, so I advertise those as ways of attracting potential customers to my gateways within SFI. And the beauty of SFI is that you don't need a big budget, you don't need to stock any products, all you need is a little time, a lot of enthusiasm and a desire to succeed. The rest will follow naturally!! Of course if you have a good budget, you can really explode your business to the world, but I would suggest getting grounded before you commit too much money.

So promote mu tiple opportunities, and once you have a customer in your 'store' you may find they buy more than one of your products or services.

Good luck

If you’re wondering how to discover your full potential of being an SFI affiliate and take advantage of the available multiple income streams, then you should write down your goal how to achieve it. Make a plan. Don’t do some or all of the SFI multiple income stream programs at the same time. You’ll get confuse.

Here’s what I suggest:

- First learn to grow your SFI business and get established. State your goals and write down your plan. Focus on building teams of Team Leaders. You’ll need time and financial investment. If you are short on your budget, you can start referring ECA to earn royalties. This will help you in your financial needs in your SFI business. You reap the rewards of maximizing your income with sponsoring and duplication. For some it may take 5, 10 or even 20 years to accomplish this goal.

- Join the ECA Program. This is another good source of income. Joining this program requires careful planning from complying with the ECA requirements, product creation or simply connecting with manufacturers and start selling their products at TripleClicks.

- Increase your earnings by generating sales at TripleClicks.com. Sponsoring PRM or simply advertising TC’s products will take some of your time. This is one of the reason why you should focus one income stream at a time. You’ll need time to learn.

- SFIPPA program is another source of supplemental income. You do advertising for SFI. This requires also a lot of work, so you need to take your time to learn and master it.

These are all great opportunity to earn multiple incomes. Could you imagine doing them all at the same time?

Hi -

DIVERSIFY - it is the way to succeed.

Just do NOT start ALL at once - find out which is the easiest and most comfortable method to you and start from there.

That might be just passing out SFI Cards or FLIERS locally - keep doing that and visit the TRAINING TAB on your home page.

Once you have the feeling for it, that's your first step.
The rest will follow almost automatically - what brought you to SFI?

Was it the chance to earn an income from home?
Was it the opportunity to save money on everyday products?
Was it the chance to win merchandise through the Penny Auctions... etc.

Build from that - and YES - use ALL earning opportunities made available to you -
But like I said at the beginning - start with the one which brought YOU to SFI.

Keep Growing at your pace...

To your success!
