Have you ever not missed something because you never had it, but then you got it and wondered how you lived without it? That is what I think about the ECA tab. What a fantastic tool!

The new ECA tab is extremely important for affiliates, for ECAs, and for TripleClicks customers.

For affiliates:

* It highlights good quality ECAs we can connect with, and can promote their stores.

* It shows us how to grow our SFI income by referring ECAs with handy links to the following training and marketing materials within the SFI site:
- How to earn lifetime royalties referring ECAs
- Marketing Aids
- Marketing Methods
- Awesome Answers
- Discussions at the Forum

* It enables us to quickly find ECAs with products that we may wish to buy for ourselves or promote to others, based on the following search criteria:
- All ECAs in your country
- All ECAs in your region
- All ECAs in your country that accept MRP and TCredits as payment
- All ECAs in your region that accept MRP and TCredits as payment
- And ECAs that accept MRP and TCredits as payment

* Transfer buying and promoting products to others increases our Direct Commissions and also our VPs, increasing our rank and our shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool, and the ECA tab has made this much easier to do.

* Affiliates will receive an average of 30 extra FREE TCredits per month for clicking on the tab and visiting the store of the Featured ECA of the Day.

For ECAs:

I have rarely bought from the ECAs at TripleClicks, as I had, so far, focussed my purchasing on business-building tools from TC Direct. However, on the second day this tab, and the Featured ECA of the Day (FECAD), was implemented, my attention was drawn to the FECAD and I was delighted to find something I really needed, a gift for someone. So immediately, this tab has increased that ECAs sales.

I am sure the TCredit cost (20-100 TCredits) of becoming a FECAD will be worth it to ECAs.
You can find out more about how to become a Featured ECA of the Day in the SFI News blog here:
http://news.sfimg.com/2015/04/30/new-business-building-opportunity-for-ecas/

For TripleClicks customers:

Quote from the link above for ECAs:
"Important: We are interested in featuring ONLY ECAs that project professionalism in all aspects of their operation. Applications from ECAs that utilize poor images, typos or formatting errors, have below-average ratings, or that have unresolved customer complaints, etc. will be rejected."

These conditions applied to ECAs who wish to be featured will improve the professional image of TripleClicks and increase confidence of TripleClicks customers. Receiving a great customer experience will encourage customers to return to TripleClicks and increase repeat and additional sales.

I believe all of these benefits of the ECA tab combined will increase sales at TripleClicks, thereby increasing the TC Executive Pool, and the value of our VPs.

The ECA tab is a great addition to our Homepage.

I have now used it to introduce myself to new products and ECA's who are part of the SFI product line. So far the ECA's introduced are new to me which means I am now able to market newer products through my blog or other social media sites and not have to repeat the product showing.

ECA's will benefit as now the opportunity to share what is being offered will be up front and center thus has more visibility to affiliates and TripleClick Members.

The ECA tab - I think has been long over due and is a great addition to our resource line. I appreciate the fact that now my level of effort to search for products will be taken care of for me rather that I doing all the leg work to see what is offered through our TC store.

Great way to save time and to gain more knowledge of what is being offered in our international on-line store.

As a store owner, it is best to be able to speak to what products are available with confidence and knowledge rather than guessing. Our marketing and promoting of products and services is now based on shared knowledge - competent knowledge therefore we are able to present SFI with full confidence that our on-line store does in deed have a variety of products which are available world wide.

The ECA program is another tremendous opportunity to earn an income besides your SFI business. It’s a great idea to include an ECA tab in the affiliate center.

What is the importance of the new ECA tab?

- The ECA tab inclusion in affiliate’s To-Do Lists makes him/her aware of complementing the growth of his SFI business. Through the ECA program, he/she can create his/her own products/services to help affiliates in growing their business or any other products that offer lasting value to customers.

How are you going to use the ECA tab to help you grow your business?

- Earn 1 AVP each day when you checkout the featured ECA.

- As you explore the featured ECA products/services and find beneficial to your business, connect with this ECA.

- When you become a customer with this ECA, as you purchase products/services, the ECA will not only pay for the VP you’re going to earn but also boosts the TripleClicks Executive Pool.

- The ECA tab contains “Grow your SFI income by referring ECAs” section. This section provides you information through links on how to earn lifetime royalties referring ECAs, Marketing Aids, Marketing Methods, Awesome Answers and Discussions at the Forum. Learning, understanding and applying this information will catapult your SFI business.

- Learn about your ECAs in your countries and regions. Look for products/services that you purchase regularly every month. Purchasing these products /services every month will enable you to earn VP for maintaining your EA and for moving up to TL without additional cost. When you do transfer buying, the VP comes along for free, reduced shipping costs and faster delivery time. When every affiliate supports their local ECAs the word will spread further to businesses and merchants of all kinds worldwide and would want to get involved to have their products listed at TripleClicks, too.

- You’ll also find ECAs that accepts your MRPs in your country/region, which could save you on shipping costs. Or you have the option to look for products/services from “All ECAs that accept MRP” section, which you may not find from your country/region.

Hi Mary Bird
i've been brainstorming about the questions you just asked. I was excited about the new ECA tab because it gives one the bargaining power to recruit ECA referrals since most of them will be featured and that with their products to an audience of 3.5 million TripleClicks Affiliates and that gives more buying and connecting power.
To answer your first question, the importance of the ECA tab is to
1. Increase the awareness of each ECA in our countries and what they sell. This makes it a lot easier to purchase items from them that we would have bought from TripleClicks and which would have been on the high side due to shipping costs. Besides we will still earn vps from each purchase with little or no shipping fee for the same item.
2. It encourages transfer buying as explained above.
3. Most affiliates are not so interested as to connect with ECAs because they see no significance to them, but with the ECA tabs they are able to see these ECAs, like them and connect to them, thereby increasing their powerank and giving them credibility to sell, thus increasing the TripleClicks Executive Pool of which we all benefit from.
To answer your second question, how do i use it to grow my business? is to reschedule my ECA marketing strategy. Formerly i have been using the marketing muscle of 3.5 million affiliates in 1,800 sites in over 190 countries of the world to woo ECA prospects/ referrals. But with the new ECA tab, i got to tell my ECA prospects about the new addition that SFI has added to expand their business by SFI exposing their business through their ECA store to an audience of 3.5 million and its going to be featured for 24 hours and that for free. I don't think that any company can pull such an audience at once and all on these benefits on a free advertising site. This increases my ECA referrals, thus increasing my royalty payment, thus my income.

The e-Commerce Affiliate (ECA) program is a major part of our SFI business. It is the second component of the Tripleclicks store, besides Tripleclicks Direct. It is one of the prime income streams we have for earning commissions when we sell, to outside customers, products offered by ECAs. It is a source of sales revenues when we are ECAs ourselves and we list products.

We used to access to the ECA tab only through the Tripleclicks page. As such, it was somewhat hidden from the attention of most SFI affiliates who used to visit the Tripleclicks site only for a very short time without paying attention to all the opportunities of income, savings and business development.

Now, with the ECA red tab brought forth to the forefront of our attention, at the Affiliate Center, everyone of us has the opportunity to explore what the ECA department has to offer.

This is going to benefits us in many ways. I will summarise below some of the most striking benefits and how they are going to positively impact our efforts to build our teams and grow our businesses.

One very obvious benefit is the time savings and the reward of daily action VersaPoints (VP) we all need to qualify through the ranks. It is a welcome incentive to work with the ECAs more directly and more proactively to grow the Tripleclicks store worldwide.

The introduction of this ECA red tab is twinned with a major change of the corresponding Tripleclicks page. Everyday, we have one 'Featured ECA'. We are encouraged to thoroughly visit their page, get acquainted with their products. This gives us the opportunity to identify products for which we can find customers, make sales, earn commissions, help the ECA generate revenues, and help Tripleclicks grow.

We also have at our fingertips the list of the most highly rated ECAs. Hence, we are more confident in interacting with them as suppliers of both our personal needs and those of our customers. We can safely engage in sales of their listings, knowing that they will make every effort to keep our customers satisfied, because it is in their best interest in two different ways: (i) helping them keep and improve their ratings; (ii) generating income revenues and growing their own businesses.

We should also feel more confident in our "Buying Transfer". Everyone of us has buying habits: products and services they get for their daily needs. Instead of spending our hard earned dollars somewhere else, we have more incentives to use them with the Tripleclicks Direct and the ECAs. We save money. We enjoy high quality products and services. We get more Purchase/Sales VersaPoints (VP). We help our sponsors and co-sponsors earn commission. Everybody wins.

Now, every affiliate has additional reasons to be an ECA. Very few SFI affiliates take advantage of the opportunity to be an ECA. Although, it is easy to do. It has the advantage of expanding our potential income, making the SFI/Tripleclicks group our main business activity, and as we grow successful, the venture on which we spend most of our time and resources Thus, SFI becomes the most important source of our income as well as building our financial independence.

One last important aspect of the ECA program that has not been fully used is the referral of outside businesses to join Tripleclicks as ECA members. This referral has so many benefits. We earn 100 action VP for every ECA we bring in when they list their products. We are paid commissions on their sales as long as they remain Tripleclicks members. We get a badge when we reach a given amount of ECA referrals.

Just prior to the introduction of this ECA red tab, Tripleclicks made a significant overhaul of the ECA referral gateway. Now, it is much easier for an outsider to fill the ECA application and get approved. This makes our referral tasks much easier.

The new ECA Tab in the Affiliate Centre provides several opportunities. Firstly when visiting the tab, it provides information on the “Todays Featured ECA”

From here you can learn what this ECA has for sale. Bearing in mind that to become a Featured ECA, it costs many TCredits to have your store featured for 24 hours so you can be fairly safe in assuming that this ECA is reliable and honest and you can safely purchase items from them.

Clicking on the link to go to further information, earns you 1 Action VP to add to your daily tally and thus to grow your business.

A great innovation by Gery and his team to promote the ECAs. Now it is up to you to utilise the information given and support the featured stores by making a purchase from them.

This is an excellent question about the ECA tab. Use it to connect with top rated ECAs. Check out their products and if you find anything that suits your fancy buy it! You will be contributing valuable commissions volume to the executive pool and versa points to your monthly power rankings. The more VP you accumulate the more shares you get from the executive pool. The best benefit is the potential to create more commission volume by sharing their products on your social channels.

Remember, when you share products that you don't want to hard sell. You want to add value to the marketplace and show that value. I try to peak curiosity by adding a picture to my tweet and this will greatly improve the chance of a retweet which could mean more potential commissions for you and sales for the ECA.

The ECA tab give us the featured ECA of the day. SFI feature only ECA with good reputation. So, the question is how can we capitalized on these feature ECA's to grow our business?

Take note that our all our earnings from SFI are all coming form sales, directly and indirectly. One doubts of buying online is whether the seller can deliver the goods after we paid for it.

SFI is in away saying that this featured ECA's can deliver based on their history and approval rating.

So, there are at least three ways that the featured ECA from the ECA tab help us grow our business.

1. For us who needs to buy something to qualify for a rank it give us confidence to buy from these featured ECA's.

2. We can also endorse the list of featured ECA's to our affiliates and have the confidence that they will get what they paid for.

3. We can also sell the items from these ECA's directly to other websites like face book, instagram and so on.

I love this new tab - we earn another VP by visiting it every day - to start with.

The ECA's featured under this tab will be the best of the best. They have to spend T-credits to be featured - which means they have enough products of value to make it worth the investment.

They also have to meet the criteria set by SFI - they can not just buy their way into the spot. If you want to know more about the criteria you can find them in the news where the announcement was made

Knowing that these ECA's met the criteria and that they have enough confidence in their products to pay T-credits to have it featured gives me a sense of comfort. I can buy, market and advertise their shop and products with a high degree of confidence that I am promoting a reliable business and value for money products.

They will have a high customer rating - another reason to promote them. When I buy anything on the internet I am always aware of the possibility that I might be taken for a ride - so I always make sure it is a calculated risk - in other words I won't promote or buy from a company I can not verify before I make a purchase - with these ECA's you have a good chance of not getting ripped off and neither will the people you promote them to.

Lastly - they have the eyes of a very large audience on them - they are not likely to provide bad customer service or make shady sales.
