I believe both are great investments. The S-Builder Co-op helps you build your team. It guarantees PSA's each and every month. Sometimes you receive 6, sometimes 12 but every month new PSA's arrive in your inbox. But there again if you purchase TCredits they are good for everything else. They can be used to purchase items at the TripleClick store. They're good for playing games, bidding on the auctions, or even give them as prizes for your contest for your team members. Now that I said all of this I now think maybe the TCredits are the better investment. Because even though the PSA's are guaranteed they might never become active and that wouldn't help your team. So yes I think the better investment is the TCredits they are so versatile. Hope this helps a little.

As we know, S-Builder is a program for new Affiliates who have little or no experience, time, or knowledge of doing advertising globally. It gives Affiliates the ability to build a team to accelerate growth for their SFI business.

TCredits, on the other hand, are virtual currency use for transacting business within SFI.

TCredits and S-Builder go hand in hand, not an either/or investment, at least for new Affiliates.

With S-Builder one gets to build a team of affiliates necessary for leveraging and for stability,profitability, and longevity in SFI.

Unless one has a vast experience in organizing advertising campaigns and has the ability to organise, manage, and finance the complex activity involved in international advertising, then S-Builder is a better investment.

With TCredits, it may give one the ability to buy anything at TripleClicks store, give TCredits as rewards or incentives, play all the Eager Zebra games, bid at all the auctions and bid for PSA and CSA packages. It may be the better investment, but what if one has limited funds and struggling financially? As we know there are many Affiliates who struggle even to set up a Standing Order, or to go beyond EA as many are facing real financial hardship.

For this reason, it is wiser to invest both in TCredits and S-Builder Coop. With a minimum investment of $58.25 an affiliate will have both and can have a great start to building a dream business.if one is serious enough.

They are both good investments,

Tcredits can be used at TripleClicks to play EZ Games and bid in auctions. They can also be used to reward your affiliates for a job well done, and as a welcome gift for new affiliates joining.

S-Builder is the way to go to keep a steady flow of affiliates coming into your team, especially if you don't have a lot of time to spend advertising.

Use both TCredits and S-Builder they are both ways to keep your team growing.

If you invest money in S-Builder co op units, you have only one thing in mind that is recruiting PSAs and PRMs.

If you invest money in TCredits you can use it for a variety of things such as bidding at the auctions, playing games, purchase items at TripleClicks, down load songs and many more.... I think therein lies the danger of misdirection and misuse, because the TCredits are too versatile.

I don't know about other people but for me I tend to loose focus on what I want to do with the TCredits. I purchase TCredits with good intentions of using them to bid for such things as PSAs and CSAs. When I get knocked back because someone else is more aggressive at bidding or have more TCredits then me I tend to loose focus and spend time playing games using up the TCredits. I know they are not being wasted but they could be better utilized.

S Builders on the other hand, as I have already mention are only for recruiting purposes. The PSAs I receive build up my team and the PRMs I receive will hopefully purchase from TripleClicks and make me some money. Every PSA I get from S Builder is a potential Diamond Team Leader.

The S Builders are not as exciting as the TCredits but to me they are the better investment of the two.

The S-Builder Co-op is a sponsoring resource. Its purpose is to help us leverage SFI's advertising pool to grow our downline. It is the most cost effective and most practical way to start bringing new sign-ups in our teams.

Tcredits are a TripleClicks internal currency, an instrument of exchange to access the many products and services within TripleClicks. We use them to perform the essential parts of our daily activity as affiliates. Without them, we cannot bid on the Pricebenders auctions or play the Eager Zebra games, for example.

You can spend your Tcredits to bid on auctions for PSAs and CSAs. From this standpoint, they can achieve the same goal as the S-Builder Co-op. But the use of Tcredits is much wider.

Both Tcredits and S-Builder Co-op are indispensable to a serious SFI affiliate truly committed in growing their business. They are both excellent investments with direct impact on our business growth. One is hardly superior to the other. It does not serve a significant purpose to rank one above the other.

I hope not to have to choose between Tcredits and the S-Builder Co-op. They are not comparable. Missing one of them will make difficult to build and grow an SFI business.

It is important to understand the tools and resources we have available at SFIMG, so that we know how to fully benefit from them, avoid confusion, unrealistic expectations or make the mistake of using a tool or a resource for what it was not intended.

If an affiliate is limited in their ability to invest in both Tcredits and the S-Builder co-op, my advice would be to exhaust all the possibilities for earning free Tcredits. For instance, first, one can play the T-Time game as often as possible, every day. Second, to maximize the impact of their wins, one may want to target the auctions with DP MRPs and flash draws. Winning both additional TCredits and MRPs in those auctions will boost an affiliate's ability to increase their accounts of Tcredits, keeping in mind that MRPs can be exchanged for Tcredits.

The next step is to take advantage of free online advertising to sell Tcredits packages to penny auction bidders. This is one of the many ways to earn TripleClicks commissions and reinvest part of their earnings to grow their business.

As a result, one will avoid being faced with the dilemma of having to choose between Tcredits and the S-Builder Co-op because of lack of financial resources.

There are other ways to get Personally Sponsored Affiliates and TripleClicks members besides through S-Builder Co-op units.

Nothing other than TCredits can be used as follows:
- to bid on auctions
- to play games (although EZ Tokens may sometimes be used too)
- to list an item for sale
- to download a song
- to earn 1VP for use of each one on a game or auction
- to earn 5 MRP or 10 MRP for use of each one

That said, however, which of the two is the better investment?

A good investment is something that not only delivers a good financial return on investment, but that also saves one time.

Also,

- if two investments saved one the same amount of time and made one the same amount of money, the better investment would be the one that costs less.

With investments, there is often risk to consider too.

S-BUILDER CO-OP UNITS

5 S-Builder Co-op units will currently cost one $120.
This will give one 25 MRP and 1400 Sales VersaPoints.

What else does purchasing 5 S-Builder Co-op units do for one?
- eliminates or reduces the amount of time one needs to spend on marketing for new PSAs and PRMs
- eliminates or reduces the amount of (other) money one needs to spend on marketing for new PSAs and PRMs
- may likely generate about 15 to 45 PSAs and PRMs (total)
- indirectly provides an earnings potential - AVPs, SVPs and money
- may, however, result in very few or even no ACTIVE PSAs or PRMs (risk)

T-CREDITS

$120 spent on TCredits
Perhaps spent like this:
1 x 200 pack
2 x 50 pack
1 x 20 pack
1 x 10 pack
(currently costs $121.70)

This will give one 64 MRP and 3651 Sales VersaPoints - this is more than double the Sales VersaPoints for spending roughly the same amount of money on S-Builder Co-op units - BUT, of course, we don't have PSAs or PRMs - yet....

But what do we have (besides the 64 MRP and 3651 SVP)?

We have 330 TCredits. And what can we do with these 330 TCredits? We can:

- spend them all on Double MRP Auctions - and earn 3300 MRP for that
- spend them on auctions or games and earn at least 331 AVP for that
- (risk) try to win an auction - perhaps where the item is S-Builder Co-ops or PSAs or CSAs or TCredits
- (risk) try win prizes in games or in the Daily Crown - perhaps more MRP and TCredits
- (risk) try win TCredits in the TCredit flash drawings in auctions
- use the TCredits purchased (or extra TCredits possibly won from spending the TCredits) as well as use the MRP one earns for spending the TCredits, to purchase whatever one wants to - perhaps an S-Builder Co-op or two, some PSAs To Go, or more TCredits
- spend 300 TCredits on auctions and get to spin the Bid & Build 30 times - resulting in anything from 3 to 30 PSAs

"What's a better investment and why? TCredits or S-Builder Co-op?"

I want both TCredits and PSAs, so my choice is TCredits. Why? Besides getting more SVP for purchasing the TCredits, it is also easier to create a way to get PSAs by purchasing and using TCredits (and/or by using extra TCredits and MRP one earns or wins from using the TCredits) than it is to create a way to get TCredits by purchasing S-Builder Co-op units.

Hi Igor,
1. Both S-Builder & T-Credits are good investments to make in SFI.
2. The merits/advantages of each are enumerated below:-
A. S-Builder Co-op
a)The S-Builder Co-op ensures PSAs without struggle .This is perfect for anyone who has no time as well as do not know how to advertise for PSA's or PRM's. SFI does all the work on his/her behalf.
b) S-Builder- Co-op also allows one to be part of a co-operative advertising community where two or more people share the cost of advertising and the resulting benefits. Thus it’s very economical for team members to pool their dollars together to advertise then share in the resulting leads generated.
c) A purchase in SFI's international, multi-channel advertising co-op accelerates the path to success. .
d)One needs to simply plug in to S-Builder's global advertising co-op and within a few weeks he will start receiving signups.
e)Standing Order for S-Builder Co-op is a good investment. By this , you will get PSAs every month.. It is inexpensive and helps you to grow & develop a team

B. T-credits
T-Credits are a special TripleClicks currency that can be used: --
a) For playing Eager Zebra games, which can accumulate up to 200 action VPs per month.
b) For bidding on Pricebenders auctions - where one can score points to eventually build up PSAs on a gradual basis; accumulation limit is 500 action VPs per month.
c) For member listings and accumulate up to 50 action VPs monthly
d) For downloading music and accumulate up to 50 action VPs per month.
e) TCredits are like money in the sense that you can use them to buy what you want. Every T-Credit spent earns you 5MRP and sometimes (double) 10MRP! Not to mention all of the other mighty benefits of TCredits.
f) TCredits create commission volume.
g)Similarly, I would suggest a SO for 125 T-credits.

3.So, if I was asked to give my preference of investment (as an SFI Affiliate) - I will choose both-S-Builder and T-credits. This is my opinion. Hope you agree with it.

That’s it and hope this was useful to you!
Have a nice day.

This question is brought up often.

In my opinion, the better investment depends entirely
on your business strategy.

If your primary goals are to build PSAs for your self and
your active downline, then S-Builders are an excellent choice
to acquire higher quality sign ups. You should start off with at
least one unit monthly and increase it as your budget allows.
The higher quality PSA sign ups will work nicely with the SFI Co-op feature.

TCredits will better suit your active participation with your downline

(rewards) and the TripeClicks Store, Games, Music and Auctions.
They are great to have to make sure you collect 20 Versapoints daily to
obtain that 5th or 6th entry in the Daily Grand.
This is done by entering a few games or bidding on any auction that day.

I believe most active Team Leaders participate in both.

"What's a better investment and why? TCredits or S-Builder Co-op?"

Much better is to invest in TCredit than in S-Builder Co-op for several reasons, namely:

First, if at the end of the first month of missing credits can be bought several packages of 1 TCredit depending on how many points you are missing, and one TCredit when they buy is obtained VP 102 points.
Second, TCredit used for gaming and that you can win prizes such as CSA members, MRP points and others.
Third, TCredit used for participation in the auction where you can win prizes such as various products as well as packages of 100, 200, 300, 500 TCredit, then get a Standing Order for 3, 6 and 9 months, and many other valuable prizes.
Fourth and most important purchase packages of 125 TCredit get 1,500 VPpoena that need to assemble a month plus get 126 TCredit. Purchasing this package make Standing Order account if you want to quickly get to the point, but also to greater status.
A S-Builder Co-op can only build a team, and you can not do until you reach a certain status, and it can only help with the Standing Order.

I hope I have helped.

Hi Igor
The better investment lies with you. Whether you want an immediate result or a long term own.
My best suggestion would be to go for that can create the other in its process e.g you can't use an S builder co op to buy Tcredit, but you can use Tcredit or MRP to purchase an S builder. With just 160Tcredit or 4,564 MRP, you can purchase an S builder.
Tcredit would be the best because it has a multifaceted usage such as:
1. You can use Tcredit as a purchasing power like i explained above.
2. It can be used to play EZ games and earn free Tcredit when one wins. I've won up to over 150TC from games alone and as afforded me of requalification without investment.
3. It can be used to bid at a PB auction where one can win, resell and make more money in the process.
4. It can be exchanged for an MRP when used and the MRP can be accumulated to purchase items at TripleClicks as well e.g like the example i gave above. This reduces cost.
5. It can be used as a gift for hardworking downlines.
6. Via the PB auctions, the Tcredit can be used to build a team via the bid and build program. Team building is possible thus and the new recruits come in after a maximum of 5 days unlike the S builder that comes in after 3-4 weeks.
7. When Tcredit is used, action versa point is awarded as well which adds up to one's income and the Executive pool and one's rank.
8. It can be used to list and sell our fairly used items.
9. Used to download songs of the month.
10. Participate in the song of the month as an Artist with just 1 Tcredit.
Tcredits are unlimited in usage while S builder is limited in usage.
With the above facts, you'l realize which one is the better and why.
Good luck.
