To get answer to this question you should write down your own goals. Answer to specific question what do you try to achieve and what your focus is. Only when you do that you will understand what you should do.

If you are focused to auctions and winning them you should set SO with TCredits. Note that with enough TCredits and right strategy you can win S Builder units and IAHBE membership for several months for just around you will pay for one month.

If you are focused on team building you should invest in S Builder Co op units. But my opinion that this cant be treted as sure source of your affiliates because you can never be sure that you PSAs will work.

As an IAHBE member, you'll be part of a select group of home-business owners whose search for trusted, helpful, and timely business-building tools and advice is over. No more wasted time trying to make sense of the overwhelming number of so-called "helpful" offers, deals, and information. You'll get the latest information, advice, special offers, and tools you need right now, accessible online, anytime, day or night.

But the BEST solution is to bay all three items if your budget is allowing you that. Or combination of two of them TCredits and S Builder co op unit.

"Best" is a subjective viewpoint so many will give various answers and you will have to decide which you prefer. All have their good points and if you set and forget with a Standing Order (SO) then you will have secured the Executive Affiliate (EA) status that ensures you do not lose the Co-Sponsored Affiliates (CSAs) given to you because of your hard work in securing EA benefits.

Although, initially, we get 2 CSAs when we get to leadership status we get larger numbers of CSAs. A review of the benefit chart will inform that 1 share of second homed CSAs are allocated to Team leaders because an affiliate fails to keep their EA status. Even one month failure could mean a large number of CSAs being second-homed to another affiliate of Leadership rank. Although 1 share might not seem a large number it does in practise mean about 40+ CSAs are allocated per share. That is the motivation to keep working hard at our own business. I would not like to lose my 500+ CSAs.

Which is best? personally I learned a lot from joining IAHBE in my first months but moved my SO arrangements to TCredits and S Builder so I could recruit more and use TCredits in auctions more. It might not suit everyone to do what I do though but I like the hands on action of auctions while also knowing my recruitment is done for me in terms of initial signing up.

Consider the answers and decide which you might find works best for you and work hard to not only secure VP but also grow your business well.

To our success!

This question has no specific answers to the word 'BEST'. As individual we have different perspective of how we build our business, my method may be different from yours that is why the word 'BEST' should be removed as all the 3 items mentioned are best on their own depending on the user.

Bidders in auction will tell you TCredits is the best; affiliate who are just after duplication will tell you S-Builder is the best; marketers, ECAs and website owners will consider IAHBE as the best. So my point is all are best depending on the users and his/her intention. Let me use my self as example, I love bidding so I decided to choose TCredits as my Standing Order that does not mean TCredits is the best out of all Standing Order.

Because I make TCredits as Standing Order does not mean I don't Make direct purchase on S-Builder or IAHBE. In fact a good affiliate business person will choose from the following:

1. Set one of them as Standing Order that meet your requirement and subsequently at your convenient make direct purchase on the others as the need arises.
2. Set Two of them as Standing Order if your are financially strong, and consider the 3rd outright purchase when the need also arises.
4. Set all as Standing Order if you are financially strong.

Am sorry to disappoint you, to my understanding of SFI business, there is no BEST among all the 3 items you mentioned here. It all depend on your choice.

I’m sure that you can’t go wrong with any of those three. Each of them can be used to guarantee your EA rank plus 100 action VP for a 1500 VP standing order. Let’s consider one by one:

IAHBE membership:
1 It’s obviously a good source of knowledge but, in my opinion, if you’re a beginner, the training lessons and other tutoring materials provided by SFI are more than sufficient. I might consider ordering IAHBE membership only if I feel that I have mastered the sources provided herein and need to advance to a higher level;
2 There’s nothing you can do with IAHBE membership to further multiply the available funds, VPs, TCredits or team members. Yes, you acquire knowledge which can be used towards better advertising and more referrals, but there are no immediate and tangible effects.

S-BUILDER CO-OP:
1 I think that this is an excellent investment. The whole business revolves around attracting new affiliates, they are the most valuable asset, so anything that can bring you new team members is more than welcome.
2 It won’t bring you immediate results and there are no guarantees on the quantity and quality of new enrollments. But then, the other forms of advertising do not produce guaranteed results, either.

TCREDITS:
1 TCredits are definitely the most interesting, because there are so many things you can do to use them towards boosting your business! If you only think of the auctions and all the marvelous things you can bid for: PSAs, CSAs, S-Builder Co-Ops, IAHBE, more TCredits, and so on, and so on… And all the while, you keep earning action VPs from bidding and MRP! Then you can reuse the MRP to purchase something at TripleClicks, or to transform them into more TCredits and VP!
2 You can also use them as a reward to stimulate your team members, or to make purchases at TripleClicks, and much, much more.

So, my heart goes to TCredits, because if you have TCredits, you can use them also to get the other two! I have already set up a 125 TCredits SO, and I’m happy with it.

If you’re willing to invest more money, there is also a very good option of setting up a 100 TCredits SO + S-Builder Co-op SO + one of the paid advertising campaigns offered at TripleClicks store, to add up to 1500 VP SO.

Now it’s up to you to choose your favorite!

All three options are extremely valuable to help building your business.

IAHBE provides you with a wealth of information..
S-Builder is a excellent tool to help you build your downline.

125 TCredits is my choice though,as it's not just great value, but you can use the TCredits to bid on the auctions and gain valuable Action VP's - especially important for those who want to maintain BTL and above!

Also for every bid you receive 5MRPS or 10MRP'son DP auctions - these soon mount up then you can buy more T-Credits with them and bid again...

Amoung all the Popular standing order items I don't think that there is a best. It actually depends on you and how you want to forward your business.

The IAHBE is a business hub that has numerous ideas for all affiliates who want information on how to forward their business.

The S-Builder is a easy and cheap way to build your downline. SO if you a looking at having a big team then this would be your best option.

The TCredits are good for bidding on actions, buying different items from TripleClick which give you VersaPoints and helps you to have more action points therefore helping you reach the next level.

SO all the popular standing orders are the best it just depends on how you want to forward your business and what you want to do.

For me I buy all three.

Reading through the different answers I find that IAHBE get's much too high value.
This might be true for the USA.

The disadvantages outside the USA:
1) Most of the magazines & books will not be delivered
2) If they are delivered it takes to long & shipping is too expensive
3) There is not enough impact on local markets outside the USA.

My favorites are still 1) S-Builder & 2) TCredits:
1) You need to build your downline, but you can't relay that you will receive the same results every month.

2) You need to bid in PriceBender auctions to get your action VPs together for higher TL status. So buy TCredit packs to get them cheaper.

Combine both - don't focus on one.

This is an excellent question, but rather difficult to answer. Everyone has different desires/goals with SFI, different areas of expertise, and different interests in how to build their business.

In my opinion, all THREE options provide incredible value! It's simply a matter of what YOU are most interested in. Who can say which one is "BEST"?

I personally like TCredits. A 125 Standing Order costs $36.26 US and allows you to bid on auctions, give TCs to your down-line for accomplishments, and earns VPs every time you bid. Not to mention the fantastic prizes you can win! :)

IAHBE is also very popular and valuable, but you have to have the time to read and apply the vast amount of information that is provided.

S-Builder is great for building your organization. We all need to build our down-line so this is a "must have" unless you already have a successful advertising campaign in place.

I truly hope this helps.

I am thinking about set up Standing Order for 125 TC Credits. With this, I get 1500 VP and automatically confirm my EA rank. You can do the same.
After you buy 125 TCredits, you can participate in the auction and win IAHBE or S-Builder. or both.
For me that is the best way, It does not mean that TCredits is the best way for your Standing Order. I am sure you will choose your best way,But if you choose any of these three offers,you will not go wrong.
I hope this help.
Good luck :)

Dear Alma

ALL these standing orders are great and can help you achieve a specific objective. It all boils back to what you would like to accomplish whether short term or long term in your SFI business. I suggest you decide on what your monthly budget is going to be and come up with a good strategy to work with.

In addressing this question I think the word "Best and Why" depends from one individual to another.
What is your Objective for that particular month and what do you want to achieve through the IAHBE/S-Builder or TCredits?


IAHBE- Is an International Association of Home-Business Entrepreneurs
An organization that champions the home-business lifestyle and provides its members with a multitude of resources designed to achieve maximum home-business success.
You only need to spend $29 per month on standing order or $32.95 without to get access to this great multitude of resources. Purchasing the IAHBE on SO not only helps you save but also immediately gives you 1500 VP which qualifies you to become an EA(Executive Affiliate)

Here's more about what you get with an IAHBE subscription:

Free best-selling books that cover the home-business landscape from A to Z.
Access to the IAHBE Web Resources directory for home-business owners.
Motivational Thought of the Day
Exclusive home-business book and tool reviews.
Marketing aids for generating sales and profits.
Subscriptions to top business magazines(Inc., Entrepreneur, Wired)
EXCLUSIVE articles on today's home-business topics that matter to you
Audio seminars from top home-business entrepreneurs.
You get $1,000 in free business-building tools and resources,
Monthly software picks designed specifically for your home business plus much much more
So if you are looking at growing your knowledge base on Internet marketing while retaining your EA status at the same time look no further than IAHBE.

S-Builder
S-Builder is the new, international, multi-channel advertising co-op available to all SFI affiliates, giving us the ability to accelerate our path to success by purchasing shares.Units or shares of S-Builder cost as little as $22. That means that for just 72 cents a day, you can be building a residual income stream for you and your family. Indeed, S-Builder is one of most economical ways to build an online business ever!
The great benefit of this co-op is that it allows persons of even modest means to participate in large-scale advertising campaigns and share in the results without a significant investment. As compared to IAHBE the S-Builder only gives you 280 VP.
The S-builder costs $24 normal price and $22 on SO.
You can find more and everything about S-Builder and coops here:
https://www.sfimg.com/Support/index?category=26444&folder=42430

So if you have no time or experience in advertising but would like to GROW your business exponentially, the S-Builder is the way to go. Please kindly not that like with every other advertising out there there are no guarantees since it's a numbers game.

TCredits
By SFI's glossary definition, TCredits are units you purchase at TripleClicks.com and use to list and sell stuff you no longer need for cash at TripleClicks.
A special standing order of a 125 pak of TCredits costs $36.25 and $52.50 without at TripleClicks
You also get automatic 1500 VP and re-qualification as an EA. The SO helps you save lots of $$ monthly and that's a wise thing indeed.
As you already may know TCredits allow you to take FULL advantage of your TripleClicks member benefit

You can use TCredits for:

1.Bidding on Pricebenders™ Auctions,
2.For downloading TripleClicks Music
3.Listing your unwanted items for sale at TripleClicks.com and convert them into cash- one TCredit per listing
4.Redeem your TCredits on any of over 100,000 products at TripleClicks.
5.Use as rewards for hard-working affiliates in your team (transfer TCredits via your Genealogy).
6.Offer free TCredits to attract new TC members and earn lifetime commissions on their purchases.
7.Use as contest prizes on your Leadership Page.

So if you are looking to achieve your EA status, bid in the auctions, list Items, redeem products etc then TCredits is the way to go.

In Conclusion, like I previously stated. It all boils back to your Individual most pressing goal or objective for any given month. You could even purchase two SO's or three if you like. The choice is really up to you. Weigh the benefits,compare prices and match them with your goals and objectives and decide.
