No matter how broke you are, just making one 1,500vp sale a month will make you and EA. To do that, you will need to do some advertising. To that end this is my advice to you:

1) Find a product that you actually can get behind and promote. Do some. Find out the best keywords for that particular item.

2) Go to a site like Angelfire.com that will host a website for you for free. There are two reasons for building your own page. Firstly, search engines like Yahoo! will not list affiliate links in their search results unless it is a paid link. Secondly, you can personalize your page by picking the keywords that you optimize the page text for. Also, you can personalize or brand the page by making a personal recommendation for the item you are promoting.

3) Now you actively promote the page. There are a host of free methods that are effective. One of the most effective is building a blog and posting to it daily. Adding signature block containing a link to the end of each post allows your readers to go to your sales page. Since blogs are usually very highly listed in the Search Engines, this can bring a lot of visitors that actually chose to search for the keywords. Perhaps a bit less effective, but a good way to get eyes on your page and blog page is the use of traffic exchanges. Once you have a good number of readers, you probably won't want to spend the time surfing, but it will take a bit of time to get started, and this a good way to advertise the blog.

4) One final tool you can employ effectively is a RSS feed from your blog. Every blog can support the technology. That way, even people who don't visit your blog daily can read your posts.

Hi, I saw many answer that says, then you buy something for twenty dollars, and I think that was not your question, if you are broke means you can not invest money, true?

So, you need to invest time, and to sell as many products from TripleClicks as you can, you will do that posting free ads everywhere, thousands places available for that, Safe lists, Traffic exchange etc... When somebody buys something and she/he is not an affiliate, you will get Versa Points, and commission.. That is for sales points.

For actions points you need to find ECA's who will open store and list their products, and you will get 100 Versa points for each, plus commission if they sell something, isn't that great?

Plus all free Versa points we are gathering on VP Ledger, and you will be fine.

Don't forget to play games, T-time, it is fun and useful, Daily Grand Drawing rocks!

You are half way achieving your goal if you want it bad, and just now you need to work, work...and some more work.
Good luck.

Dear Tami,

If you really want - you will make it!
Broke? fine.
Option is there: if you have to sit all day in front of PC, sit and play for free TCredits awarded every hour.
While you are waiting for another hour...observe auctions....its easier if you concentrate on few - go for PTP contest.
The more Tcredits you have - more options are opening to you and use virtual currency very vise. Accumulated MRP's provide further purchasing power.
Ask if you are not sure. Forum is open 24/7 - don't neglect its power.
By getting people to buy something from Tripleclicks (60,000 items to choose from), you can get the points if the person buying isn't an affiliate PLUS you earn income.
Promote your SFI sign-up link url and also your TripleClicks page.
You can find them via 'Marketing' \ 'Sponsoring' for SFI and
'Marketing' \ 'Sales' for TripleClicks.
Google where you can advert for free, place at least 3 adverts per day. At least!
Getting new ECA's (100 VP after they list their first item)and helping any affiliates to become EA2 - 100 VP ( of course, higher ramk-hiher VP's).
And....advertising co-op for your team? Is it there? Its easy to set up, free and very handy for later on (100 VPs as well)

I guess this would be for an absolute 'broke' affiliate.

You have a wish, its 50% needed for success, if not even more. By sending this question to Ask SC you did A great thing towards achieving your goal.
So you will!

My best regards,

Hi Tami,

I salute you for your enthusiasm.

It is understandable that if we are broke, even 1 dollar is really valuable. Thus, to invest any amount of money at this point is out of question.

In this case, you need to divert to invest your time at the maximum.

It is similar when you work for a company. If you discover that your budget is insufficient for the month, you would request for an overtime or looking for a part time job. You need to sacrifice your time to earn more.

Thus, to achieve your EA status for this month, you really need to put extra effort and think creatively to earn your free VPs.

1. Noted that you are SFI member since 30 March 2013 but your badge shows NO Streak on your Daily VersaPoints. Your daily activities need to be improved. Please focus on your daily to-do list and weekly actions - a MUST without fail

2. From your badge, noted that you are an EA2 last month. Thus, you definitely earn 10 Tcredits this month. Please use it wisely by buying items beneficial to you that allows you to earn 25 VPs each for product rating/review.

3. Please really make full use of your time to read and do some research about SFI, about online business, about network marketing and any related topics in order for you to provide good answers to any questions in Ask SC. If you really put an effort, the answers you submitted might get highest, second or third most voted - up to 100 VPs up for grab for each answer.

4. Noted that you are an ECA yourself. Why not invite other 1-2 sellers to sign up as an ECA because for every approved ECA referral, you will earn 100 VPs.

5. If you have PSAs with 600 VPs or more, kindly reassign them to your active affiliates as an incentive. In return, you will earn 5 VPs for each reassignment.

6. Don't ever forget to monitor the progress and motivate your PSAs to ensure they reach their EA2 status. Duplication is very important for your success.

Toward the end of the month, please re-check your ScoreBoard tab on the balance points required to reach EA.

Here, the decision is YOURS to bridge the gap to complete the 1500 VPs to make EA.

We can only offer advise for you to invest small amount of money on Tcredit or other TC products. Are you willing to make small sacrifice to achieve your goal?

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. What you do now in SFI, you will gain from now till years to come.

Good Luck!

Hi Tami,

Don't despair, I have found myself in that positions more than once. You need to scrape your to do list from to to bottom and analyze it to maximise all VP's available, sometimes there are some "Intermediate Actions" you havent gotten around doing. Dont miss out on the Weekly and Daily actions and maximise those as well.

If you have previously bought TCredits and havent used them yet, then aply them to an auction you think you can win, TripleClicks has recently launched the Junior (Jr) auctions where only mebers with less than 10 Pricebenders Wins can bid, each bud you do will give you an extra VersaPoint. Or if you see the opportunity to bid on a Double MRP (Member Reward Point) auction, do it, with the MRP's ( as long as you have enough) you can buy more TCredits and/or other items such as IHABE membership and get you an extra month without any costs. Ultimately if you find yourself with no other option, then buy single TCredits until you achieve those 1500 VP's

When we are at the beginning of the business is where we will find the most dificulties. Thats why I always say to all my PSA's; "Educate yourself in the business, it will be the best investment you can do", and this applies to either overcoming problems, or going that extra mile to take us to the next level.

To overcome these situations my best advice is to find yourself one (or more, the more the merrier) ECA ( E-commerce Associate). You can make BIG comissions and sustain you business indefinitely. Obviously it isnt easy, but ask yourself, what things worth having come easy? Practically none. An ECA and TripleClicks PRM's will be you answer to sustainabillity and future massive profits, along with the growth of your own SFI team.

Wishing you success and see you at the top!

Dear Tami

I would like to thank you for this question. I hope my answer will be able to jolt you and several others into action.

You seem to have confidence in SFI and this is displayed by your desire to try and maintain EA status. This is a very good sign but your approach for maintaining EA status is wrong. We should be in SFI to generate income and buys the products not for the VersaPoints but because we like them or they are essential for our daily lives.

SFI stands for strong future International. Are you sure you will have a strong future if you continue with this approach of maintaining EA status just to save face or as a STATUS SYMBOL?

At the end of the day you should always ask yourself what have I achieved? Have I made the world a better place for me and others?

Affiliates should approach SFI as a business but if the independence SFI as given us is too much approach it as an EMPLOYMENT. Go to the GOALS TAB and set goals which are realistic and ensure you achieve them. This is the only way to be accountable to yourself and SFI.

The beauty of SFI is that it tries to empower all its affiliates to do the right thing always on their own free will which is difficult. There are 2 TABS that should have jolted you to action and provided you with answers at the beginning of this month.
1.TO DO LIST TAB
2.GOALS TAB

Theoretically and will accept any correction where I would be wrong.

Based on what I would describe as the SFI road map(TO DO LIST )
1.Log in daily and do the DAILY ACTION earn at least 10Vp daily for 30days to get a total of 300Vp for the month.
2.Submit a stream post for 1vp three times a week for four weeks to get a total of 12Vp for the month.
3.Get 35 points each week for a total of 140 points a month by doing the following:
-Reviewing your Tconnect page
-sending group support messages via the PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, or Genealogy Group Mailer
4.Under monthly Actions earn a total of 15Vp at the beginning of each month by.
-completing the SFI/Sponsor/Co-Sponsor ratings form
- setting your goals by the 10th

The above results in 467 versaPoints you still require 1033 vp to make it to EA status.

If we study the road map (TO DO LIST) at this point, we have the following options.
1 Bonus VP per each Pricebenders Auction bid 500/mo. maximum points
2 For each approved/activated ECA you refer to TripleClicks 100VP
3 For TripleClicks product reviews. -25vp
4 For TC Gift Card distribution 10 VP/card; 300 VP/mo. Maximum
5 For support of each personally sponsored EA2  100vp
6 For support of each personally sponsored  Bronze Team Leader 150vp
7 For support of each personally sponsored  Silver Team Leader 200vp
8 For support of each personally sponsored  Gold Team Leader 250vp
9 For support of each personally sponsored  Platinum Team Leader 300vp
10 For each affiliate you reassign to a team member  5Vp

If you are broke then option 1,3,4 are out.

List down the qualities you desire in an affiliate. examples below
1.One who is open to new ideas.
2.One who can sell that idea to others.
3.One who will recruit one partner and apply for a standing order immediately they become EA and be able to duplicate this same actions.
I suggest you give them the following TripleClicks (SO) options bearing in mind the following. A minimum of 1,500 VP/max. 2,000 VP from sales/purchases each month can be used towards Team Leader qualification.

1.IAHBE membership subscription at $32.95 or by standing order at $29.95 you will get 1500VP .
2.Tcredit pack at $42 or by standing order at $29 you will get 1200VP.
3.S-builder Co-op unit at $24 or by standing order at $22 you will get 280VP .
4. Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition at $35.8 or by standing order at $32.22 you will get 1500VP.
5. Super Antioxidant Formula at $8.95 or by standing order at $8.14 you will get 83VP.

Try as much as possible to mentor your recruits by assisting the to sign up to SFI and going through the GETTING STARTED ACTIONS,LAUNCHPAD and INTERMEDIATE ACTIONS.

Recruit your friend, relative, acquaintance or stranger in church, marketplace, auction and any other social gathering.

Depending on your effort you will accumulate the following VP as illustrated below

Team support matching Vp
SPONSOR PTL:

Recruit 1 PTL 300 6000


Recruit 2 GTL 250 4500

RecruitsRecruit 3 STL 200 3000


Recruit 4 BTL 150 1500

Recruit 5 EA 100

Cummulative VP 1000 15000

If you can follow this and ensure your recruits top up their standing orders with an extra 500VP you will have the following VP

1 Daily actions 300
2 Stream posts 12
3 Weekly actions 140
4 Monthly actions 15
5 Team support 1000
TOTAL 1467
balance 33 buy an E book or TC credit for $1
Sales 2000 and above
TOTAL VP
ACTION 1500 SALES 2000 and above
You asked for EA but I went ahead and showed you skills that can keep you at PTL perpetually please try and apply this.

An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous. Henry Ford

I am broke also so this is a great question as I struggle each month to stay an EA2.

We all struggle in today's economy and we are all trying to make ends meet but these are the simple ways to start earning VersaPoints.

I know that if you join Wave3 for a one-time fee of $1.95 plus shipping and handling this is a way to earn 5 TCredits for each month and 50 Member Reward Points(MRP). If you can join Wave3 and earn those then it will give you a chance to purchase items which will gain you monthly VersaPoints even if it is a $1 item such as an eBook. I first started out with eBooks and then promotional items and then placed my standing orders.

Other purchases which would help you grow your business and are low cost are printed materials and you can earn VersaPoints for those purchases. Such as X-Card #1 - 50 pack the cost is only $4.13 and you gain 50 VP and a purchase of TCredit Pak (10 TCredits) for $5.90 gives you 239 VersaPoints. The printed material is a gret way to tell everyone about SFI. You can use your TCredits to bid on PriceBender Auctions and make purchases also. You can find many low cost items at TripleClicks to aid in the promotion of your business while also earning the monthly VersaPoints to advance to and EA in no time.

Just check your monthly budget and if it means you have to do without one item for that month then do it because once you start earning then you can use those earnings to buy products from TripleClicks and set up standing orders for items like IAHBE, S Builder Co-op, TCredits and so much more.

I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps you succeed and we will see you at the top soon!

being EA is of big help so you could able to receive other points from SFI. please do consider the following:

1. login every day and click red tabs for 11 VP per day and you'll have 300VP at the end of the month.

2. join in the T-Time drawing everyday for 2TC. if you have lots of TC won, you can use it in the auction bidding. for every bid you make, you will get 5 MRP. then when you have 126 mRP, you can use it to purchase single TC and it gives you 102VP. for the number of MRP gathered in a month, depends upon the number you won from the daily drawing.

3. do not forget to do your intermediate actions

4. do get at least 5 PSA under you and let them do the same what you did every day.

5. do advertising regularly to any free sites.

6. do buying in the tripleclicks and make a standing order for more VP to complete your VP requirement for the month to be an executive Affiliate.

There is no problem becoming an EA during first month. But the problem is on the next months.

If you are broke here is my suggestion for you to maintaining your EA status.

1. Earn your daily, weekly and monthly VP.
2. Try to answer Ask SC
3. Always join Daily Grand.
4. Towards the end of the month you divide the number of VP you need to complete your 1500 VP by 102. This is the number of 1TC pack that you need to buy. Where will you get the money to buy? Here are my suggestions:

a. Sell some products from TripleClicks. The easiest product to sell are the food supplements and the deal of the day. TCredits are also good to sell to people who like joining penny bidding. Look for these people in forum and Face Book, just type penny bidding in the search bar and it will bring there.

b. Join PTC's that can earn you few dollars a months and put your money in Paypal and use it to buy from TripleClicks. Always buy the 1TC Pack because it has the highest VP value for your money.

c. If you win or earn 126 MRP buy 1TC that will give you 102VP.

My last word is do not neglect finding affiliates, because ultimately it's the one that will solve your problem. They are the ones who will give you income.

Many persons joining SFI probably drop out because they can't afford a 1500 VP Standing Order possessing the wrong assumption that they can't make money with SFI without being an EA with a 1500 VP Standing Order. The truth is we can make money with SFI without being an EA. We can make money from direct sales of TripleClicks products and services, we can make money by getting leads for SFI in the SFIPPA program and we can make money by sponsoring other SFI affiliates and ECA referrals.
I contend if right now you can't afford an EA qualifying 1500 VP Standing Order just do what you can by having a Standing Order of any amount for a product or service you like, need and can afford and teach others to do the same. In time you will qualify for EA and beyond. Being a faithful TripleClicks customer and sponsoring other faithful TripleClicks customers will make you an EA in time. SFI is a long term commitment that we can all make money with if we just stay the course even if we are not an EA at the present moment.
