Your Profile, Please

Setting up a new business is a time-consuming task—we know! With so much to think about and learn, it's easy to overlook some of the odd items here and there that are, nonetheless, vital to getting started right. (After all, that's why we've created this LaunchPad series for you!)

One easy task you DON'T want to overlook is completing your SFI AFFILIATE PROFILE. This brief questionnaire is absolutely necessary to create a personalized SFI Affiliate Center experience specifically suited to YOU, your experience, goals, support needs, and much more.

SFI system will use your profile answers to personalize the SFI Affiliate Center for you.

With your permission, we'll also add your profile answers to a special Affiliate Manager page so your sponsor can learn about you and how best to help you achieve your goals.

Take a moment RIGHT NOW and complete this important step toward setting up your SFI business. It will only take a few minutes to complete and will help you get the most from SFI:

IMPORTANT: Remember, all information you provide in your Affiliate Profile is kept 100% private. We will NEVER share SFI affiliate information with ANY third parties. Should you wish to share your profile information with your SFI Sponsor (via the Affiliate Manager page mentioned above) and/or other upline members, select those options on the last two questions of your affiliate profile.

Part - 11 Overnight success...NOT!

Today we're going to talk about having big goals...but REALISTIC goals. SFI holds tremendous potential for those who will apply themselves, but it's not going to happen overnight or without work. As the old saying goes, "the only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary."

We often hear from affiliates asking why they're not seeing a big commission check yet. But more times than not, the person asking hasn’t even been an affiliate for more than a few weeks and is only really beginning to even understand how the whole SFI system works. And frankly, even if the number was six months, it’s still much too early to be expecting a significant income stream to have developed.

We always say that if you’re not willing to give a business at least a year, don’t even bother getting involved. You must understand: It takes time to get to know all the nuances of a business. It takes time to get to know the products. It takes time to develop a game plan. It takes time to figure out what marketing activities will work best for you.

The fact is, anything worthwhile takes sustained effort. If that were not true, we'd all be the perfect weight, we'd all have perfect relationships, etc. It's the same thing with your own business. If you're thinking money's going to start pouring into your lap next month, you’ve set yourself up for failure.

But let’s look at some real examples and see if we can put some perspective on this. Let's start with SFI's own president and founder, Gery Carson. Gery explains:

"My success as a entrepreneur and business leader is widely known today. Yet what most people don’t know is that I LOST money my first two years. I only broke even in my third year. And it was only when I got to my fourth year did I finally start seeing profits. Oh, how I wish someone had invented an SFI for me back in the mid-80's when I was starting out! ; - )

So was all that effort worth it? ABSOLUTELY! Because I persisted, today I live a dream life, I have my dream home, drive my dream car, and I get to lead one of the most exciting Internet companies in the world. Yes, because I stuck with it, I am today truly blessed beyond my wildest dreams."

But let’s go farther. Let’s look at some of the actual home business superstars we've interviewed and featured on our Website in the past:

ROBERT BLACKMAN now earns as much as $85,000 per month. Yet it took Robert two years to see his first four-figure check ($1,000 or more), and it took him five years to see his first five-figure check ($10,000 or more).

CHARLES LESLIE’s monthly income exceeds $12,000 a month. It took Charles five months to see his first $1,000 check, and three and a half years to see his first $10,000 check.

TRACY DIETERICH earns $36,000+ monthly. But it took six months to hit that first $1,000, and a year to get to $10,000.

DALE CALVERT makes so much more than $100,000 a year that he won’t even divulge the amount. Yet Dale worked four months before seeing that first four-figure commission check...and two full years before hitting five figures.

DR. JOE RUBINO now cruises at over $62,000 each month. But that first $1,000 check took two months, the first $10,000 check, one year.

ROBERT BUTWIN drops $80,000 or more into his bank account each month. But would you believe that first $1,000 check took two years to reach, and a full FIVE years for Robert to reach the first $10,000 check? It’s true!

DAVID A. NELSON clears $40,000 in a month. But reaching that first $1,000 check took 18 months. Reaching the five-figure check took two years.

TONY KENT has exceeded $90,000 in monthly earnings. But exceeding $1,000 took Tony one year...and a year and a half to exceed $10,000.

In other words, even the most dynamic, highest-earning entrepreneurs took MONTHS to begin seeing an income of any real significance. And the real wealth, the $100,000+ income we all strive for, took an average of almost THREE YEARS to achieve!

Do you think ANY of these gentlemen don’t think the ends justified the means? Do you think for an instant that the months and years invested hasn’t been rewarded a thousand times over at least? You don't even have to think about it, do you?

If we told you that after two to three years of following our system, you could be making more in a month than you now make in a year, could you handle that? This is a genuine and realistic goal. But when you say you want to quit your job in six months and live off the income from your new business, well, that's just not realistic.

Not what you wanted to hear, right? But is what we're suggesting so tough to swallow? Of course not.

Can you think of any other endeavor where you could invest just five to 10 hours a week for a couple years and at the end of that time have that turned into a $3,000 to $10,000 residual monthly income stream? Money that keeps coming in month after month, year after year. Money that keeps coming in whether you work 10 hours a day or two. A commission check waiting for you in your mailbox when you return from yet another vacation. Money that when you’ve left this planet continues to provide for your spouse, children, or grandchildren.

Sounds extremely nice, doesn’t it? But again, these are likely not things you’re going to see in your first year. It's just not going to happen. Some of you—the go-getters—you WILL see it happen in your second year. For most of you, however, you need to be thinking two to five years. And you know what? When you get there, we guarantee you, you’ll say it was nothing!

BOTTOM LINE: We reap what we sow, but the harvest is never in the same season as the planting! Today you are planting...and will be at least for the next several months. Your harvest will come in time. Be persistent. Be patient. Work the Web using our proven SFI system. Think long term. Take action every day, (no matter how small) to build your business. And always remember, THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO QUIT.

Part - 10 Frequently Asked Questions

Over the past 10 days, we've been throwing a lot of topics at you. You've learned about TripleClicks, EyeEarn, and the importance of referring customers and sponsoring affiliates. Hopefully, we've done a good job in presenting these topics to you and you've got a good understanding of everything so far.

• How much money can I make?

• What are the costs involved in starting and operating an SFI business?

• How does SFI compare to similar businesses?

• What kind of products does SFI have?

For this, we've created a number of "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions) lists. Here are some of the key FAQs we encourage you to review at this time:

Getting Started FAQs

Commissions/Getting Paid FAQs

TripleClicks FAQs

EyeEarn FAQs

If you've tackled these above topics and are ready for even more FAQs, you can see our entire FAQ index HERE.

And, of course, if you still have questions, our Affiliate Support Line is always at your service...HERE.

Part - 9 Keep an "eye" on your business

If you want to build a successful business with SFI, you'll definitely want to consider participating in EyeEarn.

What is it? EyeEarn is SFI's international advertising co-op. And what it does is help you refer TripleClicks customers and sponsor SFI affiliates.

EyeEarn's basic concept is for you to become part of our "personal advertising network," and get paid for advertising while just going about your day—driving your car, walking your dog, wearing T-shirts, or even just drinking coffee! Get seen–get paid!

Getting started with EyeEarn is super-easy: Just purchase a $20 EyeEarn Starter Kit. The kit includes three EyeEarn banners for your car(s), one bumper sticker, an EyeEarn T-shirt, 100 EyeEarn X-Cards, and 20 EyeEarn mini-stickers (plus complete directions and a Getting Started Guide).

Simply verify with SFI that you've outfitted your car with a banner. You'll then begin receiving a share of the fruits of the entire, worldwide EyeEarn advertising network!

EyeEarn is one of the largest global advertising co-ops ever created. Already, thousands of people are participating all over the world (check out our gallery HERE). In time, we expect MILLIONS to join the network! In other words, as an EyeEarn participant you benefit not only from your own, personal promotions but also from the efforts of EVERYONE ELSE in the network—from EVERY EyeEarner in the world!

Once you've activated your EyeEarn account, you'll begin receiving two valuable benefits:

1. TRIPLECLICKS.COM CUSTOMERS

In return for helping us tell the world about TripleClicks (via EyeEarn), you'll be credited as the Referrer on a portion of new, incoming TripleClicks customers. For this, you'll earn 20% to 72% Customer Commissions on every purchase made by your referred customers...for life!**

2. "EYEEARNERS"

EyeEarners are people who've checked out the EyeEarn/SFI opportunity and have chosen to sign up as SFI affiliates to promote it. As an SFI affiliate yourself, you'll be credited as the Sponsor on a portion of new, incoming affiliates. For this, you'll earn up to 40% Affiliate Overrides on every purchase made by your affiliates—for life!**—and also have the opportunity to activate several other income streams! See SFI Compensation Plan for more information.

And these enrollments won't be coming just from the personal advertising of EyeEarn members. Three additional sources will be generating thousands of enrollments weekly:

• Prominent promotions at Tripleclicks.com and TuneFlow.com.

• All enrollments from ClickBucks flow into EyeEarn.

• We'll be employing banners on other Websites. We may also create radio and Cable TV spots to generate even more enrollments.

As an active* member of EyeEarn, you will receive a share of ALL these enrollments every month. And your only out-of-pocket cost is the ONE-TIME $20 Starter Kit cost!

EXTRA SHARES PROGRAM

So what could be better than receiving a share of EyeEarn every month? How about two shares? Or three...or even more?! We've made it easy for everyone to earn more than just one share. Click HERE to learn how you can increase your EyeEarn enrollments and earnings further with free extra shares.

EYEEARN DIRECT

You've seen how the EyeEarn Co-op works. Now here's how EyeEarn can be a powerful DIRECT recruiting system for you as well.

As noted earlier, the EyeEarn Starter Kit comes with 100 EyeEarn X-Cards (and you can order extras HERE). X-Cards are one of the best recruiting tools because they can be used in so many different ways. Click HERE for a list of ideas.

In addition to X-Cards, you have many other EyeEarn Direct tools to recruit with, too, including:

1. Your EyeEarn Gateway Website

2. EyeEarn E-Cards.

3. A variety of EyeEarn banners and text ads you can use on the Web.

4. EyeEarn postcards for direct mail campaigns.

5. Printer-ready EyeEarn flyers.

All of above items use your SFI ID number so you can directly enroll any signups you generate. Go HERE for more information and/or to order.

Also available at www.cafepress.com/eyeearn are a wide variety of EyeEarn hats, mugs, buttons, mousepads, and other gear you can use as conversation starters (use these items to generate inquiries, then "close the sale" by handing the prospect an EyeEarn X-Card stamped with your SFI ID number).

CUSTOM DOMAIN PROGRAM

For those who'd like to get really serious about recruiting with EyeEarn, you can get a custom EyeEarn domain featuring your name or other keyword(s). The EyeEarn Custom Domain program opens the door to a wide variety of other marketing/advertising options.

You can have your custom domain printed on thousands of differerent promotional items (pens, keychains, magnets, calendars, mugs, mousepads, etc.) that you can use as free giveaways. You can get customized, magnetic car signs, full-color postcards, X-Cards, fliers, posters, and more.

Part - 8 Hello, TripleClicks!

Meet TripleClicks.

Actually, we're sure you've already met the newest division of SFI, but there's much about TripleClicks (TC) you need to know, which we'll discuss today.

For starters, you may not be aware that TC just launched on January 5th, 2009. In fact, because it's still so new, TC will have additional features debut for the next several coming months.

We're also just getting started with the products. We launched TC with more than 6,000 products, but this is just the beginning. We've now grown to more than 10,000 products on sale and expect to have tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of products in place within one to two years. Plus, thanks to the TC Private Seller Program (more on this in a moment), new products are being added daily, including collectibles, and hard-to-find items available nowhere else.

You'll also be interested to know that because of how we built TC, virtually any type of product or service can be added, including downloadable software and media (e.g. music, audio, or video). The sky's the limit!

TC is a state-of-the-art Internet store site featuring numerous amenities including:

• Express Checkout

• WishLists

• Online order/shipment tracking

• An exclusive, money-saving daily deal ("Deal Of The Day")

• Advanced search features

• Special weekly/monthly sales

• Standing Orders (your customers can set up orders to have consumable products shipped to them monthly automatically, meaning monthly commissions for you)

• One-click sitewide currency conversions for 17 major world currencies.

• 35 major langauge translations

• More than 50 payment options

• and much more!

With all these powerful features, TC provides SFI affiliates with a world-class instrument for generating Internet income.

Here's how to get started making sales:

First, it is important to first determine whether you are ready for beginner or more advanced marketing techniques.

For most SFI affiliates, we recommend you start with beginner strategies. With these strategies, you'll focus on simply building a customer list and not on promoting any individual products or groups of products. The idea is to build a list of customers and let those customers discover the products they wish to purchase.

This is substantially easier than trying to directly sell products. Plus, we have a wide variety of methods and marketing aids available for you for building customer lists that you can put into action immediately. Click HERE to browse these methods and marketing aids.

Note: If you have the experience to sell products (or promote product departments) directly and are ready to jump into advanced techniques now, go HERE.

The TC Private Seller Program

Another component of TC you need to know about is the TC Private Seller Program, which allows you to sell your stuff right alongside TC's other products and services.

With the Private Seller Program you can quickly, easily, and cheaply convert stuff you no longer want...into stuff you do! List your stuff at TC, and sell for cash....or for any product in the store. You can even earn SFI Executive benefits status each month selling unwanted items around your house! Use TC as your online garage sale to clean out your closets, attics, and garages! List and sell dozens or even hundreds of miscellaneous items easily.

To get started, simply log in at http://www.tripleclicks.com/10815996 (using your SFI ID and password) and click on the "Sell Your Stuff" button.

The TC Free Listing Program

People are always looking for easy ways to put some money in their pocket. And people also usually have items they no longer need or want. Children outgrow perfectly good toys. Teenagers outgrow perfectly good clothes. Adults outgrow perfectly good golf clubs. :-) Indeed, millions of perfectly good products of all kinds are outgrown, abandoned, and retired every day!

These items almost always wind up in closets, attics, and garages, taking up valuable space while (usually) fading in value as they sit. But with the TC Private Seller Program, this "clutter" can be converted into cash–quickly...simply...easily.

And the timing couldn't be better. With the huge downturn in the global economy, especially in the United States, demand for this type of service is skyrocketing. Indeed, We've learned that pawn shops are doing record business right now. Now YOU can tap into this same vein and earn great commissions.

Here's how: We've created a special program that allows you to give away free sample listings at TC. And we've made it incredibly easy to participate. We've got X-Cards, E-Cards, Postcards, text ads, tabbed fliers, and over 40 awesome banners for you to use, all offering a free, complementary listing at TC!

All you have to do is get these cards, fliers, banners, etc. in front of people using the methods listed HERE.

The Free Listing Program allows you to give out free sample listings at TC. There's no need to learn details about any specific TC products. No need to sweat over which product or products to promote. We've made building a customer list as easy as handing out X-Cards, putting up fliers, or running free classified ads!

Once your prospect has entered their free listing, you've just locked them in as one of your personally referred customers. And once they see how easy it is to list and sell their unwanted items, well, guess what? They're going to want to buy credits and list lots of other items they want to sell for cash or other products. And, of course, for every credit they buy, you earn valuable, commission-boosting VersaPoints!

In fact, you can earn Executive status for yourself if your customers buy just 10 single credits... or five 12-packs of credits...or just two 50-pack of credits.

But that's not all. Many of your customers may become frequent shoppers and buyers at TC. And when they buy products, you'll earn VersaPoints and commissions just the same as if it were a standard customer sale.

To order your TC Free Listing X-Cards, postcards, etc., just log in at http://www.tripleclicks.com/10815996 (using your SFI ID and password) and go to the "Business" department. Or, you can get hooked up with other great Free Listing promotional methods and marketing aids HERE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In conjunction with the Free Listing Program, we're making FREE credits available to you to give away to your prospects. You heard right: We'll even provide the credits for FREE that you can give away to attract customers! However, please make sure you read these RULES FOR PARTICIPATION.

You may also like to read the TC FAQs we've posted HERE which covers many other details and aspects of TripleClicks.

One last thing: There are still a number of substantial features yet to come at TripleClicks. One of the biggest is our plan to also give commercial sellers a place at the table. That is, commercial sellers will be able to sell their goods and services right alongside everything else in TC. Imagine how many products will be available at TC when this is in place! And, of course, there will be VersaPoints and CV attached to all of these products. Not only that, as an affiliate, you'll have the opportunity to earn royalties on every product sold by commercial sellers that you would refer to SFI.

Add up all the above and you can see why TC represents one of the biggest opportunities ever made available for e-commerce profits!

Part - 7 Co-Sponsorships

Today we're going to talk about a special SFI bonus that you're currently eligible for called Co-Sponsorships.

In fact, during the last several days, you should have received e-mail notices of at least six Co-Sponsorships that have been assigned to you. There should be more to come, but we want to make sure that you are receiving these notices and you understand their value before it's too late.

For up to your first 30 days in SFI, SFI assigns you as the Co-Sponsor on a number of newly-joined SFI affiliates. See the Global Growth Report for a listing of these affiliates.

As an affiliate's Co-Sponsor, you can immediately begin earning up to 24% CV commissions on all their purchases (plus an additional 4% to 8% on all their sales)! This benefit can also continue monthly! For commission details, see the SFI Compensation Plan.

Why does SFI do this?

Very simply, we want to help you get off to a great start! We succeed ONLY if our affiliates succeed. By assigning you these affiliates, you have a nucleus for your new business that you can immediately begin profiting from, and a foundation that you can build upon.

Of course, we can't just give away such valuable assets to just anyone. Hence, to secure your Co-Sponsorships, we require that you generate at least 1500 points by the end of your 15th day in SFI. This shows us that you are serious about success with SFI. It tells us that you're a "go-getter"...and we LOVE rewarding our go-getters!

Once you have secured your assigned co-sponsorship affiliates, they will immediately appear on your Genealogy (color-coded green). Your Genealogy also contains contact information so that you may begin communicating with them if you'd like.

Will it take a little effort to generate those 1500 points? Yes, of course, but it's very doable and no purchase is required. Plus, you'll at the same time be positioning yourself for a top tier Power Ranking which can win you up to $1500 (US) in the LaunchPad Rewards Cash Drawing! See LaunchPad Rewards for more information.

By the way, to make sure you don't miss your deadline for your Co-Sponsorships, you've probably noticed the countdown clock located in the sidebar and also at the SFI Affiliate Center. Be sure to keep an eye on this clock and don't wait too long to start producing the points you need. Once the 15-day deadline has passed, this bonus is permanently forfeited!

For a complete listing of the actions you can do to earn the points you need to secure your Co-Sponsorships, see your To-Do List on your SFI Homepage.

Part - 6 "Central to your success"

As you become more familiar with your new SFI business, you'll see that a constant theme is our encouragement to take some form of action every day. Why? Because if you're doing this, you'll be moving your business forward, slowly but surely, gaining momentum, step by step. And this will, of course, eventually result in some very good things for you...such as a large commission check every month.

One of those "must-do-daily" items is visiting the SFI web site www.quickinfo247.com/10815996/FREE.

Visiting the Affiliate Center is, well...central to your success with SFI. By visiting every day, you'll get access to our valuable, personalized, step-by-step assistance; the latest news; timely tips; and training to build your new business, plus important alerts, notifications, and messages from SFI corporate and upline leaders. You'll also earn two VersaPoints for each visit (maximum 180 points).

The Affiliate Center is also where you'll find your individual account information, business reports, Glossary, Compensation Plan, FAQs, and literally hundreds of marketing aids, tools, and resources to power your business...and much more!

When you have some time, go through each of the items on the main menu bar (the black bar that runs across the top of almost every page at the Affiliate Center). Click the "R&S," the "Training" and "Reference" links, and all the others, too. EACH of these links will take you to an index of many, many valuable and useful tools, aids, and resources. Familiarize yourself with these items so you know where they're available when you need them.

Part - 5 "Borderless" is beautiful!

Did you know that by mid-2008, the worldwide number of Internet users had grown to more than 1.46 BILLION people, with the total amount spent online estimated to grow to $263 billion by 2010 from just $170 billion last year!?

And while the U.S leads the pack as of July '08 for the percentage of its population online (73.6%), the United States constitutes only 17% (and shrinking) of Web surfers worldwide.

Where the major growth is occurring is in the world's most populous countries, such as China, India, Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. In fact, the Asian continent ranks first worldwide for the number of Internet users—578 MILLION and growing. And they're just getting started!

Then there's Africa and the Middle East that since 2000 have witnessed what can only be described as a phenomenal increase of online users: a cumulative, eight-year 1,031% and 1,177% growth rate, respectively!

Why is all this important? Because in joining SFI, you've just joined the most global-minded business there is. Put another way, you're now positioned to profit from the largest market EVER. EVER!

The fact is, SFI was built, from the ground up, to go everywhere and anywhere the Internet goes. And "borderless" is beautiful.

Lots of businesses allow you to market in your own country and perhaps a few others countries, but only SFI with its EyeEarn and TripleClicks subdivisions puts you in over 190 countries and gives you instant access to a marketplace of BILLIONS of consumers.

But SFI gives you much more than just access. Unlike a few companies that have tried to copy us, SFI is actually working and generating income for people all over the world.

Check out our daily Global Growth Report. Look at today's enrollments and where they come from. Every day, hundreds of people from countries scattered across the globe become SFI affiliates and TripleClicks customers!

Now look at the Top Sponsors/Referrer's list (located in the top right corner of the Global Growth Report). Affiliates from countries all over world dominate this top 10 list every day.

In huge populous countries like India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, and China, SFI is exploding with growth! And yet we've only begun to scratch the surface! And what a MASSIVE opportunity this is for you.

Think about the spectacular economic growth occurring in India and China right now. Imagine sponsoring just a handful of strong, motivated individuals in these countries and how many THOUSANDS of affiliates and customers they could bring in with your help, and how many thousands of dollars in monthly override commissions could someday be yours!

It's a fact. When you go SFI, your opportunity is literally as big as the world.

Part - 4 Marketing = Money

By now, you've probably got some idea about what kind of marketing you'll be doing with SFI, but we'd like to break it down a bit more because it's such an important element of your new business. Indeed, it's the marketing you'll be doing that's going to generate the money you'll be depositing in your bank account!

First, let's look at what we know. We know that:

A. You're going to want to refer TripleClicks (TC) customers.

B. You're going to want to sponsor affiliates.

You can do these activities one at a time, or you can do both at the same time, but you'll ultimately want to become a "master marketer" in both.

Now, you might think that mastering something you probably know little about is pretty far-fetched, but it's really not. We have thousands of SFI affiliates of all ages and backgrounds who started just like you—people who didn't know the first thing about marketing but who now can generate enrollments and sales with two arms tied behind their backs, so to speak. YOU can become just as proficient. All you have to do is get started and keep working at it.

So how do you get started? Well, thanks to SFI's amazing system, you can actually be on your way with your first marketing campaign—indeed campaigns!—in less than 30 minutes!

Here's how:

1. Go to SFI "R" (Referral) Methods page

2. Note the methods highlighted with a yellow background. These are methods that are free and can be put into action within minutes.

3. Put one or more of the methods into action...right now!

4. Next, go to the "S" (Sponsoring) Methods page

5. Again, note the yellow highlighted methods

6. Put one or more of these methods into action now

Congratulations! You've just put marketing campaigns for both referring TC customers and sponsoring SFI affiliates into action.

Now you can sit back and wait for the commissions to start rolling in, right?

Sorry, but nothing worthwhile is ever THAT easy! To start seeing serious income, you'll have to employ other marketing methods as well.

But let's not discount what you just did either! As covered in a previous issue of LaunchPad, getting started is the key. Once you've gotten started, you've overcome the "inertia" that keeps most people stuck in dead-end lives, and that's BIG.

Speaking of big, here's a good way to think about your marketing:

Just as a small fire produces little heat, small efforts will produce small results. So, give yourself a little reward for lighting the fire today. But tomorrow, make plans to move your marketing up to the next level.

There are SO many methods available to you—everything from X-Cards...to postcards...to banners...and more. Build a BIG fire, build a BIG income!

Are you on the "Anti-Wealth" Plan?

Though painful to say, most people go through their entire lives on what we call the "Anti-Wealth" Plan. Others call it the "40/40/40 Plan." That is, work 40 hours a week for someone for 40 years and retire with $40 in the bank!

That's somewhat of an exaggeration, of course, but the U.S. Social Security Board, for example, has reported that 85 out of 100 Americans won't possess as much as $500 in savings by age 65. And only 2% will be self-sustaining; the rest will be dependent on family, church, or the government!

The main problem with a typical job is that when YOU stop, the money stops.

MAKE SURE you understand this: If you ever want to acquire real wealth, you're just not going to get there trading hours for money.

The world's wealthiest people have known for hundreds of years that if you want financial freedom, you MUST tap into at least one of the following:

1. RESIDUAL INCOME

2. LEVERAGED INCOME

Residual Income is income that keeps coming in month after month, year after year, from work you do just ONCE. It's like a royalty. An example would be writing a book or recording a song and getting paid forever on it. Wouldn't it be absolutely awesome to have that?! Well, with SFI you can!

Leveraged Income is earning money through other people's efforts. There are only 24 hours in a day. Hence, there's only so much you can earn through your own efforts. But with SFI, you can earn Leveraged Income (in the form of "override" commissions) when affiliates you've sponsored in SFI make sales.

Earn even more Leveraged Income when they sponsor other affiliates and refer TripleClicks customers...and when your affiliates’ affiliates sponsor affiliates and refer customers...and so on.

The fact is, by simply sponsoring a few good, active SFI affiliates, you can eventually have hundreds or even THOUSANDS of affiliates and customers putting money in your pocket from around the world...around the clock!

But that's not even the best part. Each affiliate on your sales team has his or her own vested interest to build and KEEP ON building his or her business and income. This, of course, means YOUR income can continue and grow month after month–even when you want to take a vacation or decide to retire altogether.

Rest assured, there are few things greater than returning home from a nice vacation to find a commission check even bigger than the month before waiting in your mailbox!

Bottom line: With SFI, not only can you earn "do-it-once, get-paid-forever" residual-style income, you also can earn Leveraged Income on the sales of thousands of other affiliates! If building financial security is one of your goals, you've found the vehicle to do it with in SFI.

Part - 2

It's been a couple of days since you enrolled as an SFI affiliate, and you're probably wondering, "Who are these guys?" and "Is this SFI thing the real deal?"

Great questions. And you're absolutely right to ask them! After all, you've been invited to involve yourself with a company, and you should definitely know who you're dealing with.

Not only that, but when it comes to finding a legitimate business opportunity on the Internet, it’s a "minefield" out there—heavily populated with questionable, often-illegal money games and here-today-gone-tomorrow schemes. Make a wrong step or choose the wrong company, and you could lose big.

Yet deep down, you've probably figured that amongst all the "junk" out there, there has to be a few jewels. After all, the Internet is a huge, multi-billion-dollar marketplace; there's got to be SOMEBODY who's developed a real opportunity for cashing in on it.

For starters, you should know that:

• SFI is now in its 11th successful year on the Internet. In that time, SFI has grown from just one product to multiple subdivisions and over 10,000 quality products and services.

• With over 8,000 new affiliates joining weekly, SFI is one of the fastest growing companies of its kind in the world. See the Global Growth Report to see just how fast!

• Since 1998, SFI has paid out MILLIONS of dollars in commissions to affiliates in over 190 countries. In other words, SFI is in virtually every country in the world! And in the process, SFI has become, truly, one of the Internet’s biggest success stories.

• SFI's parent company, Carson Services, Inc., has been in business nearly 25 years and is a longtime member of the Better Business Bureau serving southern Nebraska.

• Working with SFI means having the peace of mind of working with a proven, debt-free company with a long, successful track record.

WHAT IS SFI'S SECRET?

WHY has SFI been so successful, while thousands of other would-be competitors have fallen by the wayside over the last 10 years? WHY has SFI become arguably the #1 affiliate program in the world?

We attribute it largely to the unique makeup of our affiliate program—a hybrid sales and marketing system exquisitely powered by the Internet. It probably also has a lot to do with the simple fact that SFI WORKS for so many thousands of people.

Part - 1 Procedure to generate income

How do you earn points?

Again, very simple. On your SFI Homepage, SFI list for you all the actions you can take to earn points.

Each time you complete an action, you instantly earn the points attached to that action. Some actions are worth 20 points, some 30 points, some as much as 100 points, and so on. Then, at the end of the month, we'll add up all the points you've earned during the month and award you the benefits accorded by your point total. It's that simple!

VersaPoints doesn't stop there though. SFI also use your points for our Power Rank program. Power Rank allows you to see how you stack up against your fellow SFI'ers. The more points you accumulate, the higher your rank can go.

SFI rank you in three ways:

A. Your overall Power Rank tells you where you rank amongst ALL active SFI affiliates worldwide. Set your goals to become a "Top 1,000 Affiliate," a "Top 100 Affilate" or even a "Top 10 Affiliate!"

B. Your Country Rank tells you where you rank amongst the active SFI affiliates in your country. Show your fellow citizens that you're an SFI superstar!

C. Your Class Rank tells you where you rank amongst the active SFI affiliates in your class (i.e. all SFI affiliates who joined SFI the same day you did). Work hard and you can be the #1 affiliate in your class!

Now that you understand how our points system works and all the ways it can benefit you, there's one more very important element you need to understand:

That is, earning lots of points means you'll gain access to powerful resources and you'll earn the maximum commissions on the revenues in your SFI organization. But where do the revenues come from? They come from sales and purchases made at TripleClicks.com by the customers you REFER and the affiliates you SPONSOR. In other words, You CREATE revenue in your organization by referring and sponsoring...and then you MAXIMIZE the commissions you earn on that revenue by achieving the maximum number of VersaPoints you can each month. Therefore, by focusing on referring and sponsoring, you can both create AND maximize your earnings with SFI.
