SFI recently celebrated 15 years in business. This is quite a stable affiliate marketing company which I enjoy working with.

Gery Carson seem to be one of the honest people in internet marketing and creating SFI has helped lots of people from all over the World start their own businesses.

I joined in 2009 and did not focus much on building my business until 2012. Honestly this was after the collapse of several online internet marketing companies starting in that same year.

Although I earned money from several of those companies I realized that I should have focused more on SFI.

There are lots of niches in internet marketing, but for me by far the best is affiliate marketing. I prefer this market because of the residual income it continues to generate, even when you retire from your internet marketing business.

The purpose of this training manual is to help new and regular team members achieve the best results at SFI. I advice you to focus on SFI for six month and your would see the results from the training here and the earnings you get from the different income streams you could put to work for you.

I decided to write this manual because of the feedback I get from some members. I would appreciate any comments which would make this manual easier to understand and facilitate training for all members.

The contents of the manual will change as it develop, so please expect updates.

I do wish you all great success with SFI and I am sure if you continue to treat this business with respect and legitimacy it will reward you for your efforts.

Be blessedDave SaundersMarkit Business SolutionsTeam Leaders Co-op

Home Page

After you log into your site you will be taken to the following page which is sometimes called the Home Page or Index Page.

Your home page will look like this:

SFI is free to join and the training here is fantastic. There is a lot to learn here but do not be overwhelmed with the amount of information you see on the site. Just follow the training and depending on how much time you have allocated to growing your SFI business, combine this training with reading as much information on the website to get yourself familiar with how the business works. If you are pressed for time then concentrate on the training and when this is completed go on reading the other information on the site.

Although SFI is free to join you need to treat it is a great opportunity, to make money working for yourself. Getting involved in your own business is a huge task and involves a lot of commitment on your path and that of your family, if you have one.

If your business is successful then you would be well rewarded for your efforts in the beginning. The trick is to work smart and hard and SFI training provides you with the tools to do this.

As a new or returning affiliate I advise you to concentrate on increasing your Versa Points daily. In a way SFI pays you for your training by rewarding you these Versa Points for completing tasks. The Versa Points determine your level of commission and access to more tools to enhance your business.

Daily Actions

You need to perform several tasks to begin to understand how SFI works. Commit yourself to at least 15 minutes each day of the month to ensure you do the tasks on the Daily Actions. The Daily Actions is also called the To-do-List. This is all part of your training and you are being rewarded with VersaPoints.

Navigation Menu

Daily Actions

This task need to be performed daily to earn the points listed here. If you do not attempt to collect them for that day then they are lost.

As a new member you may not be able to do some of these tasks. As you get further into your training program you would be able to go back to these tasks and complete them. Such task such as reviewing the A2A tab on your SFI page cannot be done until you upload a photo and it is approved. Once this is done join A2A.

Click on the blue links of each task to access the page and when completed go down to the bottom of the page to click on the large blue button to claim your point.

Claim 2 points per day for checking out the latest items at TripleClicks. Click on the link for the webpage to open in a new tab. Check out the items at TripleClicks. This is your own TripleClicks store.

You could also access the Daily Actions from the To-do-List tab. All the red tabs are tasks which need to be completed to get you Versa Points.

To-do-List

All the tasks listed below, with the exception of the Daily Actions, are only done once. Each time you complete a task it would disappear. You still have access to these tasks from the navigation barmenu above.

Complete as many of these per day to keep your Versa Points above the green line. Complete the Whitelist first to ensure you always get emails into your Inbox from SFI, your sponsor and uplines. Completing this task will earn you 100 points.

Getting Started Actions

The getting started actions are tasks which you complete once for the points stipulated next to each one.

LaunchPad

Complete at least one LaunchPad lesson per day and remember to answer the quiz at the bottom of each lesson.

Intermediate Actions

* To receive credit for these points, read or review the item, then click the VersaPoints icon located in the top right corner of the page.

+ These points were awarded to you in a previous month and are included in your cumulative VersaPoints total-to-date.

Fast Track

To become a Fast-Track Member, a new SFI affiliate must earn at least 500 VersaPoints during their first 24 hours in SFI. Upon achieving this, the new affiliate receives a bonus 200 VersaPoints.

They also receive a Fast-Track Member badge and a spot on the Fast-Track "wall of fame" at https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/FastTrackHallOfFame. New affiliates are informed about the Fast-Track program on their SFI Welcome Page (https://www.sfimg.com/gs2)

Upon registering with SFI, new affiliates land on our "Welcome to SFI" webpage:https://www.sfimg.com/gs2

This page provides helpful getting-started information and also lets them know about our Fast-Track program.

Upon registration, our standard "welcome to SFI" email is also sent to them.

Three basic rules to build a large monthly income with your SFI Business:1) hold your Executive Affiliate (EA) rank every month (see below for the easiest way to do this).

2) find 5 others who will work their SFI business like you will

3) help these 5 to duplicate these 2 points above with their own 5 team members (affiliates).

These are the amount of EA's you need to build your team and achieve the different levels of Team Leader. This is very easy to do because of SFI's duplication and upline support system

15 EA2's plus you doing a standing order to stay at BTL25 EA2's plus you doing a standing order to stay at STL35 EA2's plus you doing a standing order to stay at GTL45 EA2's plus you doing a standing order to stay at PTLnot counting if you have TL's

Maintaining Your EA Status

The easiest way to keep you EA status is to set up a standing order that will earn you 1500 VP.

I have on my standing order and personally recommend the IAHBE (International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs) for at least the first two months. There is a lot of information to digest from this product. This SO (Standing Order) gives you the required VP plus an additional 100 VP for taking out a SO for 1500 or more VP. https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=5540

Later as your business develops you could choose other products to help build your business.

The following are some of the products and services which I recommend:

1 x TCredit Pack (100 TCredits) for $29 (reg. price $42) @ https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=96180

This will give you 1200 VP for purchasing on a Standing Order and 100 Tcredits to bid or buy on Tripleclicks. You also get up to 500 VP per month for bidding on Pricebender auctions. I recommend bidding on items that will build your business such as co-sponsored affiliates or SBuilder Coop Units).

1 x S-Builder Co-op Unit @ http://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=38631

This will give you 280 VP for purchasing on a standing order and will also send you some new team members each month.

You will then be attributed a total of 1480 VP on or around the 11th of each month (and your 100 Tcredits).

Another 20 VP through daily actions will see you at Executive Affiliate and because you have a standing order you automatically get 2 draws in the Daily Grand each day.

If you feel you do not have the funds to start your business one of the best ways is to promote Pricebenders Auctions. You will find information on how to do this and the tools you need at https://www.sfimg.com/MarketingPricebenders.

Every hour, TripleClicks give away 60 FREE TCredits (30 winners of 2 TCredits each hour). No purchase necessary.

To enter each hourly drawing, click on or copy and paste this link http://www.tripleclicks.com/t_time.php, then click on the product image for the free entry button.

Team Co-ops

I also run team co-ops to help members on my first level who achieve EA status build their teams and also for all affiliates to help them with new referrals.

The Affiliate Team Co-op is fully operational and is free to all EA's to help build their team of 5 affiliates.

The Affiliate Co-op is soon to be on stream. The membership to this co-op is open to all our team members and will be fee based. I have not decided on what the cost would be as it is not a money making venture but one to help members who would like help in building their teams

I want to help you build your business so please let me know where you are going to focus your efforts (building and leading a team of your own, referring new customers and/or ECAs to Tripleclicks, Promoting Pricebenders etc.).

I am also interested in hearing what your SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) are. This is so that I could help you with training, information and advice.

If you believe you are ready to be a leader I will do my best to help you build your team. In the meanwhile if you have any questions or need any help at all please let me know.

Pricebenders

Pricebenders auction is a great place to pick up some super bargains. You could also earn some residual income from advertising the products and services up for auction on your Social Networking sites.

With Pricebenders, even when you don't win the auction, you still win!...because for every bid, you earn 5 Member Rewards Points (MRP). MRPs can be redeemed on tens of thousands of different TripleClicks products and services and music downloads. You also earn 1 VersaPoint for every bid you make.

Pick-The-Price (PTP)

Each Pricebenders™ Auction also includes a Pick-The-Price (PTP) contest. Anyone who is a TripleClicks Member may win 200 FREE TCredits that can be used for bidding on future Pricebenders auctions, music downloads, listing no-longer-needed stuff for sale on TripleClicks, purchasing products, and more.

It's only 1 TCredit to enter. Just log in at TripleClicks at the start of each new feature auction and click the Pick-The-Price Contest button. Then, just submit the amount you think will be the winning price of the item. You can enter each time we start a new auction, so you'll have multiple chances to win each day. If no one predicts the exact final price, the person who is closest without going over wins 50 FREE TCredits. In the event of a tie, the person who posted the winning prediction first will receive either the 200 or 50 FREE TCredits prize, whichever is applicable.

PTP Contest Rules: 1. Enter with one TCredit. 2. Entry must be submitted before the auction price hits $1.00. 3. One entry per TripleClicks Member per auction. 4. No purchase necessary to win. 5. Maximum of one prize per day. 6. No winners if the auction ends at less than $1.25.

Need a TCredit to enter? You can enter the T-TIME Drawing, where, every hour, SFI gives away 60 FREE TCredits to 30 lucky winners (720 winners each day!); become a WAVE3 Member to receive 5 FREE TCredits monthly; purchase TCredits for as little as $.29 each; or you can have one FREE TCredit instantly added to your account by sending a postcard or letter to head offices.

IMPORTANT! Limit of one TCredit from postcard credited per customer per day. Please include your name and TripleClicks Member ID number or e-mail address.

Commission Payment Options

It is easy to make changes to your commission payment options at any time. Follow these instructions to make changes.

Enter the information in the appropriate field and click Submit. NOTE: SFI Affiliates who fail to log in to the Affiliate Center within a 45-day period will automatically have their payment options set to "Accumulate my commissions." Additionally, affiliates who do not achieve EA status at ANY time during a continuous 6-month period will forfeit all accumulated commissions.https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/EditCommissionPaymentInfo

A2A

A2A is a great way to make friends with other SFI members. It is also an effective way to get members you referred to SFI to connect with and in some cases get help from other SFI members living in their own countries.

It could help you with any language barriers you may have encountered with your referral and also give them the confidence knowing that there is another person associated with SFI in their own country.

You could also use A2A to find SFI'ers in your region. Click on the following link to access your SFI A2A page https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=a2a

You could contact the members who you referred to SFI via TeamMail or TeamTalk at the Affiliate Center. Use this form of contact to send messages, answers to their questions, important support information, tips, newsletters, etc. to your whole team or to individual members.

SFI Income Streams

There are multiple ways of earning an income from SFI, they include the following. Here are the five easiest ways to make money with SFI:

1 Direct/Referrals Commissions2 Co-sponsored committees3 TripleClicks Executive Pool4 ECA commissions5 Add your own items to sell

Let us look at each in detail.

1. Direct/Referrals CommissionsQualification: Partners (Aff)

Every time one of your personally sponsored affiliates (PSAs) or Tripleclicks recommendations buys something from the TripleClicks store, you earn 45% of the Commission's value (CV) of the product.

2. CSA commissionsQualification: Executive Partner (EA / EA 2)

Every time your co-sponsored affiliates (CSAs) TripleClicks.com buys something, you get 15% of the Commission's value (CV) of the product.

3. TripleClicks Executive PoolQualification: Executive Partner

Every time something is sold on TripleClicks, 40% of the CV is set aside and placed in the TripleClicks Executive Pool.

The pool is partitioned between EA and higher ranking SFI affiliates in the following month.For each VersaPoint (VP) you accumulate during the month, you will receive one share of the month Executive Pool. If you have higher VP-, the more you earn from the TripleClicks Executive Pool!

Note that VP can be earned for a variety of actions (see full list of VP Ledger actions).

To earn even more stocks, you are a team leader:

As Bronze Team Leader your appropriate VP on all EA2s in your downline in 6 steps (including your CSAs).

As a Silver Team Leader youR appropriate VP on all EA2s in your downline in 8 levels (including your CSAs).

As a Gold Team Leader your appropriate VP on all EA2s in your downline in 10 levels (including your CSAs).

As a Platinum Team Leader your appropriate VP on all EA2s in your downline in 12 levels (including your CSAs).

Key qualifications:

To earn matching VP, you must have attained the rank of team leader, keep your SFI-page guide constantly updated, and get a permanent sponsor at least 3-star rating (not valid for less than 5 review).

To earn shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool, VP collect only by their daily actions of your task list (SFI to-do list) (you will earn more as a team leader).

4 . ECA referral programQualification: Executive Partner

Make recommendations to the TripleClicks E-Commerce affiliate (ECA) Program and earn royalties for life, your life!

You simply refer people our products in your ECA Gateway to sell. You earn 10% of the CV at all (their) TripleClicks.com at these sales.

Tip # 1: Find people to sell things that you want to buy.Then, when you buy from himself recruited ECAs, you will receive "rebates" on your purchases (and earn VP as well).

Tip # 2: Customer advertise your ECA's "store within a store", TConnect your websites.With the combination of direct commissions (45% CV) and ECA Royalties (10% CV), you can earn good-looking 55% of the CV on any sales!

5. Add your own items to sellSelling your own used stuff is a great way to earn some extra income . There are two ways to do this.

1. To run a "flea market" on Tripleclicks and sell all your equipment you no longer need. 2. You are an e-commerce associate and sell their own products, or other people's products.

Click on the item you choose to be taken to the page for that single item. Click on the SFI Affiliates link at the bottom to get your affiliate link for that item or all the items which are being sold by that store.

Advertising Your Gateways

These are your advertising gateways. You could locate your Gateways at https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList

There are several ways to advertise your SFI gateways. It all depend on your budget and choice of advertising. Here are some of the ways I use to advertise:

1. Mailing Lists2. Safelists3. Classified Ads4. Blogs5. Social Media6. Websites7. Rotators8. Pay Per Click9. Traffic Exchanges

1. Mailing ListsI am sure you may have come across the phrase “The money is in the list” This is quite true, once you have your own mailing lists you could send out emails to the list at any time about anything you are doing. This reduces the threat of spam because every member of your list have opted in and agree to receive emails from you.

The easiest way to maintain and mail to your list is via an autoresponder. I recommend you use Aweber but if you have a hosting account then use the one offered by your own hosting company.

To build your own mailing list takes a bit of time and effort. You could start by sending out an email to your email list.

Alternatively you could use splash pages, squeeze pages and landing pages to capture people's email addresses.

2. SafelistsSafelists are normally free sites which you join and agree to read other members emails in return for sending your own offers to them. You could join as a free member and mail to your list every day or couple of days depending on the criteria of each site.

If used correctly safelists could be an effective recruiting tool. It is important to monitor the response you get from each advertising campaign to determine which ones are providing you with the best results.

3. Classified AdsClassified ads are pretty effective advertising platforms. Most are free to join and you are allowed to choose the length of time you would like the advertisement to run for.

4. BlogsBlogs are very effective advertising media. You could write a blog about a specific product or service and keep it updated regularly to keep your readership interested.

You could get a free blog site from Wordpress or Google and start blogging immediately. There are several social networking and ping sites which you could use to advertise your blog on. I

5. Social MediaSocial media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin etc are very good places to advertise your links to Pricebenders and TripleClicks. Most of these sites are free to join and there are millions of potential customers for you to post your advert to.

6. WebsitesHaving your own website is a great advantage when doing internet marketing. You could post banners on your site and also dedicate pages to featuring products and services with photos.

7. RotatorsRotators allow you to advertise more than one link at the same time. It is a good way to gauge which one of your Gateways is giving you the most traffic and which is giving you the most sign ups.

8. Pay Per ClickUsing PPC is a good way to advertise your SFI Gateways but using this method of advertising would require an advertising budget. The budget will be determined by your individual financial situation.

9. Traffic ExchangesTE are great advertising tools for your business. It is usually free to sign up but some require you to purchase credits before you could advertise your link.

10. Word-of-MouthThis is by far the most effective, cheapest and reliable form of advertising. If you are confident with

your SFI business and is capable of answering questions about how SFI works, then go for it.

Other forms of advertising are cold calling, telemessages, leaflet drops, newsletters, newspapers, radio. All of these with the exception of the newsletters require some form of investment, some more than others.

I would suggest that depending on your financial situation that you start with the free ones first and focus on building your own mailing lists for the future.

ECA Features

1. You can add your company logo and a company profile.

2. A suggestion box so TC members can submit ideas and suggestion to you to help you improve your products and operations.

3. A "Tell-A-Friend" button so members can quickly and easily refer others to your TConnect Website.

4. A detailed "Contact Us" page that allows your customers to contact you by phone, fax, postal mail, or via our internal message center (more on this in a moment).

5. A brand new and expanded product showcase area. Your products are now viewable in five tabs: Featured Products, Hot Deals, Closeouts, Newest Products, and ALL Products. The showcase area also now includes the ability for members to search for your products by keyword!

6. Member comments. Located in the left sidebar is an area for customer comments and testimonials. Logged-in members will see a box in which they can enter and submit their comments to you (you approve any comments before they are displayed). Customer testimonials are one of the best ways to boost sales, so we encourage you to ask your buyers to submit comments. You can do this in order acknowledgements, for example. Just give them your TConnect Website address, and tell them to log in and post a comment for you. And be sure to thank them in advance of course!

7. Your new TConnect Website now provides you with the ability to instantly distribute messages to all of your connections! Effective immediately, you can now send out news, updates, and special offers to every TC member that has connected with you--whenever you want, and at no cost to you! And because your messages flow into each member's personal TConnect page, there's no email addresses to mess with and no spam filters to get in your way!

Here's how you send connection messages: Log in at your TConnect Website. You will see a box to enter your text. Enter your text and submit. Boom! Your message is instantly distributed to every one of your connections!

Tip: Send ONLY professional, pertinent messages and not too frequently or you will cause your connected members to DISCONNECT with you. "Less is more" when it comes to connection messages!

Here are some message ideas for you:

- Announce new Hot Deals you've set up. Tip: Setting up 1-2 new Hot Deals every week provides a great reason to use the connection messaging on a regular basis.- Announce items you've added to Closeouts.- If you've been notified that you've got a product that will be featured as Deal Of The Day, announce the day it will be featured, the special price, discount, etc.- Ask for comments and testimonials from those who have placed orders with you (direct them to the comments box in the Member Comments section).- Announce new stock.- Announce special coupons or other special deals you're currently offering.

Note: If you have a physical store, you are also allowed to distribute messages inviting local customers to shop your store sales, come check out your new stock, etc. You may not, however, divert your connections to any other Website to make purchases.

With your TConnect page, you now can easily build an awesome master customer mailing list. All you have to do is ask your customers to go to your TConnect Website and click the "Connect with this company" button located in the top right corner. It's that easy! And there's absolutely no list maintenance. We take care of all that for you!

To help you easily sign up LOTS of people, we will soon be making a variety of marketing tools available to you for this purpose. Fliers and mini-cards you can distribute, signage for your store windows and walls, Website banners, and more. Stay tuned for announcements on this.

Special note: For TC members that YOU refer, we waive the minimum 15% TripleClicks fee on any orders they place at TripleClicks for you. Instead, there is just a flat rate $.95 (95 cents) surcharge to cover our costs of processing the payment and other overhead.

8. The new TConnect Websites also introduce "Power Rankings." Power Rankings allow you to engage in friendly, head-to-head competition with your fellow TripleClicks ECAs within your city, your state/province (if applicable), your country, and worldwide--both overall and also within your specific business category.

Power Rankings give you the opportunity to tell the world, "Check us out, we're the number one company in apparel in the city!" or "We're one of the top ten jewelry companies in the country, according to TripleClicks.com!"

How do you increase your rankings? Currently, we award you one point for each connected member you have. And ten points for each that is a buying customer. Several additional features will be added in the coming months that will allow you to gain points in other ways.

In the meantime, you'll want to encourage customers and prospective customers to connect with you. Each new connection will increase your points and potentially move you up in the rankings. Doing so also, of course, adds them to your mailing list for connection messaging (see #7 above).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW:

1. Add* your company logo (or other company photo you wish to use).

2. Add* your company profile.

3. Check* your contact information, make sure it's complete and up to date. Edit as needed.

4. Write your first connection message. A brief and friendly "Welcome, I'm delighted you've connected with <company name>, we look forward to being at your service" message would be perfect to get started with.

5. Set up at least one Hot Deal and/or Closeout if you can (see the Listings Manager at the ECA Center to set these up).

6. Start referring your customers who are not already TC members to your TConnect Website and ask them to connect with you. This will both build your TC mailing list AND help you increase your Power Rankings.

7. Check your TConnect Website at least once a day. Very important!

* Log in at your TConnect Website, then click the "EDIT" link located in the upper panel to do this.

IMPORTANT GENERAL NOTES:

1. TConnect uses our new site-wide internal message center. That is, when members use the Suggestion Box and/or send you a message via the new Contact Us screen, the message will be delivered to you not via e-mail but through our message center. Therefore, you'll want to check for messages regularly, at least once a day. The best way right now will be to simply log in at your TConnect Website. If you have any unread messages, you will see a link in the top right corner to read them.

2. This is just version 1.0 of TConnect (the previous version was a beta). Many additional features are forthcoming. If you have ideas or suggestions for further improving TConnect Websites, or you encounter a bug, please drop us a line at: ECAsupport@tripleclicks.com

Good luck with your TConnect Store I hope you have many sales and happy times there.
