There are many ways to use your MRPs at your TripleClicks Store. Think of them as reward points for groceries or certain credit cards. Some purchases using MRP are better than others.

As a successful affiliate, here are some ways I like to use my MRPs:

You can purchase guaranteed 'PSAs-to-Go' for MRP at your TripleClicks Store.

You can purchase guaranteed packages of PSAs from ECA: Proprofit - Global Marketing Services, getting the best value for your MRPs compared to the cash price or TCredits and to many other products for MRP. This month, August, they are putting on a contest and they will pay you at least a consolation prize just for entering the contest. Just make a purchase and you are automatically entered. This is a great way to build your business.

If you like bidding on the Pricebender auctions you can collect 10 MRP per bid in the double MRP auctions. Then you can buy more TCredits for just under 12,000 MRP. However, there are other products that give you more per MRP.

There are also lots of products at your TripleClicks Store that you can purchase for MRP. Surf and compare for yourself to get what you want the most for the best value.

You must be a Team Leader to show leadership skills, knowledge and commitment to SFI.

Maximize your profits by helping your first line PSAs, especially, to reach EA2 and stay there until they are ready to become a team leader too.

Once you know they are committed and are BTLs themselves, reassign an EA2 to them. Hopefully, your upline sponsor will give you some too. Then help them even more. Keep sponsoring, thousands if necessary to find the gems. Then watch as your team explodes magically.

You can maximize your earnings even more by showing your down line how to advertise effectively, become an ECA (perhaps locally) and how to sponsor ECAs.

Show them Wave3, even give them a $2.00 gift certificate to purchase a membership.

Tell them about all the chances to win as a Wave3 member, and how to win all the contests SFI has to offer. Get them interested in the Pricebender Auction.

Encourage all your affiliates to get a standing order, even if it’s just a few single TCredits. A single TCredit gives both you and your affiliate 102 VP each (as matching VP)!

If an EA or EA2 is short a couple of hundred VP from maintaining EA2 I give them a gift certificate if I can, occasionally, and especially if they are new or as a reward for being loyal for months and months.

You then also earn another 100 VP for yourself towards upping your ranking.

There are many benefits to being a Bronze Team Leader:

- 1 – Mainly, your receive matching VP for the work of your PSAs who maintain EA2 level or higher, down to 6 levels, including all your CSAs at EA2 or higher.

- 2 – You also receive 12 bonus TCredits every month and also a one-time $10 Bronze bonus the second month you maintain BTL

- 3 – And 1 share of second home CSAs (which can be as high as 100 affiliates!) – I believe that this is the greatest benefit. Since these are second home affiliates, most have been in SFI a while and some are actually doing well.

It may not happen like magic, but if you continue to go BTL every month I believe it pays off. Having lots of CSAs doing well really helps, so I help them too!

"Should I prospect people to become affiliates only from my own country...or from everywhere?"

This is a good question. I think that both are important.

If you can recruit from your own country and the language is the same, it will be easier to communicate and to give specific instruction. Your family, friends, one-on-one etc. are the easiest to train, since it would be hands-on.

However, SFI is a worldwide company. If you recruit from more countries you will have even more expansion available to you Most people can have their own language interpreted on the SFI site or www.google.com/translate. You can have a2a friends in other countries to help with specific situations. You can ask questions on the Forum, here at ASK SC, your upline sponsors and Geri Carson himself.

This a great video that shows how to earn VP every day. It doesn’t even use words. It is great for any language!

My answer to that is, it depends. Sometimes the auto bidder is useful and sometimes not. And, of course, it's always a risk. If you get too committed by spending a lot of TCredits, be prepared to go the whole way.

Auto-bidding usually takes a shorter time and costs more TCredits. No auto bidder usually takes a longer time but less TCredits.

At the beginning of an auction you might get lucky using the auto bidder if there are a lot of other auctions in progress. You still need to keep an eye on it though. You don't want to get into a bidding war with just one other person.

There are some auctions that do not have an auto bidder. For these I try to be the one to bid first and have several others try to beat the time from running out. This also works with an auto bidder. You can stop it and start it anytime. I often keep bidding until the others don't want to lead. This gives you a better chance to win but sometimes auctions can on and on.

What I do is watch to see how many people are bidding and if they are bidding close in time or waiting until the last second to bid. The former indicates heavier competition, usually.

If your computer is a little slow, it's a good idea to use the auto bidder. You wouldn't want to lose just because of a computer glitch! It's usually the person on auto-bid who wins but it could cost several hundred TCredits.

Have fun but stay within your budget!

There are many different ways to engage your Affiliates on one or more of the huge number social media sites:

1. First and foremost, explain the rules, especially for Facebook. Every SFI affiliate needs to know that certain gateways, if used too often will get us all blocked from using ours on Facebook too. I've found that it's mainly the ones for SFI, not TripleClicks that lead to problems. If you use your own blog site, website, or the "Share-it" Buttons on SFI and TripleClicks you'll be safe.

2. Explore the sheer multitude of sites, other than Facebook and Twitter, for a larger audience. Invite your acquaintances, friends, family etc. to join you. There are also business groups on Facebook that you can join that allow you to do advertising.

3. Let your affiliates know what sites you are on, give them the url address, and ask them to join you (like or follow you.)

4. Ask your affiliates what sites they are on. Like and/or follow them and make comments on their site if they allow you to. Always ask for permission to do so.

5. Explain to your affiliates the "Share-it" buttons, where they are and how they can use them to promote their business. Share a personal story that was successful. The "Share-it" buttons are safe to use, although with Twitter, there may be too many words, so you'll need to shorten it down. On Facebook you should add a personal note. It's a great way to get free advertising. You can let your friends know when a special auction is on or something you have had success with, to name a few.

6. If you have a large team, you could start a special Facebook page exclusively for your PSAs. They can go there to learn, ask questions, and get to know each other.

7. Tumblr is a good social media site where all your comments can automatically be posted on your blog or website, if you have one.

8. You can set up your own blog for free on Word Press and Blogger etc. Use key words and links that lead your reader to your TC Store, SFI and TripleClicks. You can also use your blog for your group and offer contests, encouragements and special information.

The sky is the limit using social media today. Use it to your advantage!

My upline team and I work together to help our downline succeed. This in turn promotes our SFI business for all. We offer them:

- a free mini website
- free leads and teach how to use them
- free webinars for training and sponsoring
- our own facebook page to keep our affiliates up to date and to build relationships
- blogsite for even more training through videos
- great contests for TCredits, gift certificates, and re-assignments.
- congratulations on the stream page when someone achieves a goal.
- one-on-one contact on a regular basis for those who want it.

As a result we have good quality affiliates that promote their own business and build the down line rapidly. We lead by example and in constant contact. Of course there are many that just don't do anything; that's just human nature.

Personally, I have three of us that work together who are friends and family. It's great to have them close by.

I have advertised on:
- free sites
- my own websites
- social networks
- email campaigns.

One time I offered a partnership in a growing international business. I even got resumes. Some joined and have made excellent affiliates.

What should you do if you have $500 to invest in your SFI business? This immediately brings a couple of factors to my attention in order to give a good answer.

1. Is this a one-time investment?
2. Are you just starting the SFI business?

(If you are in your first 10 days of joining, purchase the New Member Pack for lots of TCredits and EZ Credits at a fantastic savings.)

Assuming the two factors above are the case, my advice would be to set up a standing order for 125 TCredits. Your will then immediately:

1. Become an executive affiliate (EA) & have 2 extra chances to win the Daily Grand Prize.
2. Earn two CSAs immediately & can send out team mail every week for 120-150 VP/month.
3. Qualify as an EA every month automatically and easily work your way up to BTL and beyond.

As an EA you will earn 10 TCredits and 2 CSAs per month. As a team leader you also earn a share of CSAs from the pool, and more TCredits.

The SO of 125 TCredits will cost $35 x 12 = $420.00 over 12 months. In the meantime, however, you can be earning enough income from SFI to invest in other options and to use your TCredits to earn PSAs (personally sponsored affiliates), VPs (versa points), and MRPs (member reward points.)

An example would be to bid on the Pricebender Auction. Even if you don’t win an auction, you can earn 5 or 10 MRPs, 1 - 2 VPs, and add to your option to Spin-and-Win PSAs with just one bid. With your MRPs you can make purchases at your TripleClicks Store and earn even more VPs.

DistribuStar gift cards are great to get people on TripleClicks, earning you commission. You can earn 10 VP every day by tracking one card. If you do this and your daily actions, you will have 2 entries more into the Daily Grand Prize. Add that to 2 from SO, 1 from the Alerts Page, and you have 5 entries! You also are automatically entered into the DistribuStar Contest. I usually win VP or more Gift Cards. This all continues to perpetuate itself into free VP, up to 300 per month from tracking alone.

Everyone should join Wave3. It’s only $1.99 to join and you get monthly benefits.

Play Zebra games for up to 200 VP per month and chances to win. Play at least one that requires a TCredit (or EZ credit) per day for 1 VP and an entry into the Daily Crown Contest. If you win a game(s) you could also earn a lot more.

Some of your money should go to either advertising for affiliates, or purchasing PSAs, once you are ready to support them. You will need to train your affiliates once you get them, so be prepared at some point to set up contests to win TCredits and/or gift certificates (different from DistribuStar.) If new affiliates don’t get help you could lose them very quickly.
The most important thing to do at first is to be an EA or BTL every month and to learn the business.

I have been in SFI for about 3 years now and always re-invest my earnings. This has paid off in spades. Whatever level you are at, keep this in mind.

Wishing success to you!

All the training a new affiliate needs is on the website. The new affiliate can easily accumulate enough points to maintain a rank of Executive Affiliate every month if they follow the advice of the online training and ask their up line sponsors for help. If their sponsor can’t help, they can ask questions at the:

1.“ASK SC” page on the website
2.Visit “The Forum”
3.Go further up line or to their co-sponsor
4.Go to the “FAQ” section

This a good question. Although I help my downline PSAs and CSAs any way I can, there has to be a limit. I mainly work with the workers. I answer questions as soon as I can from any of my affiliates and/or direct them to find out themselves once they have been doing well several months.

They must prove that they want to succeed and follow the advice they have asked for. You, as a leader, can support them with your story, successes and failures. You can give tips to each of them personally from looking at their VP Leger, (under 'Hot Spots'> genealogy)and as a whole team in team mail to all PSAs and CSAs.

I support first of all, the hard workers in my first line of PSAs, then further downline, as well as new CSAs and those who ask for help.

How much do I help?

1. I help new PSAs to reach EA by giving reassignments, advice, and if necessary, a gift certificate for a couple of TCredits worth 102 VP each. With the new fast track and New Member Pack, I also try to get them going in the first 10 days.

2. I help first time EAs reach EA2 and help them stay there, or move to Team Leader. I first advise them to get a standing order, preferably 1500+ Versa Points. 1500 VP will ensure EA2 status every month. If they can't afford it but are consistent at reaching EA2 on their own I help them on months where they just need a couple hundred VP. A gift certificate of $10 gives them the opportunity to order 5 single TCredits, worth 510 VP.

3. I help Team Leaders to reach their goals, often by reassigning good PSAs of my own.
