Let's Define some terms before we continue:
Let's Define some terms before we continue:

The Anti-Wealth Plan
Most people go through their entire lives on what is called the "Anti-Wealth Plan." As the name suggests it is a plan which, if followed, does not allow you to achieve significant wealth.
Having a typical job is part of the Anti-Wealth Plan. With a typical job, what is being done is that your time is being traded for money. This means that when YOU stop, the money stops. If you ever want to acquire real wealth, you're not going to get there by trading hours for money. It is a “secret” known by the world’s wealthiest people for decades and if you want financial freedom, you MUST understand the principle.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
The basic idea behind affiliate programs is that when you become an affiliate (also called a referrer, reseller or associate), a partnership is created with the merchant – the owner of a product or provider of a service. Once you as an affiliate refer a customer to the merchant and the customer makes a purchase, you get a percentage of the sale (a commission).
Here are some of the benefits of becoming an affiliate marketer:
- You don’t have to purchase anything
- You don’t have any inventory
- You don’t have to have a business license
- You don’t have to ship anything
- You don’t have to handle credit card transactions
- You don’t have to handle refunds, returns, queries, inquires, etc
- You don't require any employees
- Your business runs 24/7
What Is leveraged Income?
Leveraged Income is earning money through other people's efforts. There’s only so much you can earn through your own efforts.
What Is Residual 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.
What are Two-Tier and Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing Programs?
The principle behind two-tier and multi-tier (multi-level) marketing programs is quite simple. You earn commissions on sales you make (as with normal affiliate marketing), but you also earn commissions when someone you have referred becomes an affiliate and makes a sale.
How does SFI work and how you Make money with SFI
To begin with, SFI is an affiliate marketing program. So firstly, you earn commissions when your marketing efforts result in a sale. As an example, for all standard retail sales (sales to non-SFI affiliates or persons who do not reside at your same address) of SFI consumer goods, you'll earn between 30% to 80% commissions.
SFI is also multi-level affiliate marketing program. In-built into the SFI System is a Network Builder Program, which allows you to refer other affiliates to SFI and earn commissions when their marketing efforts result in a sale.
But it doesn’t just stop there. Oh no! As you would learn later on, with the SFI System there are several other ways that you earn money, which allow you to literally explode your income.
THE STEP-BY-STEP PLAN FOR SUCCESS:
STEP 1
Develop The Right Mindset
Before you begin to build your SFI business a very important step is developing the Right Mindset.
Actually, this applies to any business you want to start online; you have to develop the right mindset.
Many people have an attitude that “this is just something I am doing on the side to make some extra money.
This is definitely the wrong attitude. You have to take your online business very seriously. With the right attitude and right plan, the income you make from your online business can match and eventually exceed the income from your day-by-day job.
Let’s look at what is likely to happen if you don’t develop the right mindset… and this actually applies to any of your ventures to make money online:
- You are going to continue spending hours online searching for the “easy get rich quick” ways to make money on the internet.
- You are going to join one opportunity, but with a half-hearted attitude, you will make little effort in marketing the products, promoting the opportunity or following the system.
- You are not going to make much money and become frustrated, and most likely come to the conclusion that the system does not work and that it’s a scam.
- You are going to continue searching for other opportunities and end up jumping from one opportunity to other.
- You are going to be easily influenced into spending a lot of money on courses that teach you how to make money online… you know the ones that say “you can make thousands of dollars daily… with little effort”
- You are going to buy one of these courses, read it (maybe not even the entire course), not implement the strategies recommended, see no results, give up on the course, then buy another course.
- You are not going to be making any serious money
- You are going to become frustrated and eventually, you are going to give up and that’s the end of your journey to financial freedom.
If you have been trying to make money online for some time now, then you surely can relate!
So then what should you do? What does developing the right mindset mean?
ü Picking a proven system to make money (such as the SFI system).
ü Following the steps outlined in the system… stay focused… take action… don’t get distracted by “the next big money making opportunity”.
ü Because you are taking action, you are going to see results. Some of these results may not be favourable. Learn from them and move on. Some of the results would be favourable. Use these results as motivation and improve/increase your efforts.
ü Making some serious money online.
ü Growing your business.
Take the above to heart… because it will make the difference as to whether you succeed or fail at failure with building your online business.

STEP - Become An Executive Affiliate (EA).
Now this is where the excitement starts. In order to realise the full potential of the SFI System and build an increasingly profitable internet business, you have to become an Executive Affiliate (EA).
What Are The Benefits Of Becoming An EA?
In addition to the benefits of being an affiliate Executive Affiliates have the following benefits:
- Double retail sale commissions. The amount of commission you get from sales increases from 30% to 60%!
- A share of every sale and purchase from every SFI affiliate worldwide who joins SFI after you. This is referred to as the Executive Bonus and you’ll learn more about it in the AffiliateCentre.
- Up to 56% off on SFI's most popular products via wholesale pricing!
- Matching VersaPoints from your downlines, this increases your share of TripleClicks executive pool, as your downline increases, your matching VersaPoints increases as well.
- Commissions on SFI Merchant Services activity generated by your personally sponsored affiliates. Each time one of your personally sponsored affiliates participating merchants accepts a credit card for a transaction, you earn a commission!
- Full access to SFI's most powerful business-building tools - such as Co-op Manager, Hit Tracking, Key Codes, and more.
- FREE group messaging. This allows you to more efficiently communicate with our sponsored affiliates and grow your business by sending messages, newsletters, tips, training articles, etc. to your organization.
What Are The Requirements For Becoming An EA?
To become an EA, you simply have to generate 10 SVP (Sales Volume Points) anytime during the month. Remember that SFI is an affiliate marketing program. Again, this means that for each product that is sold through your marketing efforts, you get a commission. Each product is also allocated a SVP; generally the higher the value of the product, the higher the SVP.
You can find out the SVP for each SFI product on the Commission Schedule Page.
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CommissionSchedule.sfi
Now let’s look a little closer at two ways you can become an EA.
Two Ways You Can Become An EA.
Method 1
In this first method, you are going to meet your requirements for becoming an EA, by marketing SFI products and earning the required monthly SVPs through retail sales.
If you choose this method, here are the steps you should take:
- Visit SFI’s products and programs page -https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ProductsandPrograms.sfi
- Choose a product to promote (This Is YOUR FOCUS). SFI has quite a number of products you can promote ranging from merchant services, magazines, music, consumer products including wellness and weight loss, natural cleaners, soaps and shampoos, coffees and teas and pet care products.
- Visit the Marketing Methods and Marketing Aids pages in the Affiliate Centre. For the product you have chosen, read, understand and implement the methods recommended. SFI has marketing methods organized into sections for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced marketer.
Marketing Methods -https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Marketing/MarketingMethods.sfi
Now, implement is underlined for a reason.
That’s because, it’s the most important part of the plan.
If you do nothing, then expect nothing… Don’t expect to generate sales and earn commissions!
If you need clarity on anything or just need some general guidance, visit the SFI discussion Board.
There are discussions on every aspect of the SFI System.
Also, check out the SFI Training Library -https://www.sfimg.com/Training/showIndex.sfi. It’s full of tips, tutorials and other resources.
TIP – Picking Your Focus Product
Many SFI affiliates get stuck at the step of picking a product to focus on.
You have to get pass this step to move on to the other steps. Here are some suggestions to help you pick you focus.
One of the first things I would recommend that you do is start thinking about your interests/passions... and picking a product that is related on that. Why? Because it makes the work a lot easier.
Answering the following questions should help you develop some ideas:
1) what websites do you visit when you're just surfing online?
2) do you have pets?
3) do you play and sports?
4) do you collect anything?
5) do you have any specialized education?
Method 2 (Recommended Option)
In this method, you are going to meet the requirements of being an EA by setting up a standing order for yourself.
If the available VP is not enough to reach 1500VP to maintain your EA2 Status I personally recommend that you purchase - 100 Tcredits Pack standing Order for $29 per month = $15.50 CV and 1200 Versa Points
Or
- 125 Tcredits Pack standing Order for $36.25 per month = $15.50 CV and 1500 Versa Points (recommended) Why do I suggest to ALL serious affiliates to choose these 2 products available at TripleClicks? Because:
This is because SFI has cancelled IAHBE which use to be about the same price but with 1500 EA qualifying versa point. So buying a special package of 100 TCredits pack saves money for affiliate who is running on low budget although it doesn’t automically qualifies you as an EA, you can do you “Daily Actions” and complete the tasks you didn’t do last month to get the remaining VersaPoints needed to qualify as EA2. 17
Another reason is that you can use the TCredits to bid in auctions and win fantastic’s products at giveaway prize.
However, if you have a little more money, you can then set up a standing order of a 125 TCredits pack that automatically qualifies you as an EA for $36.25
With this way you are sure of qualifying for TripleClicks executive pool for the month and new two co-sponsored affiliate will be assigned to you. You can keep a standing order to make sure you always qualify for EA every month.
You can pay for standing order using your PayPal or just visit TripleClicks and purchase TCurrency (more on this later) from a local merchant in your country (recommended) to make it easier for you whether you want to pay with dollar, pound, rupee or naira.
STEP 4– Grow Your SFI Network
Grow your downlines, SFI business is more about you the affiliates in your downlines, this is how you make money, huge money from SFI. The fact is, by simply sponsoring a few good, active SFI affiliates; you can eventually have hundreds or even THOUSANDS of affiliates and TC members 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.
How Can Grow Your Downlines
Buying Affiliates
Standing Order for 20 Personal Sponsored Affiliates for $50 = $6.50 CV and 488 Versa Points 20 Personal Sponsored Affiliates are fundamental in creating with no effort, no time, no risk, the duplication process we all need in order to follow the income path illustrated above. This means you can just buy affiliates.
Join S-Builder Coop
