Don't Know how to get started? Go here.
The Essence of SFIBy Gery Carson, SFI President Many people who join SFI get lost and overwhelmed because they try to make SFI much more complicated than it really is.
If you want to become successful in SFI, there are really just three things you must learn to do:
1) Refer TripleClicks Members
Why refer TripleClicks members? Because the commissions you'll generate when they make purchases are big (up to 72% of CV). And for the work you do just once of signing up a member, you can keep earning those big commissions for years to come. Get started referring members using THESE 26 METHODS.
Plug into S-Builder Co-op for quick and easy member referrals. Learn more.

2)Sponsor Affiliates
Like #1, every affiliate you sponsor can represent an ongoing income stream for you, because as their sponsor, you can earn a portion of everything they do (and also on multiple generations of affiliates that develop below them). Get started sponsoring affiliates using THESE 26 METHODS:
Plug into S-Builder Co-op to start sponsoring affiliates quickly and easily. Learn more.

3)Duplicate
Sponsoring an affiliate doesn't stop when you sign them up. The whole point of sponsoring an affiliate is to "duplicate yourself." Indeed, this is THE most important part of your business! Hence, when you sign up a new affiliate, your goal is to see that they learn how to refer TripleClicks members and sponsor affiliates like you (including the duplication part). Do this and there's no limit to what you can earn!
Note, to help you excel at duplication, SFI provides dozens of great resources. These include your Genealogy, Affiliate Manager, SFIM, My Movers, Affiliate Reassignment, TC Credit Reassignment, a recognition forum, and more

Note: You can calculate earnings using our Earnings Calculator HERE.
Network Overrides allow you to tap into the bank account-bursting power of Leveraged Income and exponential growth.
Parts 1-3 of the SFI Comp Plan empower you to create income based on personal sales and personally sponsored affiliates (PSAs). Network Overrides now take your income to a whole new level by allowing you to earn handsome commissions on the purchases and sales generated by affiliates sponsored by your PSAs and other affiliates in your organization.
Please review the above diagram. Note the "2G's." A 2G is the term we use for an affiliate sponsored by one of your PSAs. "2G" is short for "Second Generation Affiliate." We use the term "generation" because of it's similarity to a family structure. That is, if PSAs are your "children," then an affiliate "born" from your children would be "second generation" to you. Hence, a "2G."
For every purchase made at TripleClicks.com by a 2G affiliate in your organization, you'll earn a 3% to 6% Network Override.
• 3% of CV if you are a Bronze Team Leader (3,000 points minimum)• 4% of CV if you are a Silver Team Leader (4,000 points minimum)• 5% of CV if you are a Gold Team Leader (5,000 points minimum)• 6% of CV if you are a Platinum Team Leader (6,000 points minimum)
Earnings Example: Affiliates within generations two through generation seven of your organization purchase products totaling $30,000 CV. You have 6,200 VersaPoints this month and qualify as a Platinum Team Leader, so you earn $1,800 in Network Overrides (6% of $30,000 CV).
Network Overrides don't stop there though. You'll also earn 3% to 6% on every 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, and 7G in your organization!
3G = A 3rd generation affiliate sponsored by one of your 2Gs4G = A 4th generation affiliate sponsored by one of your 3Gs5G = A 5th generation affiliate sponsored by one of your 4Gs6G = A 6th generation affiliate sponsored by one of your 5Gs7G = A 7th generation affiliate sponsored by one of your 6Gs
There is no limit to how many Network Overrides you can earn each month. Over time, the six generations on which you earn Network Overrides can grow to hundreds or even thousands of affiliates (see chart at left)!
Network Overrides aren't just for purchases made by the affiliates in your organization though. You can also earn Network Overrides on all customer sales* generated by the affiliates in your organization!
Here again, Network Overrides are paid on six generations. That is, all sales made by all second generation (2G) through seventh generation (7G) affiliates in your organization, will earn you Network Overrides as follows:
• 2% of CV if you are a Bronze Team Leader (3,000 points minimum)• 3% of CV if you are a Silver Team Leader (4,000 points minimum)• 4% of CV if you are a Gold Team Leader (5,000 points minimum)• 5% of CV if you are a Platinum Team Leader (6,000 points minimum)
Earnings Example: Affiliates within generations two through generation seven of your organization generate customer sales* totaling $30,000 CV. You have 5,400 VersaPoints and qualify as a Gold Team Leader, so you earn $1,200 in Network Overrides (4% of $30,000 CV). Note that this amount would be IN ADDITION TO the Network Overrides already earned for affiliate purchases as described in the previous Earnings Example.
Note: "Dynamic compression" is also used with Network Overrides. This major income boosting feature means that for every generation that is NOT represented by a Team Leader, the Network Override commission "rolls up" a generation, allowing you to actually earn Network Overrides far beyond just seven generations! Infinitely deep in fact!
To start earning Network Overrides, just become a Team Leader and begin driving duplication in your organization. Learn more HERE.

9)ECA Royalties
Qualification: Min. 1500 pts.
Make referrals to the TripleClicks E-Commerce Associate (ECA) Program and earn lucrative royalties for life!
Simply refer companies that sell products to your ECA Gateway. For each that becomes an approved ECA, you'll earn up to 6% of the CV on all of their sales at TripleClicks.
• 2% of CV with 1,500 points• 3% of CV if you are a Bronze Team Leader (3,000 points minimum)• 4% of CV if you are a Silver Team Leader (4,000 points minimum)• 5% of CV if you are a Gold Team Leader (5,000 points minimum)• 6% of CV if you are a Platinum Team Leader (6,000 points minimum)
Earnings Example: You accumulate 4,200 VersaPoints this month and qualify as a Silver Team Leader. The total CV for all of your referred ECAs is $50,000. You earn $2000 in ECA Royalties this month (4% of $50,000 CV).
The ECA referral program is very powerful because all you have to do is introduce an ECA to TripleClicks and you're all set to earn royalties for life! Every time anyone—anywhere in the world—buys something at TripleClicks from one of your referred ECAs, you earn a royalty!
Tip #1: Buy from your own referred ECAs and receive "rebates" on your purchases.
Tip #2: Refer customers to your ECA's "store within a store" TConnect Gateway Website. With the combination of Customer Commissions and ECA Royalties, you can earn a whopping 78% of the CV on any sales generated!
Special Note: As with all marketing in SFI, SFI exercises a zero tolerance policy on spamming. Violation will result in termination of your SFI affiliateship. Make certain you are not spamming when marketing the ECA program.
To start earning ECA Royalties, just achieve 1,500 points and get active referring businesses to your ECA Gateway (http://www.tripleclicks.com/11113671/ECA).

Frequently Asked Question About Getting started
Frequently asked questions about how to get started with SFI
Q: Can SFI be done successfully part-time?
A: Yes, in fact, most SFI affiliates do SFI part-time. You can start your SFI business on a part-time basis without giving up your current source of income until SFI is generating the income you require. And the best part is you can continue to operate indefinitely on a part-time basis. What would you do if you were financially independent and most of your time was free to do with as you pleased? This is why so many people are flocking to SFI. And that's why we say that SFI puts the freedom back in free enterprise!
Q: How much money can I make?
A: The bottom line is you'll get out of your business what you put into it. It works...if you do. But that's the beauty of it, too; you are in control—it's up to you how far you take it. And don't forget, SFI offers the opportunity to earn residual income. This basically means that for the work you do just today, you have the potential to earn money not only for today but also for potentially years to come. To learn more about the SFI compensation plan, click HERE.
Q: Is it really possible to make a large income working at home?
A: According to Entrepreneur Magazine, the average home-based business household earns $50,250 a year. And about 20% of all home-business households earn in excess of $75,000 a year. And then there are the tax benefits; In the United States, even if your home business isn't generating a profit yet, it can put $5,000 or more in your pocket in tax write-offs. Consult your accountant to learn more about this.
Q: I don't know anything about marketing. Does SFI offer help in this area?
A: Most people are not experienced in marketing, especially on the Internet. That's why we've made it easy with specific, step-by-step marketing strategies and aids for referring members and sponsoring new affiliates. Click HERE for more information.
SFI also provides a multitude of easy-to-use marketing aids and an extensive affiliate Training Library to teach you everything you need to know. With SFI, your business can be up and running in just hours, allowing you to earn while you learn.
You can also contact your upline and ask for help. Your sponsor and other upline members may have additional resources, such as a Team Leader co-op, that you can draw on for further growth of SFI business. Go HERE to contact your upline.
Q: Is SFI just another "get-rich-quick" scheme?
A:"Get-rich-quick" is a fairy tale. If overnight riches are your dream, your odds are probably better playing the lottery than running a business—any business. We're sorry, but we won't insult your intelligence with promises of overnight wealth. That said, we've paid out many millions of dollars to our affiliates who've applied themselves. Indeed, as thousands of our affiliates will attest, there's huge money to be made in SFI, if you're willing to do the work.
Q: What are the costs involved in starting and operating an SFI business?
A: This is one of the most powerful features of SFI. It's completely free to become an SFI affiliate, and there's NEVER a requirement to purchase anything. Compare that to buying a franchise. Even a lesser-known franchise can require an investment of tens of thousands of dollars—and that's just to get started. On top of that, you'd likely have rent, labor, product costs, and much more. With SFI, you can literally "start on a shoestring." Yet, SFI's income potential is just as great if not greater than most franchises.
Of course, ANY business, to become successful, requires some sort of investment in marketing and pursuing members. The good news with SFI is that we've developed dozens of free, almost-free, and inexpensive marketing techniques that you can get started with right away.
In other words, with SFI, you can choose to invest money OR YOU CAN INVEST TIME to build your business, making SFI one of THE most affordable and practical businesses in the world.
Q: SFI sounds too good to be true. There must be fees or a requirement to buy something, right?
A: No. There is NEVER any cost required to be an SFI affiliate. It is true that thousands of SFI affiliates DO purchase SFI products for themselves. It only makes sense, after all, to buy from "your own store"—especially those items you are already purchasing from somewhere else. Remember, however, purchasing from your own store is TOTALLY OPTIONAL and NOT a requirement to run your SFI business.
Q: How does SFI compare to similar business opportunities?
A: See for yourself; download our comparison chart.
Q: I have no experience. Can I really succeed with SFI?
A: There are no guarantees, of course, but people of every age, from every part of the world, and from every background and walk of life are making it in SFI today. SFI was designed for the "little guy"! If you have the desire, you can succeed with SFI.
Q: What kind of people make good affiliates?
A: Friendly, positive, self-motivated people with a vision of the future and who are teachable and willing to learn. No experience is necessary. If you want to be part of the Internet revolution and build an exciting, profitable, global business, you'll LOVE SFI!
Q: Is SFI a "real" business?
A: It's very real. SFI is part of a growing global industry with annual gross revenues estimated at over $100 billlion, involving major multinational corporations and tens of millions of independent business people in every country of the world.
Q: I really would like to get serious building an SFI business, but I just don't have the time. What should I do?
A: That's precisely why you should do SFI. Besides creating financial freedom, SFI has been specifically designed to create personal freedom for you so you can do all the things in life you really want to do but don't have the time for now.

Your SFI affiliateship automatically includes a TC membership with access to thousands of products, sales tools, and more. You can browse the entire TripleClicks.com product line HERE.
Q: Do I have to sell products door-to-door, make phone calls, hold parties, or attend meetings?
A: Only if you wish to. One of the greatest features of SFI is that success can be achieved using a variety of methods. You choose the methods with which YOU are comfortable, whether Internet marketing, direct mail, telemarketing, meetings, flea markets, in-home parties, or other methods. For methods on sponsoring affiliates, click here. For methods on referring TripleClicks members, click here.
Q: Do I have to stock and deliver products?
A: Only if you wish to. As an SFI affiliate, your members can order everything direct from SFI through its exclusive online store, TripleClicks.com. SFI tracks your commissions and automatically sends you your commission. SFI also handles all payment processing for your customers, product shipment, customer service, returns, refunds, etc.—all at no cost to you. For tips on attracting members, see this list of Member Referral Methods.
Q: Is SFI a "pyramid scheme?"
A: Definitely not. In pyramid schemes, income is generated solely on the process of recruiting others into the pyramid who pay a fee to get in. Sometimes a product or service of questionable value is involved (one that is never retailed to the general public). However, generally what you're buying is the right to recruit others into the scheme. This is illegal. Also, in pyramid schemes, those who get in first and who are at the top of the pyramid win, while most everyone else loses.
In SFI, on the other hand, there is NO COST required to participate, and affiliates are paid ONLY on product movement (both at wholesale and retail)—never on recruiting. And, unlike illegal pyramids, in SFI, no matter where you're positioned in the network or when you join, you can advance to the very highest income levels and even earn more income than those above you in the network.
Q: I've tried businesses like SFI before and it didn't work for me.
A: Let's say you've just moved into a new city, and you decided to go out to eat that evening. Unfortunately, the food at the restaurant you picked turned out to be horrible. But just because of this one bad experience, you surely wouldn't swear off eating at all the other restaurants in the city, would you? Of course not! It's the same thing here. You just need to link up with the right company—a company like SFI.
Q: Isn't having a traditional job safer than going into business for myself?
A: That depends on your definition of "safe." In the United States, statistics show that out of every 100 people who start in the working world at age 20, only five will be financially independent by age 65. Undoubtedly, you want to be in that top five! Unfortunately, the odds are stacked heavily against you…unless you create an independent source of income, a business of your own that is limited only by your own desire and ability—a business like SFI.
Q: SFI is confusing to me. Is there a Web page I can access that will break it down for me?
A: Yes. We suggest The Essence Of SFI.
Q: What if I've got more questions about SFI?
A: Check out the Affiliate Support Line.
Q: What should I do next?
A: If you haven't reviewed your To-Do List at your SFI homepage, take a few moments and do so now. The actions listed there will provide you with direction, links to marketing methods and aids, training articles, and much more.
