New TC Banners for your site!

The ECA program is in full swing and thousands of new products are constantly flowing into TripleClicks. With the store growing stronger every day, there's never been a better time to get the word out about the deals, products, and services at TC.

To help you promote TC, we've launched five new banners designed to market the store to bargain hunters and online consumers around the world (Two of the five shown above).

To use the new banners, just log in to the SFI Affiliate Center, go to the "Banners For Referring TripleClicks Members" page in the Member Referral Aids section, and click "TC general ad banners." Follow the easy directions to install the banner on your site or blog.

By the way, if you haven't already installed a TC banner on your site, you can earn 100 VP for installing a TripleClicks banner on your Website or blog. See the VP Scoreboard for details.

SFI Fastrack

Effective today, we have launched a new program for new affiliates called Fast-Track. Fast-Track awards special bonuses to any new affiliate who joins the TripleClicks Booster Club within their first 15 days in SFI.

These bonuses include an allotment of co-sponsored affiliates (CSAs) and free VersaPoints. Additional bonuses may also be added in the future. For more details on the current Fast-Track bonuses, click HERE.

Note that Fast-Track REPLACES the former "1500 points-in-15-days" program. However, if you joined SFI in the last 15 days, you are eligible for the rewards of BOTH programs. In other words, if you accumulate 1500 points by your 15th day, you'll receive the rewards of that program. And if you also join the TC Booster Club within the 15 days, you'll receive the rewards of that new program as well.


"Why the change?"

As we talk about in LaunchPad lesson #7, SFI's success–and your success as an SFI affiliate–is tied directly to the success of TC. SFI goes as TC goes!

Hence, it only makes sense to focus new affiliates on TC. It should also mean bigger commission checks because the Booster Club creates buyers, not just point accumulation.

By the way, if you are not already a TC Booster Club member yourself, what are you waiting for?! Remember, everyone you are the sponsor of and/or Team Leader for is aware of your Booster Club membership (or lack thereof). If you want everyone in your group in the Booster Club, make sure YOU are also a member. They are following your lead!!

Tell-A-Friend feature added to TripleClicks

TripleClicks now includes a cool "viral marketing" function. It works like this: Anyone browsing the TC site can now submit the email addresses of friends and family members. Upon submission, we send out a special e-mail invitation to become a TripleClicks Member.

To check it out (and/or try it out), first log in at TripleClicks.com (using your SFI ID and password).

Then go to: https://www.tripleclicks.com/tell_a_friend.php

Note: Currently, there is just one link to this page, located on our new Member Benefits page. However, as we begin rolling out our new modules and site redesign, there will be links to the Tell-A-Friend page in numerous locations. It will be readily available from everywhere on the site!

2010 has arrived and we couldn't be more excited!

Later this month, we'll be unveiling the new ECA (E-Commerce Associates) program, which is designed to bring MILLIONS of quality and excellent-priced products to TripleClicks from thousands of companies from around the world. The ECA program may very well turn out to be THE BIGGEST addition to SFI in its 11+ year history!

But that's just the beginning. Dozens of major new additions are on their way to TripleClicks (see a sneak peek of just some of them HERE). We've also got new SFI training and marketing videos coming and MUCH, MUCH MORE.

If you haven't done so already, make a resolution TODAY to put a major focus on your SFI business in 2010. A year from now we think you're going to be VERY happy you did!

Awarding of special SFI Co-Sponsorships

Co-Sponsorships for August's VP Rewards (Top 200) and for August 2500 point earners are now being assigned. The entire process may take up to 24 hours. Co-Sponsorships you've qualified for will appear in your genealogy in GREEN.

Special note #1
Assignments will appear one by one over the next several hours. You may not have your TOTAL assignments for 24 hours.

Special note #2
August commissions will be online immediately following the completion of the awarding of these special Co-Sponsorships. This is so you are able to receive Co-Sponsorship commissions on this August commissions run.

UPDATE: THE FOLLOWING TEXT WAS ADDED 9/11/09 AT 4:40 PM


We've been receiving several questions about co-sponsorships received. Since you may have similar questions, we've prepared the following Q&A's:

Q: Should I contact the co-sponsorships I've received?
A: One of the reasons we created the co-sponsorship program is so that every affiliate has another support member to assist them. So, yes, we encourage you to reach out to the co-sponsorship affiliates you've been assigned, especially if their sponsor is not actively supporting them.

Q: Where can I find their email addresses so I can email them?
A: You'll find these on your genealogy, in the COMMUNICATION format screen. Or, just mouse-over the envelope icon on any format screen.

Q: Some of the co-sponsorships I receive show as inactive and/or they have not confirmed their registration. Why give me these? Why didn't you purge these people out first?
A: We did a major purge just a short while ago, in May 2009. Purging is a major task that must be undertaken with much care and consideration. We did not feel it was time to do a major purge again so close to the one we just performed.

Q: Can I ignore inactive/non-confirmed co-sponsorships?
A: Yes, you can do this by using the CONDENSED version of your genealogy. See: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports.sfi

But make SURE you consider this:

Many ISPs block or junk emails from SFI --meaning we can't get through to them. Indeed, they may have never received our welcome letter or even our emails with the registration confirmation link! From their viewpoint, they signed up with SFI and never ever heard from us!

YOU, however, probably can get through by emailing to them directly! YOU can make all the difference. YOU can convert inactive affiliates to active. YOU can get them to confirm their registration (just have them to log in at the Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com) and they will be provided with the link to confirm their registration).

Q: Shouldn't the sponsor have already done this?
A: Yes, they SHOULD have! But, unfortunately, many sponsors do not do what they're supposed to do --which may have much to do with the lack of activity you see on some of the affiliates you received. So you may have a great opportunity in front of you.

Q: What should I say in my email to them?
A: Here's some suggested text. Use what you'd like and personalize as you wish:

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

Hi FirstName,

My name is FirstName LastName and I've recently been appointed as your SFI co-sponsor.

What's a co-sponsor? This is a brand new position SFI created last month. As your co-sponsor, I'm here to assist you and support you in building your SFI business.

By the way, co-sponsors aren't the only thing that's new at SFI. If you haven't looked at SFI lately, you definitely need to check them out again! With the changes made in August, SFI is exploding with growth. SFI is now much simpler, easier, and more profitable than ever before. I LOVE what they've done!

You can read about all the exciting August announcements at news.sfimg.com (see August 5th news and the first and second week "report cards").

You'll also want to log in at the SFI Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com). When you get there, you'll see the new SFI Homepage, which now features a to-do list personalized just for you. This makes everything so simple because all you have to do is start completing the tasks on your to-do list. Each task earns you points and positions you for higher and higher payouts!

That's it for now. Be sure to log in at the SFI Affiliate Center as soon as you can, and if I can answer any questions or assist you in any way, just let me know.

I look forward to working with you!

Your First & Last Name
You SFI title (e.g. SFI Silver Team Leader)
Your contact information (e.g. email, phone, IM)
