The Affiliate Center and Your Daily VP Points

If you want to be successful as an SFI Affiliate, you need to log in to the Affiliate Center every day and earn your VP points for the day. To get there, click on the left side of the big blue banner at the top of your screen. You need to make a habit of this. The world won't end if you miss a day, but if you are serious about turning SFI into a profitable business, this should be a daily routine. It's a good idea to bookmark the Affiliate Center, too. 

The Affiliate Center has a few different parts to it. Below your big blue banner, there are twelve tabs. Each of these tabs will give you an overview of a different section of your business. You can earn 11 VP a day here with about 15-20 minutes of your time. More importantly, you will be keeping up-to-date with what's happening and what you should be doing every day.

Each tab will be in red at the beginning of the day. After you have looked at the information under each tab, you need to click on the blue banner at the bottom of the page to get your VP, showing that you've reviewed that information. If you get your 10 VP for the day, you will get a Daily Versapoints badge. You will get a new badge if you go for 10, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days in a row.

The Alert tab gives you the latest news, the latest forum posts, and any other special alerts you need to pay attention to.

The To-Do List will tell you what to do next. The daily actions include visiting each tab on your homepage as well as checking out the latest items at TripleClicks. You can also earn VP for bidding in the Pricebender penny auctions or being a Top 20 Enroller. (These are the top 20 affiliates that had the most people sign up under them the day before.)

The Tips tab gives you a Tip of the Day and a few other inspirational thoughts. These can be really powerful ideas, and they can help you motivate and drive you to success.

The Stream tab gives you communications from SFI corporate, your sponsors, your a2a network, and any ECAs you have connected with.

The TripleClicks tab shows you the Deal of the Day, upcoming Pricebender auctions, and other TripleClicks information.

The Scoreboard tab keeps track of your VP point score and how much money you've made so far this month.

The A2A tab shows messages from your a2a network, recommends friends for you, and shows new a2a members. It also has a search function, which allows you to find other SFI affiliates who are close to you or share your language. 

The Movers tab shows your most active affiliates. This is very valuable, since you can see your affiliates who are most serious about making their business work. These are the affiliates you want to connect with and guide them to duplicate your results.

The Growth tab shows the Global Growth Report for SFI and TripleClicks. This is a great place to see who the most successful affiliates and Team Leaders are.

The Goals tab shows your personal goals for SFI. You don't need to visit this tab every day for VP, but it is good to look at it once in awhile to remind yourself what you are working toward!

The Ask SC tab is next. People ask questions to the SFI Community, and we vote on the answers. In order to get your VP point for this tab, you need to click on the blue "Go" button and rate ten answers. These are some of the most pertinent questions asked in the forums, and there is a lot of good information to learn here. After you have rated 10 answers, you earn your VP. If you rate another 20 answers, you will earn an extra entry in the Daily Grand drawing.

The Win It! tab is where you can enter the Daily Grand. You get one entry for your first 10 VP points. Earn a second entry if you earn 20 VP in a day. You can also earn two more entries every day if you have a standing order (of at least 1500VP). They draw 100 winners every day.

 Finally, you should check out the latest items at TripleClicks. You get two points a day for doing this.

If you are still in your first 30 days, visit LaunchPad and read your new lesson. (It's on the left side of the big blue banner at the top, under your account info.) Don't forget to answer the question at the end to earn your 15 VP points.

You should do this much every day. Depending on how much more time you have available, and how much effort you can put into your business, you should also spend more time on the SFI site learning as much as you can. The more you learn, the better you can explain to your friends, family, and downline affiliates the power behind the SFI system. 

Make a habit of mentioning SFI to at least one person a day. Put up free internet classified ads. Put your affiliate link in your signature on any forums you visit. Here are more methods for sponsoring affiliates.

A note about VP: Once you have earned enough VP to be an Executive Affiliate, you should save your one-time action points for the following month. It is easy to get your points the first month, but it is harder the following months, unless you set up a standing order. More on that coming up.
