Introduction to Internet Sales in SFI

If you become an SFI Affiliate, you’re partnered with one of the fastest growing and most popular e-commerce platforms on the Web today, the Zing Network. As discussed in more details at the LaunchPad Lessons, Zing sites such as TripleClicks.com, Rewardical.com, and Flexxity.com offer tens of thousands of products and services in a variety of categories from trusted sellers, merchants, and providers around the world. Astro Auctions, Pricebenders, and Eager Zebra Games offer members fun, excitement, and cool prizes. And ECommergy helps online entrepreneurs around the world become ecommerce pros and achieve success. At Zing, there's truly something for everyone—and that makes online selling both lucrative and fun!

But what if you're not a natural salesperson? What if you don’t have any experience in advertising on the Internet?

Welcome to SFI

Here, you’ll learn everything you need to know! In fact, you're already off to a good start just by reading these LaunchPad lessons. Perhaps the most surprising thing you'll learn is that it's really pretty easy to get started marketing your business right away...

A basic marketing method:

Simply point your potential customers to one of your Zing Network property Gateway links—embedded with your SFI Affiliate ID—as shown below:
    • TripleClicks Main Page
    https://www.tripleclicks.com/12177280
  • Rewardical
    https://www.sfi4.com/12177280/rwgw
    • ECommergy
    https://www.sfi4.com/12177280/ec
    • Astro Auctions
    https://www.sfi4.com/12177280/Astro
    • Eager Zebra
    https://www.tripleclicks.com/12177280/EagerZebra

These Gateways will introduce your prospective members to the given property you've chosen to promote. Any prospective customer who signs up (for free) is automatically registered as your own Personally Referred Member (PRM), and you will earn commissions whenever they make a qualified purchase at any Zing Network site...for life!

Another easy marketing method:

If you'd like a more targeted approach, try promoting a specific product to your audience.
For example:

    1. After logging into TripleClicks.com, click the SHOP option at the top of the page, and browse the store's product listings for one you think your potential customers would like.

    2. On that product's details page, click the SFI Toolbox button for a special "Promote this listing" link that includes your SFI ID number so you’re credited with commissions earned from any sales. Just copy and paste that link in your emails, social media posts, etc. You can also click the Create Banner link for a product banner you can use on your blog or third-party websites. NOTE: You can learn more about the SFI Toolbox in this lesson.

    3. Each time someone clicks your link (or banner) and signs up for free, they automatically become your Personally Referred Member (PRM). And when they purchase the product—and EVERY TIME thereafter that they purchase ANY qualified product at any Zing site—YOU earn a Commission!
What's more, your work is now done! SFI takes care of processing your PRM's payment, fulfills the order, sends the product directly to your customer—all at no cost to you! And, of course, they email you each time you make a sale so you always know how much you've earned.

Making Money with SFI

As an affiliate, you can make money with SFI in a multiple of ways. In this lesson, however, you're going to learn about the three basic ways you can earn commissions* in the SFI program.

1. Direct Commissions (DC)

✔ Every time one of your personally referred members (PRM) purchases a product at a Zing Network site (Flexxity.com, Rewardical.com, TripleClicks.com, for example), you earn up to 50% of what we call the "Commission Volume" or "CV" for that product!
AND...

✔ Every time one of your personally sponsored affiliates (PSA)* purchases a product at one of our sites, you earn up to 50% CV for that product.
 
Earnings Example: An order is placed by one of your PRMs that has $28 CV. You can earn a $14 Direct Commission (50% of $28).

Now, what's CV, you ask? It's simply the maximum amount of commissions paid out on a given product/service. Every qualified product/service for sale at a Zing Network site has a CV amount attached. To view each product's CV information, just log into Flexxity.com, TripleClicks.com, etc, go to an item's details page, and click the SFI tab.

And once you sign up a member or affiliate, they become your customer for life!* SFI takes care of all order processing, product shipments, and customer service at no cost to you, and pays you up to a 50% direct commission on every order placed by your members and affiliates for life*.

What's more, SFI makes generating sales as easy as possible. One simple method you can use right now is to simply start referring your friends, associates, and family to the TripleClicks (TC) store using your TripleClicks Gateway. This link will drop off your prospective members at the main TC homepage and ensure you get credited with any signups and purchases:
https://www.tripleclicks.com/12177280/

We will be covering other sales methods and information in the LaunchPad lessons just ahead. Note that many of the methods are 100% FREE, can be done entirely on the Internet (no face-to-face selling), and can be put into action within minutes!

*You can continue to earn commissions so long as you remain an active SFI affiliate.

2. Co-Sponsor Commissions (CSC)

Similar to a Sponsor, a Co-Sponsor shares in the financial benefits and support responsibilities of the affiliates to whom he/she is the assigned as Co-Sponsor. And as such, you can earn up to 10% of the CV on all purchases made by your Co-Sponsored Affiliates (CSAs). You can begin receiving CSAs each month once you attain the rank of Level 5 Builder. Learn more about CSAs HERE.

Monthly Earnings Example: You have 50 CSAs. Their combined orders for the month are worth a total of $600 in CV. You earn up to $60 in CSCs (10% of $600).

3. Generation Override Commissions (GOC)

GOC lets you earn lucrative commissions on persons that the affiliates in your group refer! This is a unique feature of SFI and lets you earn up to 5% CV overrides on up to a whopping TWELVE generations of affiliates in your team—BOTH on personal purchases and the retail sales they generate!

Monthly Earnings Example: You have 400 affiliates in your group sponsored by your own PSAs. Their combined orders for the month are worth $3000 in CV. You earn up to $150 in Generation Override Commissions (5% of $3000).

To summarize, there are the three BASIC ways to earn in SFI:
1. Direct Commissions
2. Co-Sponsor Commissions (CSC)  
3. Generation Override Commissions (GOC)

But your SFI earnings power doesn't end there! We'll reveal even more SFI income streams and methods you can use to BOOST your commissions in upcoming LaunchPad lessons—so be sure to read on!
