Getting Started - Versa Points

Introduction to VersaPoints

What are VersaPoints?  

VersaPoints (VP) are points that are awarded to you for doing various actions that support the growth and success of your SFI business.  When you joined SFI, for example, you had the opportunity to earn hundreds of VP for confirming your email address, for uploading your account photo, etc.  And there are dozens of other actions that you can do monthly to earn thousands of VersaPoints (see your TO DO list for a complete list of available actions that earn you VP).

Why VersaPoints are important:

1. VersaPoints are used as the primary method for determining your rank in SFI.  The more VP you collect, the higher your rank in SFI can go and the more benefits become available to you.  To review the benefits of each rank, see our Benefits Chart.

2. If you're still in your first year in SFI, VersaPoints are also important because collecting the most VP is the objective of the E365 contest (a contest for all SFI affiliates in which you can share in over $100,000 dollars in cash and prizes).  Learn more about E365 HERE.

3. VersaPoints are the key to our "Power Rank" program. Power Rank allows you to see how you stack up amongst your fellow SFI'ers—in your class, in your country, and overall, too.  The more points you collect, the higher your Power Rank can go and the more prestigious your Power Rank badge will be.  Check out the current Power Rank Leaderboard and see where YOU are positioned now HERE.

TIP: Your current VersaPoints totals (for today, this month, last month, and all-time) are available 24 hours a day on your Scoreboard tab.

TIP: You can collect unlimited VersaPoints at no cost each month.  See: 12+ ways you can earn VersaPoints for free for more information.

SFI Basics

Success starts here

Every successful program has a core component.  In SFI, the core is the 15 "daily action tabs" on your Affiliate Center homepage.

Each of the 15 tabs provide vital knowledge and information–customized just for you.  Day by day, these 15 tabs will teach and guide you how to become a highly successful SFI affiliate.  But it's absolutely essential that you thoroughly read, digest, and, most importantly, consistently APPLY the information to your business.  We cannot stress this enough!  Just scanning the information will get you nowhere.  If you want to build a profitable SFI business, you MUST use and apply the knowledge you're receiving.

Valuable bonuses too!

As you go through the 15 action tabs each day, you'll also be picking up valuable benefits!  For 12 of the action tabs, you can earn 1 VersaPoint each day. We'll go into more details in later lessons about VersaPoints...but for now just know that VPs help determine your rank in SFI and associated bonuses.  You can also pick up free valuable extra entries in the Daily Grand drawing to win great business-building prizes.

The most important thing

In the following LaunchPad lessons (and from other channels too), a lot of information is coming your way.  Don't worry, you'll get the hang of everything soon enough, but whatever you do, don't forget what this lesson has told you:

1. Review your action tabs every day
2. Apply what you learn

If you do nothing but these two actions, success is virtually guaranteed.  So set a goal for yourself NOW to do these two actions every day, starting today!

...and REMEMBER:

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you!

If you are determined to learn, no one can STOP you!

A SIMPLE BUSINESS STRATEGY

At SFI, we're aiming for nothing less than revolutionizing the field of network marketing and casting wide the gates of financial success for every person wishing to start a business of their own, generate ongoing income, and improve their lives and their futures. This is about much more than working just to pay your bills. This is about developing a "wealth mindset."

As Jim Rohn, American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker, said:

Why not work full time on your job and part time on your fortune? And what a feeling you’ll have when you can honestly say, “I’m working to become wealthy. I’m not just working to pay my bills.” When you have a wealth plan, you’ll be so motivated that you’ll have a hard time going to bed at night.

Historically, this dream has eluded many who didn't understand that creating wealth is as much a matter of a good "wealth mindset" and proper motivation as it is a set of practical marketing strategies and skills. Consequently, many of these people simply got bogged down in areas they were uninterested or ineffective in–like "selling stuff"–and eventually quit trying altogether.

But we're committed to move beyond these limitations with the SFI Affiliate Program and to help you create a philosophy of success! 

Supported by our Zing Network of games, auctions, rewards programs, and online shopping, we've boiled down your SFI business action plan to just ONE main strategy: REFER MEMBERS. 

That's it.

OK...here's a bit more detail: Simply refer your contacts to any Zing Network site you wish. Every time one of your prospects signs up as a free Zing Member, they become your Personally Referred Member (PRM)–and YOU can then earn sales commissions on ALL their purchases from any Zing site for life!

Why would they wish to become a Zing Member? The benefits, of course! Our Zing Network includes an array of gaming, auction, reward, and shopping sites designed to appeal to just about anyone. And as an Affiliate, you can simply follow your interests to promote the Zing site that you're most passionate about. Interested in fun online games? Promote free Eager Zebra Games. Like penny auctions? Spread the word about Pricebenders Auctions. Want to promote your local area businesses? Introduce merchants to the Localvantia search engine and encourage prospective customers to shop at participating stores for loyalty rewards. Think that digital reward tokens (that can be exchanged for silver, Bitcoin, gift cards, and more) will attract the most members? Direct your prospects to our Rewardical site. 

But here's where the REAL power of the SFI Affiliate program kicks in: Once your prospect signs up for free, they now become Zing Members and have instant access to ALL Zing sites (using the same login credentials)! That means that for every TCreditthey purchase to bid at a Pricebenders Auction or play an Eager Zebra game, YOU earn a commission. For every purchase they make at TripleClicks.com, YOU earn a commission. And if they decide to become an SFI Affiliate themselves, YOU boost your potential earning power even more and tap into even more income streams!

Sounds good, right? Now, let's get to some details...
