This month's bestseller: commissions from other people selling

Every month I look through my statistics to see where my income is coming from. This month my main income stream is from ECAs (E-commerce affiliates). How does this even work?
I go around looking for mom & pop stores. I approach them with the idea of selling online. I explain that it is entirely free, they get a FREE website for their store, they just have to load up pictures and info on their products and off you go. People order your product, they pay TripleClicks, you send the order and receive your money from TripleClicks.

The beauty of it is - and this is the reason why anyone selling a product or service should join - that there are millions of affiliates like me over the whole world who make their income promoting and selling products. So the ECA doesn't have to do any marketing, the affiliates will do that. Any affiliate can promote any product, but most affiliates choose niche markets and target their promotion and selling.




For me the point is that if I am the one referring (bringing in) the ECA I make commission on everything they sell - for life.  And this is precisely what has brought me most income in the month of December 2017. Not surprising maybe as lots of people buy Christmas gifts online.

I actually have not gone out looking for stores for quite a long time. Instead, I advertise. I have this list of thousands of websites where you can advertise for free. And then I have thought of a new idea: since I speak so many languages I should target the non-English speaking markets as well. Haven't done that yet.




To conclude: if you want to make money working from home, becoming either an ECA (if you have something to sell) or an affiliate at SFI is not a bad start. You don't have to give up your job (until you want to), just start it as a sideline.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SFI

Making money by working from home: the power of advertising

The single way the big earners at SFI make money ( I know this from the forum, where all kinds of topics are discussed, particularly how to increase sales and make more money) is ADVERTISING. Having said that, how do you advertise and particularly, where?

Everyone has their own favorites. One of my upline works with Autoresponders.This is a system in which you set up a landing page offering something for free. The visitor has to fill in an email address in order to receive this. The Autoresponder then sends a number of emails/letters which you have prepared yourself to this email address, I think it can be up to 25, and of course offers the information about whatever aspect of SFI you want to promote. Research has shown that a person on average has to see a message 7 times before reacting to it.

Many work with the social media. For this, you have to be active in the social media and have a rapport with your followers. You recommend something and they might buy it. This involves your "warm market" or the people that you already know. It does not work for me because I am not in the least active in the social media normally. SFI has many free banners available that you can use in the social media such as these:

What I do work with if I have the time is free advertising websites. There are many of these. You can google "free advertising" or do as I did, bought a list of free advertising websites. It cost me nothing because  I used the Member Reward Points that I automatically collect when I do my daily activities on the website. I have even used these to buy physical products which I then review on my blog about health and fitness, TopCat's TopFit , and promote if they are good.

I have been going through the list that I have and only a few % are really active and usable. If you would become a member of my team by joining SFI for free, I will share this whittled-down active list with you; most people would be willing to pay for such a list. Most sites carry advertisements for a month and then you have to renew them. But all are for free, so if you have no reactions it has only cost you a little time. Do remember to use Key Track Codes so you  know which of your advertisements is successful. There is a feature for that on the SFI website. No other program offers so many free training and marketing tools. At least not that I have seen.

Then there is real life advertising: in magazines, radio, tv; these generally cost. What I find useful is hanging up brochures in gyms, at supermarkets and other public areas where it is allowed.
SFI has many printable brochures for products (the website even generates these for you); example:

 tripleclicks.com

jewelry sets gold plated rhinestone Enamel necklace earring for women— €16.12 (Save 28%!)

jewelry sets gold plated rhinestone Enamel necklace earring for women

Description: Material: alloy with gold plated,rhinestone.Enamel Color: as the picture Item: YB package: 1set=1 necklace+1earring Size: as the picture

19.9 USD InStock

This is the banner, but the website can generate a printable flyer as well.  SFI has more than 10,000 products to choose from in all possible categories, so there will always be something of interest to whatever place you think of advertising. Then there are splash pages and e-cards and car magnets.

What I haven't tried yet but am going to, is concentrating on the garage sale that TripleClicks is running. I and every other affiliate can freely advertise our secondhand stuff. This would be interesting to people holding garage sales and people selling secondhand stuff, right?

So if you have a local advertising site in say, Newby, Oklahoma you can look for the garage sale department if there is one. Once people are online to sell, they will have a look at the other stuff SFI and TripleClicks are offering and maybe become interested in the auctions, the games or selling TC products.

Good luck!

Selling online: where I get most of my commissions from

I've been on vacation for a while, but now I am back on track and thought I would find out and write a post on how I earn my commissions. I have been doing this for almost a year now and I have tried out all the different ways of earning money with SFI and here is how I get most of my earnings (and believe me, it is not as all as I expected :)):

1. The TripleClicks Executive Pool, strange enough. This I only receive in those months that I make Team Leader, which again is coupled to how many VPs I have made, which is coupled to all activities that I do at SFI. The amount of VPs I have determines how much I earn of this pool. Since I have a standing order (SO) which automatically makes me EA I earn 1500 VP at least and then about 360 from doing my dailies; if I decide to make Bronze Team Leader (for various perks such as extra CSAs added to my team) I often buy traffic to this blog and my website, so then I come up to 3000 VP a month. How much this amounts to in cash depends on the size of the pool and the number of VPs we altogether have as affiliates.



2. CSAs commissions; or indirect commissions. These come from activities/sales made by my CSAs (co-sponsored affiliates; I am not their main sponsor). Incredible that this is my second largest source of income.

3. Milestone Shares: this is a bonus program in which I receive extra shares from the TripleClicks Executive Pool coupled to the amount of VPs I earn. I only receive these when I make Team Leader. In order to make Team Leader in a month, I need to make 3000 VPs and sponsor at least 5 affiliates (I have about 400 so that is no problem).

4. Direct commissions: this is from sales at TripleClicks. As for income, this actually comes only in the 4th place! I do hope that I will be able to increase this though, by selling more. I am particularly keen on selling the PrivacyMaxx program, because of the commission volume and the chance that it will be a repeat order after 1/2/3 years.



I have had no income yet from:
- ECA referral, although I now have a number of PRMs (personally referred members) of which I hope some will become active ECAs. If they start selling, I start earning.
- PSA activity, meaning my direct sponsored affiliates; none of the 25 I have are active. These are therefore people that sign up thinking they have found a get-rich-quick scheme, look around a bit and then lose interest. If you plan on signing up, give it at least a year!
- The Pay per Action program; this means that you earn up to $10 if you can come up with signups that are active. However I have looked at the rules for this and decided I would rather keep them to myself if they are active, because that will potentially give me more income.
