let's just say at the end of the month the pool is $100,000 and there are 10,000 EA. This divided up would give everyone $10/share right? now if I had my 3 shares (from EE, being EA, and standing order) would I get $30? If not, then what is the point of an EE and standing order share if you're just splitting the executive bonus from being an EA? What is the point in buying an EE share for $35?
I'm just trying to grasp how these shares work. Thanks for your time and understanding. I will probably understand it better when I see my first commission statement.

Ok, let's see....

Don't look at EE and EA as connected. The only way the are connected is that being an EA gets you an extra EE share. Other than that, they have nothing to do with each other.

EA is a rank within SFI. It awards you higher commissions for your own selling efforts and comes with some extras such as the Executive Bonus. When your thinking about EA and specificly the Executive Bonus, don't even think about EE at all.

You understood correctly that the revenue is split between all EA's. That much is true. But you get exactly the same amount as every other EA from that Executive Bonus pool. Nothing is going to affect that value other than how well MaxMalls and TripleClicks did that month. Period. So with the example you used, you would indeed get $10.00. Period. If you have 1 EE share or 10000 EE shares, you would get $10.00 from the Executive Bonus (based on your example).

You can earn lots of additional commissions from both your own marketing of products from TC and from the efforts of any of your affiliates who are marketing TC products. In fact, that is where almost all of your money will come from. In other words...you have:

1) Customers at TC which earn you commissions.

2) You have Affiliates with their own customers that earn you commissions (as well as a little from the purchases that your affiliates make.)

To get those things, you need to advertise. That is how you get new customers and affiliates.

Now, the EE coop is just some advertising that SFI does on your behalf.

Each month, the efforts of the EE coop and SFI produce new affiliates and TC customers. These new people have no official sponsor. So...SFI "gives" them to people who are participating in the EE coop. These new affiliates and customers are distributed based on the number of shares you own. Here is an example (with nice, simple numbers):

The coop's efforts produce 10 new customers and 20 new affiliates this month.

I have 3 EE shares, You have 3 EE shares and Bob has 4 EE shares. So these new affiliates and customers would be distributed SOMEWHAT like this:

I get 3 Customers and 6 Affiliates. ( 3 shares )

You get 3 Customers and 6 Affiliates. ( 3 shares )

Bob gets 4 Customers and 8 Affiliates. ( 4 shares )

These new members are treated EXACTLY as though you had advertised and referred or sponsored them yourself. They do not change your Executive Bonus but they COULD buy things or refer their own customers and THAT would increase your earnings.

To sum up:

We earn commissions from TC sales.
We earn commissions from the efforts of our Affiliates.
EE helps us get new customers and Affiliates.

Executive Bonus is divided EVENLY between all EA's (regardless of all other variables.)

Keep in mind that I used made up numbers that are not even close to realistic. But the concept is close enough to what is actually happening. I hope this helps clear some things up and I invite better teachers than myself to contribute their thoughts.
