The FREE and Easy Way To Be EA!

Greetings!

I have a challenge for you all!

We all know that no commissions are earned unless products are being sold. We all know that no company can stay in business without products being sold. We also know that every SFI product we buy/sell increases our own SVP! Also we know that the more sales SFI makes, the higher everyone's pool shares and bonuses!

Hence, here is my challenge!

I am going through SFI's list of products and services and and finding every little product or service that SFI offers that I am already spending money on somewhere else and simply purchasing them from SFI instead. I challenge every SFI Affiliate who is serious about this opportunity to do the same! Products like the Veriuni soap and shampoo, household cleaners, VOIP phone service or local phone service and long distance, wireless cell phone service, Internet Service Provider, vitamins, coffee, domain names, magazine subscriptions etc. all of these most of us are already using every month anyway.

We need to support SFI! In doing this, we will all increase SFI's sales and our own SVP at the same time! More sales means higher bonuses and pool shares! We're all in this together! Let's all do our part and make this work for everyone!

I'll be checking back to see who has accepted my challenge! Let's make SFI truly great! Buy SFI!

Thumbs up Challenge Accepted

Wealth4Life, we accept your challenge. We don't think it's much of a challenge, though. As your message makes clear, it's really a no-brainer. If you or your significant other owned a hardware store, you wouldn't buy nails at Home Depot. Likewise, it makes no sense to buy soap, cleaning products, or anything else that you sell in your own Veriuni store from one of your competitors. You've hit the nail on the head, my friend.

Rich and Jamy, URWinners!

Thanks!

I wish more affiliates shared our view on this. I honestly believe that most people can qualify as EA every month just by "switching where they shop." Let's get the word out! Rich and Jamy, you're awesome!

Who else accepts the challenge?

I agree that more retailing is the only way we're going to increase our Executive Bonus, among others.
I wish I could do just what you folks in the U.S.A are doing, 'buying from your own store'. But it's not so easy for us international affiliates. When I joined, I thought, 'Great, I'll buy a magazine subscription and promote the magazines'. Then I found that [apart from the digital version of 'Revenue'] none of the magazines were available outside the U.S.
The Veriuni personal care and cleaning products look great too. My home city was voted as having the 'greenest' consumers in the U.K. in a recent poll. I bet I could sell loads of products if, say, there was a European distribution centre for Veriuni. But current shipping costs and times mean it's just not a viable proposition at present.
I've been thinking about this recently. With so many international affiliates coming on board, there needs to be easier ways for them to retail. Maybe I just don't 'get' NiceOffers, but I really can't see it as the solution - there are no SFI affiliates within 100 miles of me to use any local vouchers or offers.
A while ago Gery mentioned some features 'in the pipeline' to promote retailing. I'd like to know what they'll be. In the meantime, if anyone has any bright ideas, I and I'm sure many other internationaL affiliates would be appreciative.

Hi Lesley,

I understand you're dilemma. If you will...let me make a few suggestions on the Nice Offers thing, as well as the other products & services...
Understandably, you may be in a remote area where there are not all that many SFI affiliates...Yet. But the internet is a "World Wide Money Making Tool"! You are not limited by your location. The only limits you have are what you put on yourself. Just because you are international does not mean you can't use both Nice Offers and any other product line that SFI offers to create an income.

What you may (or may not) be lacking is internet savvy and the knowledge to build a website to use to your advantage.

1.)Do a search on the DBoard and find some templates to build a website.
2.)Get your own Domain Name and Hosting through Great Domainia (if you are in need of SVP), or any other company that you like.
3.)Build a website that can be marketed in the USA & Canada to create the income and SVP you need. You can even use VeryVip to get 4 websites, 10SVP (your EA qualification each month)

SFI pays you in your own currency, so why not take advantage of the tools available to build your income in any country you choose? As a matter of fact, you don't even need your own website to market the products in the USA. All you have to do is Target your Marketing of the free gateways to the USA. Here's an Idea...

A.) Use the free SFI Gateways to start.
B.) As you build income, buy a domain to redirect to your free SFI Gateways.
C.) While that is bringing income to you...Learn how to build your own website.

You are not limited by anything anymore with the internet to be used as a tool.

Hope this helps!;)

Hi Lesley,

Apparently you do misunderstand how NiceOffers works. The coupons are not just for SFI affiliates to use. Let's say you are at work and you overhear one of your friends, who is not in SFI, talking about going to Paris for the weekend. Because you are an SFI affiliate, you know there is a hotel in Paris that is offering a discount. You direct your friend to the page for that coupon. He prints out the coupon and uses it to save some money, the hotel gets his business and you get a portion of the bounty for referring him. Everybody wins!

Since there are no affiliates within 100 miles of you, it seems that you have a 100 mile radius to work with to get local merchants signed up in NOC all by yourself. Once you get several merchants signed up, make a list and put that list on a flyer. You can then post the flyer on bulletin boards, pass them out or even take out a weekly ad in a local newspaper letting people know that the list of merchants are offering coupons at NiceOffers. Pretty soon you'll be making money on all the coupons that are being used and you can expand past your 100 mile radius.

Keep in mind, that you are not restricted to just local merchants. You can sign up merchants from any where in the world. That's what makes NiceOffers so "Nice".

A Challenge....

Thanks Michelle and Paul for your prompt replies, lots of food for thought there! [BTW, I'm not in a 'remote area', I live in a city of 250,000 people, but seem to be the only SFI affiliate!]
I do realise I can market to the USA, and thanks Michelle for the tips on that. It's just that it's frustrating to be an EA and to have the right to wholesale pricing, but not to be able to take delivery of non-digital products for resale in my own locality.

Replacement Buying with a Twist!

Replacement buying or buying products you from yourself is one of the basic concepts of affiliate marketing. Afterall, it only makes sense to buy products from your own business. Another basic concept of affilate marketing is to offer your opportunity to other people and teach them to buy from themselves, also known as duplication. This builds your business team and creates a constant flow of buying and selling products thereby, producing profits, commissions, and bonuses. So, here is an idea which will not only ensure products are being bought and sold from your business but, also will build your business team. I call it Replacement buying with a twist.

If the general idea of affiliate marketing is to buy and sell products and teach others to do the same, instead of buying from yourself and only helping yourself, why not buy products from the people you sponsor. By doing so, not only are you generating sales but, you are also creating Executive Affilates below you, building your team, and encouraging those you sponsor to build their team. You could even teach the people you sponsor to buy from you hence, ensuring everybody is EA,generating sales, and team building. And you know what that means. Money, Money, Money and Bonus, Bonus, Bonus!

I find this an interesting concept... Not sure if it would be allowed. It wouldn't be considered a retail sale, as you are an affiliate, so your new affiliate would not get the retail commission. You would be paying full retail price for your products instead of the wholesale pricing... So I am not sure if it would be worth it or how it would really play out. Can a moderator clarify?

First, SFI requires that affiliates purchase from the affiliate store located at sfimg.com. So this is not the way the program is designed to work.

Second, buy making your purchases through your affiliates, 80% of the CV is removed from the commission payout to the powerline.

Third, you are now paying retail, when you could be buying wholesale. This would increase your cost tremendously.

Fourth, if your affiliates are buying from you, they are not buying from their downline and are not duplicating.

Even with executive matches, this would increase the cost of your purchase.

I think the idea of changing where you shop is a valuable one. But the most effective and cheapest way to hit EA is of course to change where other people shop :) I have a list of churches and public buildings, as well as professional businesses, interested in the cleaners. I have a number of friends interested in the nutritional products.

If just one person buys a bottle of Liquid Nutrition every month, my SVP will be covered. Of course, I cover it myself because I like the product, but a lot of affiliates who are reluctant to make that first purchase may find it a more comfortable strategy to start with a single monthly sale that sets up their EA position. It's less reliable, but it does open the possibility for more actual commissions.

Hello all,

Interesting reading! I am definitely in, I'm in the middle of moving places but as soon as I have a fixed address I will try to start ordering some of the products. I have no experience yet with the delivery time to Europe, but I'll find out I guess. Shipping costs appear to be high, but with the current Euro/Dollar rate, we do have some advantages at the moment, so I'm hoping this will work out. I only recently joined the SFI team but I'm happy to be part of it and will do my best to make this a great success story!
As soon as I have received my first products here I will let you all know how things worked out.

Unhappy Shipping

I guess I should have looked into this a little earlier, but I just logged on, all excited as I was going to order my first Veriuni Health products from my store (now I finally moved places and have somewhere to live!), I expected the shipping costs to Europe to be high, but not this high! $25, wow.......
What a shame, it's not worth buying now....there must be other ways to ship internationally for lower costs I would think?
Oh well, still love the program though, I'll just focus on something else for now.

Please note that SFI charges only what we are charged by the shipping services. And, yes, we've looked extensively, but there are no cheaper shipping options at this time that we are aware of.

We have a number of digital products and services that don't have any shipping costs however. See:

https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/SFIInternational.sfi

And SFI division NiceOffers.com means you can purchase and sell all kinds of products and services locally with no shipping costs. Please refer to my article:

"Maybe I just don't 'get' NiceOffers, but I really can't see it as the solution - there are no SFI affiliates within 100 miles of me to use any local vouchers or offers."

You don't need any affiliates in your area. Contact merchants, stores, restaurants in your area that you like and sign them up. It costs nothing, it's totally risk free for the merchant. We provide free advertising for them and they only pay when they sell something and only pay the amount they're comfortable paying. It's a slam dunk for merchants compared to traditional advertising!!

Learn how to sign up merchants at https://www.sfimg.com/NOC/NOCM.sfi

Once they've entered some offers, viola, you now have products and services you like right there where you live to promote to people in your area. You don't have to handle any products. There are no currency issues, and no shipping costs.

Just refer people to the specific offer gateways or print out coupons and distribute the coupons. And there are of course many, many other ways to promote.

Learn more about how to promote NOC coupons to consumers at:

I can't give any specific details at this time, but we have a number of new and very cool methods/tools on the way to make retailing easier than ever. The biggest thing coming is our new mall and co-op however and they will take most of our attention for the next 6-8 weeks. After that we'll be rolling out an exciting new digital product and then the new retailing tools will begin appearing. The future is very bright!

I agree. That and more physical products like skincare and car care, as well as digital products like travel, as well as ebooks on dog traning, weight reduction, and other related products, as well as distribution centers in other parts of the world, and more products in the Veriuni line would make NiceOffers nice!

I ordered

Hello all,
I just thought I'd share with you that I did order my first product.
As mentioned above, the shipping is expensive for us international members, but as the dollar is still weak, the purchase in euro's is not too bad.....
So just went for the mango Swirl Tea, I just want to try it so I can promote it better! All depends on where you live but my shipping costs are $20, which is €13,80 in euro's, so not too bad I guess....
I'd love to purchase many more products, but I'll see first how this one goes, can't wait to have my first cup a tea!!
Any experiences from anyone else here in Europe?

Buying SFI Products

:)
Hi!

That's a great idea!

The only catch is; if you live in a country like Australia, the cartage costs

We need to support SFI! In doing this, we will all increase SFI's sales and our own SVP at the same time! More sales means higher bonuses and pool shares! We're all in this together! Let's all do our part and make this work for everyone!

International Affiliates

Thanks for your responses! This has been a very motivating post!

Hopefully in the future, with the Genius of Gery at the Helm, SFI will solve the problem of expensive shipping to International countries. For now, let me encourage you in that SFI's flagship product, IAHBE of course costs absolutely nothing to ship! As far as your personal purchases go, for now, focus on SFI's digital products.

Remember, as mentioned earlier, there is no reason why you can't focus on selling other tangible products such as vitamins, soap, coffee etc. in the US. The internet knows no bounds nor borders! This is still a GREAT opportunity for anyone regardless of where you call "home!"

Hi

Hi,

I also think IAHBE is the best product and other all digital products are suitable for all of the International Affiliates.

Thanks.

Thumbs up Tea time!

Hello all,
Just wanted to let you know that I received my tea yesterday (mandarin mango swirl). It's delicious! I'm glad I ordered it (besides the shipping costs to europe) as it makes it so much easier to promote now I know how it tastes.
I'm sure this won't be the last product I ordered! :lick:

Congratulations on your first of many orders of fine SFI products! 8-)

You bring up an excellent point as well! Of course purchasing products for your own use is a great way to build SVP, but from another business perspective, if you plan on retailing the products, it's really a necessity to order the products yourself so you know what the heck you're talking about to potential customers! Your future's bright, adzas! Keep up the great work!

Digital products

:O Hi!

Please, what are digital products? I have seen them referred to a number of

times, but don't know what they are.

I would like to say, that I got some answers on other queries I've had though,

from this thread relating International affiliates.

SFI's flagship product (IAHBE) is a digital product. It's completely internet based and it is not shipped, so you don't have to worry about expensive shipping charges. Hope this helps.

More digital products

We also have more digital products in our SFI store.

1. Tune Flow,

2. Long distance sponsoring product also has downloading part,

3. Internet, telephone and wireless services

4. Very VIP site builder

5. If we consider EyeEarn as a product then $35.00 per share option will be a digital product.

I think these are all other digital products with IAHBE in SFI.


Thanks.

Challenge Accepted

I have already accepted your challenge. I currently buy all of my supplements from SFI, all of my cleaning products, and even have my cellphone service through SFI.

I am actually spending less out of my monthly budget than I was! A definite no brainer.

I have challenged my downline to take up this challenge. With the EyeEarn Co-op having been launched this will be a great way for them to build an organization.

Posting this challenge to their personally sponsored affiliates brought in through the co-op will help kick their revenue stream into high gear!

A great 2008 to you all!

Combine this being EA for free technique with participation in the EyeEarn Advertising Co-op Network for yourself, and show it to all the affiliates you sponsor, get them to do the same thing you did, and you'll have the ultimate extremely simple and easy to do SFI business.

Challange

I'd love to accept your challange & do my shopping with SFI but the only problem is I would only be able to make one purchase before my wife either killed me or packed up the kids & headed down that road they call dusty. Not to be critical about the prices on these products but to be honest and totally realistic, I can only accept your challange if you promise to let me send you the reciept for the products I buy from my local merchants and you promise to send me the difference in price between what I currently pay and what I'll be paying thru SFI. I mean really, $ 8.77 + shipping for a bottle of shampoo. Walmart sells shampoo for $ 1.65 with no shipping cost. A bottle of hand soap for $ 7.55 + shipping at SFI. My wife picks it up for $ 1.00 at the local dollar store where everythings a dollar. $ 19.95 a year for domain names at SFI. I have several Domain names thru yahoo at $ 1.99 a yr each. That's just to name a couple. So with this in mind, like I said earlier, I'll take you up on your challange if you promise to send me the difference in prices if I provide you with a reciept from my local merchant when I buy from SFI. :wobblyeye

You know, reading your post, it seems to me that you're making excuses, looking for reasons to not take up the challenge.

For one thing, you won't get the tremendous SFI benefits and product high quality when you purchase elsewhere. Consider this carefully.

Also your wife surely will be pleased with SFI's cleaning products which are concentrated and convert with water into solutions that are very much less expensive than what you can get at the store, gives you many times in volume opposed to what you buy, and they work better too! It's a proven fact. Buy SFI cleaning products regularly. Everyone has to clean something all the time.

Think about what you CAN do, not why you CAN'T.

Question about the SFI Broadband Service?

I have DSL presently and am paying almost the same monthly as I would with the broadband through SFI. It would only be a few dollars more.

My question is? Do you receive any SVP for the broadband service? I didn't notice any SVP qualifications when checking it out.

Thanks.

My Challenge To All!

Although building a strong network is important, I have realized and decided to try and focus more on sales. I don't think I am going to be as successful in SFI without sales and what good is having 1000 affiliates who do nothing?

I have two EA's presently and one is extremely active the other not so much?

I have tried repeated attempts to "fire" them and all my affiliates up and have only gotten response from the EA that is active.

I believe people join this program because it is "FREE" and they expect to make money from recruiting other affiliates who will hopefully buy or sell and make them money? GOOD LUCK!

I wouldn't change SFI to much as I know it is honest and ethical. It keeps trying to better it's available programs and services for us all to earn from.

So What If?

What if every affiliate purchased say 1 bottle a month of a Veriuni product and also then sold one, how much more rewarding it would be to everyone in SFI. And that is not impossible. Imagine? 10,000,000 affiliates(remember Powerline) with just 2 sales each? Be a lot more happy campers? Not to mention an explosion of EA's and TL's!

There is my challenge to all.

Thanks for reading.

Wishing all a Very Happy Easter.

Reply to ridgerunner,s challenge

It's true you can go to Walmart and buy things a lot cheaper BUT:

You spend money on gas.

You use your time.

You get a possibly toxin product to your health and your family and pet's.

You have to fight the traffic and crowds wasting more time. Not to mention the weather conditions sometimes.

AND you didn't make any money doing any of it.

Oh Yeah! One more thing. Now you can do it all over again in about two weeks or so when you run out of your purchases.:eek:

THINK TOMORROW, NOT TODAY!:wobblyeye

What if you purchased the Veriuni All Purpose Cleaner Gallon?

Total cost about $32.00 (depending on your s/h and if your EA it's cheaper) and you now have 128 gallons of cleaning solution, made a commission (saving you money) and didn't have to spend your time, effort or added gas money to get more. Plus your helping promote a safer environment for your family and pets. And it has more uses than your store brand products.

Isn't that worth a little extra upfront?:Super:

Thanks for reading.

our job is to invite them to join and upgrade by purchasing (or selling - moderator) 10 svp worth of product and use word of mouth and get paid telling others about our fine products. would you rather have a friend tell you about our fine expanding product line and company or a pushy salesperson? or an idiotic commercial? my point is we can sell without selling. I am a businessman not a pushy manipulative salesman. that would kill our business. a lot of people don't like salesman I am one

I should have said move 10 svp. when you get paid for word of mouth you get paid to invite people to our growing product line based on product movement. when you get paid for telling someone about something you are excited about. that is fun selling is not.

Dear Wealth4Life:

I totally agree that we are the only ones that can make SFI the greatest opportunity out there. This can be only done if we believe in our products, purchase them, and tell others. I accept your challenge!

Unhappy

I am going to try to do this myself. I have noticed about niceoffers. is no longer available. At this time I am on SSI. For those of you outside of the United States that is disability when you have not worked long enough to get a full check from the government. I want to start earning enough to get off it. Money is tight so hopefully will have enough to get ea.

I can't give any specific details at this time, but we have a number of new and very cool methods/tools on the way to make retailing easier than ever. The biggest thing coming is our new mall and co-op however and they will take most of our attention for the next 6-8 weeks. After that we'll be rolling out an exciting new digital product and then the new retailing tools will begin appearing. The future is very bright!
sir is there any tab or liquid for cancer in sfi products?
