To: All SFI Affiliates
From: Gery Carson, SFI President & Founder

Greetings everyone!

We're finishing up September on a roll and I wanted to personally share the great news with all of you. You're our partners after all, and our success is mutual!

First, let's recap some of the changes we've made recently:

On August 1st, we debuted our new, simplified compensation plan and also our fun new "Entrepreneur365" Challenge. These two major additions have been very well received to say the least...

New EAs (advancements to the rank of Executive Affiliate) have jumped 2090% (July vs. September). EA renewals are also up significantly. And how about this one: Daily VP (VersaPoints) production has vaulted a whopping 5000%!

Of course, E365 and the simplified compensation plan aren't the only things driving growth right now. Scroll down to check out our other big recent announcements here at SFI NEWS.

We also hit some big milestones in September:

* 50,000 Twitter followers (to go with our 10,000 Facebook fans reached in August)!
* We now have TripleClicks E-Commerce Associates in 100 countries worldwide!

Yes, SFI is definitely on a roll! But there's still much, much, much more to come. For example, we'll soon be adding NPOs (Non-Profit Organizations) to TripleClicks, so that you can help your favorite organizations raise money. There are also some big enhancements coming to the SFI Affiliate Center, some special new SFI products that we'll be debuting in October, and, several other exciting additions to be unveiled before the end of the year. Roll, roll, roll!

Of course, the timing couldn't be any better either. Historically, we're now in the very best time of the year, so if you've been on the sidelines, now's a GREAT time to get yourself re-engaged with SFI.

Stuart Naturinda of Uganda won $250 in this week's TripleClicks weekly W3 cash drawing. Congrats, Stuart!

Next week, it could be YOU. For each W3 member you refer, you receive an entry in our weekly drawing (winners drawn each Tuesday). 10 runners-up are also drawn and each receive 50 free TCredits. For 17 ways you can generate referrals, go to: tripleclicks.com/Wave3/makewaves.php

Each month, we award thousands of CSAs (Co-Sponsored Affiliates) to our affiliates. Currently, of the available CSAs, we award two to each EA and the rest to our VP Top 300.

We'd like your opinion on what you think is the best way to award these CSAs.

* Awarding the majority of the CSAs to the VP Top 300 ( https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MonthlyLeaderboard.sfi ) creates a significant incentive for hundreds of SFI affiliates to work towards a top 300 finish each month. Many may be in your downline.

* Awarding more to EAs could also be effective. The reason is that every EA would receive a larger number of CSAs...and since you must MAINTAIN the rank of EA to keep the CSAs you receive, you would likely see more affiliates in your downline remaining as EAs each month.

It's now easier than ever for you and your customers from around the world to quickly and securely set up Standing Orders (SO) for TripleClicks products--thanks to the new SO AlertPay payment option!

Selecting AlertPay as your payment method for your new Standing Order is very simple: just choose the AlertPay payment method when prompted during the check out process. NOTE: Affiliates with existing SOs cannot choose AlertPay as their payment method; AlertPay can only be selected during a new SO setup process.

The addition of the AlertPay option broadens the accessibility of Standing Orders to include more international customers, as well as those without credit cards or U.S. bank accounts. In addition to providing support for more than 6 million members in 190+ countries, for example, AlertPay uses SSL-encryption to safeguard personal information and features built-in fraud protection designed for quick, easy, and secure online payments in any of 22 currencies.

If you don't have an account set up with AlertPay, we strongly encourage you to do so now. It's quick and easy. Click HERE to sign up.

On September 1st, SFI began testing a new policy pertaining to registration confirmations of new affiliates. In short, confirming ones registration would no longer be REQUIRED to access the SFI Affiliate Center. Non-confirmed affiliates would also begin receiving SFI corporate emails the same as confirmed affiliates.

After testing this for more than two weeks, we are now allowing the same for sponsors, co-sponsors, and upline Team Leaders. In other words, instead of only being able to send e-mails to the portion of your sign-ups that have confirmed their registration, you can now contact a full 100% of your sign-ups!

This new policy covers individual e-mails and group e-mails sent from your Genealogy, and also the PSA Mailer and CSA Mailer. It is effective immediately.

Important Note: This new policy applies ONLY to sign-ups from September 1, 2011 and up. For sign-ups prior to this date, confirmation of registration is still required for e-mails.

SFI Affiliates can now select one of the quickest, safest and most reliable ways to collect their SFI commissions from just about anywhere in the world. AlertPay supports 22 currencies and provides localized banking in 46 countries--making it an ideal, hassle-free option for our Affiliates living outside the U.S.

To select AlertPay as your commission collection option, just go to your Commission Payment Options page at the SFI Affiliate Center. Then, select "Paid to AlertPay" as your choice and click Submit. That's it!

Don't have an AlertPay account? Sign up here. Note as well that there is a small $2 processing fee and a $20 minimum payment amount to use AlertPay as your commission collection option.

Every SFI affiliate should be familiar with our SFI BASICS page ( https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics.sfi ). But for some, even this page is not simple enough. So today we have put in place a separate, even simpler version. Check it out now at:

https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics3Steps.sfi

In this new "ultra-simple" version, we've laid out everything you need to do to create a full-time income with SFI in three simple steps. In just three SENTENCES in fact!

If you have new affiliates in your group who are having trouble understanding what they need to do, you may wish to refer them to this new page.

Note that we've added to the standard SFI BASICS page ( https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics.sfi ) a reference and link to the new ultra-simple page.

With the August 1st compensation plan changes/new qualifications, commission processing is requiring an extra day this month. Commissions should be posted no later than Wednesday. We appreciate your patience.

For today's E365 Finalists Drawing, there were only three persons qualified to win. So 22 prizes today--worth hundreds of dollars--went unclaimed! Yesterday, 23 prizes went unclaimed!

If you're in the E365 Finals, MAKE SURE you are qualified so that you are not missing out on all the great cash and prizes we're drawing for every day.

P.S. Because so many of you have asked for it, we are adjusting the Grandfather Clause this week. You can get into the Finalists Drawing now by achieving the rank of Bronze Team Leader (BTL) by the end of this month. As soon as you meet the BTL qualifications, you'll be entered into the daily drawings, and you will have over 7,000 chances to win so long as you remain at at least the rank of BTL.
