  We've added an easy, new VersaPoint pointable action. Earn 10 points just by reading the SFI Glossary and clicking the 10V graphic in the upper right corner of the page after you've finished reading. (NOTE: If you don't see the graphic on the Glossary, the system has already credited you the 10 VersaPoints.) To view all the actions you can earn VersaPoint from, see your VersaPoints Scoreboard.

 As you may or may not yet be aware, we have a MAJOR new program coming to TripleClicks called E-Commerce Associates (ECA). We expect the ECA program to bring literally millions of new products and services to TripleClicks. These merchants will also be worldwide, meaning you'll be able to patronize businesses from right within your own country, region, or even city. In some cases, you'll be even able to pick up the products from the merchants' local retail outlet, eliminating shipping fees altogether. The new ECA program is also an immense income opportunity in itself, as we will be allowing our affiliates to refer ECAs and earn lifetime royalties on ALL of their sales worldwide generated from TripleClicks.  (view the complete, full-size Gateway HERE) Today, you can view a "sneak peek" of the ECA Gateway. This will be the page you'll refer prospective ECAs to when the program is officially launched. Please note that the application links are purposely not operational and you should not refer any prospective ECAs to this page yet. Also note that the Gateway URL will change, probably to www.tripleclicks.com/<YourSFIID>/ECA when we go live in the next few weeks. ( 3 / 2368 )
 SFI is pleased to announce built-in instant messaging at the Affiliate Center. You can now instant-message with both upline and downline members right from within the SFI Affiliate Center! To use SFIM, just look for the "yellow SFIM bubbles." That is, on your Genealogy, on My Movers, on Affiliate Manager pages, and on your Upline Team page, you'll see a small bubble icon. If it's gray, that indicates the person is not online at the Affiliate Center. If the bubble is YELLOW, however, that means they ARE online currently and you can initiate an online conversation with them instantly. Initiating a conversion is super simple. Just click on the yellow bubble! On their end, a pulsating "SFIM" icon will appear in the header (of the Affiliate Center). Clicking on this icon will allow them to proceed to a live instant messaging conversation with you if they wish to. Here are four tips for using SFIM: 1. The easiest way to see who's online right now is to go to your genealogy and choose the "Online" filter. Select Online = Yes, then click the "filter" button and you'll see a listing of everyone in your downline who is currently online at the Affiliate Center. You can now initiate conversations by clicking the yellow bubbles beside their names. If no names appear, this means no one in your downline is currently visiting the Affiliate Center, but you can of course try again later. 2. If you're chatting with a person who's primary language is different than your own, keep Google Translate open in a another window browser so you can cut and paste text as needed to translate your conversation. 3. Just as this article emphasizes, when you're initiating contact with downline members, focus on how you can help them. Use SFIM to support and assist your downline and you will build a stronger, more profitable group. 4. If you see the yellow bubble beside your sponsor's name in the top right corner of the header at the Affiliate Center, this indicates your sponsor is online currently. Click the yellow bubble to initiate a conversation with your sponsor.  ( 3 / 2334 )

Tiger Direct Canada--Choose from brand-name computers, electronics, LCDs, plasmas, parts and accessories--all at great prices you won't find elsewhere! To access these and all the other 180+ major, name-brand merchants integrated within TripleClicks.com, just click the MaxMalls option at the bottom of the department listings at the store. ABOUT MAXMALLS:  As you know, MaxMalls is a subset of TripleClicks. As an SFI affiliate, you should always shop TripleClicks Direct products first (as they give you the best CV and VP). However, if you can't find what you're looking for, try a MaxMalls Merchant. MaxMalls Merchants are located within the various departments at TripleClicks. There are over 180 top online stores represented including: Best Buy, Sears, iTunes, Office Depot, PetSmart, Target, Travelocity, Wal-Mart, Old Navy, and many, many more. Each month, provided you are an active EyeEarner or SFI Executive Affiliate, you'll automatically receive one share of the MaxMalls Pool. That is, you'll earn a portion of the commission on every MaxMalls™ purchase made by every SFI Affiliate and every TripleClicks Member worldwide! Of course, the MaxMalls Pool cannot grow without your support. So WHY should YOU shop MaxMalls. Here are three big reasons: A. The more MaxMalls sales there are, the larger the pool amount becomes and the larger your personal share will be. B. Especially if you were already going to buy a particular product elsewhere, you won't be adding anything to your budget (and you may very well SAVE money) by using MaxMalls. In other words, buying through MaxMalls is smart! C. The larger the MaxMalls pool and share amount becomes, the more excitement, momentum, and loyalty it creates for the affiliates in your group. You succeed when they succeed, so be sure you're helping yourself by "MaxMalling" every month. There are three ways to locate MaxMalls Merchants at TripleClicks: 1. Click the "MaxMalls" link located under the list of departments in the left sidebar of the TripleClicks homepage. 2. Within any set of search results, you can "extract" just the MaxMalls listings by choosing "MaxMalls Merchant" as the listing type in the right sidebar. 3. From the Advanced Search page, you can select MaxMalls Merchants (and, if desired, in combination with any other Advanced Search option). By the way, we're just getting started with MaxMalls. Lots of great new stores, features, and MaxMalls promotion are on the way. For more details about MaxMalls, please see: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/AboutMaxMalls.sfi P.S. The holidays are coming. Be sure to keep MaxMalls in mind for all your gift buying this year!! ( 3 / 2915 )
Effectively immediately, we've made the following new Gateway domain available: http://www.SFI4.com We will immediately begin referring affiliates to this new domain wherever we display Gateway URLs at the SFI Affiliate Center (such as https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList.sfi). And we encourage all affiliates to begin using this new domain in their marketing. For anyone using previously released domains like https://www.ezinfocenter.com and https://www. quickinfo247.com, etc., you'll want to start phasing out your use of them over the next 14 months. Important: The main reason we need to make this change is the little "s" in the current Gateway domains most of you are using. That is, the "https" prefix (the "s" indicating they are secure sites). This "s" is a element left over from years ago when those domains were used in conjunction with earlier SFI e-commerce sites that needed secure status. Today, it's not needed, and that little "s" keeps us from making certain improvements to our Gateways (example: adding automatic language translation). So we need to get everyone off the old domains and on to the new http://www.SFI4.com so we are no longer encumbered. If all of this sounds complicated, don't fret! Here's all you need to know/do: 1. Wherever you're using an old secure Gateway domain (such as https//www.ezinfocenter.com), just swap in the new domain: http://www.SFI4.com. That's it. There's no major rush, but just make sure you do so before the end of 2010. As of January 2011, the basic domain WILL continue to work, but someone using the link will get a message about the site no longer being secure--which it doesn't need to be as explained earlier--but it may cause them concern and/or make them abort proceeding. 2. If you're new to SFI or you don't have any links out there pointing to an old Gateway domain, you don't have to do anything. If you have any questions, please contact an SFI Affiliate Support Team Member HERE. ( 3 / 2679 )
