Now the real fun starts!

Now the real fun starts!

Today marks your 30th and final edition of the LaunchPad "Getting Started" training series. We truly hope you've found the information provided to you in this training to be clear and helpful.

We want to encourage you to continue educating yourself on SFI. This 30-part series has given you but a glimpse of SFI. There is SO, SO much more! Remember, we've been helping entrepreneurs achieve success since 1985. And while SFI itself only officially came into being in 1998, the fact is there's more than 26 years of development behind it and millions of dollars invested in building SFI.

We're extremely proud of the program we've created. And we're even more proud of the results. Over the past decade, SFI has helped tens of thousands of men and women from all over the world become successful entrepreneurs.

And, yet, we've barely scratched the surface! As we covered in the "Borderless is beautiful" edition of LaunchPad, the true global growth (powered by the Internet) has only just begun...and no company has aligned itself better than SFI.

If SFI is on its way to becoming a multi-billion dollar global giant as many believe, then many of our affiliates are truly "millionaires in the making." And whether you believe it or not right now, there's no reason why YOU can't be one of them.

The future for SFI is very, very bright!

In closing, we'd like to say one more time, we truly care about your opinion. It may sound corny, but we really do think of you as a PARTNER, and SFI succeeds ONLY if our affiliates succeed. Therefore, PLEASE, use our Suggestion Box whenever you have ideas for improving SFI. TOGETHER, we will continue to make SFI better and better for all.

THANK YOU so very much...and we look forward to working with you for years to come!

Who ARE these guys

"Who ARE these guys?"

It's been a couple of days since you enrolled as an SFI affiliate, and you're probably wondering, "Who are these guys?" and "Is this SFI thing the real deal?"

Great questions. And you're absolutely right to ask them! After all, you've been invited to involve yourself with a company, and you should definitely know who you're dealing with.

Not only that, but when it comes to finding a legitimate business opportunity on the Internet, it’s a "minefield" out there—heavily populated with questionable, often-illegal money games and here-today-gone-tomorrow schemes. Make a wrong step or choose the wrong company, and you could lose big.

Yet deep down, you've probably figured that amongst all the "junk" out there, there has to be a few jewels. After all, the Internet is a huge, multi-billion-dollar marketplace; there's got to be SOMEBODY who's developed a real opportunity for cashing in on it.

We'd like to start showing you right now that SFI is indeed one of those rare jewels.

SFI's corporate headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska

For starters, you should know that:

• SFI is now in its 13th successful year on the Internet. In that time, SFI has grown from just one product to multiple subdivisions and 93,050 products and services.

• With 29,244 new affiliates joining weekly, SFI is one of the fastest growing companies of its kind in the world. See the Global Growth Report to see just how fast!

• Since 1998, SFI has paid out MILLIONS of dollars in commissions to affiliates in over 190 countries. In other words, SFI is in virtually every country in the world! And in the process, SFI has become, truly, one of the Internet’s biggest success stories.

• SFI's parent company, Carson Services, Inc., is now in its 26th year of business and is a longtime member of the Better Business Bureau serving southern Nebraska.

• Working with SFI means having the peace of mind of working with a proven, debt-free company with a long, successful track record.

WHAT IS SFI'S SECRET?
WHY has SFI been so successful, while thousands of other would-be competitors have fallen by the wayside over the last 10 years? WHY has SFI become arguably the #1 affiliate program in the world?

We attribute it largely to the unique makeup of our affiliate program—a hybrid sales and marketing system exquisitely powered by the Internet. It probably also has a lot to do with the simple fact that SFI WORKS for so many thousands of people.

STILL NOT SURE?
Still not certain if SFI is a company with which you want to get active? Nothing wrong with that. Asking questions is smart. Tomorrow's LaunchPad asks a question of its own: "Are you on the 'Anti-Wealth' Plan?" which you're definitely going to want to check out. In the meantime, here are four more places for you to learn about SFI:

• Learn about SFI's history, company leadership, sub-divisions, and more.

• See what others are saying about SFI

• Compare SFI to other business opportunities

Marketing

Marketing = Money

By now, you've probably got some idea about what kind of marketing you'll be doing with SFI, but we'd like to break it down a bit more because it's such an important element of your new business. Indeed, it's the marketing you'll be doing that's going to generate the money you'll be depositing in your bank account!

First, let's look at what we know. We know that:

A. You're going to want to refer TripleClicks (TC) members.

B. You're going to want to sponsor affiliates.

You can do these activities one at a time, or you can do both at the same time, but you'll ultimately want to become a "master marketer" in both.

Now, you might think that mastering something you probably know little about is pretty far-fetched, but it's really not. We have thousands of SFI affiliates of all ages and backgrounds who started just like you—people who didn't know the first thing about marketing but who now can generate enrollments and sales with two arms tied behind their backs, so to speak. YOU can become just as proficient. All you have to do is get started and keep working at it.

So how do you get started? Well, thanks to SFI's amazing system, you can actually be on your way with your first marketing campaign—indeed campaigns!—in less than 30 minutes!

Here's how:

1. Go to our "R" (Referral) Methods page HERE.

2. Note the methods highlighted with a yellow background. These are methods that are free and can be put into action within minutes.

3. Put one or more of the methods into action...right now!

4. Next, go to the "S" (Sponsoring) Methods page HERE.

5. Again, note the yellow highlighted methods.

6. Put one or more of these methods into action now.

Congratulations! You've just put marketing campaigns for both referring TC members and sponsoring SFI affiliates into action.

Now you can sit back and wait for the commissions to start rolling in, right?

Sorry, but nothing worthwhile is ever THAT easy! To start seeing serious income, you'll have to employ other marketing methods as well.

But let's not discount what you just did either! As covered in a previous issue of LaunchPad, getting started is the key. Once you've gotten started, you've overcome the "inertia" that keeps most people stuck in dead-end lives, and that's BIG.

Speaking of big, here's a good way to think about your marketing:

Just as a small fire produces little heat, small efforts will produce small results. So, give yourself a little reward for lighting the fire today. But tomorrow, make plans to move your marketing up to the next level.

There are SO many methods available to you—everything from X-Cards...to postcards...to banners...and more. Build a BIG fire, build a BIG income!

Central to your success

"Central to your success"

As you become more familiar with your new SFI business, you'll see that a constant theme is our encouragement to take some form of action every day. Why? Because if you're doing this, you'll be moving your business forward, slowly but surely, gaining momentum, step by step. And this will, of course, eventually result in some very good things for you...such as a large commission check every month.

One of those "must-do-daily" items is visiting the SFI Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com).

Visiting the Affiliate Center is, well...central to your success with SFI. By visiting every day, you'll get access to our valuable, personalized, step-by-step assistance; the latest news; timely tips; and training to build your new business, plus important alerts, notifications, and messages from SFI corporate and upline leaders. You can also earn up to eight VersaPoints for reviewing the tabs on your SFI Home Page (maximum 7200 points in 90 days).

The Affiliate Center is also where you'll find your individual account information, business reports, Glossary, Compensation Plan, FAQs, and literally hundreds of marketing aids, tools, and resources to power your business...and much more!

Because of all this, we STRONGLY recommend you bookmark www.sfimg.com now. BETTER YET, here's how to set the SFI Affiliate Center as your Web browser's homepage to really make it easy to visit daily.

And here's a little "homework assignment" for you:

When you have some time, go through each of the items on the main menu bar (the black bar that runs across the top of almost every page at the Affiliate Center). Click the "Income," the "Training" and "Reference" links, and all the others, too. EACH of these links will take you to an index of many, many valuable and useful tools, aids, and resources. Familiarize yourself with these items so you know where they're available when you need them.

Executive benefits

Executive benefits...

In today's LaunchPad lesson, we're going to go over the first two ranks in
SFI and what they mean to your SFI benefits and compensation.

Everyone who joins SFI starts out as a basic affiliate. As a basic affiliate,
you can earn two ways:

1. Direct Commissions
2. Pay-Per-Action Bounties

You can always remain a basic affiliate if you wish, but by scoring just
1,500 VersaPoints (VP), you can immediately move up to the "executive
level" of SFI!

As an Executive Affiliate (EA), you gain access to some of SFI's most
powerful business-building tools and perks. And instead of being able to
earn income in just two ways, you can now earn income SIX WAYS:

1. Direct Commissions
2. Pay-Per-Action Bounties
3. TripleClicks Executive Pool
4. Co-Sponsor Commissions
5. TCredits Bonus
6. ECA Royalties

Learn how easy it is to become an EA HERE.

By the way, scoring 1,500 VersaPoints will also likely get you at least into
round two or three of the Entrepreneur365 Contest. Check your E365
status now HERE.

Here's one more thing that's fun about VersaPoints. They are the key to
our "Power Rank" program. Power Rank allows you to see how you stack
up amongst your fellow SFI'ers—and we mean EVERY affiliate, not just
those in E365.

The more points you accumulate, the higher your Power Rank can go.

Your Overall Power Rank tells you where you rank amongst ALL active
SFI affiliates worldwide. Set your goals to become a "Top 1,000 Affiliate," a
"Top 100 Affiliate" or even a "Top 10 Affiliate"!

Your Country Power Rank tells you where you rank amongst the active
SFI affiliates in your country. Show your fellow citizens that you're an SFI
superstar!
