This is New in the MLM Industry

SFI is a few days away from unveiling its E-Commerce Associates program (ECA). The ECA program will allow retailers around the globe to easily post their products for sale online. Transactions will be handled by TripleClicks.com, so it is completely free for prospective retailers to join. There is no upfront fee, either. TripleClicks will retain a small commission on sales, and will share that commission with its affiliates.

What does that mean to TripleClicks affiliates? Well, we will have a wider variety of products to promote, as well as a broader reach, as retailers will sign up for the program from all over the world. No longer will customers complain about steep costs of shipping, as they will be able to buy locally and even to pick up merchandise in locations near to where they live.

The most exciting prospect of the ECA program, though, is earning lifetime royalties on retailers that you refer to the program. Let's say you know a neighborhood shop that sells pet products. They are local to where you are, but would love to extend their reach across the Internet. You refer them to the TripleClicks ECA program. They start reaching customers that they had no access to prior to joining the program, and open new possibilities for revenue. And you will retain a commission on EVERY SINGLE SALE this shop makes over TripleClicks, FOR LIFE. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

"Timing is Everything"? I Don't Thing So.

In the past few months I have been bombarded with a NEW LAUNCH in the MLM industry. The advertisements clearly stated “Timing is everything”, and “Get in NOW to be ON TOP of the matrix”. These statements are common to lure people in, but not often carefully thought about.

Once I analyzed those statements I realized that “timing” and “being on top” are key phrases for pyramid schemes in which the people at the top make more money than the ones that join later. These schemes are not legal, but they try to make them so by throwing in a “product that is being sold”, even though no one outside the company would think about using the product...

When I was looking for an opportunity to join, I went the opposite direction. I looked for a company that had been around for years, and had a large established affiliate base. That tells me that the company is thriving, and that the products are selling.

In SFI it is possible (and it has happened) to make more money than the person sponsoring you, even though it would seem that they are “on top” of you because they joined first. You rest assured that you are being rewarded for your hard work, and that no one that is working less than you is making more money just because they “joined faster” and are not “up higher”.

With SFI everyone is given an equal opportunity, a store full of products in various categories that you can advertise and sell for commissions. Customers enjoy TripleClicks products and services whether they are SFI affiliates or not. The opportunity of selling your stuff at TripleClicks for as low as 19 cents per listing is a very appealing one. Plus the listings do not expire, so your item is up for sale until it sells (or maybe you decide you no longer want to sell it, you can take it down).

So exercise careful consideration when looking for an opportunity to join. Timing is always everything.

What Happens When You Don't Succeed? The SFI Difference.

It is true that the network marketing model puts no boundaries on how much money you can earn, making it one of the most attractive opportunities for those looking to earn extra income, or start a home based business. Unfortunately, it is also true that not everyone will succeed in this business model. In fact, the sad reality is that most DO NOT succeed. Well, sad for you, sad for me, sad for whomever invested their hard earned money on one of those opportunities. But not sad for the network marketing company, because they are making money off of you whether you succeed or not.

You see, most network marketing companies force their members to buy their product. Month after month people are buying products and services that they don't need, nor want, just to have the "opportunity" to market that company's products. Plainly speaking, you are paying to do something which benefits the company: you will buy their products, (whether you need them or not), you will spread the word about them, you will market their products online and offline, you will tell others about this wonderful "opportunity", increasing the company's pool of people that are paying them to advertise for them! It is a win-win situation for the comapny, but not so much for the affiliates...

What if you don't succeed? Well, you find yourself literally "paying to work" and after a few months worse off than when you started. Am I being pessimistic? No, just staring at reality right in its honest, neutral face.

So, "What is different about SFI?", you ask. Well, joining SFI is free, and you are NEVER forced to buy anything. Yes, you do need to put in time and work, but worst case scenario? You made ZERO money. But you also lost ZERO money. Quite liberating. SFI has thousands of products that you can promote. Web hosting services, weight loss products, vitamins, self care items including lotions, shampoos, natural soaps, pet care products, even a line of environment friendly household cleaners. Do you have to buy these products in order to promote them? Of course not. SFI is getting exposure with each new member, whether they are marketing the products, services or opportunity. Why should they CHARGE you for helping them? Well, they don't.

Of course many people are curious about the products, or WANT to use one or more of the products in order to better market them... and will try them. But no one is forced to. Whether you use any of the products or not, you earn generous commissions on all your sales. How about SFI? Well, they make money whenever you sell or buy products, and if you do neither they won't incurr any revenue. Note, then, that it is in their best interest that their affiliates succeed, as they will only make money when YOU do! SFI provides all its affiliates with training materials, from Internet marketing to direct selling to offline marketing. A member's forum is available where members share their knowledge and experience 24/7 and a dynamic environment is fostered where all can contribute and learn. On the other hand, those companies that force you to use their products don't care whether you succeed or not; after all you are generating revenue for them whether you are making money or not. As long as you remain a member, they are getting a monthly payment from you, and benefiting from all the marketing and exposure that you give them when promoting their product and opportunity.

Think all network marketing companies are the same? Think again.

All you have to do is place the EyeEarn decal on your car window and go about your day. The EyeEarn advertising kit also includes a nice T-shirt and business cards that you can give out and refer to people to join your network when they ask you what your T-shirt is all about. (It says "Get Seen Get Paid"). Not good at that kind of thing? Don't worry, whether you recruit personally or not, SFI's stream of affiliates will continue flowing onto your downline month after month.
