JOIN THE DISCUSSION: READ ENTIRE ANNOUNCEMENT: 41,470 FREE VP AWARDED IN LATEST SPIN & WIN Did you miss out on the most recent Spin & Win contest, held between December 19, 2016 through December 21, 2016? Affiliates who spotted the Spin & Win notice--announced in the weekly SFI Affiliate Newsletter, mailed out on December 19th--and who entered the free contest grabbed 41,470 free VP! Yet, that number is only a tiny fraction of the total amount of free VP we set aside for each Spin & Win contest! Don't miss out on these easy VersaPoints and the earning benefits that come with them. Be on the lookout for Spin & Win alerts in our newsletters--and make sure everyone in your downline is looking for them as well. Readers are leaders! Here's how Spin & Win works: At least once every month--and up to three times every month--we include a blurb in our newsletters announcing that a new Spin & Win contest is underway. NOTE: There is no mention of Spin & Win in the subject line. You must read each newsletter you receive in its entirety to find the new Spin & Win contest blurb. When you find it, get to the Web page URL referenced as soon as you can (the entry period will typically be 48 to 72 hours, but could be less). When you arrive at the Spin & Win Web page, answer the simple questions there about SFI or TripleClicks. Answer correctly and you will get one free spin of the VP wheel--with a chance to win up to 1,000 VersaPoints (everyone is guaranteed to win at least 5 VP per spin). There is NO obligation and NO purchase is necessary. Just enter the correct answers, spin the wheel, and you'll be a instant winner...with up to 1,000 VersaPoints added immediately to your account--just for reading your SFI e-mails! DID YOU GET YOUR FREE TCREDITS THIS MONTH? Commissions and perks have been processed for November, and we wanted to remind you that if you were at least a second-month EA (Executive Affiliate) in November, we've added 10-24 free TCredits to your account! To confirm how many TCredits you have available to use, just log in at . They will be listed next to your name in the top right corner. TCredits allow you to take FULL advantage of your TripleClicks member benefits. Use your TCredits for member listings, to bid on Pricebenders Auctions, to participate in contests, play games, and more. FOR ALL THE GREAT WAYS TO USE YOUR TCREDITS, SEE: NOTE: You can use your TCredits as you wish and at any time, but they do expire one year from receipt. ______________________________________________________ GREAT QUESTIONS FROM THE FORUM Featured questions and answers from fellow affiliates...

If it's deemed as "great" by our Moderators, it will be prominently displayed in the Forum's "Great Question!" section! ______________________________________________________ SPOTLIGHT MERCHANTS! Spotlight Merchants are online sellers from around the world that we've hand-picked, and that we'll be adding to a special new directory coming to TripleClicks. Over time, we hope to add hundreds of popular merchants, representing tens of thousands of products and services...in about every category you can think of! By simply shopping at these merchants' sites, you'll be able to earn up to 500 VersaPoints a month! And it's so easy! Once you've placed an order, simply submit a Points Claim Form. We'll verify your order with the seller and your VersaPoints will be immediately awarded to your SFI affiliate account! But that's not all! As you know, as an SFI affiliate, TripleClicks Executive Pool shares are an important component of your compensation. The higher the share value is, the larger your commissions can go. The Spotlight Merchants program is designed to actively and aggressively boost share values. That is, a large portion of every Spotlight Merchant sale goes directly into the TripleClicks Executive Pool. And because much of this will go in "unencumbered," ALL shareholders can see higher share values. Example: You place a $50 order with a Spotlight Merchant. For this, you immediately receive 300 VP. A portion of the $50 you paid pays for your 300 VP of course. But a portion is also simply deposited into the pool for all qualified SFI affiliates to share in. Now imagine thousands of SFI affiliates patronizing Spotlight Merchants each month. Pool shares values could soon begin to grow rapidly!

Then check out the "1-A-Day" plan: Simply distribute ONE TCard a day to a good prospect. That's it! If you'll do this, you'll soon be generating new PRMs on a regular basis--quite possibly several a week. Now, how many of your new PRMs--once they've experienced TripleClicks for FREE--might like to explore it even further by buying moreTCredits or buying products or becoming an ECA of yours? At this juncture, we of course cannot predict this, but we think the number (and the commissions you can earn) will be quite good. Here's an example: Let's assume that you're an EA (Executive Affiliate) with SFI. Of the 30 cards you've handed out this month, let's say 10 get a good taste of the Pricebenders auctions and decide to order some more TCredits. If those 10 new members buy just 100 TCredits each (2 packs of 50 each), you'll earn $83.20 in Direct Commissions plus a whopping 13,880 VersaPoints! That's 13,880 shares of the TripleClicks Executive Pool for you, too, of course. Keep in mind that if they're buying TCredits for bidding on Pricebenders auctions, many of your PRMs may buy multiple packs every month, or weekly, or even daily! Indeed, our current Pricebenders bidders buy hundreds of thousands of TCredits every month! Hence, you may only need to attract a handful of good customers to easily generate $100-$200 in commissions, plus thousands of VersaPoints! And not just once, but month after month. Yes, Pricebenders customers will often create the sweetest kind of income there is--residual income--and tons of VP for you! Remember: Failing to have a plan is like planning to fail! Don't be that person! With our 1-A-Day TCard Plan, you've got a great plan to help you become successful in SFI. Use it! Purchase a pack of 30 TCards for only $29.70 at: You can also bid for and win TCard packs at Pricebenders Auctions for a fraction of the purchase price!
