From the chapter SFI Basics
Making money with SFI
Following are the three basic ways you'll be making money with SFI:



1. Direct Commissions
The process for earning Direct Commissions is simple: Every time one of your personally referred members (PRM) or personally sponsored affiliates (PSA) purchases a product at one of our sites (TripleClicks.com, for example), you earn 20% of what we call the "Commission Volume" or CV for that product.
Earnings Example: An order is placed by one of your PRMs that has $28 CV. You earn a $5.60 Direct Commission (20% of $28).
CV is simply the maximum amount of commissions paid out on a given product/service, and every product for sale on TripleClicks.com has a CV amount attached. NOTE: you can view the CV information for a product by logging into TripleClicks.com and checking that item's details page.
And once you sign up a member or affiliate, they become your customer for life!* SFI takes care of all order processing, product shipments, and customer service at no cost to you, and pays you a 20% Direct Commission for every order placed by your members and affiliates for life*.
How do you generate sales? One easy method you can start using today is to simply start referring your friends, associates, and family to TripleClicks using your TripleClicks Gateway link:
https://www.tripleclicks.com/14516558/
We will be covering other sales methods and information in the LaunchPad lessons just ahead. Note that many of the methods are 100% FREE, can be done entirely on the Internet (no face-to-face selling), and can be put into action within minutes!



2. Co-Sponsor Commissions
In SFI, we believe the more personal assistance, attention, and help an affiliate gets, the more likely he or she will be to succeed. That's why, in addition to a primary sponsor, each SFI Affiliate is also assigned a Co-Sponsor. These Co-Sponsors share in the financial benefits and provide general support and encouragement of their Co-Sponsored Affiliates (CSAs). NOTE: You can contact your own co-sponsor HERE.
As a Co-Sponsor yourself, each time one of your CSAs places an order at one of our sites, you earn 8% of the CV.
Earnings Example: An order is placed by one of your CSAs that has $28 CV. You earn a $2.24 Co-Sponsor Commission (8% of $28).
There are literally dozens of ways you can get your own CSAs, and we cover them all in this LaunchPad Lesson.




3. Team Overrides
With SFI Team Overrides, you can earn 4% on up to 12 dynamically compressed levels! Through a process called "dynamic compression," you can earn rich override commissions infinitely deep in your group. That's because any generation in your downline not represented by an Executive Affiliate (or higher) is automatically passed over ("compressed").
Here's the breakdown on how dynamic compression will work for you as you advance in rank:
If you're an Executive Affiliate, you'll earn 4% of all CV on 3 compressed generations.
If you're a Bronze Team Leader, you'll earn 4% of all CV on 6 compressed generations.
If you're a Silver Team Leader, you'll earn 4% of all CV on 8 compressed generations.
If you're a Gold Team Leader, you'll earn 4% of all CV on 10 compressed generations.
If you're a Platinum Team Leader, you'll earn 4% of all CV on 11 compressed generations.
If you're a Diamond Team Leader, you'll earn 4% of all CV on 12 compressed generations.




Okay, so those are the three BASICS ways to earn in SFI:
Direct Commissions
Co-Sponsor Commissions
Team Overrides
However, you'll be pleased to know that there are even more ways to earn as an SFI affiliate, and we'll cover these in upcoming LaunchPad lessons!

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Clicking links contained in LaunchPad lessons will, in many cases, take you to pages in the SFI Affiliate Center. The Affiliate Center can be overwhelming for new members. If at any time you're feeling overwhelmed, just click the button with the rocket on it--located at the top of the Affiliate Center--to return here to LaunchPad. Stay focused on your LaunchPad lessons until you're ready to move on. But rest assured—all that stuff that looks overwhelming right now—is really just awesome tools and resources. Over time, everything will begin to make sense and you will be delighted that you have so many powerful tools to build your business with.
2. Do NOT try to learn everything about SFI in a few days or weeks. One of the main reasons SFI is so successful is because it has real substance—with more than 30 years behind it and literally tens of millions of dollars invested into building its system and infrastructure. Yes, you're now part of a REAL business that you can earn a very large income with, but it will take time to fully absorb everything. And that's alright, because anything worthwhile in life takes time. So relax and take your time. Learn a little bit every day. Soon, making money with SFI will become second nature for you. Getting started and taking daily action is the key.

Taking full thought, I've grouped SFI action into five. I call it the FIVE POINTS OF SFI ACTION.

To succeed in SFI, we have to do a bit of all of these, and consistently at that.

1) THINKING UPWARD
Here, we keep in touch with our upline: Sponsor, Co-sponsor and team leaders. These ones have gone the way, and thus can show us how.

They are important because they help us go through the SFI journey quite stress less.

2) THINKING INWARD
Here, you set daily and monthly goals for yourself. How much do I want to invest in SFI? How far do I want to commit? How serious do I want to get?

Clearly set goals help us get more committed.

3) THINKING BACKWARD
Here, you go back to provisions made before you became and SFI affiliate. Here we have the almighty LAUNCHPAD. Everything you need lies there, and is waiting to be read.

I recently read the INTERNET INCOME COURSE and I learnt so much. Please do if you haven't.

4) THINKING FORWARD
Here, you ask yourself how you can achieve your SFI dreams. You carefully plan out how to achieve Badge Quest status, how to recruit PSAs, how to promote products and earn commissions, etc.

The aim is to keep your eyes on the goals, otherwise logging on SFI everyday will be a boring mundane everyday routine.

5) THINKING DOWNWARD
Here, you help build those that are coming behind you: PSAs. Remember, their success greatly determines yours.

How do I help my team succeed? How do I motivate them to work better? Remember, a leader isn't one who has followers, but one who raises leaders.

When we do all these consistently​, the sky is the limit.

Have a very productive and blessed day. Cheers.

“I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.”


― Martha Washington

Since 1998, more than 19 million people worldwide have become SFI affiliates. During this time, SFI and its affiliates have invested millions of dollars and millions of hours in trial and error. What has emerged is a very clear picture of what does and what does not lead to success. We have distilled for you all of this into the SFI Rules Of Success. If you want to SUCCEED in SFI, you must follow these rules. If you want to risk FAILURE, ignore them.
