As I mentioned in Part I, there are 5 key steps to
building an SFI downline quickly using the SFI
system, and growing a full-time income as a result:
STEP 1: LEARN EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THE SFI SYSTEM AND
COMPENSATION PLAN.
STEP 2: GET MULTI-INCOME QUALIFIED (MIQ).
STEP 3: ACHIEVE POWERLINE TEAM LEADER (PTL).
STEP 4: SPONSOR AS MANY NEW AFFILIATES AS YOU CAN EVERY MONTH WITHOUT FAIL.
STEP 5: TEACH EVERY NEW AFFILIATE IN YOUR GROUP THIS SYSTEM.
All 5 of these steps are critical to your success. Part
I of this series covered Step 1 in detail. Let's
move on to Step 2:
First, you need to understand that SFI and the SFI powerline
system are a very powerful support system to help you build
a downline in SFI. Gery Carson, the founder of SFI, put
together the SFI system to provide every member with a quick
and easy way to build an MLM downline globally and on the
Internet.
Second, you need to understand that even though you can make
a little bit of money without getting MIQ, that you will
NEVER make the BIG money.
As a free SFI affiliate, you can retail the SFI products.
But these products pay you a ONE-TIME 40% commission only.
You'll have to sell a lot of products to a lot of customers
EVERY MONTH to make a full-time income!
In contrast, becoming Multi-income Qualified (MIQ) allows
you to earn from FOUR (4) different commissions and bonuses.
You won't just earn 40% one-time when you sell an SFI
product. Instead, you'll earn 40% EVERY SINGLE MONTH that
customer continues to buy!
On top of that, you'll earn 5% Bronze Overrides on all the
sales in the powerlines of your personally-enrolled members!
Over time, that is a HUGE bonus.
This is residual income that you'll earn month after month
after month, without doing any extra work! My SFI commission
check generates thousands of dollars from all these
different bonuses every month.
And I earn that month after month after month on the work
that I've done in the past PLUS work that my upline has done
PLUS work that my downline is doing PLUS work that everyone
in the company is doing. Now contrast that with the small
one-time retail sales commissions from just selling SFI
products as an affiliate with YOU doing all the work and
spending money for promotion!
I'm sure you get the message. Those extra SFI retail sales
commissions are a nice bonus. But the REAL money is in
becoming MIQ and qualifying for 4 commissions and bonuses,
which works along with the SFI powerline system to help you
build an income as big as your dreams!
When you become Multi-income Qualified (MIQ), you will build
residual income, the best kind there is, and it will grow
month after month, whether you continue to work or not!
Residual income allows you to "sell" the program to new
affiliates once and keep earning from them month after month
after month.
On top of that, once you get MIQ, SFI starts banking one
share of the PTL Bonus Pool in your name EVERY month that
you are MIQ!
That's right! SFI starts saving your bonus pool share, even
though you haven't yet achieved Powerline Team Leader (PTL).
They bank that in your name, then when you make PTL, you get
a check for all the shares they've banked for you!
Last month, one share of the PTL Bonus Pool was worth $25.
Think about that - that's almost the entire cost of getting
MIQ to start with ($29.95)! And SFI is going to put it aside
for you every single month until you make PTL. Then when you
are PTL, it will become a regular part of your pay.
What if it takes you 6 months to achieve the level of PTL?
Then you'll have 6 bonus pool shares banked in your name. If
each is worth $25, then you'll get a nice check for $150
added to your commissions when you make PTL.
If it takes you a year, you'll have an extra $300 to look
forward to. And remember - this is just ONE BONUS in the SFI
compensation plan!
The SFI compensation plan is a model of simplicity.
There are no hidden traps or almost impossible requirements
to meet to attain the leadership positions and earn a high
income.
So many MLM programs have almost impossible requirements
before they start paying their leaders a decent income. They
often require thousands and thousands of dollars worth of
sales before you reach that level.
Not SFI!
You just have to sponsor 3 MIQ affiliates to achieve PTL.
And just 10 PTL's to achieve Group Leader. Each of those
positions adds many bonuses to your check!
You can start making money in SFI right away as you start
building your business.
The SFI program benefits part-timers, as well as "heavy
hitters" and full-time network marketers. It is one of the
most straightforward, yet still profitable, plans I've ever
seen.
In fact, SFI boils the whole system of building a six figure
income down to 6 very simple straightforward steps:
1. Become an affiliate.
2. Complete Smart Start.
3. Get Multi-income Qualified (MIQ).
4. Achieve the PTL qualifications. (Just 3 personally-
enrolled MIQ affiliates).
5. Start your Personal Powerline, and add PTL income.
6. Develop new PTL's from your personal referrals and you'll
become a Group Leader and add Group Leader income.
That's it! Six steps to a six-figure annual income! If you
haven't read all the details of this simple plan, just point
your web browser to:
http://www.sfimg.com/Training/SixSteps.html
Thankfully, the SFI compensation plan is so lucrative, that
you are going to be making a LOT of money BEFORE you ever
get to step 6! Let's take a look at how the new compensation
plan works.
There are 9 different bonuses and commissions in the SFI
comp plan.:
And that's ON TOP of Bonus #1. So, the first month you get a
new MIQ affiliate, you are going to earn 80%!!
Please notice that Bonus #2 gives you Residual Income.
You don't just earn a one-time 40% commission when someone
you sponsor gets MIQ by buying 10 SVP of product.
You also earn 40% on that member each and every month that
they remain in the program. Now think about that - - - every
MIQ affiliate is going to bring you an income of $80 per
year from just this one bonus. 10 would earn you $800 per
year. 100 would pay you $8,000 per year.
And that's just what you'll earn from this ONE bonus alone.
But stay tuned, there is MUCH MORE in the SFI comp plan!
Something else you should especially pay attention to is the
fact that once someone is MIQ, you don't have to keep
selling to them over and over and over again to make any
money. You do the work ONE TIME and continue to profit every
single month they stay in the program!
As a free affiliate, you have to sell something EVERY month
to more and more new customers to keep earning the same
income. If you don't continue doing more and more, your
income never increases at all! You just spin your wheels
staying in the same place.
Not so if you are MIQ! Every month builds on the last month.
If you sponsor the same number of new MIQ affiliates every
month, the commissions you earn on them ADD to the
commissions you earn on the MIQ's you sponsored last month
and the month before. You can do the same amount of work,
yet watch your check get bigger and bigger!
That's the magic of residual income. And this second bonus
is just the start!
Something else you should notice with Bonus #2 is that it
will only take you about 3 personally-enrolled MIQ
affiliates to get in profit with SFI. (In fact, when you add
in some of the other bonuses, it will probably take less
than 3). If you are MIQ as a result of joining IAHBE at
$29.95/month, 3 MIQ affiliates will pay you $30/month from
this one bonus alone, putting you solidly in profit!
3 is a magic number in the SFI compensation plan, by the
way. 3 MIQ affiliates gets you in profit. And 3 MIQ
affiliates qualifies you to start your own Personal
Powerline and become a Powerline Team Leader, qualifying you
for 4 more bonuses!
If you are one of SFI's 100 top sellers for the month, you
will receive 1 share of the TOP 100 BONUS POOL for each SVP
earned. Note that SVP eligible for the TOP 100 BONUS POOL is
from NEW sales only.
Every month, the top 100 sellers are listed at the SFI
Scoreboard. This scoreoard, incidentally, is updated in real
time. It can be fascinating to check it every day,
particularly if you are getting a lot of new MIQ affiliates!
Here is where to find the scoreboard:
http://www.sfimarketing.com/score.html
When affiliates whom you have personally referred to SFI
start their own Personal Powerlines, you earn "Bronze" 5%
override commissions on all CV in those Powerlines if you
are Multi-Income Qualified.
Example: You have referred John to SFI. John builds a
Powerline that has $5000 CV this month. Because you referred
John, you earn a $250 override (5% of $5000 CV = $250).
Now think about this: this example shows what you can earn
from this bonus on just ONE person you have sponsored who is
building their business.
What if you sponsor 5 people who each of $5,000 CV in their
powerlines?
You would earn $1,250 PER MONTH.
What if you have 10 people?
You would earn $2,500 PER MONTH.
And remember, that doesn't include the income you are also
earning from Bonuses 1-3! This is just ONE bonus in a pay
plan of 9 different bonuses.
Another thing to think about: once you are a PTL, these
overrides can increase to 20%!!!
Now remember, you are ALREADY earning the 5% Bronze
overrides on this very same CV. As a PTL, the Silver
overrides bring that amount up to 10%.
Remember our example above:
Example: You have referred John to SFI. John builds a
Powerline that has $5000 CV this month. Because you referred
John, you earn a $250 Bronze override (5% of $5000 CV =
$250). AND you earn a 5% Silver override, for ANOTHER $250!
That doubles your earnings on John's powerline to $500.
What if you had 10 people with $5,000 CV powerlines?
Your income from JUST THESE 2 BONUSES increases to $5,000
per month.
What if you had 100 people with $5000 CV? (And folks, if you
continue to work this program, you eventually will! Never
doubt it!)
Your income from these 2 bonuses alone would be $50,000 PER
MONTH!!!!!
Do you think you could live on that?
And never forget - as a PTL, you earn 8 total bonuses from
the SFI compensation plan. The above example shows you what
you can achieve from just 2 of those bonuses. When you add
in the other bonuses, your income can be the stuff you've
only dreamed of!
Now here is what you should particularly pay attention to:
This applies to BOTH personally-enrolled affiliates AS WELL
AS those who were referred by others.
Example: You are a Powerline Team Leader. You have 320
affiliates in your Personal Powerline who generate $15,000
CV this month. You would earn a $1500 override ($15,000 CV x
10% = $1500).
Now remember, you're also getting Bonuses 1-5 on many of
these very same people and the work they have done, as we've
seen above. Bonus #6 adds another huge source of income to
your bottom line. But it does even more . . .
As you will soon see, as you build your Personal Powerline
larger and larger, this bonus can result in an incredible
amount of income over time that you won't have to do a thing
to earn!
How can that be? Well, under this new compensation plan,
everyone must first sponsor 3 MIQ affiliates into their
Parent Powerline before they can start their own Personal
Powerline. When you sponsor someone into your Personal
Powerline, YOUR line is THEIR Parent Powerline.
So when they become MIQ, they have to add 3 MIQ affiliates
to YOUR line before they can start their own. Those 3 MIQ
affiliates will pay you 10% per month EACH just from this
Gold Override Bonus. And remember, you didn't have to spend
one red cent to sponsor those MIQ affiliates. One of your
downline was required to do it.
Does your downline affiliate lose out? Hardly. They still
earn the 40%/month residual income bonus on those 3
affiliates, plus other bonuses we've already talked about.
They get rewarded, and you get rewarded, a win-win
situation.
Now, what happens when those 3 affiliates your downline just
added to your Personal line want to start THEIR own lines?
You got it! They are in your Personal Powerline, so THEY
have to ALSO sponsor 3 MIQ affiliates into your line before
they can start their own. That means YOU get 9 more MIQ
affiliates that pay you 10%/month and you didn't spend a
penny to sponsor them.
Those 9 affiliates will end up adding 27 MIQ affiliates if
they want to progress in SFI. And those 27 will add 81.
Those 81 will add 243. And on and on. And YOU get paid 10%
overrides EVERY MONTH on each and every one!
And remember that all these hundreds of MIQ affiliates are
the result of just ONE person in your line becoming MIQ and
working to start their own powerline!
Think about what happens when the people you sponsor start
sponsoring their required 3. Eventually, you are going to
have hundreds, then thousands, of affiliates in your
powerline adding 10% apiece to your commission check. 100
would pay you $200/month. 1,000 would pay you $2,000 per
month. And again, YOU didn't have to sponsor these people.
Your downline did!
That's the power of this compensation plan and this one
requirement. It forces your affiliates to help you build
your Personal Powerline in order for them to start their
own. This one requirement will eventually add explosive
growth to your Personal Powerline and LOTS of income without
any extra works on your part.
That's right. This requirement is like an Automatic
Recruiting System. If you just keep building your Personal
Powerline and getting your affiliates MIQ, THEY will keep
adding more and more and more affiliates to your line as
well! In fact, eventually, they'll give you many times the
number of affiliates as you personally enrolled yourself.
All those MIQ affiliates working toward starting their own
lines are going to do the lion's share of the work for you
over time!
Let me just give you an example from my own experience.
I've been with SFI for almost 4 years and have personally
enrolled over 3,000 affiliates in that time.
But guess what? My personal powerline has OVER 50,000
affiliates in it!!!!
I didn't sponsor them. I just sponsored 3,000 of them. Where
did the other 47,000 come from?
They came from this wonderful addition to the pay plan: the
requirement that everyone put 3 MIQ affiliates in my
powerline before they can start their own.
Over 4 years, that turned out to be a LOT of affiliates, as
you can see.
No, this certainly won't happen overnight. You must first
build a base and get your powerline to the size that it will
start producing for you.
But if you just stick with this program, as I did, you can
see how very powerful it really is!
And it's going to happen a lot faster than you could ever
imagine. Eventually you won't have to add any more
affiliates to your own line at all. And yet, it will keep
growing anyway.
If you will simply continue to build your powerline as
quickly as you can, you are going to quickly reach the day
that your downline is providing all the growth. You'll then
be a Group Leader and will be off helping others achieve
that goal in their own lines!
Note! This applies to both affiliates who you have
personally referred to SFI as well as those who were
referred by others.
Example: You are a Powerline Team Leader. Seven affiliates
in your Personal Powerline start their own Powerlines. These
"Offshoot" Powerlines generate $20,000 CV this month. You
would earn a $2000 override ($20,000 CV x 10% = $2000).
Combine this override with the Bronze and Silver 10%
Overrides you earn on Powerlines started by your Personal
Referrals, and you can actually earn a whopping 20% total!
Remember John from our example above?
Example: You have referred John to SFI. John builds a
Powerline that has $5000 CV this month. Because you referred
John, you earn a $250 Bronze override, a $250 Silver
Override, AND a $500 Platinum Override.
Total earned from just John's Powerline: $1,000 per month!
If you had 10 people who equal John's accomplishment, you
would earn $10,000 per month.
100 people would pay you the astronomical figure of $100,000
per month!
And again, this is just from 3 bonuses!
But don't forget, you're earning the 10% Platinum overrides
on ANY powerline started by ANYONE in your personal
powerline.
Remember how everyone had to "give" you 3 MIQ affiliates
before they could start their own line?
And remember how all that activity will eventually build you
a line many times what you could build by yourself?
Then you will start to understand that you will be earning
this override on many times MORE people than just your own
personally-enrolled referrals.
John, in our example above, is one of our referrals, as are
the 10, then 100 people we mentioned.
But if you have 10 personally enrolled PTL's, think about
how many NON-personally enrolled PTL's you are going to
have! Eventually, 10 times as many or more. And that means
another 100 powerlines you are earning a 10% override on.
If you have 100 personally enrolled PTL's, you are probably
going to have 1,000 NON-personally enrolled PTL's you'll get
overrides from!
Folks, over the years, that is really going to grow to an
absolutely obscene amount of income in your pocket every
single month!
Will it happen overnight? Of course not!
But if you work this program and just keep sponsoring new
people, it will happen for you a lot quicker than you could
ever believe!
All PTL's receive 1 share of the PTL BONUS POOL each month
unless you are a first-month PTL -- in which case you would
have paid to you this month how ever many shares you have
banked.
Remember, SFI BANKS you a share of the PTL Bonus Pool every
month you are MIQ - even if you haven't yet reached the PTL
requirements!
The terrific thing about this bonus pool is that it
practically rebates to you every penny it costs to get MIQ!
That's right. If you get MIQ by joining the International
Association of Home-Based Entrepreneurs (IAHBE), SFI's
flagship product, it will cost you $29.95 per month.
Last month, the PTL Bonus pool share amount was $25. That
made the cost of getting MIQ almost FREE! And remember,
IAHBE also gave you over $800 of free bonuses when you
joined. Plus, every month, you get over $100 worth of free
software, ebooks, and all kinds of critical business-
building information delivered right to your door!
All Group Leaders receive 1 share of the GL BONUS POOL each
month for every 10 personally-referred PTL's (Powerline Team
Leaders). Note: To count towards shares, the PTL's must be
PTL-qualified for a minimum of two months.
Additional shares can be earned for developing Group Leaders
within your Group (1 additional share for every 3
personally-referred Group Leaders).
Folks, once you start earning this bonus, you are going to
be earning a full-time income from the SFI program. As I
write this article, SFI expects each share of the GL Bonus
Pool to amount to $2,000 or MORE!
But don't forget all the thousands of dollars you can earn
from bonuses 1-8 BEFORE you ever achieve the level of Group
Leader!
What you may not realize is that this new compensation plan
pays PTL's many of the bonuses that were only paid to Group
Leaders in the past. And these bonuses are worth 4 times as
much!
There you have it! A compensation plan that pays you a share
of ALL the sales made in the entire company, for every bit
of work that you do yourself, for the work of your upline,
and for the work of your downline. I can't honestly think of
another thing SFI could have added to this compensation plan
without putting themselves into bankruptcy!
It's without a doubt one of the most profitable compensation
plans I've seen in the 14+ years I've been a network
marketer. It makes it easy for the newest member to earn
commissions, as well as richly rewarding the heavy-hitter
who does a lot of work. It makes it easy to attain the
leadership levels (which are usually almost impossible in
most companies).
And it's also the fairest plan that I've ever seen. One
thing you should notice is that SFI pays out 66%+ of all
product sales in commissions. The norm for most MLM
companies is about 40%, or even less when you take
into consideration the way their BV requirements work.
SFI ends up making a very slim profit on your monthly
subscription to their flagship product. And that has to be
used to pay support staff, for the ever-expanding bandwidth
requirements of the SFI web site and database system, and
all the other overhead required to run a company with over 7
million affiliates.
MLM companies as a group just don't pay out these kinds of
commissions to their distributors! And that's one of the big
reasons that SFI has grown so explosively since SFI first
came out, and why so many past MLM "failures" are achieving
in SFI for the first time!
But you can't earn ANY of the income in this incredible
compensation plan until you are an MIQ affiliate. Again, you
aren't MIQ and eligible for all the bonuses in the comp plan
just by becoming a free SFI affiliate. You must become
Multi-Income Qualified (MIQ). Just go to:
http://www.sfimg.com/MIQ/
If you are currently only an SFI free affiliate, but not
MIQ, you should go to that site IMMEDIATELY.
This is a no-brainer. Becoming MIQ will cost you about
$29.95/month, if you join IAHBE. You get over $800 of
bonuses when you join IAHBE, and you get over $100 of
business-building tools, training, and software delivered to
your door EVERY MONTH! And did you know that your membership
is tax deductible, if you are a US citizen?
I know very few MLM programs with such a low monthly cost
that can earn you as much income!
Joining IAHBE for $29.95 per month is about the cheapest way
to earn your 10 SVP every month and get MIQ. Plus, you can
place a standing order. That way, you don't have to worry
about buying a different SFI product every month to make
your MIQ qualification. You can set it up and forget it.
Plus, you get lots of free benefits with IAHBE.
Folks, if you can't afford $29.95/month, you can't afford to
go into business for yourself! Most of us spend more than
that every month on junk that will never put a nickel in our
pockets! This is an extremely low investment to make in your
future. And remember, as soon as you get 3 MIQ affiliates,
you'll be solidly into profit.
You cannot earn a good income from SFI without first getting
MIQ. You won't be able to build a powerline or earn the
9 profitable bonusees in the pay plan. And it won't matter
how many people your sponsor places under you. You won't
earn a dime from any of them!
Do yourself a great big favor and get MIQ RIGHT NOW! Commit
yourself to a business that can earn you a full- time income
in a far shorter time than any other business opportunity.
And will cost you a lot less!
