On this page I am listing my past years earnings from SFI Marketing so anyone who is truly interested in creating an online business will get a better idea of what can truly happen when you start building a marketing team.
I started with SFI Marketing in January of 2008. Since I am so busy with working the traditional way, in order to keep my house, car, and current lifestyle, I have not been a huge team builder. I invested in the Eye Earn Starter kit, which only has a one time fee of $20.00 plus shipping and handling. With this kit, I was able to keep working as I always have, while building an online business.
The fee is one time. There are no other charges. My team has been growing month to month even without my personal involvement. The only thing that is required of me, is to requalify each month when the form becomes available. A picture of a banner fixed to the window on your vehicle has to be uploaded to the site only once. But each month you have to fill out a form, much like a survey, each and every month to remain active in the Eye Earn Co-op.
The number of affiliates I have are currently at 200. The number of Executive Affiliates has varied over the last 4 months from 4 down to 2 in the past month.
The method I’m using to retain my Executive Affiliate status is a standing order for IAHBE.
As you can see, even with my low level of participation, and low level of sales, I’m still getting some money back. Imagine what can happen if each of my team members did exactly what I’m doing right now. As an Executive Affiliate, I have the ability to move members from my direct line into anyones downline. I will still earn a commission no matter where in the downline they are. If your hedging.. keep this in mind. You will also have the same ability to do the same for your downline. If even 10 of the 200 affiliates on my team became EA, and I moved some of those affiliates under each and every one of them, those who participated using this method, would be in the instant income on multiple levels with SFI Marketing.
If you are on my team. Be sure to contact me through any and all ways you can to get yourself in a better income bracket. This is a team. Are You A Team Player?

You will notice that there was a drastic drop in commissions paid out in the recent months.
Maxmalls payouts especially have dropped considerably for a couple of reasons.
I’m still looking into this, as I should have been getting paid for 4 shares each month that I maintained EA status. You will notice I am only getting paid for 1 share in maxmalls, even though I maintained EA status, up till last month. I refuse to pay any more money into this program as I have lost all incentive to continue.
So last month after getting no explanation for why the drastic drops in commissions, overrides, and EyeEarn commissions since their change to the system a few months ago, I’ve decided not to maintain EA status by using IAHBE.
So now my tools access is limited. I no longer have access to the tracker, advanced gene reports. The method I was using, no longer works for me. Its a shame, as i’ve just gotten started this year on major promo’s, sigups thru the co-op I was running was just starting to take off. But since I have no more money to throw away on this venture, and because of the most recent update….. I do beleive all my hard work will be taken away from me. I will not be able to attain ea status without any tools.
This versa points system is great for getting new members active. But I do beleive it will be the fall of SFI in the long run.

Hi,
You said “The method I’m using to retain my Executive Affiliate status is a standing order for IAHBE”.
That means every month you spend $29.95 for subscription to IAHBE, then earn $15-$20 from SFI. Something is wrong here. Can you please, explain me, what I’m missing here.
Thanks
Thank you for your comment Alba98.
I’ve almost completely forgotten about this screenshot page that was posted quite a while ago.
It was posted long before there was a huge change to the sfi commission structure.
I personally used IAHBE to maintain EA status, and was actually getting a return back thru the executive bonuses, overrides on the previous system.
it has now changed, where I see less return, only because they now do not allow me to get a return back from my personal purchases.
The screenshots are to show you how much I made , and yes they did pay me when i requested a payout.
IAHBE is one of the resources I do recommend, to any marketer regardless of whether they are part of SFI, or not.
If you are an SFI Affiliate, and you are looking for a cheap alternative, which will also help you maintain EA status, and also teach you how other marketers have built a successful business online, this is a huge library that deals with several topics such as offline marketing methods, customer retention. The methods can be applied to any offline business such as a physical store.
IAHBE is a digital subscription, so there are no shipping and handling charges. So pretty much anybody in the world can purchase a membership to this site without any extra costs being incurred.
The current system that sfi uses right now is called the versa points system. A purchase in your first month of any product or service is not required to attain EA status, but your second month you will find that acquiring points to maintain EA status will be very difficult unless you are a great team builder. As long as your team keeps growing, and maintaining EA status, you will move up in the system to a higher status, which also unlocks more bonus commissions.
**PLEASE NOTE: If you or your team does not generate a sale there will be no commissions earned by you or any of your affiliates regardless of your status.
SFI is free, and is for life or for as long as you are opted in to be an affiliate.
The screenshots were meant to show you what would happen if you generated any sales in your team, or from direct sales.
Most of my promotion online was towards IAHBE as I have used it personally, both to maintain EA status, and to make use of the huge library of information which I could access any time of the day.
I’m terrible at making sales, but when I did make a sale, I got a good commission from it.
Do the math based on the numbers I’ve provided to see how many sales you would have to make, in order to make enough money each month to replace your current income. The commission from sales of IAHBE are pretty good when you compare it to other products.
Your commissions from IAHBE if you manage to retain a customer, can be huge over time because you are not just getting a
one time commission from your sale, you will get a commission every month from the customer you acquired.
If you gained 2 customers, and they maintained their membership fee each month, your return would be paying for your membership each month, maybe even a little more. Also keep in mind that if a sale generates from one of your team members, you will also earn a part of the sale as well. This goes infinitely deep in your downline.
The last screenshot show the returns I got back for referring a customer who did purchase IAHBE.
If I had gotten another customer, It basically would have paid for my membership each month.
My main concentration has been on referring people to the business, so my commissions payouts are not as high as they could have been if my concentration was on generating sales.
You do not have to be an IAHBE member to sell this product. But if your new to marketing, I do recommend you take the free 30 day trial and check it out. You may be pleasantly surprised at what they can teach you. Most of what I do these days has been learned from IAHBE and the SFI tutorials. Everything you learn from these 2 resources can be applied to any business, whether its online or offline.
If IAHBE does not appeal to you for maintaining your EA status, there are also other selections available in your standing order area,
such as triple clicks credits. For each new customer you refer to Triple clicks, a credit is deducted from your TC account and given to the new customer. So if your a guru at referring customers, its another alternative to maintain your EA status.
Keep your TC credits topped up.(no shipping and handling fees on this one either)
I hope this clarifies things for you.
To your success,
Lyle Kannenberg
