Enjoy all those mighty TCredits and your new badge! <><><><><><><><><><><> NEW ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT TOOL: BLOCK LIST We recently introduced a new business tool to help you: * Opt out from receiving messages from affiliates you prefer not to hear from. * Analyze the responses of your own messages and mailings. Currently, you can individually block: * Stream posts * Private messages (TeamMail) * Group mailings (PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, Genealogy Group Mailer) For each of the above, just look for the new "Block" button or link where you receive the message. Click it, add your reason for blocking, and submit. The person will now be listed on your Block List here: http://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/BlockList You can unblock someone just as easily. Simply go to your Block List and click the appropriate "Unblock" button. At the top of your Block List, in the light gray box, are the statistics of people who have blocked YOU. And while we do not divulge WHO is blocking you, you can read the reasons they've opted out by clicking the "See reasons for blocks" link. Note! This information can be invaluable in helping you learn how to best communicate with your team members, so check your stats at least once a week. When you do a big mailing, for example, check to see if anyone has blocked you and the reasons given. Depending on this feedback, you MAY need to change your tone, leave certain topics out, or improve your writing in some fashion in your future mailings. That said, do NOT get hung up on a few people opting out and complaining about your messages. You will never please everyone, and it is a recipe for lifetime unhappiness to try! Don't get upset if a small percentage of your group opt out. Ignore it (remember, you can't please everyone). However, if the numbers are significant (percentage-wise), definitely do take heed. The last thing you want to be doing is turning off your team with inappropriate messages. So DO listen to the feedback and take action when it's warranted. <><><><><><><><><><><> DID YOU GET YOUR FREE TCREDITS THIS MONTH? Commissions and perks have been processed for April, and we wanted to remind you that if you were at least a second-month EA (Executive Affiliate) in April, we've added 10-20 free TCredits to your account! To confirm how many TCredits you have available to use, just log in at http://www.tripleclicks.com. 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, download songs from TripleClicks Music, and more. FOR ALL THE GREAT WAYS TO USE YOUR TCREDITS, SEE: http://www.tripleclicks.com/MightyTCredits.php NOTE: You can use your TCredits as you wish and at any time, but they do expire one year from receipt. <><><><><><><><><><><> POLICY CHANGE ON TCREDIT TRANSFERS Effective immediately, due to a new exploit we've discovered, affiliates are now required to be at least an EA2 (multi-month Executive Affiliate) to transfer TCredits to PSAs/CSAs. <><><><><><><><><><><> TRIPLECLICKS GIFT CARD POLICY CHANGE In response to continued fraud and abuse, we have changed our TC Gift Card policy. Effective immediately, SFI Affiliates may hand out only ONE TripleClicks Gift Card to each prospective TC Member. Handing out TC Gift Cards to existing TC members (including fellow SFI Affiliates) is also now prohibited. ______________________________________________________ YOUR WEEKLY TIP Navigating the SFI Affiliate Center Your SFI Affiliate Center home page provides you with a wealth of information about the latest SFI news, notices, and statistics; your own to-do list, daily business tips, streaming posts from you and your team members, and a2a access to other affiliates; and much more!

"I was never involved in any online marketing business before. I can say I am lucky to have found SFI because I have learned a lot since I became an affiliate. With all the free training tools, power tips and support from other affiliates, I know I will have a great future in this business! Thank you SFI!" --M. Chi "I joined SFI in 2011. Worked for a month then left. I came back in 2014 and decided to become an active member, and I am so glad I did. I have earned a ranking of Bronze Team Leader and am working to get Silver. I am a retired school teacher, and this is a great opportunity to earn a little or lot of second income." --M. Larzelere "I have been in MLM and Network Marketing (offline) for several years. None have come close to SFI. FREE training and resources, free Gateways, access to the forums where leaders answer questions and the best of all--worldwide exposure 24/7/365. SFI has a solid foundation that our business can be built upon." --R. Spray "SFI is the only system I have found that does not require money up front to get started. I signed up for SFI without spending a penny and spent several days reading through the plethora of information, which is well thought out and explained in plain language. When I decided to put a few dollars into the system, it was my choice, not a requirement, and I did it when it was convenient for me. I am really looking forward to running with this system and improving my future. Thank you, SFI!!!" --R.
