Complete your To-Do List on a daily basis, buy TCredits (you can double or triple or etc. your orders in order to double your VPs), participate in auctions using your TCredits, and if you have enough MRP (Member Rewards Points), use those to purchase stuff on TripleClicks in order to earn even more VPs. There are so many strategies on SFI in order to be successful. Always take advantage of those strategies because the good thing is that there isn't just one.
