At first, my focus was almost entirely on earning VersaPoints, and while that does allow one to get to Executive Affiliate and the lower-tier Team Leader ranks, it doesn't earn as much income as directly promoting TripleClicks' products. Not only does it earn you commissions, but it also earns you Sales VP at the same time. If you're in this to earn money, that's where I would suggest you choose to focus, as well.
