PSAs, CSAs and Commission: Your Bottom Line
PSAs are your personally sponsored affiliates. These are the people you recruit, and they will be the most valuable members of your team. You earn 45% of commission value on everything they purchase at TripleClicks. They are also the ones who will build a team of their own - and their whole team will be part of your downline. If you earn and maintain a position as a Team Leader (Bronze or above), you will earn matching VP points on everyone EA2 (or higher) in your downline. This is where you can make big money. If you recruit active PSAs who build a good team beneath them, they are gold. (You should reward them for it, too!)
You can get PSAs by purchasing them at TripleClicks (packs of 15, 30, 45, 70, 150, 250 or 500), joining the S-Builder Co-op, or winning them at Pricebenders penny auctions. However, the most valuable PSAs are the ones you recruit yourself. There are lots of ways to recruit people. Doesn't pretty much everyone want to make extra money? :) Check here for Ways to Sponsor Affiliates or here for some other ideas.
CSAs are co-sponsored affiliates. These people are also extremely valuable. You won't make any money from their downline, but you will earn 15% of commission value from everything they purchase at TripleClicks. If you are a Team Leader (Bronze or above), you will also earn matching VP on your CSAs.
You can get CSAs by winning Pricebender penny auctions, winning daily drawings, or by maintaining Executive Affiliate (or higher) status. EAs receive a minimum of two CSAs, which Team Leaders earn many more than that. These are awarded the month following your qualification.
CSAs can be very valuable. However, if you do not maintain at least an EA status (1500 VP for the month), you will lose all your CSAs. Don't let that happen!
The best way to avoid this is to set up a standing order for at least 1500 VP per month, so you will not risk losing these valuable assets. The most common standing orders are for IAHBE, which costs $29.95 a month, or a 125 TCredit Pak for $36.25. Both of these will give you the required 1500VP to remain an EA, but the TCredit pack can give you a bonus of up to125 action VP for the month when you bid on Pricebenders, and up to 625 MRP points as well.
As you grow your business, getting CSAs and active PSAs will continue to increase your income. You want to support these members of your team, help them out when they need it, and encourage them to build their own teams. I think that the matching VP commissions you can earn from these members of your team is well worth the investment of a standing order to make sure you don't lose any team members.
