Referring ECAs is the more potentially profitable activity.

Why?

The reason that stands out most for me is that when a PRM purchases from an ECA I referred, it doesn't matter who referred that PRM to TripleClicks - it didn't have to be me - I still earn.

Time is money. I want to refer both PRMs and ECAs, but I can spend less time on referring PRMs when very many others are referring PRMs (and I can make money from their efforts if those PRMs are buying from ECAs I referred.)

It's just me alone referring PRMs - If I refer one PRM, I earn SVP and commissions if they make a purchase from any ECA, but I make nothing from that ECA if I didn't refer that ECA.

If I refer one ECA, thousands of affiliates are referring PRMs who may purchase from the ECA I referred.

Referring ECAs will probably be more profitable in the long run, but both can be very profitable.

Here's why.

A PRM is a customer.

They may buy a few things, play games, bid in auctions, or download music; whatever it was that first attracted them to TripleClicks. You make a direct commission on every purchase they make.

Also, they may decide that they want a piece of the action, so they become an SFI affiliate, and your business grows. There is a lot of potential income there, so keep referring PRMs!

An ECA is effectively an online store.

If they are successful, and have some good products, you will earn referral commissions on every sale, for as long as they are active. If they sell 1000 products in a year, you make a small amount on every one of those 1000 sales.

You can also promote their products yourself, driving more customers to their store, and earning you direct commissions on those purchases!

And even if a prospect doesn't become an ECA, you may be able to convert them into a PRM, buying advertising or marketing products from another ECA, and earning you more direct commissions.

Bottom line.

Refer both!

Hope this helps.

Good day Allison,

From my own experience, I would recommend you do both. Why? Because both PRMs and ECAs contributes immensely to the growth of your business.

For ECAs, you can start earning your income more quickly, than that of PRMs. In view of PRMs, money spent by the PRM buying products on TripleClicks, playing in the auctions, playing the EZgames etc. For every action that a PRM takes, commissions are earned by you as well as AVP for goods purchased on tripleclicks as the PRM is not an SFI affiliate. The extra AVP as well as MRP (courtesy of the All New Wave3) will assist you build your ranks and SFI business.

In recruiting ECAs, you will earn 100VP when your referred ECA makes its first $10 in sales, earn 10% onsales made by your ECA referrals. Not only that, you will receive special offers, deals, etc. from your ECA. Not to mention 55% (with the combination of Direct Commissions and ECA Royalties) of the CV on any sales generated.The good thing is that you are not directly involved with marketing the ECA products,but you get continious commissions. According to TripleClicks, the theme is "Spread the Word", so your marketing has no boundary.

In addition, the more sales that are earned from TC Sales, the more CV's will go towards the TC Executive Pool, which also means, more commissions for you, from both your ECAs and PRMs

From above, it can be seen as a win win situation with a higher commission as you are not only getting income from your PRMs, but also through your ECAs.

In summary, recruiting both, PRMs and ECAs, you would have several different flows of income coming in and building up a very successful business for yourself.

Don't just limit yourself to just one type of recruitment as the advantages are enormous and alot of free learning aids to help grow your business.

Hope I was able to help.

All the best.

They are both great tools for potential profitable activity. But in different
Ways.

When you refer PRM’s you will get 45 % of CV Direct Commission plus
you also earn all the VersaPoints on the order too if they are not an SFI affiliate!

Now when you Refer ECA’s you will earn 10 % of CV as well as VersaPoints.
On their sale.

Now which one benefit you more is depending on the volume of sales from your
ECA’s and the volume of purchase from your PRM’s.

If your ECA’s sales thousands of products even hundreds each day that 10% CV
Will Surpass what you will earn from your PRM’s 45% CV.
On the other hand if your PRM’s purchase at the same rate or even 1/3 of the
volume like your ECA’s sales No doubt it will be more profitable.

But as for me I will think more ECA’s product sales are more profitable with the
Fact they are moving more products than your PRM’s buying every day, just
Because of the volume.

Thanks for this question.

We are in this business to earn money.

We are supposed to exploit all available avenues so that we can grow & succeed.

SFI provides umpteen number of equal opportunities to every one to win.

Referring PRMs, Creating ECAs are all such opportunities that have their advantages. But, everything depends on us as to how we make use of them.

1. PRMs - Other wise known as Personally Referred Members are people who are introduced to
TripleClicks through our own efforts. As and when they buy products, we earn applicable
Commission and VersaPoints. If they don't buy, we get Nothing.

2. ECAs - You refer companies that have attractive products, to TripleClicks. When they are
approved they become ECAs. when ever Sales take place, you earn appropriate commission
on such sales, continuously through out your life. The more ECAs you create, the more
opportunities you create for yourself to earn more and more.

They can add more and more products once they study the Member's requirements. The more
members buy and rate them high due to their price, product quality & service, there will be more
sales for them and more income for us. It holds high potential for income opportunities.

Summary:

Of the two, I would suggest referring and creating more and more ECAs. Once ECAs are created and products listed, we can promote them every where and help them sell more and more of their products. The more we help them sell, the more we tend to earn.

On the other hand, we depend on the purchase of products by PRMs to earn income. Once they become TC Members, we will have no control over them since all communications to them will go directly from TripleClicks.

Focus more and more on ECAs by referring companies that have attractive products and if any individual is willing to buy products from TripleClicks help them to do so. But, do not put any pressure on them.

Hello Allison,
1. Both PRMs and ECAs referral programs are profitable activities. Both systems have been designed to generate sales and maximize your potential earnings in order to establish lifetime residual income.
The potential profitability of each of the referral programs will be dependent on their respective factors as appended below:-
i) PRMs
a) There is a wide variety of products from Triple Clicks which a prospective personally referred member can choose from and buy his choice, so that you can earn commission.
b).You earn 45% of the CV of product purchased by your PRM.
c) You become a WAVE-3 member for 120 days, by referring a PRM and also reap the other benefits that go along with it.
d) The level of intensity of PRMs TripleClicks’ products purchases and promotion, which include the W3 program referring method of building networks of PRMs,will determine significantly the potential profitability.
e) PRM can easily be acquired by placing ads referring friends, relatives, colleagues and people in your network.
f) PRM need to sign up and buy their chosen product.
g) There are chances sales may not happen depending upon the shipping cost of your referral’s country. If the shipping cost of selected product to your referrals country is high, the tendency is that the prospect may not buy.

ii) ECAs
a) Promotion factor of ECAs to your down line. Every member in your down line you refer as ECA will increase your potential earnings.
b) The level of intensity of ECAs’ products/services promotion will affect lifetime royalty commissions
c) ECAs consistency of acquiring new customers to increase their customer base.
d) Demand & attractiveness of ECA- products/services to the customers. Competitive pricing?
e) When you refer an ECA you will receive 10% of the commission value from the sales of every product that is sold from that ECA. That is 10% of the commission value of every single sale that ECA makes no matter who they are selling products to.
f) You will receive royalties for as long as that store is actively selling products.
3. The time spent in promoting both referral programs will define the potential profitability. The more time invested, the higher the chances of achieving the potential profitability of a referral program.
4. The common features between these two income streams are:-
a) You are paid a commission through the selling/purchasing of products from Triple Clicks.
b) Both referral programs can be promoted through offline (traditional) and (online)digital marketing activities
c)The promotion scheme of both referral programs are ably supported with the latest marketing strategies aimed to achieve success..
d) Both referral programs are potentially profitable making it possible to establish a lifetime residual income and thereby achieving your long term goal.
By complementing each other, the volume of profit can be raised.
5. However,we are not aware of the purchasing habits of each PRM except to know “when” they do purchase you are rewarded. Frequency of purchase by PRMs can vary time to time; the income stream is good but it is not to consistent and depends entirely on the whims & fancy of each different PRM you have referred.
6.The commissions earned from your referred ECA are lower than that of a PRM except for the fact that you will receive commissions on all products that are sold through that ECA. This income stream is much more stable because the ECA is actively attempting to sell products daily. So more or else the low percentage of commissions is compensated to some extent!
Conclusion:
Keeping in view of the above quoted factors, I would conclude that both PRMs & ECAs are profitable.Therefore we should adopt both these methods to develop our business in SFI!
Hope this was useful.

Hello, Alison:

This is my opinion about which is potentially more profitable, referring PRMs or ECAs.

Although PRMs (personally referred TripleClicks members) can potentially give you a lot of sales at TripleClicks, in many cases, unless you have a personal relationship with the PRM, their purchases will be few and far between. You can entice them with gift certificates, but that will cut into your profits.

So, to generate a high volume of PRM sales at TripleClicks on a regular basis, you will need to keep recruiting a high volume of new PRMs on a regular basis. While that is definitely a good thing that EVERY SFI affiliate should be doing, it boils down to being a sales business where you have to consistently put enough effort into filling your sales funnel to get the desired results.

On the other hand, when you sign up ECAs (E-Commerce Associates) who are serious, professional business people, they will do their share of marketing and promoting to draw customers and sales, and their consistent efforts have the potential to give you a steady, ongoing source of residual income.

Having said that, I know it can be quite challenging to find good ECAs who see the potential of marketing online through TripleClicks. But consider this:

What if you were to identify, say, five or 10 businesses or services local to your area who want to use the Internet to promote their business and generate sales. You help them get set up as an ECA. They advertise their business or service on TripleClicks (through their ECA store). They advertise using local sources to let local buyers know that there is NOW a convenient way to order and pay for goods from their business online and all they have to do is walk into the establishment and pick up their purchase!

The ECA will grow their business. Their customers get an easy way to shop online before going to pick up their item(s), and you, as the ECA referrer, earn your commissions and benefits!

Bottom line to your original question: I say it is better to sign up a few good ECAs who generate many sales each than it is for you to have to keep chasing down PRMs one at a time.

(But keep in mind that all SFI affiliates should work on recruiting BOTH PRMs and ECAs.)

A sale is a sale is a sale. We will earn commission and VP if a PRM makes a purchase or an ECA makes a sale. PRMs can be big or small spenders, and ECAs can sell a lot or a little with high or low commission volume. So the potential profitability is based on which generates the most sales.

Truely it can be either PRM or ECA or both, potentially. Your success will come from the one you are able to develop the most. The group to focus on first will be the one you either feel more comfortable with or have the most experience with. Once that is established for yourself, you can follow the training and use the marketing material that SFI provides to aid in your promotions of PRMs and/or ECAs.

Hard question both ways are very profitable for you.

Here is an example from PRMs you get regular commisions every time when they buy and you become with them a Wave Maker,but no one exactly knows and can garanty you that they will buy something every month.

On the ECA referal program you get 100 action VersaPoints only one time when they make a sale over 10 $ and also direct commisions every time when they make a sale, your ECAs are promoted all over the world through SFI affiliates and it is posible that they can make sales every month with good products so i think think refering ECAs is a more profitable for you.

Hope this answer helps regards...

To me both PRMs and ECAs are good.If you are able to recruite,go ahead and recruite many of them.Because both of these two create a stream of income for you.
If you have a good number of PRMs,then your income is likely to sky rock.Because anytime a PRM buys anything from tripleclicks ,you earn all the direct commissionfrom that product.Together with the direct commission,you also earn all the VPs on that product.These VPs are very important to any affilliate;because:
1.they determine your pay perks
2 .They determine your rank.The more VPs you get the faster your rank will go.You will also qualify with ease as an EA each month.
With ECAs if you have them it is good,because you will be able to earn 15%direct commission from all sales from your ECAs.
So the more streams of earnings you will have,the more your income will be.It is good and advisable to have both of them.
Also the more ECAs we have ,the better for SFI/tripleclicks.More ECAs means more products for tripleclicks.More products means more sales and more sales means more money.
