You can easily maintain EA status with IAHBE membership for $29.95 Standing Order, stress free! But for a shoe string budget, here is what you can do:

1. For a 30-day month, doing your daily, weekly and monthly actions completely gives you 492 VP.

2. As an Executive Affiliate, you will be awarded 10 TCredits. And if you are a Wave3 member, another 5 TCredits and 50 MRP. You can purchase 10 eBooks with a combination of these and get to do reviews for the books 7 days later. That

Maintaining your EA status on a shoestring budget is not hard. The first thing you need to know upfront is that with very little money to invest your will have to invest a lot of time - at least 3 to 4 hours per day advertising on the free traffic exchanges. Without a definite strategy, this free advertising will appear to be mundane and fruitless! Been there and done that and I still use free ad exchanges.

Free ad exchanges are excellent sources of hits and not so much on referrals

2.Get 5 points each week for clicking on your Tconnect page a total of 20 points a month.

3.Get 2 points every day for checking out the latest items at tripleclicks which gives you 56 points per month.

First, you write your goal on a paper near your computer and on the refrigerator and on your morning mirrow. Then you determine how much money you canspend on reaching that goal. Now add 10% to that to make you stretch a little.

Sit down and list on the paper near your computer that amount right under your goal.And then on that same paper list all of the available pointspossible from the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly activities.Remember that if you have a standing order of 1500 vp, you again

This is the worry of many affiliates. First month you qualify as an EA simply setting up your profile and accomplishing a few tasks. Second month the headache begins. Retaining your status.
Shoe string budget, it can be used sparingly. Best option is to go the S-Builder Co-op way. This is the single option that is most effective. Taking care of the shoe string budget as well as looking forward to get affiliates with SFI or ECA. If this is done month after month the ECA will help you to handle

Its very simple for a beginner. But here what I am to say is for the person in the third month.
For becoming EA you can get approximately 500 VP from the action VP in TO DO LIST then you can have 10 single T credits for 1.99$ each so the total of 19.9$ and you are EA.
So simple.!

Maintaining your EA status on a shoe string budget shouldn't be a problem. Simply create a Standing Order for a pack of 100 Tcredits at $22. This action earns you 1200 VPs. A greater part of the points required will have being gotten.

Then you can do either of 2 things.

1 If you are the type who visits your homepage daily, various combinations of actions can yield you the remaining 300 points required.

2 Or you can simply use your Purchased Tcredits to purchase other

It was very easy to reach EA position for a newcomer but for your second month would then be tough. But the easiest way to get 1500 VP is set a standing order, once that is setup, you have nothing to worry about. But if you can't afford to have standing order but have some little amount in your pocket that you can spare to buy stuffs in TripleClicks, I would suggest you get a Wave3. It will give you freebies each month like Tcredits and MRP. Use those Tcredits and MRPs to purchase stuffs in TripleClicks,

If an affiliate has a tight budget, maintaining his EA status could still be feasible by committing himself to do the following tasks:
1. On a daily basis you can earn 11 VP for a total of 330 points within a regular month by visiting your SFI homepage and clicking the "to-do list" tabs after reviewing the information on it.
2. On a weekly basis, you can visit your “TConnect Page” (5 each week), send email via PSA, CSA, Genealogy mail system (30 each week).
3. On a monthly
