30 January 2014 - Points to expire

Too bad! These versapoints keep expiring, and I see some other affiliates only keep increasing. This means they weren't so active in the beginning and now start to take off. However, the question is, who in the end will be the strongest placed, those that started strong and kept steady growing, or those who didn't do much in the beginning and now have saved some strength to buy more. Well, ultimately, the best will win.

Yesterday I started with my SFI in 90 days program. It is a great and inspiring program led by the top affiliate for my country, Belgium, Joaquin Ayala, who gives tips and teachings in 90 days to become successful with your SFI business. First point, goals, those people who have goals in their life, will get there at their goal. Others who have no goals and just live from day to day will end up nowhere, confused and lost.

So, over 1500 vp gone, expired today again. A nice drop in versapoints, but in 2 days I will have my standing order. Mary Horn keeps growing, though at some point, end of April especially, she should suffer an enormous drop in versapoints. She grew from about 11,000 to almost 30,000 in October last year, and after that, kept growing only slowly. As for me, some drops in versapoints will keep happening, but not that enormous big ones. I made a study by date, how many vp I should lose from Tripleclicks sales.

30 January 2014 – 1500 vp from Aug. 12^th 2013

31 January 2014 – 22 vp

27 February 2014 – 694 vp

28 February 2014 – 102 vp

1 March 2014 – 1661 vp

11 March 2014 – 1200 vp

27 March 2014 – 5069 vp

31 March 2014 – 1661 + 316 = 1977 vp

6 April 2014 – 25 vp

18 April 2014 – 694 vp

24 April 2014 – 1200 vp

1 May 2014 – 1661 + 316 = 1977 vp

7 May 2014 – 142 + 215 = 357 vp

8 May 2014 – 2472 vp

20 May 2014 – 694 vp

21 May 2014 – 1200 vp

31 May 2014 – 1200 + 316 = 1516 vp

5 June 2014 – 1500 vp

7 June 2014 – 1200 + 69 = 1269 vp

19 June 2014 – 694 vp

Of course, there will be more, since these are only from Tripleclicks sales. However, daily, weekly and monthly actions are going on as usual, so there is no loss or gain on that level. And I'm bound on buying lots of Tcredits still and bid on Pricebenders auctions, so who knows what I may win. 

As for the ranking today, with my loss of Tcredits, here we go:

1. Mary Horn - 42,487 VP  (+2867)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 40,902 VP   (+9110)
3. June Todd - 33,322 VP (+8773)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 26,400 VP   (+2618)
5. Christina Ings - 22,133 VP   (+2664)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 18,718 VP (+1712)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,108 VP  (+1926)

8. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,396 VP  (+86)

9. Muzi Maseko - 13,481 VP  ( +1142)

10. Betabasi Daniel - not contending

27 January 2014 - First again

I'll probably not hold this position for long, but for now I'm first in the E365 ranking. Feels good to see your picture at the #1 spot there. My versapoints won't be expending much these days, only at the end of March I'll have a big drop of over 5,000 points, but for the rest I'm kind of generating more points now than I did 6 month ago. It remains a big mystery what Mary Horn will be doing further.

The Ranking for today is as follows:

1. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 42,255 VP   (+8989)

2. Mary Horn - 42,037 VP  (+2417)
3. June Todd - 31,716 VP (+7112)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 26,403 VP   (+2618)
5. Christina Ings - 22,484 VP   (+2664)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 20,269 VP (+1712)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,108 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko - 15,923 VP  ( +1142)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,395 VP  (+86)

10. Betabasi Daniel - not contending

June Todd apparently bought 100 Tcredits since last time. I saw her bidding in some auctions. Mary and Vojko bought 1 Tcredit, I think. Christina increased with about 550 vp. 

23 January 2014 - Neck to neck

There we are, almost at position #1, it's only a question of how many Mary's versapoints will expire and how much she will purchase new and make sales that will determine who will win. I'm all ready for it. I could buy some Tcredits from my saved MRP, but I'll wait and see what points will expire for her.

Let's see the ranking for today:

1. Mary Horn - 41,969 VP  (+2315)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 41,876 VP   (+8603)
3. June Todd - 30,491 VP (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 26,287 VP   (+2502)
5. Christina Ings - 21,932 VP   (+2112)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 20,891 VP (+1712)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,124 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko - 16,072 VP  ( +1142)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,355 VP  (+36)

10. Betabasi Daniel - 13,162 VP (+1500)

New face in the Top 10, and it looks like Anil Radalage won't be coming back. Unfortunately for Betabasi, he got disqualified in an earlier round of the E365 contest, so he won't be competing for the Championship. Nevertheless, I will still keep posting the Top 10 out of curiosity. If more members fall away, perhaps I switch to only the Top 5.

21 January 2014 - Back at the top

Fever. A sort of fever to buy more Tcredits. Did my next batch of vitamins the day before yesterday and thought to add 100 Tcredits to my order, because it appeared my Quickbuy for Tcredits had been put on hold because I wanted to pay with my credit card. Hmmm, why do they call it Quickbuy then, when it appeared like my order had not even be registered. It wasn't visible in the Open Orders section in Tripleclick's member center. Anyway, yesterday that order got processed, probably when an admin went through the list. So, I've got now 200 Tcredits, where I planned to buy 100. Nothing lost though, I can still use them next month.

That led us of course to generate a lot of versapoints and for a moment I was at #1 position again at the ranking. However, Mary beat me again out of that first position. Will she be able to hold it? I don't think so. I buy more than she does, apparently.

So, for the ranking at this moment.

1. Mary Horn - 41,908 VP  (+2254)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 41,863 VP   (+8603)
3. June Todd - 30,483 VP (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 26,265 VP   (+2502)
5. Christina Ings - 21,898 VP   (+2112)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 20,887 VP (+1712)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,112 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko - 16,066 VP  ( +1142)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,353 VP  (+36)

10. Anil Radalage - 11,849 VP   -- soon to go out again

Victor De Legarreta bought some Tcredits 1500 vp on the 20th?

18 January 2014 - Bid a lot

Yesterday I bid about 50 Tcredits, but it was a heavy competition. I watched some videos on Youtube about how to win penny auctions, but you never know, you may follow those tactics they teach on those videos, and still not win. It always is a matter of luck. There is a guy who said he won practically every auction he bid on, lucky for him, but when I apply the same rules he did, I am not winning. It's weird.

Let's see the ranking for today.

1. Mary Horn - 41,583 VP  (+1948)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 38,555 VP   (+5295)
3. June Todd - 30,724 VP (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 26,333 VP   (+2502)
5. Christina Ings - 22,858 VP   (+2112)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 19,444 VP  (+212)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,096 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko - 15,880 VP  ( +940)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,393 VP  (+36)

10. Anil Radalage - 12,036 VP   --

16 January 2014 - Youtube day

I had some nice fun today making some videos with instructions on how to work your SFI business. Lovely program, this Ashampoo 6, which I got with my purchase of an Advanced System Care Pro. A great antivirus and clean-up program by the way, which I advise everyone to have to repair any registry and other computer problems. It really sweeps your PC clean.
About the videos, right, watch my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/boonga108.

To be a leader means to teach, and that's what I'm good at. I will be making some more videos in the coming days, so subscribe to my channel to be posted when my next videos are coming online.

As for todays E365 ranking, not much changed, my versapoints are more or less equal, all the while they are increasing, some old ones are decreasing my score. Luckily it happens to the other contestants too. There are only 2 contestants I fear a little, Mary Horn and June Todd. It appears Vojko is sinking back more and the others are far below my level. But.... who knows, all can still change.

Here's today's score.

1. Mary Horn - 41,670 VP  (+1948)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 38,395 VP   (+4989)
3. June Todd - 30,716 VP  (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 26,232 VP   (+2400)
5. Christina Ings - 22,756 VP   (+2010)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 19,420 VP  (+212)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,101 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko - 16,094 VP  ( +940)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,396 VP  (+36)

10. Anil Radalage - 12,094 VP   --

14 January 2014 - Continued

Nothing really special happened so far today. It was a busy day with work. Thus we will just take a short time to look at the ranking now.

1. Mary Horn - 41,932 VP  (+1948)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 38,412 VP   (+4989)
3. June Todd - 30,741 VP  (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 27,592 VP   (+2400)
5. Christina Ings - 22,809 VP   (+2010)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 19,494 VP  (+212)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,140 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko - 15,992 VP  ( +840)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,392 VP  (+36)

10. Anil Radalage - 12,580 VP   --

Alina Prisecaru lost a lot of points and dropped back to position  12, means Anil is back in the Top 10, but... for how long?

13 Jan 2014 - Over 1500 vp gone

Today I lost over 1500 vp from my standing order 6 months ago. It will be fun to see Mary's vp drop when she comes to expire her vp that made her jump to the #1 position somewhere in October last year. That means in April this year she might just drop very badly from her first position, unless of course she makes a lot of new points. So that's my plan for now, make a lot of new versapoints so that I might even catch her by even before April.

Let's look at the ranking today:

1. Mary Horn - 41,929 VP  (+1948)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 38,069 VP   (+4683)
3. June Todd - 30,771 VP  (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 27,596 VP   (+2400)
5. Christina Ings - 22,817 VP   (+2010)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 19,493 VP  (+212)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,128 VP  (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko -  15,878 VP  ( +738)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,402 VP  (+36)

10. Alina Prisecaru - 12,927 VP   --

It seems that, except for Mary, almost everyone went down today or at least stayed at status quo.

12 January 2014 - A new addition

Just thought it would be nice to have an estimation of the amount of versapoints we all would have at the end of the E365 Contest. So I went calculating this morning with my VP Ledger and wrote down how many versapoints are actually never expiring and how many are expiring. These are my findings.

Versapoints not expiring

1525 from various activities including 450 from Launchpad, 270 from visiting pages and 100 for placing a banner on your site.

Versapoints expiring

All points from TC purchases, sales, daily red tab clicks, Standing Order, rating sponsor, setting goals, stream posts, Mailer messages, reviewing TConnect page, product reviews, leadership commissions, E365 contest bonuses, Daily Grand, gift card distribution, auction bids etc.

And then I thought I will add a number to my ranking reports with the increases in versapoints for each one of us since the 24th of December last year, because those versapoints wouldn't expire by the time the contest ends on the 22nd of June. OK, some numbers may be approximate, because in the daily results, there are vp expiring and there are new versapoints created, however we can get a very good idea, knowing that standing orders will have a particular amount in them. Accepting that everybody will click his/her red tabs every day, and the amount of vp remains equal in that way, we will just add a fixed amount of vp of 1980 to the increased amount and not consider those in that number. We will only look for standing order vp and other irregular changes. 

1525 + 1980 = 3505 will be added to the last number for our estimation. 

Now we get todays E365 Ranking.

1. Mary Horn - 41,890 VP  (+1909)

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 39,442 VP   (+4581)
3. June Todd - 30,770 VP  (+5887)

4. Vojko Postruznik - 27,623 VP   (+2400)
5. Christina Ings - 23,499 VP   (+2010)
6. Victor De Legarreta - 19,562 VP   (+212)
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,134 VP   (+1926)

8. Muzi Maseko -  16,547 VP  ( +738)

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,405 VP  (+36)

10. Alina Prisecaru - 13,374 VP   --

Looking back upon previous months, here are some estimations about who has a Standing Order reularly being fulfilled each month at the same date: 

Mary Horn - 1500 on the 10th

Dirk Vanderdonckt - 1516 on the 1st

June Todd - 1661 on the 8th

Victor De Legaretta - 1500 on the 10th

Vojko Postruznik - 1500 on the 10th

Shanda Secondi - 1800 on the 10th

Christina Ings - 650 on the 1st, 500 on the 7th?

10 January 2014 - Surprise

I bought a S-Builder Co-op and a pack of 25 Affiliates today at Tripleclicks. $22 + $25. I hope all this investing in SFI will pay out some day. It should, provided some clever affiliates will be joining my team and I will make some commissions from them. LOL Anyway, I also discovered with a relatively small amount of MRP you can get great prizes like a smartphone, iPad or other stuff at the Rewards Page at Tripleclicks.

Now a happy surprise today. Yes, it is the 10th of the month again and my EA2 Status/ Bronze Team Leadership has been re-confirmed. This resulted in 12 bonus Tcredits. 13 Tcredits converts to 130 MRP and with this I can buy a 1 Tcredit package giving me an additional 102 vp. Great building. I think Mary feels the heat coming up her back.

For today, the E365 Ranking is:

1. Mary Horn - 40,427 VP

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 39,532 VP
3. June Todd - 30,771 VP

4. Vojko Postruznik - 27,658 VP
5. Christina Ings - 23,396 VP
6. Victor De Legarreta - 20,015 VP
7. Shanda Secondi - 18,098 VP

8. Muzi Maseko -  17,010 VP

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15,387 VP

10. Alina Prisecaru - 13,384 VP

The 10th of the month is again the time for some of our contestants to have their Standing Order fulfilled. That shakes up the ranking a bit again. And I'm less than 1000 vp from the Top position.

9 January 2014 - Great Millions Team

Today I was working on my new promotion site Great Millions. I think it will be a nice lead generation program. Bit out of focus now, I have been bidding too much on a 300 Tcredit pack auction yesterday and didn't win, which left me a bit disappointed, but anyway, that's the way it is with penny auctions. You never know if you are going to end up being the very last bidder on an auction.

Now for the E365 ranking today, more happy news. It appears with all my bidding and buying Tcredits, I'm approaching the #1 Mary Horn closer again. It will be fun to see when her versapoints from last year will start to vanquish. I think I make a good chance on winning this E365 Contest in June. We'll see.

1. Mary Horn - 40526 VP

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 38967 VP
3. June Todd - 29271 VP

4. Vojko Postruznik - 27648 VP
5. Christina Ings - 22955 VP
6. Victor De Legarreta - 20026 VP
7. Muzi Maseko -  17041 VP
8. Shanda Secondi - 16321 VP

9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15397 VP

10. Alina Prisecaru - 13399 VP

Interesting to see that Anil Radalage, who once was the #1 at the ranking, fell out of the Top 10 these days. And I think he will not be coming back.
