16 May 2014 - Eager Zebra Game Lost

Today the results of the Eager Zebra game were revealed and again no win. It seems as if I am not allowed to win. Anyway, next time maybe. As for the rankings, except for June and Christina who seem to be still a little active, everyone is dropping VersaPoints quickly. Let's have a quick look at the new ranking today.

1. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 47,863 VP (+33902)

2. June Todd - 26,842 VP (+15925)

3. Christina Ings - 23,294 VP (+11911)

4. Mary Horn - 16,009 VP (+7541)

5. Alida Koegelenberg - 13,230 VP

6 March 2014 - 107 days left

Yesterday I calculated the remaining days of the E 365 contest and found it is exactly 108 days till June 22nd. Today it is 107 days left.
Today not much time to do anything, I got pretty busy. Tomorrow I'll try to do some auctions and if I don't win a Tcredit package, then buy another 100 Tcredits. A good deal for converting MRP into versapoints are 2 of the best Magazine subscriptions. I'll get a subscription tonight or tomorrow.

Today's Ranking in E365:

1. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 45,536 VP  (+16420)

2. Mary Horn - 43,650 VP  (+7541)
3. June Todd - 31,881 VP (+11165)

4. Christina Ings - 23,889 VP (+5742)

5. Vojko Postruznik - 21,842 VP (+3996)

We see some small increases in our Top 5. Mary Horn has increased with over 1500 vp, Christina about 330 and Vojko about 670 vp. Of course, that is if I haven't wrongly misinterpreted expiring versapoints.

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?

5 January 2014 - Sunday Surfing Day

Like every Sunday I have a TrafficEra surfing evening party with my team. Today we will try to get a lot of clocks and win prizes of credits for advertising.
Not much time to bid on auctions today, I clicked my red tabs and that's it for today.

Here's the E365 Ranking for today. Some people's versapoints are going down, luckily mine are going up. In a short while I may end up number #1 again.

1. Mary Horn - 40916 VP

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 36532 VP
3. June Todd - 29843 VP

4. Vojko Postruznik -  29232 VP
5. Christina Ings - 22903 VP
6. Victor De Legarreta - 21607 VP
7. Shanda Secondi -  18209 VP
8. Muzi Maseko - 17274 VP
9. Alida Koegelenberg -  15402 VP

10. Anil Radalage - 14986 VP

16 November 2013 - Bidding on Pricebenders auctions

Today I almost would have won 2 times on Pricebenders auctions, but clicked too late when the Going Once - Going Twice came on ( I got distracted doing other things on my PC) yet collected some MRP so nothing really got lost. This is the amazing thing about Pricebenders auctions. Even if you loose the auction, you still have your MRP points to buy something. Really cool!

It's fun to see your friends and contest companions bid on those Pricebenders auctions sometimes. Today I found E365 colleague Shipa Das bidding on one of the auctions I was bidding on too. 

Todays contest ranking:
1. Mary Horn - 36734  
2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 27952
3. Vojko Postruznik - 25243
4. June Todd - 21339
5. Victor De Legarreta - 19486
6. Christina Ings - 18161
7. Anil Radalage - 17759
8. Shanda Secondi -  17347
9. Muzi Maseko - 15283
10. Alida Koegelenberg -  14010

5 November 2013 - News at SFI

Read the news today that all digital downloadable products will be removed from the Tripleclicks store. That means my Pricebenders e-book will probably be removed as well? We'll see.

Let's have a look at the Top 10 for today.
1. Mary Horn - 33664  
2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 24734
3. Vojko Postruznik - 23139
4. June Todd - 19631
5. Anil Radalage - 17620
6. Victor De Legarreta - 17271
7. Christina Ings - 15437
8. Shanda Secondi -  15256
9. Alida Koegelenberg -  13884
10. Alina Prisecaru - 13557

Mary is taking off a rocket speed. More than 3700 vp increase over last classification record. Amazing. How is she doing it? The most important key to success in SFI is building a strong team of affiliates and when they become EA2 you earn commissions and points from them. Yet you must be lucky to get those 'go getters' as your affiliates. I guess Mary was very lucky with her Pricebenders win of 200 CSAs... 

26 October 2013 - Purchased 100 Tcredits

After doing my little calculation of how many action points I need to achieve my monthly Bronze Teamleadership, I noticed I would fall short of a 30-40 versapoints. This has been a steady monthly recurring fact and is probably very cleverly set up so we can't reach the status unless doing an additional purchase which can earn us more versapoints.

The top level of sales points one can get from purchases at Tripleclicks, including one's Standing Order, is 2000. That means, one needs to accumulate 1000 versapoints from actions to reach to Bronze Team Leader. And just because it comes so close within reach, we are tempted to buy some extra TCredits to bid in auctions, because each bid gives one versapoint, with a maximum of 500 per month, this to make sure we also do the other actions, like clicking the red tabs at our home page every day, rating Ask SC answers, writing mails to inspire our downline PSA and CSA members etc.

Geniously set up, I thus purchased an additional 100 Tcredits on top of my 200 Tcredits Standing Order. Good point is that all of these accumulated versapoints add up to our ranking in the Entrepreneur365 Contest. Well, not those accumulated now, because they expire after 180 days (except those gained from one time actions) so mostly those starting from end of December will count for our June 22nd Entrepreneur365 Finals.

That brings us to the temporary ranking of today.
1. Mary Horn - 29503  
2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 22539
3. Vojko Postruznik - 22047
4. June Todd - 17627
5. Anil Radalage - 17390
6. Victor De Legarreta - 16988
7. Christina Ings - 14630
8. Shanda Secondi -  14234
9. Alina Prisecaru - 12690
10. Muzi Maseko -  11983

Way to go, fellas!
