21 March 2014 - Spring is Here

Spring is here and it is now exactly 3 months to go to the end of my E365 contest. Yesterday I bought TCredits, Glucosamine and Super Potency Megavites and earned a heap of versapoints. Now we are just a few days ahead of expiring the 5069 vp I earned from the purchase of a Lifetime Custom Domain 180 days ago. But I'm well ahead of the competition still.

Let' see the E 365 Ranking Today:

1. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 53,111 VP  (+26643)

2. Mary Horn - 41,933 VP  (+7541)
3. June Todd - 33,400 VP  (+12821)

4. Christina Ings - 23,555 VP (+6200)

5. Vojko Postruznik - 19,031 VP (+4608)

11 March 2014 - VersaPoints Olé

Lots going on with my VersaPoints these last couple of days. I had a bidding fever so I bought 2x 100 Tcredits day after day. I bid more than necessary this month to become Bronze Team Leader already. But I like it. I won a 2 Pack S-Builder co-op and thought, wow, now is the time to bid, I tried a 300 Tcredits package and then a IAHBE membership but to no avail, no success. Next time better luck again. I also won 50 vp in the Daily Grand drawing today.

So, versapoints went up, but 1200 vp got expired too. I had climbed up to 48056 vp today, now is 46856 left. Also nice to see that Mary has had vp expiring too, about 1300 vp.

Here is today's ranking Top 5:

1. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 46,856 VP  (+20199)

2. Mary Horn - 42,022 VP  (+7541)
3. June Todd - 33,398 VP (+12719)

4. Christina Ings - 23,285 VP (+5742)

5. Vojko Postruznik - 19,411 VP (+4608)

June Todd appears to have increased 1554 vp, while I guess Vojko has given up.

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

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?

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?

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?

1 January 2014 - Happy Newyear!

Feels like a weird day to do business, LOL. It's the aftermath of a big party time for most of us. Not that much for me, as I'm not really a party person, but I know that most of you had too much to drink and probably a headache now. Anyway, we are going forward with the SFI business, just renewed my EA status again and already have one referral getting ready with his EA status too. Great!

We shall just quickly get the results for the E365 Ranking today.

 1. Mary Horn - 41108 VP 

2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 36499 VP
3. June Todd - 29823 VP 

4. Vojko Postruznik -  29252 VP
5. Christina Ings - 22120 VP
6. Victor De Legarreta - 21599 VP
7. Shanda Secondi -  18200 VP
8. Muzi Maseko - 17479 VP
9. Anil Radalage - 15528 VP 

10. Alida Koegelenberg -  15459 VP

June headed up to the 3rd place with Vojko's points going down more and more. June had an increase of 4270 versapoints which is quite remarkable for the 1st of the new year. She must have bought a big deal on Tripleclicks. Anil jumped back to the 9th place, but it's only because his points decreased less than Alida's did. 

We'll be back tomorrow with more results. 

30 Dec 2013 - New Year 2014 is coming

I just sent this inspiring letter with my Newyear wishes to my affiliates.
**********

I don't know what time it is exactly in your part of the world, but where I live it has been about 1 hour into the last day of the year.

 

So, time to convey to you my best wishes for the new year 2014 and may it be your most successful year of business with SFI ever. Since it also the end of the month, it is time for a deadline, if you haven't achieved the rank of Executive Affiliate yet, you may have a day or just a few hours left to gain it. Never mind, even if you didn't participate in the company pool earnings or will not get into the winners pool in my monthly contest, you can always start tomorrow, with the start of a new year and a new hope for a better future. SFI can make the difference for you, it did for me, so why would it not do so for you?

 

Once more, best wishes and see you after the fireworks!

 

Your dedicated Team Leader,

Dirk Vanderdonckt

25 December 2013 - Merry Christmas

After watching several movies about Santa with the family, it's time to do the business again. I have clicked my red tabs today and see that my vp still increases. I remember those very first days in my SFI membership I wasn't actually clicking them everyday. Now for Anil, look how he dropped from position 8 to 9 in the ranking yesterday, with over 1200 vp less than the day before. It looks like he went on a standing order right from the beginning of his membership, which is definitely great, but I think he got distracted or disappointed, and isn't that active anymore, proof that he is dropping from position #1 which he had at the start of the Contest and now slowly disappearing from the Top 10 even. We have to somehow keep the inspiration and especially be patient and never give up!

Here the ranking for today:

1. Mary Horn - 41365 VP
2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 36083 VP
3. Vojko Postruznik -  30039 VP
4. June Todd - 25446 VP

9. Anil Radalage - 16880 VP
10. Alida Koegelenberg -  15962 VP

20 December 2013 - On vacation

After a long drive, we have arrived at the in-laws and enjoying our vacation. Still, internet business never sleeps and even on the trip, I keep logging in and clicking my red tabs. Today I got a message that I made a Tripleclicks sale. Great, some more versapoints on my account and.. a commission.

Here the E365 ranking for today:

1. Mary Horn - 40705 VP
2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 35975 VP
3. Vojko Postruznik -  29863 VP
4. June Todd - 25356 VP

8. Anil Radalage - 18162 VP
9. Muzi Maseko - 16788 VP
10. Alida Koegelenberg -  15929 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

13 Nov 2013 - The Story Continues

Besides doing the daily, weekly and monthly vp earning actions, there is not much news to tell. Yes, I bought a few things from the Tripleclicks store including some Peak Nutrition vitamins and a new laptop, which collected a good amount of versapoints for me.

Let's then look at the Top 10 Classification in my Class 22 June today.
1. Mary Horn - 36363  
2. Dirk Vanderdonckt - 27765
3. Vojko Postruznik - 24990
4. June Todd - 21258
5. Victor De Legarreta - 19389
6. Christina Ings - 17793
7. Anil Radalage - 17724
8. Shanda Secondi -  17241
9. Muzi Maseko - 14627
10. Alida Koegelenberg -  13966

To our success,
Dirk Vanderdonckt

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!
