My EyeEarn.com Experience Part 3.1

There is one thing that as an EyeEarn.com member must do once a month, usually the last week of the month, in order to continue earning the alloted 'shares' from EyeEarn.com earnings.

That is to 'reactivate' one's EyeEarn.com membership.

Not that EyeEarn.com will ask you to rejoin the program by paying a nominal fee but to fill up a Reactivation Form.

I have taken the liberty to reproduce mine that I had to fill up for the month ending June 2008 so that I can continue to participate earning EyeEarn.com shares in July 2008, so that you can have an idea of what it is all about.

I'm not sure if the requirements change over time, but so far, that I have done this (twice) the requirements are similar.

One would usually get the reminder to fill up the form when you login into SFI Affiliate Center and the window of opportunity appears.

Here is the Reactivation Form that I got from EyeEarn:


I think that there is no 'right' or 'wrong' answers here but I can sense that questions 4 to 6 may be 'accountable'.

Accountable means that EyeEarn would know if you are lying or otherwise because they have your orders in their system and I think that they can estimate how much you have used up those X-Cards, or purchased items from Maxmalls.com, or how much money you have spent in the last 30 days.

I'm not sure if EyeEarn will penalize anyone who lie in their answer, but if you ask me, I prefer to tell them the truth.


For Questions 1 to 3, I don't think that EyeEarn will send a private investigator to spy on you to check if you really do what you tell them that you do.

After filling up the form and clicking on the "Proceed" button, you get to see Part 2:


I believe that this is more of a Survey type thing. I prefer to market on-line more because there are more ready buyers on-line than off-line.

Then, there is Part 3:


I believe that this is more of a promotion thing rather than an actual task that you need to do.

I have always clicked "Proceed" without reviewing any song and I always get reactivated.

Once you have do the above, you'll see this:


Which basically reminds you that the next Reactivation period will be etc. etc.

If you click the "Complete Reactivation" button, you'll see this:


If you have any questions for me, write a comment below and I'll answer you as soon as I can.

Cheers!

My EyeEarn.com Experience Part 3.0

Now I am almost to my 2nd month with EyeEarn Network and I am happy to say that I have 11 Affiliates under me.

Most important to note is whether I have earned any income from all this?

Take a look at this:



$9.64 for the month ending May.

And if you look at the table properly, I think I only earned $0.85! Right?!

Because period ending April 2008 is $8.79 and period ending May 2008 is $9.64.
That means that I earned $0.85!

That's not a lot, eh?

I wonder how with more affiliates with me, shouldn't I be getting more income?

Not if they are "helping".

If they also went ahead and really did something more than joining SFI for free, I believe that I would be earning a little more money.

So, now I am going to figure out how I can "help" my downlines earn an income for themselves because from what I see, I think that they are not earning anything.

From what I see, I think I am only earning income from the shared earnings of EyeEarn-generated affiliates programs. The way I see it, I think that SFI may not be doing very well. But I could be wrong eh?

Take a look at what SFI's EyeEarn Program Compensation Plan states:

=======
The EyeEarn compensation plan is based on two components:

1. All active EyeEarn members automatically receive one share of the total MaxMalls Sales Pool. The MaxMalls Sales Pool is 80% of the total revenues SFI receives from all of the MaxMalls.com store sales. Of the remaining 20%, 10% is donated to Save The Children and the other 10% is retained by SFI for overhead expenses. The more sales MaxMalls generates, the larger your share can become.

2. All active EyeEarn members also receive one share of all non-pre-sponsored affiliate signups generated at EyeEarn.com from our worldwide EyeEarn advertising network and co-op. For each signup you receive, you will be recorded as the SFI Sponsor and will be eligible to receive all Sponsor benefits and commissions. This includes unlimited Executive Match Commissions and unlimited Team Match Commissions (see Network Builder Program compensation plan for details).

On each of your EyeEarn-generated affiliates, you can also earn:
- Merchant Services Override Commissions
- TuneFlow Override Commissions
- NiceOffers Merchant Override Commissions
- NiceOffers Fundraisers Override Commissions"
=======

Yes, it is a little disappointing because of such meagre earnings even after 2 months. I think that some of you readers may feel that I should be doing some other program that would have earned me more money.

Should I quit SFI?

Cheers!

My EyeEarn.com Experience Part 2

After having signed up with EyeEarn Network for about a month, I got quite excited after having recruited 7 Affiliates under me. (Woo Hoo!!)

This is a far cry from having no affiliates after joining SFI since 16th September 2006!

One may wonder why is it I am having MORE success with SFI now than previously? Perhaps having made a DECISION to do well with SFI via their EyeEarn Network would be the reason.

Would I have done well if there is no EyeEarn Network? Perhaps I would still have zero affiliates under me as I saw no compulsion to do anything about it until I saw the EyeEarn Ads while surfing for credits on Traffic Swarm.

Looking back, I must be thankful for the SFI team to come out with a good system like EyeEarn.

I joined EyeEarn on 17th April 2008 (ie purchased the EyeEarn Starter Kit) but got approved on 3rd May 2008 after the photo submission.

Why so long? I stay in Malaysia and got the EyeEarn Kit on 30th April 2008 after ordering it on 17th April. And processed the photos the next day and then got them approved on 3rd May 2008.

I think that the EyeEarn people is not the one to blame; rather they are doing such a great job. I think that the problem lies in the movement of the package from USA to Malaysia.

Still, I am happy that I got the materials as I thought that Malaysia has strict Customs rules. My thoughts were wrong.

So how much money have I gotten so far?

$8.79 for the month ending April.

Here is the screen shot of my SFI Commissions report:


Now, some of you readers may be shouting words of distress as to the meagre sum of money that I have gotten. But please be patient and think about this:

I joined in mid April and only got my EyeEarn status approved in 3rd May. Shouldn't it then be that my commission amount be zero dollars?

I'm not complaining as I am happy with EyeEarn/SFI's leniency. I am looking forward to May's Commission which I hope is a lot more substantial!

Cheers!
