From the chapter SFI Basics

Executive Benefits

In this LaunchPad lesson, we're going to go over the first two ranks in SFI and what they mean to your SFI benefits and compensation.  
Everyone who joins SFI starts out as a basic affiliate. As a basic affiliate,  you can earn:   

1. Direct Commissions
2. Pay-Per-Action Bounties    

Of course, you're free to remain a basic affiliate if you wish. However, by scoring just 1,500 VersaPoints (VP), you can advance to the "executive  level" of SFI!  As an Executive Affiliate (EA), you gain access to some of SFI's most powerful business-building tools and perks. You ALSO tap into more earning opportunities, including:     

3. Executive Pool (profit sharing program)
4. TCredits Bonus
