Hi Paul,
Thanks for your important and interesting question. The following are some of the driving qualities which make me proud to be an SFI affiliate.
1. Reliable business with steady source of income- There are many online businesses but SFI is the most reliable one which we can fully believe, trust and achieve 100% success if we work hard and commit to it. It is also a steady source of income for us.
2. Anybody can start free – This is the most suitable and affordable business for any person to start with nothing and start earning immediately. This way we can start our investment with the initial earning into the business to make it grow. Without any prerequisite training or experience one can join in and get trained free while earning at the same time.
3. Outstanding support mechanism – A strong support and training mechanism is put in place for everybody from day one with an assigned sponsor, co-sponsor, clear steps with SFI basics and launchpad lessons. We are also credited with versa point bonuses, daily winning contests and badges which are encouragement and motivation for the newcomers.
4. Forum support – The forum post is one of the best learning places where I have met hundreds of inspiring SFI members from around the world and learned a lot of good things from them. Their lively conversations, prompt support, respect, care and love for every member is my best part of SFI experience and I always cherish and appreciate them. I have also chosen some of them as my best SFI role models and decided to follow them to achieve success. The Ask Sc, SFI news, My TConnect are other good places to exchange our ideas and learn from many experienced members.
5. Bright future scope – A few months ago the daily signed in figure was about 2500 and now it is about 4500 members. This is a testimony to this ever growing SFI business and I feel the success in future is assured for us. We have also read about the success stories of some of the SFI leaders and they are inspiring and motivating. So, why do you have to look back ?
6. Multiple business options and approaches – There are many options like the Triple Clicks, E- Commerce Associate, PPA, the Price Bender Auctions and recruitment of affiliates. According to our own choices, interests and expertise we have many options to pursue in this business.
7. Best opportunities with immense learning materials- SFI has an immense learning materials provided free of cost to all its members. All the training materials are provided to us and we only need to read and implement them to succeed in the business. We have the best learning opportunities here and sky is the only limit.
8. The badges award system- The system of awarding badges for the hard working affiliates on achieving a certain level and target is a remarkable one. The number of badges one has achieved and maintained represent his or her success in SFI. I love this very much and always trying my best to achieve as many of them as possible.
Well, this is why I am satisfied and proud to be an SFI affiliate . I feel proud about this institution spearheaded by Sir Gery Carson and his team.
Hope I have answered your question to some extent.

I came across with quite many challenges in the beginning when I was fairly new into SFI business and I am still dealing with some so I would like to share few instead of just mentioning one as the question suggests.
1. To accept SFI as a real business: At the start it is very difficult to make many new affiliates believe and accept that SFI is a real business like any other business. I had this same fear in the beginning. As many affiliates have the earlier bitter experiences they think that SFI is a sort of scam. And a good communication and prompt help in answering their questions, queries and doubts so as to convince and motivate them is very crucial. If we fail to attend them immediately or be late in our responses they may lose interest and leave for good. This is true in many cases because I have experienced this in my down-line. We need to explain them the real benefits offered in SFI in the long run and residual income for life.
2. Not being able to support the down-line: This is where I have failed myself miserably in the beginning as I didn’t have much experience. I was not ready as a leader yet. I needed more time for myself to read, ask and learn more and in the mean time there were many sign ups, stayed for a while in the movers list and left. Slowly the number in my ‘mover’ list declined. But now I have learned the lessons. It is not so much to do with the content knowledge that we require but to keep constant touch with them and make them dwell into the SFI Basics and the Launchpad lessons is important. When they read and understand more their retention rate will be better.
3. To adjust daily activities and complete SFI actions: It took quite some time to make my habit to adjust the time and complete the daily SFI actions with my daily normal activities. Slowly I could divide and plan the time properly for completing the daily actions, sending mails to the down-line, reading forum posts, SFI news and reading the internet income lessons. One important reminder here is that we have to stick to the allotted time every day for every action and not keeping them for later.
4. Network and PC problems: Depending on our locations and weather conditions sometimes there could be network or device problems which could hamper our daily work. Last year there were frequent wind storms in my place and I suffered a lot to keep up all my daily work. I had to drive about 2 miles daily to a spot where I could get the net connection and complete my daily actions.
5. Not having much idea about online business: Prior to joining the SFI I didn’t have any idea about the online or offline business. However, I tried to find time to read the internet income lessons, IAHBE and other resources on online businesses. Advertising for new sign ups and duplicating actions is my major challenge in SFI business so far. I am trying my advertising on blogs, FREE AD sites, Classifieds and other traffic exchanges but not much of success. I think to succeed in better advertising we need to read, learn many techniques and tools in advertising business on line and invest some money every month.


6. To sponsor and retain working affiliates: For the starting success of this business we just need about 5 working affiliates and make them duplicate what we have done and are doing. Actually we get many signups but to get the right working affiliate is the question. Many times we are discouraged by this harsh reality, having a large group of dormant affiliates with no activities at all. But we need to believe and understand the truth in the active 20% who will actually make our business grow and have the residual income for life. The BEAUTY and TRUTH in SFI is that once our affiliates are established they will always be there and our income goes on growing.
7. Afford and sustain monthly budget: The question of some budget is there only in the beginning of our business. We need to invest in any type of business in the beginning and the profit and the income rolls out. The more we invest the more we earn. And according to my experience there is not much difficulties in investing this small amount. I mean SFI is such a good business that any person with any amount of income can invest into it and earn profit. This expenditure may be necessary in the beginning only and as our downline invests and grows into the business the income simply rolls into your account. Just! They are unavoidable.
I hope I could answer your question to some extent.

We communicate and share the following points through writing regular mails, personal blogs, audio-visual clips, online chats/ conversations and skype.
1. Sharing with them some evidences, testimonies and successful examples: Affiliates have some fear and they are reluctant and skeptical because of their bad experience in other online businesses. They try to participate in many to find a genuine and real one so we have some affiliate returning back later when they realize that SFI is the perfect business they are looking for. We encourage them to ask and share their feelings and doubts regarding SFI. We have to make effort to share the real evidences from SFI like calculating one’s approximate earning with earning calculator, the compensation plan and benefit chart . We let them read some of the best testimonies and real stories shared by the senior, successful SFI leaders. For example, I am very much motivated and inspired by awesome leaders like Sir Gery Carson(president and founder of SFI), Mr. Eric Miller, Mr. Boris Jovanovic, Mr. Bing Obaldo and Jacqueline Granger.
2. Showing and giving them our own example: I feel that sharing our own examples with our affiliates benefits them in understanding more about the business. Real and honest sharing either good or bad from the sponsors may be welcomed. The sponsor has to be a role model for his or her down line. He or she cannot expect more from his or her affiliates than his expectations from himself. In fact they always look at their sponsor’s progress before they really put their heart and soul in it.
3. Telling them not to quit before they really understand SFI and make proper decision: Many affiliates get confused and overwhelmed as they read the basics, launchpad lessons and complete the daily actions. We need to take utmost care to attend quickly to our new affiliates, encourage them to read little by little with their own pace. We need to tell them not to quit before they really understand SFI and make proper decision. As one of my affiliate had opted out and wrote to me later regretting about his opting out.
4. Explaining them the advantages and multi benefits of SFI over other online businesses: To make them try SFI we need to make them understand the advantages and real benefits that SFI provides to all its affiliates. Explain them that probably SFI is the only online business where anybody can join with no investment at all and without any prerequisite qualification and experience. Any body can learn and earn at the same time at free of cost with all the necessary training provided for free.
5. Letting the affiliate participate in the SFI forum: A very good source of motivation, inspiration and support that I got from is the SFI forum. I consider SFI news and the forum is my best learning center. We need to encourage and make the new affiliates participate and read the forum posts. As they gain the experience they raise their doubts and problems on the forum where it will be addressed and answered by many experienced SFI leaders. They also read very good testimonies submitted by many experienced affiliates at the forum.
