Wow!!! SFI really works!

I can't believe it's been six months since I started this new venture at SFI. I guess time flies when you're having fun. I mean it! I am having so much fun that I find it really hard to keep away from my computer for more than a few hours most days. 

Every morning I log into my SFI 'office' to take care of business and see how my team is doing. Aside from doing my daily, weekly or monthly actions, I rate at least 30 questions in the ASK SC section and read the latest news and Forum posts, because those are the places where I get information 'straight from the horse's mouth', from SFI veterans who are successful and generous enough to share their knowledge with us newcomers.

I must confess that at the beginning I thought it would take forever to get an active Affiliate on my team. I thought that the odds of finding like-minded people who were ready to put 100% of their efforts into building a team and a business were pretty slim due to my lack of experience. But I kept at it, month after month, investing a little money here and there to acquire new affiliates for my team, and once I understood the importance of reaching Team Leader status, I went for it in order to get more affiliates assigned to me, in the hopes of finding that elusive diamond in the rough.

The good news is: I found one! For the first time in six months, I have earned a commission from purchases made by a member of my team and, most valuable of all, matching VersaPoints to add to my own VersaPoints. These points translate into real money that SFI pays out each month. We're talking about a whopping 40% of the Commission Volume from every sale at its online store TripleClicks, money that is distributed among all affiliates who have reached Executive Affiliate rank or higher. 

I'm sure you would like to know how much I earned, but that's for me to know and for you to find out. What I can tell you for sure is that I won't be buying my dream home any time soon, but this new milestone has given me the proof I needed to continue at SFI and work even harder, because I can honestly say that this method does work. It takes time, but if you keep at it you will reap what you sow.

I leave you with one sober piece of advice: If you want to earn a second income or wish you could quit your job and start your own full-time business, SFI is the best place to learn how. The training material is free and you can use it to start up any kind of business, online or off, either at SFI or elsewhere. There aren't many places that offer all that for free, with no strings attached, and no upgrades or other underhanded ways to get you to spend your money.

SFI vs Pioneer Trail: have fun making money vs just having fun

When life is good, what more do you need to make your life even better? How about more money? Yes, that would do it!

How I found SFI

I was playing my favorite online game (Pioneer Trail by Zynga), looking for extra gifts on a parallel gift site, when I was rudely interrupted by one of those annoying pop ups. I don't even remember what it was that caught my eye, but instead of continuing on to the gift site, I clicked on the pop up instead. 

It was an article about an online business opportunity at SFI (Strong Future International). The person who wrote the article (who is now my sponsor) was very persuasive and despite having been burned a few times with these online business offers, the way he wrote about SFI piqued my curiosity. I decided to do a Google search and see what dirt I could dig up on this company before I went any further.

There was quite a bit of information out there about SFI. Lots of people with different opinions and experiences, some singing its praises, others not so much, but overall I saw that the good outweighed the bad. I checked the Nebraska BBB and found that the company has a good rating, that it has been around for 15 years, that it's parent company, Carson Services Inc. has been around for even longer, and that it's founder, Gery Carson, is a pretty successful guy with a good reputation. 

After thinking long and hard I realized I really had nothing to lose because it offered four very enticing options for me to join:

• FREE Registration
• FREE Training
• NO pressure to buy anything
• OPT OUT any time

So I joined! and it is the best decision I have ever made! I am now playing another kind of game: a real-life, money-making game. It's as much fun and as absorbing as Pioneer Trail. I dedicate about the same amount of time I used to dedicate to the game, but with SFI  the time and effort I am investing pays real money.

SFI has inspired me to try new things and has shaken me out of my lethargy. In fact, I even started writing this blog and then became more adventurous and created my own website moirasmoneymakingmoves.weebly.com. Those are things I had always wanted to do but never thought I had anything really interesting to write about that might be worth sharing with the rest of the world… until now.

I still visit Pioneer Trail because I miss my homestead and my virtual neighbors, but most of the time I am totally engrossed in the SFI training program. I already have a team of affiliates and I log in every day to do my daily chores, like I would in any normal business, and concentrate on learning how to find more affiliates, teach them how to find their own affiliates and how to promote and sell products from SFI's online store, TripleClicks.

For all of you out there who, like me, dedicate so much time every day to these games which, by the way, require a lot of perseverance, patience and discipline, I would highly recommend you give SFI a try. The attributes you bring to those online games are exactly the same attributes you need to be successful at SFI. And let me tell you that in the long run, the satisfaction and monetary rewards you get at SFI far outweigh the momentary satisfaction of completing a virtual mission.

See you next week!

What is SFI? How can I earn real money there?

SFI is a marketing/sponsoring program like many others. You join for free and you get trained for free. However, at SFI you don't have to drag your family and friends kicking and screaming to join unless they really want to be a part of your business. There are other ways to build a team of like-minded individuals.

SFI gives you a minimum of two affiliates to start building your team as a reward for reaching your first power rank (Executive Affiliate) and continues to give you 2 more each month you maintain that rank. The higher the rank the more affiliates it will give you (I received 52 when I made Bronze Team Leader).

Once you have created your team of affiliates, you teach them to do exactly what you do, and they teach their affiliates to do the same thing, and so on. That's called duplication. With duplication you can be well on your way to earning the best kind of income: long-term residual income.

SFI also has an online store called TripleClicks which has almost 2 million members and more than 5 thousand E-Commerce Associate stores from 161 different countries. TripleClicks offers over 100,000 thousand products for you and your team to promote and sell, as well as fun games and popular auctions that attract a large number of visitors. 

The bottom line is there are many ways you can earn money/commissions at SFI: 

- invite people to become TripleClicks members;

- invite people to become E-Commerce Associates (ECA) at TripleClicks; 

- promote and sell TripleClicks and ECA products; 

- find your own affiliates through paid or free advertising on the web; 

- buy into an affiliate Co-op at SFI or TripleClicks;

- get affiliates assigned to you by SFI;

- win affiliates in TripleClicks auctions.

Finally, SFI also has an optional Pay-Per-Action program which allows you to act as an advertiser for SFI and earn supplemental income by getting people to take actions such as filling out forms. You can earn up to 12 dollars for each qualified sign-up.

Basically SFI has everything you need to start a successful online business, even if you are new to online advertising/marketing. SFI provides the support and training you need and all it asks in return is that you log in every day and do your daily chores just like you would in a regular business. That is how you 'earn while you learn'.

My tenth week at SFI: the carrot without the stick

When I started out at SFI, I just followed directions without really understanding what I was doing and why I was doing it.

Once you've registered you are asked to fill out a questionnaire about why you want to earn an extra income; what you would do if you had money to spare; what your short, medium and long-term goals are. Since I wasn’t prepared for these types of questions, I simply put down anything that came to mind to get past the questionnaire and onto the site. I was curious and wanted to see what I was getting myself into.

After watching the SFI Basics video presentation they directed me to my home page to start working on my personal To-Do list. This is a list that awards points for each action you take. In less than an hour I had already made over 500 points, which got me onto the ‘Fast Track’ and earned me 200 extra points. By then I was motivated enough to continue because I was already half way to the next rank.

It's been 10 weeks and I've come to realize that there’s a method to their ‘madness’: I call it 'the carrot without the stick'. Those daily, weekly and monthly actions are basic business practices. SFI has cleverly devised ways for people with no business experience to acquire good work habits and discipline by rewarding them for doing everyday tasks. That way, they stay focused on building their businesses and are able to 'Earn while they Learn'.

Now that I have my own Affiliates, I've found that many don’t like to answer the questionnaire because they feel it’s an invasion of privacy. But it’s not. It’s a way for them to start focusing on “why” they decided to register in the first place.

Nevertheless, most of them just want to know “where is the money?” I answer them that this is not a get-rich-quick deal and that if they want to earn real money without putting a little elbow grease into it, this is definitely not for them.

Starting any business is hard work. At least this one doesn’t cost anything to set up, and there is no limit to the amount of money you can earn if you invest enough time and effort into reading all the training material they provide for free. But most important of all, unlike many other sites, they don’t pressure you to buy anything, they don’t bombard you with unsolicited mails, and they have really knowledgeable people willing to help you get ahead.

That’s all for now folks! See you next week.
