It takes quite some time to make profit with SFI. But it is certainly a reliable company. With the introduction of niceoffers we may expect the program to gain momemtum.

Pluses: A well-established MLM with some Good products.
Cons: Your residual depends on your downline and it's real common for people to sign up and then just drop out, so you lose your downline. I've heard of a few (their top affiliates for example) who are doing veru well in SFI but most people who share their experiences with me don't really ever make much (or any) money.

Of course the dream everybody has when they join is to become a:
double diamond ebony swan guru cheesebag.
MLM is perhaps in the business of selling the dream of becoming an extremely wealthy double diamond ebony swan guru cheesebag who does no work and has a massive army of underlings working to make him or her money to support a double diamond ebony swan guru cheesebag lifestyle which includes:
- A mansion
- A Yacht
- A Sportscar
- A Trophy Lover
- A Year-round Tan
etc...
SFI has been around for a while and its maybe kind of dated. It was one of the early companies to push into the internet and I think the model worked okay for awhile.

I made some money with it a couple of years ago. They changed the compensation plan and my income dropped. They are making new changes for 2007 that seem to be a big improvement, at least from where I am. It seems to be a well established company that at least tries to stay up with the times.

yeah, that's all - it tries to keep itself up. Nothing more.

I just recently signed up but am afraid to invest anything with them yet. To become an EA I have to get 10SVP (I think). So far, since the 5th of February when I joined, I've only had 2 people sign up as my affiliates. With the prices that they have, I'm not sure that those 2 will continue on past this month. Neither of them has any affiliates at all yet. Asking my friends to pay such high prices for their stuff seems wrong too, so I'm thinking I'll probably not stick with SFI. I'm trying some other things out that don't require much of an investment on my part. I've got more time to spend than money!

It seems like the ones that make a lot of money with SFI are also with affliliate programs. My sponsor encourages his downline to build their own website with affiliate programs. He claims he is making such good money on this his wife was able to quit her job. The one draw back to this is learning HTML...

It seems the earlier post that inspired the "cheesebag"
post has been removed.
It made me laugh, so I worked the terminology into my
post. Its not my language, but it is intended a little humorously.
SFI has been around for a long time and may be a good
earning opportunity for those who like the product and
are diligent about marketing it... just like anything else

What about SFI Affiliate Marketing?
I saw an earlier thread on SFI ("Anybody is (sic) making money in SFI") but the last post was JULY 17, 2007 - and only a few other posts were made in 2007.
With all the sign ups they claim to generate, and folks who have been SFI members since this previous SFI thread I am wondering if anyone has any useful information about SFI.
I just joined recently and am seriously considering becoming an EA (Executive Affiliate).

My experience is bitter with SFI. I joined six months before. No proper response from them and they fill my email with spams. Do watch carefully to join them.

Are you saying it was PROFITABLE?
What kind of money are you seeing from SFI?
I am curious since you said nothing else about it, and there are so many unsupportive comments here on this site about SFI.
I would think you would want to defend SFI, if only for the income potential 'setting the record straight' would bring - For all of SFI (which could only positively affect you) if not just for yourself.
Don't you want to elaborate?

I guess you never decided to become and EXECUTIVE AFFILIATE (EA) then?
I joined, I am not an EA but I get NO SPAM from SFI.
(except for the daily notifications of how many people joined my powerline - trying to get me to buy into EA status - but that's EZ to block!)
ACTUALLY, I haven't heard from ANYONE, unsolicited,
in SFI except for my welcome letters (and those 'powerline' upgrade ads).
BUT, if NO ONE has really supportive comments, I guess that says if all!
ANYONE??

I am an EA and have been for 5 years now. I do not make a lot of money with it. It takes a constant effort of enrolling new affiliates every month. The attrition rate is high, but that is because it is free to join.
I do make several hundred a month with them, but after 5 years and thousnads of affiliates I personally enrolled I was not happy with the results overall.

I signed up once but the site was so confusing I never did much. Never really did figure out what they were getting at ...
I'd rather just build websites.

Just like any other business, you can't expect to get results by sitting down on the couch hoping you get a huge check tomorrow. Results are proportional to efforts. And with marketing specially online, numbers are your ally, the more you promote, tje more chance for a signup. Just work hard, learn the ropes, and you'll see..

Quoting: ekkmendoza Results are proportional to efforts.
Judging from the experience of those who have participated in SFI, that proportion is not very large.
Who wants to spend lots of time and money, and valuable life energy, for a less than satisfactory payout?

I found it too complicated to even understand. Better to just learn and build good sites with things and information that people want, monetize them, and direct traffic. Requires work but is simple and viable.

Over the years I have been with SFI I have always found it an easy program to recruit movitvate and retain people in along with selling products.

Hi Mark,
I am a SFI member too. Perhaps you could 'motivate' your people to visit this forum and comment on their success. There sure doesn't seem to be many who do!
I can't get motivated to spend time and money advertising SFI based on the postings in this thread...

I have to agree on it being too complicated. Am i right in saying that you have to purchase things to start off. I keep getting emails like that.

You can stay a free member, but you won't really make much money. The way to make money is to become an EA and stay one. I started 3 months ago. I now have 18 affiliates under me and 4 have upgraded to EA status. I'm making about 80 bucks a month and spending 30. So the net is 50. I spend a few hours a week advertising.
My sponsor has been working this for about 2 years and has quit her job. I think if you just work the system and keep working it, you can be successful

We just started SFI in June to supliment our other businesses and like the results so far. We have around 70 folks in our downline including 4 EAs, all of whom were found by simply posting bulletins on myspace. Our first check was $65 and we didnt sell one thing or spend a penny on advertising. Nothing happens til someone sells something and I see great potential when we start teaching folks to retail. You can be a recruiting machine but if you dont sell the product, and teach folks how to do it, you wont make any money.
The only drawback I can see is the support system. My sponser is one of the top folks and Ive never heard a word from him. But the onsite training is all there and I am working out a mentoring program to teach our team, one on one, how to recruit, retail, etc. and will have weekly conference calls to share our ideas, train, and keep everyone excited. I do not believe in "auto business" and if you just leave folks on an island, especially when they havent invested any of their hard earned money, they will quit (and save face by saying they got scammed...lol)
The future also looks bright as they are working on a mall site where you can send folks to get all of their products and services instead of having to send them to 52 different sites. That should help a bunch.
As mentioned before, you cant expect instant results and need to commit yourself to the long term and work hard. Like I always tell my Herbalife team, "You dont try this business, this business tries you!" and I see no reason why that statement wouldnt apply to SFI as well. So many folks are looking for a business where they can make $5000 a day without any effort, investment, or trials. That is why only 2% of them ever make it in any business. Success has a mighty pricetag and very few are willing to pay it!
SFI is a great company and I am looking forward to a great future with them 
Good providence,

I just started recently with SFI but I have a somewhat of a
track record in network marketing and quite a few contacts.
I am already starting to get some pretty fast growth in my
SFI group and look forward to making some great money
for my team over the next 2 years.
I think the key is to have a great TEAM and grow with it.
It's not how much you make the first few weeks or couple
of months that counts but how much of a business you put
there ... how many affiliates you invite in and TRAIN and get
them to DUPLICATE what you are doing.
That then converts to $$$ after a while.
Looking forward to building a huge group and creating
many 6 figure income earners within 2 years.
The way I look at it you can either sit on the sidelines
forever and wonder what will work the best or jump into
one or two solid businesses that are not about to
disappear and then WORK THEM. Then they will work
for you.
NOTHING WORKS for the pessimest or the person who
never takes action.
Ron
