Review of SFI Marketing Group (SFIMG)

Improve Search Engine Rankings the Easy Way

Are You Ignoring Your Blog Readers?

SFI (Strong Future International) Marketing Group is a network marketing company founded by President and CEO Gery Carson. SFI was started in 1998, with only one product servicing the United States. Over 10 years later, SFI is now a completely global business opportunity providing millions of products and services to over 190 countries.

If you’re looking to join a company with a proven and successful track record, there’s none like SFI. Both and men and women all around the world are building profitable internet businesses thanks to SFI’s unique and lucrative business model. SFI’s biggest strength is that they’re constantly evolving and growing to meet the needs of affiliates. This shows they care about their affiliates and who they represent.

With the introduction of the VersaPoints system, affiliates can join for free and earn a substantial income without investing any of their own money. This is one of the biggest differences that set SFI apart from other business opportunities. Because of this, SFI is the fastest growing company of its kind, with over 8,000 new affiliates joining every week.

SFI is also home to the famous International Association for Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE). The IAHBE is a one-of-a-kind resource for aspiring internet business entrepreneurs and is a perfect compliment to the SFI program.

SFI also has two sub-divisions: EyeEarn.com and TripleClicks.com.
EyeEarn.com is the world’s largest advertising network and co-op powered by affiliates. You get paid for going about your normal day and getting seen. You can also gain sponsorship over new affiliates through the EyeEarn network.

TripleClicks.com is home to SFI’s product database, housing thousands of products found nowhere else on the web. Earn commissions by referring people to over one million new and used products from all around the world. You can also sell your own unwanted items on the TripleClicks.com site.

TripleClicks, in addition to thousands of products of its own is also a portal to more than 170 major, name-brand online stores representing millions of additional products and services. These stores are known as MaxMalls Merchants.

How you earn money with SFI

SFI’s compensation plan has nine components:

• Customer commissions through sales generated at TripleClicks.com.
• Affiliate Overrides – When your personally sponsored affiliates purchase something from TripleClicks.com.
• Executive Overrides – When your personally sponsored affiliates generates a customer sale at TripleClicks.com.
• Co-Sponsorship Overrides – Earn on activities of the affiliates you’ve been assigned as the Co-Sponsor of.
• MaxMalls Pool – 100% of the revenues SFI receives from MaxMalls each month goes into a special pool for top affiliates. Every month that you achieve a minimum of 1500 points, you’ll automatically receive one equal share of the pool.
• Network Overrides – Create an income stream based on your Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSAs). Network Overrides now take your income to a whole new level by allowing you to earn handsome commissions on the purchases and sales generated by affiliates sponsored by your PSAs and other affiliates in your organization.
• LaunchPad Rewards – SFI sends you a special daily e-mail your first 30 days that contains a link to an exclusive, copyrighted LaunchPad™ getting-started training Website. Each of the 30 LaunchPad™ editions includes a simple, one-question quiz. Once you’ve completed all 30 quizzes, you’ll receive special LaunchPad™ Rewards.
• VersaPoints Rewards – Each month, SFI awards cash and other valuable rewards to the top 200 VersaPoints earners of the month. Just be in the top 200 at the end of the month and you’re in!
• Peak Performer Bonuses – Make the top 20 in any of SFI’s three Peak Performer Quarterly Contests (Top Sponsors, Top Sellers, or Top Builders) and you’ll receive one of many cash bonuses or prizes.

The drawbacks of SFI

No matter what program or opportunity you look at, there’s always going to be drawbacks. That’s just a fact, and SFI is no different. This doesn’t mean that SFI can’t help you earn a part or full-time living on the internet, but there are some things you should be aware of.

• Becoming an EA is much easier and quicker by earning the required amount of VersaPoints (1,500) each month via TripleClicks credits. Going this route would cost you 19.90 per month to stay an active EA. It’s entirely up to you if you want to spend any money initially. You can earn these points without investing any money, so I suggest doing the necessary tasks first before spending your hard-earned money. In the future, you may want to do so as things will be slow going at first. Once you’re bringing in a steady stream of affiliates and building your team, earning the necessary 1,500 VP will be much easier.
• Many people are looking for get-rich-quick schemes. Since joining SFI is free, it attracts the types of people that don’t want to invest any time or money and expect to make it big over night. Don’t be surprised if you get bombarded with emails from your affiliates asking you why they’re not making any money. Then after explaining to them what they need to do, you’ll almost never see a single one take action. This shouldn’t discourage you, however. There are plenty of serious people ready to do what it takes – Focus on and help these people as much as possible.
• The training material available is very good, and I recommend you go through it. However, I suggest you do some research of your own in order to become an effective marketer and take your internet business to the next level. There are many resources and tools out there that SFI doesn’t cover or provide.
• It’s a fact that every affiliate who earns a full-time income from SFI has their own website. As a beginner, this isn’t necessary. But, if you’re serious about making SFI a profitable internet business, you’re going to want to invest in a website of your own at some point. Only you will know when the time is right, and you’re under no obligation to do so to earn a substantial amount of money from SFI.
• Not everyone makes money from SFI. Some don’t make a single penny. SFI isn’t full-proof by any means, but there’s not a single business opportunity out there that is.

Is SFI right for you?

This is isn’t your ordinary review. If it was, I’d tell you that SFI is the greatest thing on Earth and that you need to sign up right away. However, I’d be flat out lying. Truth be told, SFI might not be right for you at all. Or rather, you may not be right for SFI. You see, SFI is designed in a manner that the system weeds out the slackers and freebie seekers. Rewards are given to those that take action.

If you’re passionate about building a long-lasting internet business from home, and you’re willing to put in the grunt work to see it through, then SFI is looking for somebody like you. And, SFI could just be the opportunity you’ve been looking for as well.

However, if you’re just another one of those freebie seeking, affiliate hopping, get-rich-quick, make money online wannabes, then I’m sorry to say that you’re in the wrong place.

Have you made a decision?

At this point you’re left with two decisions: dismiss the SFI opportunity and decide it’s not what you’re looking for, or realize that SFI has everything you need to start building a profitable business on the internet.

If you’re ready to give SFI a try, you can Sign Up Here.

SFI is what I devote a lot of my time in because it has proven to be reliable time and time again. That’s not to say I haven’t endured some hardships along the way, but patience and persistence pays off in the end.

I’m in the process of building a team of successful affiliates, and I’d love for you to join me. I offer my own personal free training in addition to SFI’s comprehensive training to assist affiliates in getting a quick head-start.

Do you want to start learning how to make money on the internet? Are you willing to take consistent action toward changing your life and creating a better financial future for yourself?

If you answered yes to either of those questions, then I would highly recommend SFI.

Get started with SFI today!

SFI continues to make changes, changes for the better in my opinion. They already updated the site, added a new store which is the TripleClicks market place, and now, making even more changes to benefit their affiliates.

The newly added changes being made to SFI will enhance the experience for everyone and hopefully make affiliates more money. I certainly can’t complain about that last point.

Here’s what the SFI President has to say about the changes and what you can expect as an affiliate:

Today, we are purging all inactive affiliates from the SFI database. For the purposes of this purge, affiliates are considered inactive if they have not logged in to the SFI Affiliate Center OR generated any SVP in the last 18 months.

This purging of inactive affiliates has several benefits, the biggest of which is the removal of “dead wood” clogging up SFI Genealogies. This will allow you to more easily identify and work with your active affiliates. Removing the “inactives” from our database will also significantly speed up queries and many system processes for you and your team when accessing the SFI Affiliate Center.

With today’s purge, we are ALSO preparing to take this process a step further.

That is, in the next 60-90 days, we will be phasing out SFI’s longstanding policy of allowing affiliates to “test drive” SFI indefinitely with no obligation.

Over the last 11 years, SFI has invested millions of dollars into making us the premier affiliate program on the Internet. And there are still many more amazing upgrades coming to SFI in the next several months, plus a continuous rolling out of a wide spectrum of new and powerful system enhancements and features for years to come. ?

CLEARLY–and as thousands of SFI Affiliates will attest–our commitment to affiliate success runs deep. And that’s precisely why we must focus our time, passion, and capital on those who are serious about building a successful SFI business!

Rest assured, SFI will ALWAYS openly accommodate men and women worldwide and from every background. Indeed, we expect to continue to welcome hundreds of thousands of new affiliates every year. But SFI affiliateship will now require some level of activity, which will be gauged through our new Power Rank program. In short, if you’re scoring points, you’ll be considered an active affiliate. If not, your SFI affiliate status will lapse and you’ll no longer be in our system.

Of course, this is a just a general overview of these coming changes. The specifics are still being worked out.  Look for full details announced in the coming weeks.

PLUS…You’ll be pleased to know that these “quality over quantity” paradigm changes will do MUCH more than make SFI fast and lean–we’re also going to create more incentives for your incoming affiliates to get active immediately and provide a crystal clear path for becoming an Executive Affiliate. Indeed, look for a brand new component to make the Executive Affiliate rank available for ANY affiliate serious about building a successful SFI business.

Yes, SFI just keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to show you the new TripleClicks commercial seller program that will soon add HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of products from thousands of companies from around the world to the shelves of your TripleClicks store!  And that’s just ONE of many other exciting enhancements coming to SFI this year. ?

Onward and upward!

Gery Carson
SFI President & Founder

There was a lot explained in that letter. Hopefully that gives you an idea of what SFI is about and that they truly care about their affiliates’ success.

Did you see the mention of 11 years? They’ve been around for a long time, and for good reason!

They’re a solid company that I’m happy to be a part of and that I want to share with you. I’d be happy to have you on my team, and of course, I’ll teach you everything I know about how to be successful with them as I provide free training for my members.

I always like the fact that Gery is constantly trying to improve the system. There’s way too many affiliate programs that get old and stale and do nothing to try and improve their product or service. This is where SFI really stands out from the croud, another reason for their long lasting success.

You gulp down a cup of high-octane coffee, hop in the ol’ Pinto and head off for another day at a job you despise working for a boss who “hears voices.” Not good. Great. Is this how you imagined it would be? Working from paycheck to paycheck. Trying to keep your outgo from exceeding your income? Is this how you pictured your life? Nobody does, but here we all are every morning in that moving parking lot called the downtown expressway.

So, why don’t you do something about it? Simple fact: if you desire something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) sometimes called network marketing, MLM has been around a long time and it’s made a lot of people a lot of cash. Those pink Caddies Mary Kaye gives out don’t come cheap. In a nutshell, MLM involves selling a product or service directly to clients while, simultaneously, building a sales force of your own through recruitment. The more prospects, the higher the payout.

And when your recruits bring on other prospects, your team grows and so do your returns. Amway, now called Quixtar, is one of the best known MLM companies, but there are hundreds of others – all providing hard-working folks the opportunity to:

• add additional income to the cookie jar each month
• transition out of a dead-end job
• earn from home, ideal for stay-at-home parents
• earn walking around money for campus expenses in school
• name your own hours
• build equity in a business that delivers residual income

However, MLM ain’t all tea and crumpets. These entrepreneurs usually recruit family, co-workers, neighbors, friends and acquaintances – sometimes to the point of obnoxiousness. Stop bugging your brother-in-law. He doesn’t want to sell and recruit and build a successful business. Leave the poor guy alone. Lead generation is a loathsome part of any sales job. Cold calls, rejections, hang-ups and “she’ll get back to you.” It’s the worst part of any sales job. But what if you had prospects delivered to your email inbox each day. Yeah, warm leads ready for initial contact. What if you could sign on with an MLM lead generation marketing network? Sweet.

Increase Your Margins and Earnings with Low-Cost MLM Leads. There are plenty of people lining up to join the right MLM program. Especially in this, ummm, choppy economy in which job security flew out the window when gramps retired. What’s your Plan B? Well, regardless of which network marketing program you opt for, you’ll juice up your margins and pocket more income the less time you spend behind a desk tracking down another lead. General rule of thumb in the sales biz – have at least 10 prospects in the pipeline at all times. Well, using a lead generation system, quality MLM leads are delivered on a silver platter.

So, instead of wasting time on lead generation for your MLM business, you’re doing what you should be doing. Growing your business. What You Need Is Automation. The successful salesperson has turned to automation for lead generation, boosting productivity across the board. Employing web-based tools like a call capture service, outsourcers and, yes, qualified lead generation software increases your efficiency and simplifies the qualification process.

Straight up. If you have the entrepreneurial drive to take control of your life and kiss that office tyrant bye-bye for good, get automated and get to work designing a brighter future for you and your family. It’s not easy. It’s not get rich quick. But it does put you in control, perhaps for the first time in your life.

You still here? Shouldn’t you explore this a little more?

Income generating alternatives to the ‘nine-to-five job’ are becoming increasingly important in our unstable globalized economy. Many people have successfully diversified their incomes through network marketing.

Why Network Marketing?

Many members of the local community have found that a secure job or career is a thing of the past.

The career and financial uncertainties arising from corporate downsizing has coined terms such as McJob and permatemp. A McJob is a low-paying, low-prestige position requiring few skills and offering little opportunity for advancement. Permatemps are temporary workers who are expected to do the same work as permanent employees but without the benefits or prospect of career advancement.

Network marketing offers individuals an alternative to job insecurity.

Entrepreneurs looking for financial freedom and a better way of life have turned to network marketing. There are many reasons why network marketing offers a viable alternative to working in the corporate world.

First, a direct marketing business can be developed in your spare time while you continue working. Often wives build successful network marketing organizations while their husbands continue to work in the corporate world. Over time, the network marketing business grows large enough to support the whole family. In the meantime, it offers an additional income stream and decreases the risks associated with corporate downsizing.

Second, most direct marketing businesses require little start-up capital. For many organizations, this is less than $300. Starting your own business or buying a franchise can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. (And there’s no guarantee that the business will generate sufficient income to repay the money borrowed). If you’re looking for a company to get started with for less than $30 a month, check out SFI.

Third, direct marketing generates an ongoing stream of residual income. This is especially true for organizations marketing a product that gets used up and needs to be purchased regularly.

Residual Income is the Key to Financial Freedom.

Residual income (also called passive income) is one of the greatest benefits offered by network marketing . This is why Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and many other publications, highly recommends network marketing in his books.

Kiyosaki writes about ways to develop residual income streams. They include:

• networking marketing
• royalties from patents and copyrighted works
• sales commissions in some industries, e.g. insurance
• rental income from property investment
• dividends from shares

With the exception of network marketing, most of these methods require large amounts of capital, time, or both to generate long-term results.

With a small investment and dedication, network marketing has helped many families take control of their financial destinies by generating a residual income. They have found a solution to corporate downsizing in the form of network marketing.

More importantly, residual income from network marketing can lay the foundation for your future wealth and financial freedom.
Besides the financial benefits, people have found one of the greatest benefits of network marketing is that it can be operated as a home-based business.
