I have written a few reviews on SFI (Strong Future International).  They have recently changed their program and the compensation package so I thought it was time for another review.

As I have stated before SFI was the first Internet Business I became involved in eight years ago.  I promoted the opportunity and the products for the first five years.  I maintained an EA membership for most of those five years; which cost me approximately $30.00 or more a month.  Out of that $30.00 (which was my only sale) the most I received for one month was $20.00.

I don’t mean to imply that it is not a good program.  It is however a very difficult one if you want to make money fast.  It just won’t happen.

With the new changes at SFI it is somewhat more user friendly when it comes to training and accessibility of the products.  The Triple Click Program is basically a store where anyone can purchase products for their home or office.  You don’t have to be a member to access this site.  It is also the primary store for the affiliates to purchase the needed merchandise they need to continue with their Executive Affiliate upgrades.  Once you sign into the page you can also list things for purchase, so I can see where it would be attractive to many.

Their Eye Earn program is another way of signing up affiliates under you so that you can make money.  With this you have to purchase the Eye Earn package, display it on either you car, wear the shirt and then take a picture and send it to them so they can verify that you are advertising their product before you can earn any money from them.

There are several other programs within SFI where you could possibly make money.  The only program that I really benefited from was the IAHBE, which is now sold in the Triple Click Program.  This is a great learning tool that has tons of free books, articles, and advice on how to run a successful home business.  Anyone starting a home business could benefit from this site you don’t have to be a member of SFI to purchase the program; it is connected to SFI and they will encourage you to sign up for SFI but you don’t have to and it is $30 a month to stay with them, it is not a one time purchase.

SFI will tell you that you don’t need to upgrade to make money.  But in fact you really do.  You can make money as a free associate but it is questionable if it is worth your time.  I have 170 associates under me (that is after eight years of advertising), my upline support was non-existent, SFI support is there 24/7 but does not always answer your question.  If you are not an EA they will insist that you have to be one before you can make money.

As far as their compensation package I am still a little confused.  One person tells me I don’t have to be an EA to make money from my downline, while another tells me I do.  I haven’t been an EA for some time and refuse to spend $30.00 a month on the off chance I might earn $6.00 of it back from someone under me that will upgrade.  By the way I do have two EA’s under me at this time and am always there to answer their questions honestly.

You are suppose to earn 30% commission on any non-affiliate sale; if one of your personally sponsored affiliates purchases something from Triple Clicks you are suppose to earn 15% of that sale.  And on it goes until you are crossed eyed trying to figure out if they owe you money.

I would say that when SFI started in the 1980’s it was new and innovative.  It filled a void on the Internet for those of us who wanted to work from home.  The people who started then have made a fortune; I am just not sure it can be said of those who join today.  SFI provides “residual” income in that once you have made a sale or had one of your downline upgrade the income keeps coming in from those sources. As with any business you continually have to go out and find new sources to keep that income growing. There are many programs on the Internet that provide that also, SFI isn’t the only one.

So with all of this said you are probably wondering why I still promote SFI?  Strong Future International is basically a good program for the beginner to learn about affiliate marketing.  It will take you through advertising on the Internet both free and paid, it has some really great products.  Upgrade?  Not unless you can afford it.  Look through the Triple Clicks store at the products offered, if you can see yourself selling $30 or more each month then that would pay for your upgrade.  If you have the extra money each month to take $30 out of your budget to pay your own way then do so; but if you do not have the money don’t upgrade.

This program does have flaws still, but overall if you go into it with an open mind you can learn something about Internet Marketing.
