Hello Geoffery 

Good question. Why we need to join only SFI and not any other online business? The basic reason is SFI is a unique business and stands apart from other online businesses in many ways. 

There are many differences, let me enumerate them below: 

1. The SFI (Strong Future International) business is one among the oldest surviving business. It started in 1998 with one product. Now it sells about 80,000+ products online. 

2. Most of the online businesses sell their own products but do not allow you to sell your products. SFI sells its product on TripleClicks.com and also allow you sell your own products via TripleCLicks and ECA (e-Commerce Associate Program). 

3. SFI offers you 45% Direct Commissions on your sales and sales by your personally sponsored affiliates which is among the highest in the world. 

4. SFI is a Legacy Income based that means you can transfer it to your family member after building it up at any time. This provision is generally not permitted in other online programs. 

5. Most of the online programs vanish or change to another business whereas SFI been online for the last 17 years and will continue to be always online. 

6. Most of the online businesses pay you for your work but SFI pays you to many generations of your downline depending upon your Leadership Rank. 

7. The best support system is available to all SFI affiliate through Forum and Support Tickets 24x7x365 days which is unseen in other online businesses. 

Hope it helps to answer your question, Mr Geofferey ! 

Have a Nice Day, 

Tip of the Day

TIP OF THE DAY

Welcome to the ZING Network!

As outlined in this LaunchPad lesson and our SFI support desk, the Zing Network is an "umbrella network" designed to simplify SFI for affiliates, putting membership in ALL of our properties "all under one roof." 

So, for example, there's no such person as a "TripleClicks Member" or a "Rewardical Member." Your Personally Referred Members are simply considered Zing members who, upon signing up, can access ALL Zing properties (i.e., Localvantia.com, Rewardicals.com, TripleClicks.com, etc.) using ONE login. 

Why does this matter to you, an SFI Affiliate (and Zing member too)? 

Because once you’ve referred a member, some very cool things kick in for you and your SFI business! Firstly, as we mentioned above, no matter how you attracted a referral, whether it was to an Eager Zebra game, to a Pricebenders auction, or a product or other element of one of our other Zing properties, your PRM is exposed to ALL our other sites, including SFI and the SFI Affiliate opportunity--helping promote activity among your customers and affiliates...and increased profits for you! 

At the same time, Zing simplifies SFI for you and your downline by boiling the process of getting started with SFI down to one simple action: REFER MEMBERS. 

So, as a team builder, your primary business focus should be to simply refer members to the Zing Network AND teach your new PSAs how to refer members as well. This strategy could truly lead to explosive business growth for you and your team!

Hello everyone hope your all having a wonderful morning, day or evening! 

Today I am celebrating my 1st Anniversary here and I would like to share everything I have accomplished in 1 year.
I feel honored and proud of my accomplishments because all my hard work starting to pay off. 

Since day 1 of joining SFI and starting my amazing journey here, I have never stopped reading, learning, working towards building my business. Everyday I had to do something to grow my business, which later became my daily habit. 
I've became Silver Team Leader

Here are my accomplishments so far:
I had made it to 5 Gens, but one of my PSAs became inactive and for failing one of the affiliate agreement she has lost all her downline and all her downline were assigned to me. But its okay I know she had very good reason of personal life of why she became inactive. She said she'll be back online after getting her life back together.Till she's ready to come back, I'll make sure to take care of her downline for her.

Now I got 3 Gens and CSAs
GEN AFFILIATES
PSA 162
2 135
3 126 
CSA 344 
PRMs 30

I got amazing Team whom I am very proud of (1 STL, BTLs and EAs) and whom I cherish and appreciate every each one of them. Thank you all for being such an amazing associates and friends. 

E365 Champion with 40,041 ALL-TIME VP , 11-MONTH EA STREAK and 365-DAY VP STREAK
#58 in Top Sponsors 
Buster Club Member 
Forum Guru 
#1 in my class
25x support stars
Opti-Build Leader etc.... 
60 TOTAL BADGES
Leaderboard Rank: 258 (13630 points)

This month just to show how much I appreciate my team, I created a contest from July 11, 2018 to December 30, 2018 for everyone in my downline from Gen 1 -8.
Who ever reaches BTL each month will be receiving 1 PRM with a special key code from me.
As promised each BTL so far got their PRMs.
Now of course for my EAs in Gen 1 as reward they get 5 PSAs and BTLs (DDs) get their PSAs from my Opti-Build program. 
I just hope they also appreciate all my hard work as I appreciate theirs!

About my inactive members I have already made a thread sharing the great news here:
www.sfimg.com/forum/thread?post_id=1458075#post-1458075

Soon I'll be going for GTL or Higher if God permits.

So what trying to say is be patient, keep persisting, keep learning, keep working hard. With the right mindset and attitude you can do anything. Just set your goals and keep moving forward working hard in reaching each one of those goals. 
Together we can move the mountains. Only the sky is the limit.

Wish all of you much more success in your businesses! 
Thank you all for reading.

Localvantia

Introduction To Localvantia

What is Localvantia?

Localvantia is our powerful and unique program that lets you enjoy exclusive benefits, savings, and great rewards (including free VersaPoints, TCredits, Bitcoin, and more!) simply by shopping at your favorite local merchants.  Yes, Localvantia means, for example, that you can earn unlimited FREE VersaPoints while simply going about your day--buying groceries, dining at local restaurants, fueling up your car, and so on, and with no additional cost to your budget!

And, as an SFI Affiliate, you can begin using Localvantia immediately! Simply visit the RW tab on your SFI homepage where participating merchants are automatically listed for you...then start shopping!

Here's how Localvantia works:

Localvantia is fueled by Rewardical digital rewards tokens.  Let's say you regularly visit a Localvantia restaurant in your area. With each visit, you collect Rewardical Tokens which are automatically added to your account balance (learn how you receive Rewardicals from merchants here). Then, whenever you want, just go to the Rewardical Exchange and redeem them for VersaPoints (or TCredits, Silver Bullion, Bitcoin, or whatever goodies you want)!

The Localvantia Merchant Referral program

Localvantia is a terrific program for earning rank-qualifying VersaPoints, etc.  But, as an SFI affiliate, there's a MUCH bigger opportunity as well.   That is, referring merchants.  For each merchant you refer, you can set yourself up to automatically earn 1 Rewardical for every 10 Rewardicals they dish out to their customers.  Imagine referring a few dozen of your favorite local businesses.  Not only will you be able to earn unlimited Rewardicals for yourself shopping at your favorite stores, but you can also earn thousands of additional Rewardicals each month when those merchants award Rewardicals to their other customers!

Referring merchants is simple and easy. Just:

1. Visit your favorite merchant(s).
2. Take a good picture of their storefront.
3. Go to https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/lv_prereg and fill out the short pre-registration form for the merchant and upload the photo you took.
4. When you're ready, follow up (get instructions here).  Special Note: You must be an Executive Affiliate to be an Account Manager for pre-registered merchants. Learn more here.

Pre-registering merchants in your area will ensure YOU are credited for that merchant. That means when your referred merchant officially signs up with Localvantia and begins awarding Rewardicals to customers, YOU can be listed as the person who referred them and earn all the associated rewards.

Our pre-registration system also helps your area merchants get started quickly and easily. So, when you follow up with your pre-registered merchant, they can simply go to Localvantia.com and find 80% of their business listing pre-populated and ready to go. A few quick clicks later, and they can be off and running, live in the Localvantia.com search engine, attracting new customers...and earning you Referral Tokens!

Hold on to your seat. Things are starting to happen in a big way. 

Thank you team for being the awesome people you are!!!!

I chose the category "Getting Started" because I want the new affiliates to see this thread. I hope we can get some of the veterans to comment in order to help. In another thread, a comment about worrying was made by an affiliate who has been here for a few weeks. The main question on everybody's mind is this. Does anybody make money here?

I'm not asking for any figures to be disclosed here, but I would like for our new affiliates to see that there are plenty of us here receiving commission every month. Even if it is $1, if you are receiving money each month, can you please comment that you are making money? Again, please do NOT disclose the amount, just simply say that you are receiving money for your efforts.

Thanks in advance because I believe that this will go a long way in helping ease the minds of some our new affiliates!

And yes, I do receive money each month for my efforts here in SFI. This company is 100% legit so please don't worry! 

Rewardicals

Introduction to Rewardicals

What are Rewardicals?  

Rewardicals (sometimes referred to Rewardical Tokens or RT) are amazing digital tokens you can earn FREE while...

• Shopping and dining at local businesses
• Shopping at online stores (including TripleClicks)
• Playing online games and contests at TripleClicks and the SFI Affiliate Center

You can then redeem your Rewardical tokens whenever you want for a variety of cool products and other irresistible goodies–including VersaPoints, free Bitcoin, gift cards, silver bullion, and more!

You can view all the ways to earn Rewardicals HERE.

A couple of other great benefits:

The Rewardical Loyalty Program has a very powerful, built-in referral program. It works like this:  For every 10 Rewardicals earned by your PSAs and PRMs, you’ll earn one Rewardical.

Example: Your PSAs and PRMs earn 50,000 Rewardicals in December shopping at local merchants. On January 1st, you’ll automatically be awarded 5,000 Rewardicals…that you can then exchange for whatever you want…VersaPoints, TCredits, CSAs, Bitcoin, etc. 

Rewardical is also the official rewards token for our Localvantia Program and is THE most important component of Localvantia, empowering it to attract millions of people (and more earning power for SFI Affiliates) in the months and years to come!

Getting Started - Versa Points

Introduction to VersaPoints

What are VersaPoints?  

VersaPoints (VP) are points that are awarded to you for doing various actions that support the growth and success of your SFI business.  When you joined SFI, for example, you had the opportunity to earn hundreds of VP for confirming your email address, for uploading your account photo, etc.  And there are dozens of other actions that you can do monthly to earn thousands of VersaPoints (see your TO DO list for a complete list of available actions that earn you VP).

Why VersaPoints are important:

1. VersaPoints are used as the primary method for determining your rank in SFI.  The more VP you collect, the higher your rank in SFI can go and the more benefits become available to you.  To review the benefits of each rank, see our Benefits Chart.

2. If you're still in your first year in SFI, VersaPoints are also important because collecting the most VP is the objective of the E365 contest (a contest for all SFI affiliates in which you can share in over $100,000 dollars in cash and prizes).  Learn more about E365 HERE.

3. VersaPoints are the key to our "Power Rank" program. Power Rank allows you to see how you stack up amongst your fellow SFI'ers—in your class, in your country, and overall, too.  The more points you collect, the higher your Power Rank can go and the more prestigious your Power Rank badge will be.  Check out the current Power Rank Leaderboard and see where YOU are positioned now HERE.

TIP: Your current VersaPoints totals (for today, this month, last month, and all-time) are available 24 hours a day on your Scoreboard tab.

TIP: You can collect unlimited VersaPoints at no cost each month.  See: 12+ ways you can earn VersaPoints for free for more information.

SFI Basics

Success starts here

Every successful program has a core component.  In SFI, the core is the 15 "daily action tabs" on your Affiliate Center homepage.

Each of the 15 tabs provide vital knowledge and information–customized just for you.  Day by day, these 15 tabs will teach and guide you how to become a highly successful SFI affiliate.  But it's absolutely essential that you thoroughly read, digest, and, most importantly, consistently APPLY the information to your business.  We cannot stress this enough!  Just scanning the information will get you nowhere.  If you want to build a profitable SFI business, you MUST use and apply the knowledge you're receiving.

---

Valuable bonuses too!

As you go through the 15 action tabs each day, you'll also be picking up valuable benefits!  For 12 of the action tabs, you can earn 1 VersaPoint each day. We'll go into more details in later lessons about VersaPoints...but for now just know that VPs help determine your rank in SFI and associated bonuses.  You can also pick up free valuable extra entries in the Daily Grand drawing to win great business-building prizes.

---

The most important thing

In the following LaunchPad lessons (and from other channels too), a lot of information is coming your way.  Don't worry, you'll get the hang of everything soon enough, but whatever you do, don't forget what this lesson has told you:

1. Review your action tabs every day
2. Apply what you learn

If you do nothing but these two actions, success is virtually guaranteed.  So set a goal for yourself NOW to do these two actions every day, starting today!

...and REMEMBER:

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you!

If you are determined to learn, no one can STOP you!

A SIMPLE BUSINESS STRATEGY

At SFI, we're aiming for nothing less than revolutionizing the field of network marketing and casting wide the gates of financial success for every person wishing to start a business of their own, generate ongoing income, and improve their lives and their futures. This is about much more than working just to pay your bills. This is about developing a "wealth mindset."

As Jim Rohn, American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker, said:

Why not work full time on your job and part time on your fortune? And what a feeling you’ll have when you can honestly say, “I’m working to become wealthy. I’m not just working to pay my bills.” When you have a wealth plan, you’ll be so motivated that you’ll have a hard time going to bed at night.

Historically, this dream has eluded many who didn't understand that creating wealth is as much a matter of a good "wealth mindset" and proper motivation as it is a set of practical marketing strategies and skills. Consequently, many of these people simply got bogged down in areas they were uninterested or ineffective in–like "selling stuff"–and eventually quit trying altogether.

But we're committed to move beyond these limitations with the SFI Affiliate Program and to help you create a philosophy of success! 

Supported by our Zing Network of games, auctions, rewards programs, and online shopping, we've boiled down your SFI business action plan to just ONE main strategy: REFER MEMBERS. 

That's it.

OK...here's a bit more detail: Simply refer your contacts to any Zing Network site you wish. Every time one of your prospects signs up as a free Zing Member, they become your Personally Referred Member (PRM)–and YOU can then earn sales commissions on ALL their purchases from any Zing site for life!

Why would they wish to become a Zing Member? The benefits, of course! Our Zing Network includes an array of gaming, auction, reward, and shopping sites designed to appeal to just about anyone. And as an Affiliate, you can simply follow your interests to promote the Zing site that you're most passionate about. Interested in fun online games? Promote free Eager Zebra Games. Like penny auctions? Spread the word about Pricebenders Auctions. Want to promote your local area businesses? Introduce merchants to the Localvantia search engine and encourage prospective customers to shop at participating stores for loyalty rewards. Think that digital reward tokens (that can be exchanged for silver, Bitcoin, gift cards, and more) will attract the most members? Direct your prospects to our Rewardical site. 

But here's where the REAL power of the SFI Affiliate program kicks in: Once your prospect signs up for free, they now become Zing Members and have instant access to ALL Zing sites (using the same login credentials)! That means that for every TCreditthey purchase to bid at a Pricebenders Auction or play an Eager Zebra game, YOU earn a commission. For every purchase they make at TripleClicks.com, YOU earn a commission. And if they decide to become an SFI Affiliate themselves, YOU boost your potential earning power even more and tap into even more income streams!

Sounds good, right? Now, let's get to some details...
