SFI AFFILIATE PROGRAM- THE REVIEW.

One of the most popular and prominent affiliate program on the internet is the SFI AFFILIATE PROGRAM. With more than 20 years of online activities and on time commission payments, SFI can be said to be one of the oldest and most consistent affiliate program, with a data base of more than 600,000 affiliates worldwide.
   For the benefit of those who might be interested in becoming an SFI affiliate and also those who recently joined the program and haven't heard from their sponsors, i would try my best to be very elaborate and communicate an understanding of why SFI is such a great program.

  It is common knowledge that "for someone to successfully promote a program or service, a basic understanding of the program and what it entails is required, without which all promotional efforts might yield a less than satisfactory result or even failure."
  
  The Strong Future International popularly referred to as SFI, is a division of Carson Services Inc., which has its headquarters in Lincoln , Nebraska in the United States . The organization was founded in 1985 by popular marketing guru Gery Carson; famous for his business ingenuity and outstanding marketing performances.
   The strong future international is a global affiliate program with over 200 countries accepted worldwide and with a variety of payment options particularly structured to the different global region of all accepted affiliate states.
   Signing up as an SFI affiliate is free and easy, and also comes with a one month free training series once you've been registered and confirmed your account. But becoming a successful SFI affiliate depends solely on you and how determined you're to succeeding.
   SFI is not a get rich quick program or scam, but a brilliantly structured and well calculated program which provides individuals a means of earning a steady reoccurring monthly alternate salary on the internet, with  the amount varying according to the input and hardwork of each individual.

    SFI incoporates two programs to makeup its affiliate program (namely Tripleclicks and Pricebenders auctions).

Tripleclicks is a conglomerate of stores, an internet mega shopping mall containing over 6000 products of a variety of categories ranging from electronics to magazines, games, jewelries and lots more plus SFI's own services and products.
  Triple Clicks also allows a Private Seller Program for SFI members, which allows members to sell their own products (be it ebooks, old furnitures, crafts and art works, whatever) on the tripleclicks shopping site alongside other tripleclicks products for free. This is very similar to the popular EBay listing and it has contributed to the rapid growth of the SFI program .
   Pricebenders, is an auction site where SFI members can bid and win a variety of products at more than 50% less than the retail price.
Though bidding credits (called tcredits) has to be purchased first, reccommended credit pack cost at $29 for 100 tcredits, with bids charged at 1 tcredit per bid.

   SFI takes affiliate marketing to new and interesting level by ranking affiliates due to accomplishments as an SFI affiliate,points called VERSA POINTS (vp) are assigned to every successful product sale and affiliate actions and rankings are made in a hierarchical order based on the monthly accumulation of these points up until a specified mark, starting with the lowest at Affiliate (0-1499 vp) and the highest at Platinum team leader(6000vp or above).
Each rank comes with an added compensation than  just the normal comissions, but the most popular rank is the executive affiliate (EA) which is just a rank above the normal affiliate attained by monthly accumulation of 1500vp, as it is the easiest rank to acheive and maintain without much stress, and has the compensation benefits of
1. 10 tcredits monthly for pricebenders bids or shopping at tripleclicks.
2. Two co-sponsored refferrals monthly.(you earn up to 25% comissions on sales made by your co-sponsored downlines).
3. Monthly shares in the total profits from both pricebenders and tripleclicks.
The catch to these extra compensations is that you have to maintain your EA status monthly to qualify, failure to make EA status would revert you to your default normal affiliate status and you would lose all previously accumulated co-sponsored downlines and eligibility to share in the pricebenders and tripleclicks monthly executive profits pool, tcredits won't be affected.

BECOMING AN AFFILIATE

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular internet jobs and an affiliate, is a third-party mediator between internet programs and internet surfers. An affiliate can be better described as an internet sales person, as commissions are paid to affiliates when they manage to refer paying customers to the affiliate program which they represent or are promoting. Affiliate programs sometimes also pay their affiliates commissions when they refer other persons to register as affiliates themselves. These commissions are paid either in single tier payments (i.e a certain amount paid only once), or in multi-tier payments (i.e a certain amount for the affiliate's direct refferrals which makes up the 1st tier, and a lesser amount for direct refferrals of the affiliate's 1st tier, which thus makes up the 2nd tier, and so on depending on the refferral tier limit being operated by the affiliate program. Multi-tiered affiliate programs are also called multi level marketing programs popularly referred to as MLM programs. While the the referred persons are called downline.

It's an affiliate's job to promote or advertise the program he's a member of, creating public awareness about the program, goods or services which he's selling amongst his family, friends, neighbourhood, community, state, country, continent, worldwide!, depending on how global the program is. This could be done by word of mouth, posters in public places, handbills, social networks, blogs or webpages, internet ads networks and so on. Before registering for any affiliate program, it is advisable to carry out your own personal researches as to whether or not the program suits your needs in terms of payments (both mode of payment and percentage commissions), your personal skill and capacity, the market demand of the product and mediums available with which to promote it. There are numerous affiliate programs on the internet with various commission rates and benefits. Registering with affiliate networks such as Linkshare, Comissions junction, Shareasale and Clickbank amongst numerous others is a way of sourcing legitimate and paying affiliate programs, or carrying out a personal research via search engines and forum or ranking sites to validate programs which might be of some interest to you.
