SFI - all perks and opportunities

I have had a great experience with SFI affiliate center and here is why.

I am new to affiliate marketing and thus don’t know much about what strategies go best, how to successfully promote, how to get people not just to buy but also come back etc. I know the technical staff, because i am a programmer so my forte is making adds, banners, pages, articles… But one is nothing without the other.

So when i stumbled upon this particular site, I was drawn in by the fact that you don’t work alone. You have an up line that is there to support you, guide you in any way you need them to. And the further you go up, the more experienced advises you get. And people are really willing to share because your future success is their success, because of course if you become successful they benefit in points and rank because they helped you. On the other hand, there is a down line that you can and should create for you. So you send your knowledge down the line and benefit from all your successors. It’s like a knowledge spreading tree.

Work in a team

For those people, like myself, who don’t have that many friends who are willing to participate or work in a team, there are different ways that you can win, attract, get or buy new team members. And the process is the same. If you develop them and show them the way and they prosper, you prosper with them.

The second thing, the thing that kept me occupied, were all other non selling and promoting activities that you can use while waiting for your product to be sold. So while your product add is out there making clicks and visits, you are having fun playing mini games, quizzes, entering different competitions etc… and also having a chance to earn some more funds for future investment. It is a great way to ease up the stress and tension, because sometimes it can take months for you to actually make a sale.

The knowledge base is also open for all members. Best practices, videos, reading materials, experiences, books, marketing aids… all that you could ever need to help you in your campaign.

Another great perk that i have personally tried, is using something that is called Localvantia. It’s a collection of vendors available all around the world where if you are a costumer you get discounts. So, i found a pastry shop near me and bought a cake for a birthday and when submitted the receipt got a in app reward that i can turn into money or invest. But that is not all, if you know someone who has a business near you and is struggling with promotion and low costumer numbers, you can register them into this system and they get a great number of new potential buyers and you get a percent from every perches someone made there. So again you are earning.

So as you can see from only few benefits that i have stated here, and tried myself, it is a family like organised business that can bring you profits with much less stress than going out there alone. Of course, no one will judge you if you have other affiliating business on the side, so it’s also good to combine with other activities.

Only fools and hourses

I simply love it and enjoy it, and i think so would you. As there are no fees or requirements to invest your own money there is nothing to loose. And by my humble opinion, even if you don’t make any large amounts of money at first, the knowledge you can benefit on is priceless.

A good place to start affiliating

Before you start anything you should gather as much information as you can about what is your goal.

Affiliate marketing is not a trait that is learned overnight and it takes time to understand it and to maximize your profit from it. There are many techniques and strategies, but you have to recognize what are your strengths and where you feel most comfortable.

In my personal experience it is hard starting on your own. I have spent ours and ours posting adds and promotions on free add sites trying to start up from scratch. And it is really depressing when you see no clicks, no visitors, no commissions.

There are a lot of affiliate sites that will be hard to get accepted to, and if you are inexperienced and do get in i think it will overpower you. This is a growing market and the competition is really tough.

If you on the other hand have someone who can guide you or help you, that would be a huge advantage. It’s not everyday that you can meat people willing to share their secrets. I watched 20 or 30 videos where different people were telling me how it is easy, just copy paste, but no one can guaranty anything beside the opportunity. And most of them invest quite a bit of their own money for advertising and promoting.

My best experience came from an unlikely turn of events. By accident i stumbled upon a site SFI affiliate center and I joined just because it was part of a small job I was finishing. I thought it was going to be get in get what you need and get out. But for a month now I can confidently say that I wouldn’t change this community of affiliates for anything.

Every person works in a team. You have your sponsor/mentor who is there for your every question and guidance. That sponsor is in the team of his own and has his own mentor and so on. It’s a tree like structure and the trick is that everyone above you benefits from your success. So it’s in their best interest to help you learn, grow, develop your own team and prosper. It’s a win win situation.

So, to summarize, you need to know this: Affiliate - What, How, Where

What do you want to achieve?

How do you do it?

Where to start?

And once you get your hands on the steering wheel the road is yours. The destination - success. Time that it will take you to get there and benefits along the way are entirely up to you. And the best thing - you can’t loose!

Influencer Cash - BIG FRAUD!!!!

For those of you who haven't read my previous article on this matter (Earn through your social networks), here is a short version with the followup:

1. I have decided to test one of many sites that are promoting the idea that someone would pay you large amount of money just to bring in some friends and click on some adds etc.
2. I created an account, and i asked some of my friends to participate to gather the minimum amount of clicks and registrations to be able to withdraw money from their site. I would like to thank all those friends for their support and excuse myself for any inconvenience. To be clear - i haven't used any false accounts, vpn, fingering data or anything like that. These are today's screenshots, one day after i was suppose to receive my scheduled payout.
3. I waited patiently for over 30 days for the stated date to come and during all those 30 days in my recite was a statement declaring that all verification were done and legit.
4. As you can see on the second picture, the big day had come and gone. And of course no money. But the reason stated was that suddenly i wasn't eligible to receive payment because of fraud data and that my account will be terminated in the next 7 days. But!!!! If i want to try again the right way they absolutely encourage it!!!! Really??? They encourage someone who they think is trying to fraud them to come and register again and give them another set of emails and flowing data?
5. And finally, if i am not satisfied i am to contact their Fraud Department. At this point i must just say that there is no email, no contact page or any other contact on the entire website, Facebook page or any other social media. Need I say more?

Conclusion: This and all similar sites are one big fraud, so my advice is to avoid them. Nothing comes overnight and out of thin air. If you have any experience with this or similar sites please do comment so that we can help others not to make our mistakes!

TIP: If you are looking for something real and worth your time try SFI.

The easiest bechamel sauce

The trick is in the trick.
The bechamel sauce is just few ingredients but has to be prepared with some finesse.
If you haven't made it yet this is a good way to start. If you have made it before, here are some tricks to perfect it.

Ingredients:

• butter
• flour
• milk
• nutmeg
• Parmesan cheese

The last two ingredients are just an addition to the basic trio that makes this sauce unique. I left out the measurement on purpose because it is all in the feeling or in texture so to say. The process is simple.

Preparation:

1. melt the butter on the medium heat
2. add flower two by two spoons and whisk it. Keep adding flour until you get consistent mixture that is sand like and thick.
   
3. Reduce the heat and with continuous whisking add milk little by little. Once you start adding milk there is no going back, so forget about adding flour. You will get lumps if you do that.
4. When you get smooth and creamy mixture then you have two choices. Just leave it be, or go to the next step.
   
5. Add nutmeg to spice it up a little.
6. Add a little more milk just so it is less dens and then add Parmesan cheese to give it something extra.
   

The use of Parmesan cheese in bechamel i discovered in Greece where they traditionally use it in musaka recipes. For more on that topic stay tuned.
