What Is An Affiliate Program?
Some of you may already be familiar with affiliate programs and may even have had some experience with them. For those of you that aren't familiar with them, here are the basics about affiliate programs in general before I get into SFI specifically.
An affiliate program is a program in which a merchant will pay an individual when that individual refers a new customer to their website. Affiliates are given their own unique referral link to promote which is how merchants track which customers are referred by which affiliates. Most of the time the customers that are referred will have to make a purchase in order for the referring affiliate to make any money. Some affiliate programs will pay you just for generating leads or even pay you when someone clicks your affiliate link but most affiliate programs will only pay when one of your referrals makes a purchase. In some affiliate programs, once you refer an customer to a merchant, that customer becomes your referral for life, meaning that you will earn a commission for every purchase that that customer makes, not just a purchase for the specific product that you're promoting.
Affiliate programs are generally free to sign up for unlike other programs that have some kind of membership fee or purchase requirements in order for you to make any money. Some affiliate programs will want you to have your own website before they accept you into their program but others will not. Fortunately you can create your own website for free if you need one.
About SFI

How much does it cost to become an affiliate?
SFI is free to join and there are never any membership fees or purchase requirements. All you have to do to become an affiliate is be of legal age in your country. That said, many affiliates do purchase SFI products for themselves but again that is not required to be an affiliate.
Do I need my own website to become an affiliate?
No. You can become an affiliate without having your own website however, having your own website does help when promoting SFI's products.
Is SFI a "get rich quick scheme?"
SFI is not a get rich quick scheme and there are no promises of instant wealth. That said, a lot of affiliates do make good money with SFI. SFI has paid out many millions of dollars to their affiliates. It does take time and commitment and patience but if you're willing to put in the time and effort then you can make money too as an SFI affiliate.

What is the compensation plan? How will I get paid?
The main source of compensation is the direct commissions program. As an SFI affiliate, you will earn a commission every time you generate a customer sale. Not only that but you can also sponsor new affiliates to SFI and earn commissions on every purchase that they make too. And once you sign up a member or affiliate, they become your customer for life.
But that's not the only way that you can earn money with SFI. There are many more ways and you can learn about them by checking out SFI's compensation plan.
Affiliates living in the U.S. can receive their commissions via a Payoneer Mastercard, mailed check, Paypal, Alert Pay or direct deposit. Direct deposit is not available for affiliates living outside of the U.S. but the other payment options are available for international affiliates.

lol, yeah, I saw that and couldn't find a link on the site for signing up as an affiliate either, so I put it off.
Anyway, ok, I'm signed up now. Thanks Kenorv.
