"What's the difference between being an SFI affiliate and having a traditional business, and which is better?"
Very interesting question. I’ve asked myself this question and come to the following conclusion:
If you can’t invest in a specific service or products to start, then being a SFI affiliate will be the best way to start out. It is free and as somebody already mentioned: You don’t need to have your own products as you have access to over 98000 products in TripleTricks.

Welcome.
This is the question that I asked myself the day of the cooperation with the SFI.
Probably there is no definite answer, because otherwise everyone goes to SFI.
SFI can be your business, it can be part of your business, or simply an additional source of income.

It all depends on several factors:
1 Do you already have another web business?
2 How much you want to invest in SFI?
3 Should it be your additional or sole source of income?
4 How much

Being an SFI affiliate means everything you do is purely online. If you want to sell an item, all you have to do is just go to their online store, TripleClicks, be an ECA and list your items there.

On the other hand, traditional business is the one you see daily outside. There are so many requirements when setting up a traditional business like finding the right place, preparing the documents such as business permits, and hiring employers.

I would have to say that being an SFI

For me and thousands of other SFI affiliates, SFI affiliate business is far better then a traditional business.
There is a Big difference between being an SFI affiliate and having a traditional business, Because
A traditional business requires a lot of investment and a regular continious attention and guidence, or it would collapse, if you are not seriously watching over it and then there is allways a chance that someone will surelly do a fraud with you.
But in Sfi you can sure forget

Hi...

In traditional business, you need longer time to learn the pros and cons of your chosen business. Management is very intensive and the return of investment is very risky. You need years to develop a traditional business, not to mention the manpower, the space and the equipment you need when you decide to start a traditional business.

With SFI, you don't need much time to develop it. You manage it by yourself and you alone decide on how to go about it and how much you want

In my opinion the biggest difference is that SFI is free and everyone can do it. The only thing that you need to start a SFI business is an internet connection. The rest is up to you (if you invest your time and money in it, it will grow ,if not , you don`t have anything to lose).
About the "better" part, i must say that i don`t think you can compare them :
i truly believe that the future of all businesses is online (if you have a "traditional" business you will need

A traditional business require large investment with over head cost,employers and long hours of work.
SFI does not require anyone to invest a large sum of money,all people can join for free, invest a small amount of money to reach to a level in which they are position to earn while they learn,and keep their position month after month.

SFI is a home base business with no overhead and thousands of products to choose from.
