Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Well, I will attempt to answer your question, however don't be suprised if someone here that doesn't like SFI posts some kind of crap about them.
I am a member with SFI Marketing Group.
SFI used to stand for "Six Figure Income" but the name was changed to "Strong Future International".
SFI is a division of Carson Services, located in Lincoln Nebraska.
SFI is an "affiliate" based program, meaning that you make a comision off the sales from refering people to your "Gateway Website" given to you by the company.
They offer lots of products, and all you have to do is generate traffic to your gateway sites and wehn people buy you make commisions.
I personaly know some of the people that are in the "top 100" and have made a very good income with this company.
Take heed in that like any company you will need to work hard to establish an income with this company.
You can join for free, but you will need to generate a minimum of 10 Sales Volume Points every month to reap the best income potential with this company.
This can come from personal sales or personal purchase.
I have seen this company listed on a few "Scam" lists, however I will attest to the fact that this is a reputable company, and they do pay out on a monthly baisis for those that qualify.
I have seen many success stories out of SFI, however as I stated, you will need to work hard at it.
Over all I give SFI a strong rating and recomend it for those willing to work hard.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I would just like to second that last reply - I am an SFI affiliate - new as of this year. It is no fly-by-night outfit, it has been around for a few years and seems very well organised.
Now I'll join you in the wait for the inevitable adverse comments!
Elaine.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I am also a SFI member. I signed up July 2004, and am slowly learning and making it work. I know for a fact that it is definately not a scam. Who else has 15 year track record? Anyway I had to convince myself too before signing up, I spent about 3 weeks searching info on the net about SFI, and realised that my fear was that is this type of company a scam rather than SFI being a scam. I'm from New Zealand and I registered my own sfi domain name ADVERTISING REMOVED
Thanks

I agree, SFI Marketing is no scam. You don't even need to purchase product to become MIQ, or multi-income qualified. I qualify every month because I joined IAHBE, International Assoc. of Home Business Entrepreneurs, which has valuable benefits, and purchasing into their Eagle Ad Co-op each month, which produces sign-ups.
With a little time and effort, SFI can pay regularly, and pay well. They're a good choice, especially if you have a good sponsor.

Greetings,
Yes, I can agree, they are not a scam, and yes, you have to work your butt off to succeed, but then again, what else is new, you have to work your butt off in any business if you want to succeed. (g)
Good Luck,

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I agree that they aren't a scam.
I got turned off the group when I saw how expensive their marketing magazines were. After joining I was encouraged to join membership to a range of magazines all costing around $40 US per month. I went to my local newsagents and saw magazines that were popular among leading businessmen for a lot less. I wasn't willing to part with that kind of money to find out what they had to offer and I wasn't impressed with the free information and training so I left.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Sorry folks, SFI is a scam. First of all, SFI has not been around 15 years, Carson Services has but not SFI, SFI started somewhere around 1999-2000. Prior to that Carson Services was really just a magazine publisher and did tons of direct mail.
Gery Carson tells all of his affiliates that they must be MIQ in order to make the big money, typically, being MIQ means that people must spend approximately $30.00 a month, every month. Well knowing many people that were in SFI, I did the analysis and found that the average return over three months for people that were MIQ (or $90.00 less richer) was a mere $21. No kidding folks, MIQ works because they get people to join for free, then entice them by saying they can be come extremely wealthy by being MIQ and getting more people involved. Wrong.. why do you think Gery Carson has changed the compensation plan 4 times in the past year, with the last change just coming this past January. The only one that is really becoming wealthy off SFI is Gery Carson.. There are many other "more legitimate" biz opps out there than SFI. But if you don't believe me, ask Gery the tough questions and make him back up his answers with PROOF....

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Greetings again,
Going to have to go with the majority on SFI...They are not a scam. However, as I have mentioned before, your primary focus on any profram should be on the products, services, or information offered.
If the program offers something of value that will benefit you, then that is what your primary concern should be, making money is secondary.
Go for the steak, rather than the sizzle.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
But why would you want to pay Gery Carson $30 a month for something useless (i.e. an electronic membership to the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneur. IAHBE) just to be MIQ and get a return of just half if not less.
Gery exaggerates the truth in an extreme measure for his own personal gain. He continues to tout that they are the largest network marketing group on the Internet, with over 8 million affiliates. That's a lie, they have less than 10,000, yes 10,000 affiliates actually doing anything. The eight million are people that have just signed up at any point in time to be a FREE affiliate. Yea, most of these people, like 7.9/million aren't even SFI affiliates any more.
And now his Strong Future International campaign is yet another scam just to line Gery's pockets. You want to pay money to Gery (i.e. Strong Future International) for an awareness campaign, that no one can track? If so, let me know and I have some really nice ground in Florida I will sell you..

SFI Marketing is a legit company who's sister parent company is Carson's Services. Carson Services is registered with the Better Business Bureau in Licoln, Nebraska. SFI is also listed with Carson Services. The only problem with working for SFI Marketing group is that some people don't get paid and you can check that out at the Licoln Business Bureau on the Internet.There has been several complaints of people not receiving any money owed to them from SFI. I, myself recently made some money and have not received anything either. And I have wrote an email and haven't received a reply yet.
Be careful on who you do business with. Always check the area where they are in and to look for them on the Better Business Bureau. Obvious SFI is not a better business since they have already had 5 complaints. :mad:

Funny to mention that because I earned to $16.00 and minus 0.50 processing fee which leaves me a total earning of $15.50. And I haven't received this so called commission check in the mail from last month. I am kind of ticked and so are other who have filed complaints to the Lincoln Better Business Bureau in Nebraska. They tell people you can make millions and yet I found another site and checked to see how much they made last year and they only made $24,000. So, how is it then that they tell everyone else you can be rich. Yes, I think this is a Big scam only to make Gery Carson Rich.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
This message is in reply to the comments made by lotto magic
about ppl charging for there website.
there is a reason why ppl charges for there website.
It's not just a website, it's called eservice and it's 4 websites plus
a back office which allows you to control all aspects of your business.
you have complete access to the company and your organization.
when you become small business certified you gain a 5th website.
the websites are of the best quality and technology. it's loaded!!!
I hope you can understand why it is not free.
PS; DID YOU KNOW THAT PPL IS A 32 YR OLD N.Y.S.E COMPANY
DID YOU KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN EVERY FINANCIAL
PUBLICATION INCLUDING THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND USA TODAY.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PRAISED BY MANY MEMBERS
THE STATES ATTOURNEY GENERALS OFFICE.
NO SCAMS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
SFI changed there name and that kind of made me wonder.
I am still a member cause I use the IAHBE for my business, it actually helps me out.
They keep changing commision structure, which I lost 200 dollars per month on the 1/03 change, and then lost more on the 1/04 change. I gave up then, and just stay in to used the IAHBE website. Plus its for free cause I have enough MIQ's to pay for it for me

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Yep...most everyone's checks go down so that more of the money gets funnelled to Gery's wallet. Carsons, both Bonnie and Gery aren't who they let people believe they are. You would be wiser and wealther to pursue other business opportunities.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
SFI is....
difficult YES
hard work YES
a scam....No!!
Yes SFI is hard to become successful with. I'd be willing to say that most of the people making money with SFI aren't making more than 100 bucks per month. But there are some who are making a nice living with SFI. They are doing just fine recruiting, selling, and training others. So I can't really say it's a scam. I don't believe it is.
As for the money each month "lining" Gery's pockets....that's just plain looking at things from the wrong angle. Yes it costs money to become an Executive Affiliate (EA) if you do it by purchasing something. But you can also become EA by selling items to people who aren't part of SFI and become an EA affiliate. You don't have to buy anything. Also if you have the ability to recruit others to join SFI and can teach them how to do that same you can have your 29.95 each month taken out of your check. That's what I do. So for me it's basically free to be in SFI.
Good luck,
Johnny Mack

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Wow, it seems like this is a board divided. Lots of feeback on this question.
Here is mine:
I joined SFI way back in 1999, when they were brand new. Back then it cost $26/month to join. I got my free promotional web site, a bunch of email addresses for people who were supposedly requesting information from me for follow up (most of them were dead email addresses) and LifeForce International rammed down my throat.
I was told that joining LFI was not optional, if I wanted to earn money. At the time, LFI membership required the purchase of $160.00/mo worth of the nastiest tasting stuff to ever reach my taste buds.
After six months of collectly checks for only $8.00 from SFI, I called it quits.
I would not recommend SFI or LFI to anyone, no matter how much hard work you're willing to give it.
I work hard, and I make money, but not with SFI.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Why do you think Gery Carson keeps changing everying, commission plan, eagle coop, MIQ's to EA's, gimmicks, gimmicks, gimmicks. Because SFI isn't working.. His ship is sinking big time and he wants to con as many people out of $29.95 per month as he can before the ship officially sinks. All Gery knows how to do is write sleazie, cheap sounding marketing text that takes advantage of innocent people looking to make a buck.

You don't even need to purchase product to become MIQ, or multi-income qualified.
Classic red flag. And before arguing with me, think to yourself why that would USUALLY be a red flag (no matter how much you might personally like this "business").

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I recently joined for free, and then was told I needed to upgrade to an EA's position, or I will loose my downlines within a month. To become an EA you have to purchase one of their products, wuich aren't that great and this will cost @ $25.00. I found this site to be very confusing, I can't put HTML on my other sites to advertise..and they had me sign something saying I couldn't advertise??? As I read above, it will also cost $$ monthly???? I don't think they ever expressed this info? I'm not sure if I should continue or not now? :confused:

So it's okay to cancel your monthly $30 membership for January and then have SFI pull that $30 membership from your commission pool and continue to cancel your EA membership for the month of January. HUM!!!!!

I guess the reason you didn't succeed in Sfi is because you didn't understand how it works or put in the effort for it,
for me i have a good success with it

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I am a new member of SFI,
I had to say after I clcik all SFI website, my conclusion
SFI is not a SCAM but, you will never ever get rich with this business. EVER!
First yes all is free. But with so many free refferal we suddenly got from email, SFI forced us (with very gentle) to spend at least 30 $ permonth to qualified.
Yes we can also get that free if we sell something to others or used the NICE OFFER coupon.
Let me tell you, NICE OFFER coupon was a joke. Yes they had a website saying they had 6000 more coupon but after I do look around most of the discount were from some store or company I don't even know.
Example; I search United States for restaurant discount coupon. They must be some good restaurant to gave us dicount right? The result nothing. How come SFI big affiliate this Nice offer didnot had something good discount for us to give? Like maybe 20% amazon com coupon or itunes coupon? But some lame book that prices 660 $ (what a joke) and with their coupon we can buy the book for 60 $.
A 60$ dollar book! Even Harry Potter book are not that expensive.
2. They tell us to buy magazines to qualify for the monthly executive members. People, you just been cheat by SFI! Yes, they probably send you the magazines. But how come the subcripstion is just more expensive than any other magazine websites?
Look at Mens Fitness, SFI charge us 15 $ for one year but amazon only sold 12 $ for a year. Jet magazine , SFI charge us 36$ dollar and amazon only 26 $. ETC ETC
And when does MLM business sold other products than their own? Not to mention sold magazines???
3. You can bought or sell their product. Sorry to said their product label look cheap for a bottle 30$ vitamin.
4. You could also hire their website expertise or try their affiliate mastery for 30$ permonth. Come on a website for 360$ a year, I could get less in top website builder. And we are thier member, they should provide us free website to promote their product and not charge us.
In all, if we like to become their executive member we had to buy something. We cannot sell a product till we try them first right? We cannot sell their product in internet without using their chosen website.
So we had to spend 360$ a year first to just sold their product??? Come on! Better join other top brand MLM like Avon comestics Or Oriflame who only charge you a member fee for 2 dollar a year and 1 dollar for 5 product booklet. and you can sold those products to your friends or family or anyone.
So SFI is not a scam causr they offer you real product. But you will not get a decent income from it. better cut your losses and find another top brand MLM if you really wanted to work hard and dedicate yourselves in MLM business. Just dont waste time and ****** on SFI.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I do hope next time if people who so called "The Scam business" reviewer do a review, please check more closely and not just read some pages of the site and then write a review. Your review could make some people spend their money into something that will make them lose more money.
I read and search hours of this SFI sites and the Nice Offer site. I open all the website pages. And come to conclusion that this is not a good MLM business to be.
In my whole 30 plus years, I never heard that any MLM company give even a single refferal . Usually we had to find people to join below us. Thats the point of MLM business. A company who give you so much referall and then ask us to join executive member? HMMM.
Not to mention if SFI does have 8 million active members all over the world, you would had thought at least now they can afford to open atleast 1 branch office in Europe and one in Asia. They even only had one in the states.
I found so many good review about SFI in the search engine. Must be lazy reviewers or they are the member executive of SFI.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Hello Browneyes
No SFI is not a scam I think a lot of people who join SFI think they are gonna become rich overnight but it is a real program ran by a company with 20 years experience and in over 200 countries. I joined it many years ago and failed in it not because of SFI but because of me not doing anything. I rejoined a little over 2 months ago and am happy to say that I am making very good money. Yes you have to work and promote it and you have to invest into your own business but wouldnt you have to do the same if you had a brick and morter business.
I am proud to be a part of SFI perhaps it is not for all people but it is for people who will apply themselfs and who are not afraid to invest in the company they work for and there personal business.

Wow seems there are a lot of misleading statments about SFI. You can advertise and you can have a privite website of your choice they do recomend that you stay within some of there guidlines and that is understandable. I promote SFI and I dont work that hard but I do promote it I spend 29 dollars a month for a product I would buy anyway from some other store why not I get a commision back from buying from myself. SFI is opening up a new store very soon and adding thousands of new products and yes even alowing EA's to add there on products and items for sale on it even used items sort of like a E-Bay listing. I think this is going to be realy huge and is going to go like wild fire and we all can make commisions from it as well. SFI is like any job or business if you dont work at it if you do not promote it or invest in it then it will die. My Opinion only is the ones that say bad things about SFI must have joined and set back waiting for a free ride to become wealthy overnight with out ever paying a dime or doing nothing. Well if that was your dreams it is not going to happen not in my life time or yours. Nothing is free in this world. Visit my web site so I may prove that you do not have to have a prebuilt web site that all you have to do is adhere to some rules and regulations and not soil the fine reputation of a 20 year old company that has gained respect from millions of affilates from over 200 countries. This is my 2 cents worth good day.

Yes you have to work and promote it and you have to invest into your own business but wouldnt you have to do the same if you had a brick and morter business.
I am proud to be a part of SFI perhaps it is not for all people but it is for people who will apply themselfs and who are not afraid to invest in the company they work for and there personal business.

This is a great example of the type of people who are affiliated with SFI. I have worked very hard at signing people up as direct affiliates with SFI, but you get ZERO help from the team members who are placed above you. I attempted to contact these people, but have recieved nothing in return. SFI products are over priced, and I wish they would stop leading people on with their claim to having 8 million affiliates worldwide. Once you enter your email address into their system you become an automatic affiliate of SFI. See this is were they claim to have 8 million affiliates worldwide. If you go in and look at their pool of affiliates I bet you can remove about 7.9 million of the people they claim to be affiliates. Your name will always be listed as an affiliate, even if you use it one time.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Don't be fooled by the 20 years of experience that so many people claim this company has. I visit their message boards everyday and see more and more people who struggle with this program. SFI has only been around for 8 years. Please be aware before signing up with this program.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
If you know how to get targeted traffic to your affiliate site you can make a very nice income from SFI.
They are not a scam. You pay for a subscription to a magazine and that is also what you sell to people at your site.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I recently found a job opportunity with SFI. They said if I pay them $20 for a t-shirt, bumper sticker, and other decals for my car, they would pay me $10 an hour to advertise for them. This seems kind of sketchy to me. They say all I have to do is take a picture of my car with the decals on to start getting paid.
This seems too good to be true, which usually means it is false.
I can see this being a scam, and I am trying to research this company to find out. Everything I have seen has been very divided. Most people that work for them say "of course it's not a scam", which I would expect them to say.
Does anyone have any thoughts pertaining to this?
Please help me out here.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
The company is for real. As far as them paying you 10 bucks an hour, well, thats not true. There are no hourly wages for anything. You make commissions on personal sales and downline sales. SFI is a great learning company but will be difficult to make real money with them. Best part is that it's free to check them out and view their sites and back office. Then you can decide.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Not a scam.
It's real business based on sales.
You never have to pay them any money if you don't want to.
You can make sales to get upgraded to higher income levels or just buy something yourself.
Building your SFI is long hard work. I have over 830 SFI Affiliates in my downline and most of them are not active. Because people are always looking for the fast easy money not a long term business they build in their spare time.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
No SFI is not a scam and is one of the more well established network marketing companies....BUT it is very hard to earn income in their company unless you have a high *****ed sales personality, thats because like all network marketing companies their products and services are overpriced the compensate for the payouts to the affiliates.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Its amazing the amount of people that will visit a website like this and post what they believe to be the reason why a program is a scam.
Folks a scam is when you get cheated by outright deception. As far as I can see no one has ever been cheated out of anything as an SFI affiliate.
It just appears that the system isn't an overnight money maker so a lot of people have sour grapes about it.
Regardless of the owner's past SFI seems to have stood the test of time. Think about it 10 years is a long time for a money making system online. So there must be something to this system else it would not have been online so long.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
SFI is not a scam. I joined it in June 2003. I got payment from it since becoming active wef January 2009.
You can join free and then earn money by selling its products, or access its library of written articles on home business to sharpen your marketing skills, or sell off your used/unused items, or find out how innovative its founder, Gary Carson, is!
He keep saying the only place where you find success before work is in ... dictionary.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
A new innovation from SFI was announced yesterday. It is introducing an E-Commerce Associates (ECA) program in 4 - 6 weeks' time.
The announcement reads: "We expect the ECA program to bring literally millions of new products and services ... . These merchants will be worldwide, meaning you'll be able to patronize businesses from right within your own country, region, or even city. In some cases, you'll be even able to pick up the products from the merchants' local retail outlet, eliminating shipping fees altogether.
The new ECA program is also an immense opportunity in itself, as we will be allowing our affiliates to refer ECAs and earn lifetime royalties on ALL of their sales worldwide generated ... ".
SFI is not a scam but a promising company.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
In Recent Times Sfi Has Shown the World that They are out to serve, with the introduction of so many Programs which includes Tripleclick and the Versapoint which now makes it easy for anyone to succeed in SFI.
If You Haven't Joined Yet I guess you should do that now as many who didn't get in before are already wishing they had joined before now.
There's no Scam about it, you can walk to their office at anytime to confirm that.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
SFI has been around for more than 10 years. It has members from more than 190 countries. It also enjoys consistent high sign-up rates day after day.
Effective this week, you can see its real-time sign-up rate - instantaneously showing information of a new meber's name, country, and time of signing up, visibly.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Just had to weigh in on this one. I have been with SFI for 8 1/2 years and have been paid every single month, the amount depending on whether I have been active, but ranging from $1000 - $20 after payment of the IAHBE subscription.
Get rich? Probably not. Get ripped off? Definitely not.
If you haven't gotten paid, there is something wrong. Contact support. If you aren't getting upline support you are on the wrong team.
Emphatically not a scam.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
no SFI is one program that changed my life. It is honest and one of the best affiliate program available on internet. it is scam by no means. but earning on SFI is not as easy as other program. but it form a very solid foundation if you are looking for long term earning option.it provide with a base that no other program does. even if you failed to make an impression on SFI. you learn so many things for free.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
I've had it with all the idiots screaming everything they don't like as "SCAM."
Folks, not every business opp will make auto income for you. not every business will have the best income making formula. Not every business will be a way to your retirement.
Doe that make it a SCAM?
Get some basic education and grow up guys.
You ignorant fools calling any business out there that has lasted since the dawn of the Internet a "SCAM" takes away the credibility of this forum.
Reserve your "SCAM outbursts for a well documented fraud or motive to defraud members.
Your personal failure in a specific business does not make the business, a scam.

Re: Is SFI Marketing a scam???
Of course SFI is no scam ... it has even purged out so many inactive members last month, which are taking up bite-spaces in its servers.
Of course, there are several opinions all these inactive members would say about SFI, even crying 'wasting time' ... etc. You can read all that from the 'Real People Real Reviews' site.
But, it has never failed to roll out a major innovation each year since end 2008.
Just sign-up with SFI, learn as much as you can with its programs, and by the second month, it will kick you out if you're not making a mark with it/living up to its standards.
This is how serious it has become lately - it doesn't want insufficient activity from among its affiliates!
Bye.
