Things Former SFI Members Should Know About Wealthy Affiliate
Hey folks,
I just found out that SFI is moving their team tier by tier into Wealthy Affiliate as a safe and successful landing place. There are a few things WA and SFI differ greatly in that may or may not have been covered by Gery yet, that I thought you might need to know.
First off many of you will know me, Andy Anderson from my nearly 14 years in the SFI Platform. I was there before SFI shifted to paid membership and over my time welcomed around 1500 of you into their system.
One thing you will miss is the multi-tiered MLM nature of the compensation plan. WA pays a single-tier commission to members on the sales they generate of our premium-level memberships. Full details of the comp plan including a calculator of potential earnings are included under the $ in the top menu.
Wealthy Affiliate is a program guide to building a website and learning to market products and build content for affiliate marketing and unlike SFI training it teaches you not just how to promote the program but any program or product online. We do this through AI-Powered Niche Marketing and the heavy use of WordPress Blogs.
In addition to the training, which includes SEO or Search Engine Optimization and SEM or Search Engine Marketing (ads), we also get training in all aspects of social media. This especially goes for those who reach out to grab a Premium Plus membership, where we have thousands of hours of additional training and LIVE Content.
Success here is simple:
- Learn something new at least one thing a day.
- Apply what you learn immediately.
- Teach others... The live chat is filled with members helping members be a part of it and strive to give what you take.
- Keep at it, success is earned not given so it takes practice and fine-tuning of the skills and time to gain traction with your content. Give us a year and we will show you tremendous improvement.
SFI was a great place to cut your teeth. This system is a seven-figure money-maker's blueprint with power tools at the click of a few links in your hubs. If you need help, reach out, but be assured that when you upgrade here, a massive world will open for you. No longer are you stuck in traffic exchanges and safelists, or in a world of get-rich-quick dreams, and trying to find serious people amid the masses.
Now you can choose any hobby, interest, experience, or dream and learn to monetize it. For ideas, I will offer up my 3 niche websites as examples.
- Income Legion - This is a blog about niche marketing and making money as an affiliate. It's what I know from experience in the past 20 years online.
- Grand Slam City is my Passion Blog. I love sports and have always wanted a Man Cave of my own, so that is the niche of my blog: building perfect Sports Man Caves.
- Paid Healthy - A blog about making money in the health and wellness niches that is one part of my journey back to health and another heaping of opportunity.
We have people in cars, sports cars, stock car racing, baseball, basketball, MMA, Fitness, Finance, Forex, MLM, MMO, Holiday gifts, electronics buying guides, consumer reports, and just about every topic under the sun. You can profit from any desire you have so think fun.

Not a problem, Gery's post to you members was shared here and I saw it left a lot of details out and figured we need a thread here to alleviate confusion. If you have any questions about Wealthy Affiliate be sure to ask.
Tks for the explanation, as a former member who been with SFI since the beginning, I had a feeling this day would come. No consistency, every time someone would start doing good, they would change the commission system. Anyway, I am still debating on whether to go full force again, got 2 days to decide to do the BF deal..
If it helps I have been a premium member for over a decade here and am now Premium Plus. I have seen hundreds of success stories built here and the whole community chips in on chat to build a village around each affiliate. I left SFI a few years ago because of what you observed and Wealthy Affiliate is a great home that is tried and true.
Long time no see indeed, I help others here when I can and have a habit of posting helpful blogs still. If you need advice reach out.
Hope all goes well with SFI landing here, Andy.
I always welcome everyone with a smile to Wealthy Affiliate.
Thank you for sharing. So, when I see certain moves it won't be strange.

Thank you Andre, I know the letter I saw from Gery Carson was lacking in a ton of the what to expect category and wanted to make sure his family lands well here.
At least we know they will be given the support and help here in the right way.
The letter didn't explain it well and to me was misleading
To me, the main thing is he could have explained the fact we are single-tiered and only their first tier will join them here through the provided links. The rest is a soft landing once they log in if they hit the training before the affiliate links.

Good morning Andy,
Thank you for your blog post, it's appreciated.
I believe I heard you mention SFI in another blog post or comment and I wondered what it was. I must admit I have never heard of SFI! I just had a quick look to find out more. I'm just surprised that I have never come across it, as I started researching Internet marketing back in 2004.
Have a great day.
Roy
You may have seen some of their properties like Rewardicals Point Rewards or their auction site TripleClicks.
Amazing, Andy, I haven't! Having said that, the World Wide Web is huge!
I have noticed a lot of new names in the live chat, but also appreciate that the Black Friday offer has been on for a week, which makes a difference.
Have a great weekend.
Roy
