I really like the digital gift cards because now it gives me the opportunity to share these with people who are not in my immediate circle. Because SFI is an online business, it only makes sense that many of the people that I meet will be online. Now, with this, I can offer people a $12 discount ONLINE without ever seeing them.
It now gives me the ability to have my business expanded by many times, since I am given the ability to reach out to my online community.
When someone asks you why they should join SFI, what do you say?

I NEVER tell people why THEY should join; I can only tell you why I joined. Here's my story...
I am a young businessman. I have created successful business ventures in the past and helped many people become successful in the process. I have had at least 20 people reach 6-figures, as a direct result of my leadership in their lives. It took many years of hard work to even achieve that feat. Many sleepless nights, many nights praying that everything stayed in tact. Many days my family has had to "buckle down" because they knew that we were going to go thru our "dry season" in order to hit the "harvest season." My point is, we WORKED for it - very hard, but we did achieve it.
Now, I am at SFI and been here for a few years. We have helped hundreds of people achieve levels of success that they are pleased with. We have been able to make a global impact with our efforts. Now, I am able to actually go to sleep at night and enjoy vacations with my wife/kids, because SFI is making all of that possible.
I can't tell you why YOU should join SFI, but judging by my experiences, I'm not LEAVING SFI any time soon. This networking allows me to be able to keep the living I'm accustomed to AND enjoy constant breaks - I love it!!!

What's the difference between being an SFI affiliate and having a traditional business, and which is better?

Before coming to SFI, I had a "traditional business." In a traditional business, there is overhead, there are employees, there are time cards, social security taxes, health-care, Human Resources, disability, commercial insurance... shall I continue?
The point I am making is that there are MANY things that a traditional business has that SFI gives the leeway to operate in an even greater capacity without having to be bothered with.
I personally prefer SFI's model because, unlike my traditional businesses, I now have an international market, as opposed to simply my local share. I can market to the "buyers" around the world with my products; not only that, I can have "employees" market my product as well. The good thing about my "employees" is that I don't have to pay them. They are selling my products and SFI pays them - that, to me, is the best thing.
SFI provides an opportunity for ANYONE who desires it, to make a living through the international market - that means we are consistently selling... 24 hrs a day. I LOVE IT!!!

What is the best strategy for earning quickly with SFI?

I understand your question about earning quickly, but I believe, as a long-time businessman, it is more important to ensure "constant" earnings. Quick money and consistent money are two totally different things - you don't want quick money, you want consistent money.
Consistent money comes by having a plan and sticking to it. SFI supplies some examples of plans, but only you know YOUR plan and YOUR strategy. Consistent growth/increase is when you have a team that can continue to earn you money even when you are NOT working. Set up a system and a realistic time-limit for your goals... AND STICK TO THEM!!!!!
Quick money leaves quickly, consistent money is here forever...

One of the things that I have noticed about my ECA's when they join is that they always want to instantly start making money. They start off trying to put EVERYTHING in their store on their website and basically overload the Market with their stuff.
My suggestion would be to start off by studying what types of things sell most on TC. Once you have gotten a chance to see the "hot" items, start your ECA business to sell some of these "hot" items.
How will anyone find my SFI website when they search on Google?

One of the biggest misconceptions with web creation is the idea that "if I build it, they will come." The truth is that there are millions/billions of websites on the Internet and there is a GREAT chance that your website will get caught somewhere in the wind on the 'net.
What I did was get some books on SEO Marketing. Since I can't afford to hire an SEO agent (Search engine optimization), I figured that I might as well learn to do it myself. I learned how to use keywords and meta tags properly. I learned some of the special words to put into my ads. I also learned the "hot" words that people are currently searching.
The truth is, unless you have a ton of money that you are able to drop for Marketing, you need to be very intentional and VERY smart.

How can we get across to our affiliates that investing minor (at least) amounts of money into SFI is smart?

I usually "flat out" let my PSA's know that I believe 100% in SFI and have been quite successful in this business. I let them know that it is just like ANY OTHER BUSINESS! In any business that is worth having, you will NOT be able to just cruise along without any type of financial obligations.
I remind them that to open a McDonald's store, you must pay $250,000 just to come into the franchise (and you haven't even gotten a store yet). To open a local business, you need to buy/rent a building which could easily run between $2,000 - $10,000 monthly - and that's just for the rent/mortgage.
I let them know that with SFI there is NO overhead, NO franchise fee, NO rent/mortgage, NO inventory, NO accountants & attorneys necessary, NONE of that stuff... but you still need to be financially responsible. For less than $100/monthly, you can be in business AND do very well for yourself. I also let them know that if they let me teach them, within 6 months, they will begin seeing a nice return on their investment too.

This is probably the easiest question I have had to answer. The best way... What I mean is that the ONLY way for you to develop a trust relationship with your affiliates is to simply be honest and make them better. People trust people who are honest, work with integrity, and are genuinely working for the best interest of those around them.
When people see that you truly want them to succeed, they are more willing to invest more into your ideologies. Folk will trust you more when you show that you want the best for them. In my opinion, SFI gives you the opportunity to do this frequently - through your mailers, your gift-giving, and your incentives and rewards.
Give your affiliates often and they are sure to develop a trusting bond with you.

The way that I have explained it is quite similar to the way that SFI explains it, except I try to give them something personal to add to it. I let them know that I have personally seen how their store is progressing and let them know that I am excited to be able to assist their store. I let them know that I want NOTHING in return for their business, just that they could help me by becoming a member of this program because I already do business with the program AND I already do business with the merchant, so they could really help me out.
Then I go on to let them know that if they become part of this organization, not only do they owe me nothing, but they also are able to join - FREE OF CHARGE! If they join, I promise them that they I will personally promote their business to ALL of my associates and will do my personal best to ensure that they are receiving some business from my associates around the world - FREE OF CHARGE! They usually love that part and bam... I am about to sign up a new ECA.

I have realized that all businesses can actually work on the ECA program, but the best companies are those that have the capability to ship products at low to no cost. Because SFI is an international organization, our clients in multiple parts of the world need to know that the shipping of their items won't exceed the actual cost of the item.
I usually look for ECA's that have digital items, electronics, or items that are easily sold at small prices with even smaller shipping costs. The more expensive their products and the more expensive the shipping, the less attractive it is to the buyer.
