The term 'better' in this case has no universal answer, because it will, eventually, depend on the each individual to choose what works for them.

The major differences, though, are many.

Among others:

*Initial capital: Whereas a traditional business needs very careful planning, considering a foresight into the future, and funds (a lot, in most cases), for SFI, you can just launch in. You don't need to have any money while starting up, and you don't need to keep money aside for the future.

*Dedicated Time: One cannot run a business without dedicating a lot of time to it. Some businesses barely give time for a quick nap. In SFI, you can choose what time of the day that is convenient for you, and the amount of time you want to spend on it.

*Mobility Constraints: While for most traditional business, you have to be physically on location, or always on-the-move, you can do most everything in SFI while seated in front of a PC, laptop or with a smartphone. This is, also, very convenient for people with disabilities.

The list goes on. Bottom-line, the key difference can be summed up thus: Convenience.

I assume, by support, you mean financial support.

Much as you might feel the need to help everyone you can, financially, which is a really nice thing to do, business-wise, it will be a mistake.

You have to make sure the affiliate will not abuse this opportunity, and will utilize it well, albeit showing gratitude.

In that vein, lend more hand to them via giving them directions on how to make a headway in SFI, citing your own experiences as examples. I believe that's a more hands-on support approach. Any realistic person will appreciate that.

In time, you will make enough here to reward your committed affiliates.

Good luck, and well done.

This is a very dicey situation, and also the bane of marketing.

My opinion is that you don't try to convince them.

There are methods every affiliate on SFI can adopt in order to reach their goals, which might not even require having a standing order at all. Teach them all the options you can, and let them decide, for themselves, what's best for them.

If you try too hard, you might make them feel you're only doing it to serve your own purposes, and they might become defensive.

One of the leading factors that can influence this, is the rate at which any affiliate duplicates himself.

SFI is majorly a multitude venture. Which means that the more (dedicated) people you have on your team, the faster you're likely to achieve success.

To elucidate, I'd like to categorize SFI affiliates into 3 parts:

* Those that already have pre-knowledge of internet-marketing before joining
* Those that don't, but grasp the essentials rapidly
* Those that take a much longer time to understand what it is all about.

When some join SFI, they set out with full determination; recruiting people to join their team (affiliates), people to shop at TripleClicks, people to bid at Pricebenders auctions, people that can build online stores (ECAs) etc. The more people he/she eventually attracts will ensure that commissions start pouring-in, because VP is bound to increase rapidly.

On the other hand, some only succeed in recruiting a few people, while some don't succeed in getting anyone to join either SFI or TripleClicks.

Now, people who have pre-knowledge are most likely to launch into this mass recruitment mode, and are very likely to succeed in shorter periods. The same applies to people who quickly understand SFI, and start taking steps. Unfortunately, some people ether never get to understand what it takes, or just limit themselves to the basics (tab reviews). These people are likely never to reap the full benefits of SFI.

As a personal motto in SFI, always remember 'There is power in numbers'. For me, 'THE MORE, THE (FINANCIALLY) MERRIER.
