Your own website or blog is best long term.
With your own self hosted blog on a domain name you own you can educate people looking at SFI about the program and even start their training before they join. This is called pre-selling and it increases the join rate and more than triples the chances your referrals will do well in SFI.
You can build an e-mail list. This is a great chance to give a free gift and build trust in you and SFI. Instead of readers visiting your site once the newsletter will bring them back every time you add new content. If you choose a blog or blog based website most autoresponders have rss to e-mail as an option so all you have to do is add a post to your blog and it will e-mail all your contacts, making this a set and forget tool. You can even use it to deliver a free report or e-mail series to walk the reader through their first 30 days in SFI.
Building links and getting ranked in search engines.
The biggest benefit is that if your blog is a source of great articles and media like videos and images it will soon get ranked by search engines and other blogs and websites will site it as a source and people will click your social sharing buttons building hundred or thousands of links.
Every link is a new way into you blog from another site that recommends your site as an authority in it's niche. Every article you write is like adding a door on a business road that drives traffic into your shop. You can have unlimited doors.
When these doors reach pages 1 or 2 on Google for popular search terms you will see limitless targeted traffic.
No affiliate gateway gives you any of those benefits. JMT is a great place to follow up once the conversation is started in your blog or through your e-mail list but stand alone it is one page that won't get indexed, won't benefit from search engines, and you have no way to connect with the viewers who don't go ahead and sign up.
