Should I stick strictly to using SFI's system or would it benefit me to add some of my own touches and strategies?

You should use SFI's system - that is a good start. But you must understand and consider cultural, demographic, economic, educational...and individual differences between people. We work with people, not with numbers!

In other words - use SFI's system as a basis, you will need to adjust to some special circumstances.

And everyone should develop their own style eventually. Start with basic rules, consider every idea, and make your own way by experience.

Good luck!

The SFI system is well and truly tested.
It has been around online for almost 17 years.
It is well laid out and many people have attested to its awesomeness not just by what they say but as evidenced by their financial successes.

Having said all that, this is your business and you run it as you would run any other business. Your own personal touches and strategies are all OK. The only stipulations are that you stay within the Affiliates Contract conditions including its amendments.

SFI itself is a powerful resources, to learn, to apply or to share.

My suggestion is,
after few follow ups and understanding the system, once practically undergo it daily, some confidence will be build.

By then, you may need to want to apply other styles or pattern, techniques and strategies. And that is what it is all about..

SFI provides direct hand training for any newbies or any affiliates to gain insights. But once we're in the real Internet market,

I would say that in the using of SFI's system there are a number of ways to sort of personalize your message, most notably in blogs and advertising.

It is recommended, initially at least, to use SFI's ads as written. The more comfortable and confident you become, the better you might be able to "tweak and tune" the verbiage to more suit yourself, and your own style.

For the most part, though, I would recommend to remember "if it is not broken, do not try to fix

SFI offers alot of resources. However,SFI does not restrict
your ingenuity; it does not put you in a strait jacket.
Rather SFI enables you to do your best- as you determine,
and then goes further to create venues like Forum ,ASK SC,
and the all new Suggestion box to receive your views and to
teach others.
The only caveat is that whatever you do must comply with the Rules.

You can use any of SFI written material, but if you want to use your own,
it must be approved.

If you write a blog or open a website, it needs approved.
We can look through the banners,suggested ads, any written
material and use any of it.

The reason it needs approved is we cannot have written materal
that does not apply to SFI"s rules and our contract.

Now I did a similar blog to the JMT but left part of it out.

Hello Kamrul Amin,

Of course you can add your own touches and strategy.
The SFI system works well. But we are 2 millions to use it this can be problematic.
For example, some social networks treat any post containing the SFI logo as spam.

In addition and above all, if everyone is limited to only use the SFI system everyone will have the same result.
Then don't limit your self. At it's said, only the sky is your limit.

Use the SFI system as a starting

Absolutely add your own strategies.

SFI presents a great blueprint on how to succeed. There are many tools and resources at your disposal (including our community of SFI affiliates). That said, you are the business owner. You decide how to promote your business, manage your team, how much time and money you invest. I would just ensure that your strategies do not conflict with SFI's rules and affiliate agreement. Otherwise, go for it!

Sfi gives all his associates same chance. We all have the opportunity to succeed and increase our earnings. SFI provides us free training in marketing, SFI explains the essence of the work and suggests ways in which we can succeed.

But, we come from different country, even different continents. We have different background. We most often in contact with his countrymen. Something that is in one country usually a sign of good manners, that can be rude and even insulting in another country.
