Hello Mamunur,

This is a question I would like to try to answer if I can?

Well the way I would compare the two businesses is this!
If you were to open say a shop on a high street, you would have things like, rent stock purchase and holding of stock in the shop, wages to pay someone to run the shop, electric bill, water bill, rates (council business Tax), general running costs, that are involved even before you sell anything from your shop!
It could cost you a fortune?
£20,000 to £50,000 possibly more depending on what kind of shop you wanted to open!


On the other hand SFI is FREE to Join, Small investment of under $20 from the second month, show other people how to do the same as you do you will soon have a Business that is in profit as more people Join as Affiliates, the more Business people you will have to make more profit, to promote your products that you can sell, you don't need to set up a shop, you already have a Virtual shop with SFI & TripleClicks.

This really is easy to see that SFI & TripleClicks Wins hands down!
There is no Contest!

See You All at the Top Soon!
Good Luck

Hi

I'm sure you joined SFI out of curiosity, just like me and most of the other affiliates.

If you ask me which is better, I would say 'SFI' without any second thought.

Now let me give you few (major) reasons why SFI is better than the traditional business.

1-1) SFI is very easy to understand. A person with basic knowledge about working on internet can do this business. Also you get an experienced upline(s) to guide and mentor. Also you can easily learn about A TO Z about SFI business through training available on SFI Affiliate center.

1-2) In traditional business, you need to study the market first, learn the price trend of the product/services you deal with. Also need to find out information about your competitors.

2-1) SFI business is free to start, less overheads, no office setup required (work from home), no registration charges, no license formality, etc.

2-2) Traditional business needs to go through many formalities, apply for license, registration cost, lot of overheads, capital investment, need office setup, recruit skilled/unskilled employees, and the list goes on.

3-1) With SFI there are more than 98000 products (and counting) are listed on which you can make income. Multiple streams/sources of income available. Earn lifetime with residual income.
3-2) In traditional business, there is limitation on number of products you can deal with in the market. In some cases, you even need a warehouse or storage place for your stock/inventory. Again it adds to your cost.

4-1) In SFI there is no risk (or minimal risk) involved. Most of the business transactions are taken care by SFI support team.
4-2) In case of traditional business the risk involved is very high.

5-1) SFI business is very mobile. You just need an Internet connection and your cell phone. You can do your business anywhere and with anyone on this planet earth in your flexible time. You can spend quality time with your family and friends.
5-2) In case of traditional business, you cannot move your office set-up wherever you go. Eventhough you can open your franchise in different places, but again you need to invest more capital for the same. Can't spend much time with your family.

These are very few important differences between the two businesses.

SFI rocks!!!

Cheers!

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.

Please allow me to rephrase your question;
"What's is the difference of having a business with SFI and TripleClicks and having a traditional business, which is better?"

I start by doing this, because is a great difference between being an affiliate and having a business with SFI. That said, please let me issue my opinion

A traditional business with require large amount of money for investments, SFI will require minimal amount of money for investment

Traditional business will require working at least eight hour a day, with a SFI biz you may work much less, probably just a couple hours top every day.

You have to pay large sums of money for a store front, and in most cases for urban working permits, municipal taxes, and other operational bureaucracy forms, and of course your income taxes, With a SFI business you should only declare your income for tax purposes.

and I could keep pointing out differences, but to me the most important is with a traditional store you have to open every morning and close your store at the end of the business day, with SFI and TripleClicks your storefront is open 24 hours a day, 365 days every year.

Now, which one is better is hard to tell, because this will depend on what you really want to do and how comfortable you feel doing it. The best business is that one you do with passion and love, and not just for the money or because you simply must do it.

Have a great business, and a better day.

See you at the top!

In a traditional business, there's always overhead. You have to buy something, even if it's just a bar of soap for a dog washing business, or lemons for a lemonade stand. And in most cases there's a lot of really big expense before you even break even. And that's not even counting your time, which is usually at least 8 hours a day, but usually more.

But with SFI, you have no upfront cost unless you want it. You can spend your time and make an income, and usually can do it part time. Both are better than a job, but if you're like me and disabled and can't work, SFI is even better than a job. I can still work from home and still get paid right along with my disability and unless I make way more than I'm making, I don't even have to pay taxes.

Another awesome thing for most people in the US, is that we can claim part of our home as our office and write off our computer, our internet, and office supplies and even our gas if we go to the store, even the grocery store if we buy office supplies there.

So you tell me which is better? I think SFI wins every single time.

I have both a traditional business and of course SFI so let me tell you my findings.

Firstly, SUPPORT!
In my own business I am very aware that I am on my own and any problems I have can be difficult and time-consuming (therefore expensive)to find answers for. With SFI, not only do I have a wealth of information here that I can look through, I also have AskSC and ALL the affiliates to help me. That in itself is a huge help and very reassuring.

Secondly, INVESTMENT!
To set up my business I had to consider, and pay for, the following: Several phone lines (hardware and contracts for each), several desktop units (software and hardware), printer/copier/scanners, furniture desks/chairs/plants etc, stationery and consumables, cost of premises and all utility bills as well as consultation fees for my accountant and business registration costs. Now I managed to do this fairly inexpensively and it cost me around £6,500 ($9,400). That's a SET-UP cost, obviously I have ongoing costs.

To set up my SFI business it cost me (frantically calculates...) NOTHING! I have now set up a Standing Order which costs me $36 a month.

Most importantly, the potential in my SFI business is the same as in my own business.

There are many more differences to be found, however the above are the main ones for me (and for most people I would guess)

I will answer the last part of your question first. Which is the better business?
Well the only person who can answer that is you. That comes down to what you want out of a business. If for example you wanted unlimited income then a traditional bricks and mortar business would probably not be the way to go. You may have more opportunity to achieve that as an SFI Affiliate.
But both business models require the same principles to achieve success. Both types of business require dedication, self-motivation and discipline to get the job done.
But i believe any online business (including SFI) requires much more discipline and self-motivation than a traditional business. My reason for saying that in a traditional business you trade time for money whereas in an online business like SFI you build the business in your spare time for little or no immediate reward, with the money coming much later. You need discipline to be at your computer to build your online business while seeing little or no results. You need discipline to keep building your business when you encounter roadblocks and you wonder why you are doing it.
With an online business such as SFI you are only accountable to yourself. You start and finish when you like whereas with a traditional business it usually has a start and finish time and you have to be present during those times or else you do not make money.
Your SFI business can be run from anywhere in the world so long as you have an internet connection and a laptop. It can be run at any time of the day or night. And once you have an active team it never stops working for you ever.
The main difference between an online and traditional business is that a traditional business usually requires premises to trade from, usually require much more capital to get started and you have to carry inventory so you can trade. Plus you have the costs associated with having premises and stock.
In contrast SFI is free to join, training is free and the capital required is minimal to run your business.
But both are legitimate business models and should be treated as such. This is where I feel a lot if SFI Affiliates don’t do as well as they could is because it is not treated as a business but more as a hobby.

I hope that helps.

Which is better depends on your motivation for setting up a new business. Your answer to why you want the business and how it will fit into the rest of your plans will let you know which is better. Study the differences and see which will be best for you. Here are some comparisons.

Investment Risk:
Traditional businesses require a lot of upfront investment in time, money and energy.
There are taxes, fees, and other start up expenses that can eat up a lot of money, time and energy. There is no pay for learning time and money.

SFI's only investment at first is time mostly spent on learning. In SFI you earn while you learn. Second month and beyond, you have to invest some money to maintain EA, as little as $29.00. You don't even have to invest that if you keep doing the dailies and build up your downline. The reward for doing these can make your monthly costs rather quickly.

Convenience:
Traditional business requires that you leave your home, and open a business every day. Miss one day and your business suffers greatly.

SFI members work from wherever they happen to be as long as they have the equipment with them.

Equipment:
Traditional businesses require a place for the business equipped with the tools you need to run the business.

SFI requires an internet connection and computer, laptop, or some other way to access the program.

Training:
Traditional businesses require extensive training in many areas such as accounting, advertising, hiring employees, and education in how to do whatever you set the business up to accomplishment

SFI trains you in any area of internet marketing where you want to be involved. You have to develop a downline, but the training, inspiration, and every tool you need is easily found in SFI's library of information.

Employees:
Traditional businesses depend on having great employees, and finding great ones to hire can be both expensive and time consuming.Many employees don't reach the potential they appeared to have when hired and have to be trained, coddled or fired. All of this can be very expensive in both salaries and government fees.

SFI depends on your downline. Even though 90% of them don't do the job required you don't have near the expense, time, effort or personal investment in maintaining them. Building a list can be done for free if you are short of money.

Therefore, after studying all of the risks and advantages of both, which is better still comes down to passion, need and ability. You can use SFI to build up your ability and income for a traditional business if that is your passion.

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!!!
