Bisa mengemban tugas dengan menggeluti profesi mulia seperti seorang guru memang memberikan kebangaan tersendiri. Guru adalah sosok yang membimbing dan membagikan ilmu untuk murid-muridnya dan mengantarkan mereka menuju kesuksesan. Meskipun begitu, jasa seorang guru tidak dibalas dengan apapun. Inilah yang membuat mereka disebut Pahlawan Tanpa Tanda Jasa. Sayangnya, tantangan dirasakan bagi mereka yang menggeluti bidang ini. Kerja keras yang dilakukan masih belum diimbangi dengan tingkat kesejahteraan yang merata. Inilah yang mendorong Siti Alifa Faiz (26 tahun) agar terus berdaya mewujudkan hidup lebih baik.

Alifa was born into a simple family, where her mother and father are also teachers. Both of her parents also encouraged Alifa to follow in their footsteps as a teacher. She is also the eldest child of 6 siblings, so she had to work harder to become a good example for her younger siblings. Her daily activities before joining Shopee Affiliate include actively teaching at a kindergarten as a honorary teacher, as well as providing private tutoring for literacy lessons from home to home.

Siti Alifah Faiz, Content Creator & Shopee Affiliate, said, "When joining Shopee Affiliate, my main goal was to increase my income from my profession as a TK Honorary teacher. Alhamdulillah, my activities have become more productive and I started learning about affiliate programs to be able to earn commissions through spills or share links on my social media platforms. In just one month, my commission reached 1 million at that time, wow, I became more motivated to share product links available on Shopee," she said.

The challenges faced and difficulties in creating content strategies sometimes made her want to give up, especially since her views and followers did not increase. However, she did not want to lose hope, and she started looking for ideas, concepts, and themes that the audience liked. Finally, Alifah started creating content about her daily life as a PAUD teacher and it turned out to receive an extraordinary response, with her video going viral and appearing on the FYP (For You Page). Her social media presence also continued to grow, and she gained more followers. This encouraged her to continue innovating in creating creative content, and she started sharing tips about the world of early childhood.

The belief in Shopee Affiliate as a source of income is based on the increasing earnings, which leads her to choose to focus on being a content creator while still being a teacher. However, Alifah is always careful to see opportunities, and the numerous programs and features that Shopee offers make her curious to try, especially the Shopee Live feature. Starting to hold live streaming sessions on Shopee Live while reviewing products and selling items such as household supplies, beauty products, stationery, and educational toys for children makes her more enthusiastic.

Some achievements that he felt besides being able to buy his dream items such as a cellphone and a motorcycle in cash, having future savings, and even going on Umrah with his family in March. "Being a Shopee Affiliate makes a lot of dreams and desires come true for me. Not only the income from commissions that greatly help and change my life, but the most touching achievement is being able to register for Hajj in 2023. Masha Allah Tabarakallah, the dream that I have prayed for can be achieved," he said.

He continued, "Then I found out that Shopee Affiliate was holding a competition to Korea called Spill Bawa Berkah and I decided to join for fun. I started creating content about the 'Latest 2023 Shopee Affiliate Registration Tutorial without Minimum Followers' and Alhamdulillah, the video received a lot of views and my friends joined the program with my team code. And I never expected to win the competition! This is truly an answer to my prayers during Umrah, asking to experience going abroad for FREE in front of the Kaaba! It turns out that Shopee helped me fulfill all my wishes," added Siti.

This program provides many new experiences for Alifah, who initially was only a teacher. Not only does it offer a great opportunity to earn additional income, but it also encourages her to never stop learning and striving because the achievements she obtains must be in line with her consistency in creating creative and inspirational content. The Spill Bawa Berkah competition she participated in also provided a platform for Alifah to meet other content creators and gain a supportive circle of friendship. She was able to vacation in Korea and experience all its beauty while sharing stories and experiences with other friends.

"My hope is that Shopee will continue to prosper and can help the economy of the Indonesian people. Through the Shopee Affiliate Program, I want to continue to inspire fellow honorary teachers who are struggling financially. Hopefully, the content I create can be useful for everyone and educate that sustenance can be obtained from anywhere, even from home through the content we create."
