To succeed in SFI you can do it with or without making monetary investments. Obviously when you spend money, you will make money faster. Here is where i invested and suggest you do the same.

1. Set up your standing order. This is important to make sure you are qualifying with enough VP's monthly.
2. This one can be free or you can pay, you get more features when you pay, but set up a blog or website. This is a great way to reach more people and talk about the advantages of having

That depends on how successful you want to be. Can you make SFI your sole income? Absolutely! It will take full time 40 hours a week to do so probably. What I did personally, and what I tell my affiliates is to start with 5-10 hours a week. See what kind of results you are getting. Then take it from there. you can increase or decrease your time according to you results and the results you are aiming for.

Good luck

In my opinion, its not how much advertising does or does not cost which makes it good. Its whether or not its hitting enough people and are they targeted for interests such as SFI, or building your own business. Before I pay for advertising, i always ask teh vendor beforehand who is getting my ads. You want to get a list of about 5-6 questions focusing on if they are targeting your demographic or not. Sometimes the free sites do this for you.

The signs I have noticed so far that indicates an affiliate would be a "good" one is the following:

- Did they contact you (their sponsor), or did they reply to your initial contact
- Are they going through the trainings and collecting VP's
- Are the logging on frequently
- And finally of course the infamous standing order is always a good sign

How can you advise and help new PSAs when you are new to SFI and just getting started yourself?

In my opinion, this is the best time for you to help your PSA's. My recommendation is to take the time and go through ALL of the training's. As you are coming across new tips and tricks and great ideas...share them with your PSA's. This is especially helpfull if you get a sense that your PSA is not as motivated as you are.

This is always a sticky situation so the best piece of advice i can give from my experience is to literally sit them down in front of the computer and show them what SFI and Tripleclicks is all about.

Here is what i do/show them:-

1. I emphasize its FREE to join and that you don't need to pay anything to be successful. If you do spend money you will be successful a lot quicker but its not necessary.

2. I then show them all the training resources SFI has to offer
