Hi Jose, thanks for this challenging question....
Since SFI is mainly a Web based business, access to the internet is crucial. Fortunately, these days the majority of people who own cellphones, have Smartphones - which offer Internet access. Mobile access to the Internet and conducting business in that manner is increasingly popular because of versatility. I would also suggest an Internet Cafe, it offers affordable entry to the Internet and also the chance to do some marketing at the same time

hi Bamidele

I would say it is similar to a monthly salary. You work during the month by doing various tasks on the site; visiting your homepage, complete the daily "to do list", playing the games, visiting the TripleClicks store and so forth. You get rewarded in Versa Points and at the end of the month the process starts again.

Hope this solves your problem, happy days

Should I or shouldn't I try to recruit people to become SFI affiliates when they are not English speakers/readers?

Hi Vehbi - this is a very important and valid question

Personally, this is one of the main and unique elements in the SFI business - truly diversified and INTERNATIONAL. So, I would say YES, absolutely. The majority of my own affiliates and friends do not have English as a first language, I am an example of that :) - the built in SFI translator can be found at the bottom right hand side of every page and it is very powerful and effective. It also offers the opportunity to analyze various

hi Ash - a very good and valid question....

I would say locally and Internationally.

These days with the Internet easy accessible to everybody, one tends to forget you live in a active community. Your first customer might be your next door neighbor or just close friend / family member. It is also easier to spread news locally, through Local Newspaper, for instance, or local Radio Station?? Even community events (sports & leisure) are good exposure opportunities...

hi Ibrahim - yes, very interesting and valid question.

The answer, I would say, is to ask yourself a couple of serious questions....
1) How much TIME am I prepared to afford this business?
2) Will I be able to "come to work" every single day?
3) Am I HUNGRY for success?
4) Will I take it SERIOUSLY or is it just a past time?
5) Will I be able to COMMIT 100%?

These are the basics. The rest will follow. Success in any business depends, unfortunately,

hi Kolawole - yes, very interesting and valid question.

Personally, I believe you must be DRIVEN to succeed, in ANY business. You must have basic computer skills and access to a computer, smartphone, tablet, etc. with internet access as well.

The SFI site offers VAST knowledge sharing and ample tutorials on any aspect of this business. The newcomer should familiarize themselves intensively with the site and initially spend lots of time on the site to explore all aspects.

hi Deniece

Your question should provide some interesting feedback from the SFI community

Personally I would say I love the following about SFI ;

1. It is a well established business with ample reference
2. It is an unique Internet based company that allows ANYBODY to own his/her own business
3. The guidance and work ethics are well defined and accessible to all
4. The company operates GLOBALLY which offers unique opportunity
5. No experience is

hi Rosafilipina - very valid question.

In my opinion, you should "come to work" every single day. Be serious about your business, FOCUS on it, explore the site and TripleClicks, also each and every day. If you work hard, success and money and all the rest will follow, it is a LAW. There are many ways, a standing order is to my knowledge the best guarantee.

Dedication and duplication - install that in your downline and they will repeat it.

Hope this helps

hi Ana - very interesting question we should all consider.

Personally, I would suggest that you emphasize the following;

1. SFI is a well established, legitimate Internet business
2. It involves absolutely NO risk and very little financial investment
3. They will be able to do it part time
4. It is FUN - for example all the Eager Zebra games
5. Lots of opportunity to socialize on International scale
6. Ability to sell unwanted goods to generate income

hi Geoffrey - very valid question, the short answer is under the "Reference" tab as "Compare SFI", it is in a pdf format that can be saved / printed for later use.

1. Can participate free for as long as you want, with no obligation
2. Your own personalized Website provided free (with free maintenance)
3. Personal mentors provided for free personal support & assistance
4. Company handles all orders –payment,
