Getting active sign ups and sales boils down to luck and simply having your ad be in the right place at the right time. In all honesty, thus far I have not noticed any difference between using free advertising and paid website traffic in terms of generating active referrals.

I don't take that to mean that paid advertising is ineffective, however. I take that to mean that I have not been advertising in the right places and at the right time. It is important to choose paid advertising methods that are not already inundated with SFI ads. That is where being in the right place at the right time comes in. Before purchasing website traffic, check it out to see how many competing ads are already running. Then, if there are not many SFI ads, go for it!

I am currently experimenting with purchasing website traffic on Clixsense. Most of my advertising thus far has been on free traffic exchanges, and frankly they do not generate much at all in the way of active referrals. Most of the people on them are just trying to get their ads seen and there do not seem to be many who are actively seeking an online business of their own.

With paid advertising the chances are probably much better at finding a genuinely interested person, but I would research first and start slow so that a lot of money is not wasted on ineffective paid website traffic. I wish you much luck and success!

My "big picture" with SFI is turning it into a successful home business so I can leave my day job and focus on enjoying my retirement. In order to do that, I have set some goals for myself that I work on every day.

First, I always log in every day and earn every possible VP. I have not missed a day since I started with SFI over a year ago and I am pretty proud of that. I have made logging into SFI every morning a habit, and once it becomes routine it is easy to maintain.

Secondly, I maintain a standing order for 1500 VP. This costs $36.50 a month and it is something I make sure to budget for. My goal is to maintain Bronze Team Leader status every month and I have been able to do that for a few months now.

Third, I monitor and vary my advertising. I help mitigate my investment cost into SFI by advertising at free traffic exchanges that also pay me for surfing. This takes less money out of my pocket every month and keeps me motivated in my advertising efforts.

Finally, and very important, I work to mentor my PSA's and CSA's. I never give up on any of them, even if they are inactive. Sometimes it takes a while for the time to be right for someone to start up a home business. SFI takes work and effort, but I think it is well worth it and I am convinced this will be my way out of the day work world and into a successful retirement business.

Wishing you much luck and success!

I think there is a lot of value in going for Team Leader no matter how many affiliates you have signed up and active under you. Many people might be more willing to sign up under a Team Leader to begin with, as the Team Leader status provides more confidence in the person signing up. Also, there are so many more benefits when one is a Team Leader, such as the Second Home CSA's that are awarded each month. I don't think it is wise to spend a ton of money each month just to make Team Leader, but if you have even one active PSA under you it is a reachable goal. Good luck in your endeavors!
