Good Question.

I would say all affiliates (not only new affiliates) must basically invest Time and Money to succeed in SFI. If one does not have the money, then he/she must commit a lot of time in reading and understanding the already available information on how to succeed in SFI.
Like in any Business one need to commit Time, Energy, Commitment, Sacrifice and Discipline to succeed in SFI.
Some people say they don't have time but if you do manage your time well, you will always

Hmm...this is a good question.

1. The first investment should be TIME. SFI is not get-rich-over-night program, so here affiliates have to invest lot of time and work to succssed.

2. The second is 100TCredits which brings you 1200VP and you can bid on auctions with them too, or IAHBE who give you 1500VP. That can help you to gain EA status easy.

3. The third is S-Builder as much as you can. If you are bad at advertising or you dont have time S-Builder will bring you

Reall good first-time-here question.

For me,best investment is S-Builder.It helps you get those needed affiliates that boost your income.But beware,you must first excercise your sponsoring skills,to keep your affiliates working,PSAs or CSAs.

Another great investment are TCredits.With them,you can buy stuff at TripleClick and,also,paricipate in auctions and win valuable stuff for a low cost.Stuff like Gift Cards,IAHBE membership,months of active S-Builder etc.

Consider SFI as your business. If you had a franchise, brick and mortar business, or even any online business, you would probably need a major investment in inventory, advertising and possible payroll. Since SFI provides most of the framework to have an online business you must be willing to invest time and hopefully some money to grow your business.

Time
Logging in each day, going through the basics, reading and educating yourself is a must. Any business requires knowledgeable workers.

A new affiliate most of the time would not like to hear of investing. He/ she might get it wrongly and think it is all about money. All in all I think investing in SFI does not really mean bringing in any cash.

The most important investment is always your time. Try to program yourself search that you get into SFI daily and perform the daily tasks. It will take some few seconds so make sure it does not affect your life/job. You could spare your break time for this.

I have no doubt that this could be THE most asked question from anyone starting up their own business, however the answer vary slightly!

At first, the greatest investment to be made is TIME, Time and a little more time!!! SFI gives all the tools on a platter, with a step by step guide on what to do - Thus, just the TO DO LIST every day, do the LAUNCH PAD lessons (Try to do 2 per day) and there you have it 1500 VersaPoints, plus, in your first month.

The following month, start

The biggest investment they will make is their time. Even that depends on what their goals are. The bigger the goals the more time invested. But as my mamma always told me work smarter not harder. The way to do that is to reach groups at one time such as a PBR or Private Business Reception, where you invite a group of people, could be friends and family, or strangers, to a meeting at your house or a coffee shop and present SFI to them. You can have different meetings, one for recruiting affiliates,

This is a good question.

There is no one correct answer. The amount one puts in to their business the quicker one might get out. Although in SFI you can start for FREE and make money, albeit it will take a much longer duration usually, if you plan on getting a ROI that is more in the short term, it is not FREE. You have to treat SFI like any other business. You need to invest something and reinvest earnings over time to grow a good sound business.

One can earn a good income

From my two months affiliations with SFI this is what I have learnt and will always recommend to all affiliates.

If an affiliate is aiming at a big success in SFI he/she will have to follow a few simple rules and these rules are:

1. Visiting SFI every day. This rule, you will see on top of every list of getting started tips. Whether it comes from your sponsor, an A2A friend, in the Forum discussions or from SFI itself. You can see the grey button in the header of your home page
