Working on a tight budget for many is a sense of reality in our society today. It's becoming more of a global situation every day. My husband is on disability and when I started SFI I was working for minimum wage..$7.25/hr; I recently lost my job in which I was only making $8/hr.

My husband and I sat down and had a long talk about what we were going to do regarding finances. We have decided that we will pinch on food budget and eat very cheaply. We also contacted several creditors and made payment arrangements on some of our bills and even lowered some payments. Any extra money we do get from friends or little things we do will be put aside to invest in my SFI.

I used to have my own commercial business and was constantly pumping serval $1,000's into it every month. I figure if I can get away with $50-75 in this business and build it (even if it is slow) then that's what I have to do. I have set a SO for 125 TCredits and S-Builder and usually pick up some other TCredits during the month; I am starting to get PSA's coming slowly plus the 250 CSA I have received for being EA or BTL. I have about 8 active people so far (no PSA's) and so I can see my business growing as long as I can manage to keep my status!

Keep thinking positive and success will be yours. It all boils down to what you want and how badly or how much you believe in it!

To your success!

I think most of us are on a tight budget nowadays.
I know I am. So what's that answer?

I read something someone else said and I agree
wholeheartedly that Wave 3 is the best program
for the price. You're actually getting it free.
You just pay for the shipping. And at just $1.95
I can't imagine why anyone can afford NOT to
grab ahold of this awesome program.

Next, I recommend Sbuilder Coop. With Sbuilder
you can get signups for SFI and TripleClicks
every month. This allows you to participate in
large scale advertising campaigns which are done
for you, without a large investment.

If you can't afford the cost of Sbuilder, you can
ask someone else to split the cost and set up a coop
in your coop manager with both of your names and share
the cost as well as the benefits.

And if you can't afford anything, I recommend telling as
many people as you can about SFI both online and offline,
and doing everything you can possibly do on a daily basis.

Follow the well designed path, and have clear goals so that
you can challenge yourself to attain them, and stay in close
contact with your sponsor, who may offer you something to help
you along the way.

I hope this helps. I'm sure there is someone else who has more
information to help you. So keep watching. ;)

Below is an answer that I gave for a very similar question.

Saving about 96 cents ($.96) a day?

A cup of coffee from a vending machine = about 50 cents ($.50)

Q: What is the price of a small cup of coffee at Tim horton's?
A: A small cup of coffee in most Tim Horton's is $1.23 however the prices vary depending on where you are.
Source: wiki.answers.com

One extra trip to the grocery store = about 70 cents ($.70)

1 gallon of gas = average $3.25 a gallon, car average consumption about 23 miles a gallon, round trip estimated 5 miles

If you run a 100 watt bulb for 10 hours you would use 1000 watts of electricity or 1 killowatt hour (kWh). The cost of electricity varies by location usually. Mine even has a sliding scale based on the usage and goes from $.08 to $0.25 per kWh. Look at your electric bill to see if it shows a rate per kWh. If it does not, divide the dollar amount of your bill by the total kWh used to get a rate per kWh. That will be the cost to run a 100 watt bulb for 10 hours.

There's a 'rule of thumb' (2007 numbers) - a 100 Watt light bulb costs about 100 dollars per year if left on continuously.

I could go on and on, but I think you catch my drift.

Now, a savings of 96 cents ($.96) a day = $29 a month.
A Standing Order for 100 T-Credits = $29 a month
You earn 1200 VP
Bid the 100 T-Credits on a price benders auction and you gain 100 VP and 500 MRP’s
For 480 MRP’s you can but 4 single T-Credits, gaining 408 VP.
Bid the 4 T-Credits and you now have 1712 vp

This along with your daily actions and such, you have more then enough vp to maintain EA every month.

You also have 40 MRP left over for the following month.

I am sure you can all think of ways to grow from their!

And who knows, you may even get lucky in one of the auctions.

While there are many other household saving ways you lower you budget, the above is just a starter.

Very good question. I found SFI to be one of the best business one can do successfully in a tight budget situation. This is because with proper technics and dedication to follow the steps as stipulated in the SFI Basics as well as tapping into the knowledge contained in the Lunchpad, you only need little monthly investments to remain profitable. For example you can run this business under $50 monthly budget and if you increase it to under $100 you will greatly exceed. Here is how my monthly investment goes. I start with the standing order of 125 T credits for $36.25, you can alternate/substitute it with IAHBE for under $30. Both will give you 1500 VP's needed to re-qualify. I prefer the 125 T credits simply because it helps me participate at the auction which is completely fun. puts me in a position to win a bid and at the same time if I couldn't win any bid I will earn additional VP's for those T credits used, so its a win win situation. Next I like to spend money on new online duplication or sign ups. This you can get under $30 depending on which plan you choose. These online signs ups will help recruit PSA's with no guarantee that each one will be active. This helps you to start acting as a leader even before you get an active PSA. It also helps in redirecting your focus on team building and duplication. Then I will look for something that will help increase my badges like wave3 which is free and need to pay Under $2 for shipping. Then I will indulge in self advertising anyway I can get my link out. I start with sending my link to all my phone contacts as well as social media. If my VP is low on the selling side I simply start buying 1 t credit with my MRP which gives me about 102 VP's. I focus more on training new affiliates to get them stated well and smooth. This is because My upline team leader helped me a lot from the beginning and made me comfortable so duplicate that as well. You can see all my investments falls under $60. and as the month goes by I acquire more knowledge and spend less.

Work smarter not harder is often said about devoting time to any business. Similar applies to budgets too. Some combine their daily tasks with minimal spending on TCredits one at a time to maximize the 102VP available as well as maximize the daily draw chances. In this way they spend very little to maintain their EA status and grow their business slowly but surely. If they are able to connect with friends and family to recruit PSA and ECA from their close networks then this can work well as people do not buy into a corporation ever but they will associate themselves with like minded people.

Many will allocate about $30 each month to try to advance the business through buying sign ups or using a bulk purchase of TCredits to play cleverly at auctions. It can be more difficult to get sign ups to know like and trust us this way as many will forget why or when they signed up and treat internet businesses as a scam so there is a greater obstacle to overcome before team building really pays off.

Short words...YOU make the difference more than any budget;)

Keith, I would give this answer to anyone who, like me, is on a tight budget, although I have been in SFI since 2001.

First, read, read, and read, every day! It is very important to learn everything there is to learn about this business from Day 1. You also gain VP and may get your bonus 200 VP to add to the first 500.

Next, if possible, set up a Standing Order (SO) for IAHBE. This ensures that you have 1500 VP each month for EA rank. If you are not able to do this, purchase some TCredits, if possible, however many you are able to purchase.

Now, you must log in every day and get your daily, weekly and monthly tasks, while reading everything on those pages. You gain valuable VP for all of these tasks. Be sure to participate in all the contests. If you have a car, purchase Wave3 Kit. Then refer others to your Wave3 Gateway Site. Even if you don't have a car, you can refer others to Wave3. Later, you may be able to purchase gift cards. This is an excellent way to tell other people about TripleClicks and SFI. With any TCredits you might win or purchase, you can bid at the auctions and perhaps win more items at reduced cost and purchase those items, gaining more VP for bidding.

The main thing to remember is that you must sponsor affiliates and refer customers as often as possible. You could do this by purchasing at least a share of S-Builder Co-Op. You could do free advertising, but you really have to know how to do this and you need to spend a lot of time doing that.

If you can purchase items you normally purchase elsewhere from TripleClicks and purchase them from ECAs in your own country, this may help with your budget. This could be anything from soap, shampoo, vitamin and other supplements and things you normally purchase periodically, for home or personal consumption. Special holiday items could also be purchased this way. Think of how you could save car fare or gasoline and purchase these items online.

Use your imagination to think of other ways to save and use your business to the full to help you succeed on a tight budget. I look forward to reading more suggestions from other affiliates.

I am so glad to hear someone finally ask this question. I believe this is the BEST question that has been asked on Ask SC. Many of our affiliates are starting off with limited funds to spend on expensive "start-ups." As a matter of fact, there are quite a few that have experienced some setbacks because they previously invested in other companies and as a result of them losing a portion of their wealth, they entered into SFI.

I believe the best way is to first establish what your monthly investment will be. If you are working with limited funds, you need to establish early, how much you can reasonably invest in your business on a monthly basis. Once you determine that, then you can determine which aspect of SFI you wish to utilize, using the amounts your vowed for investment. There are always two main options - build through creating affiliates or build by selling products. Most of the time, it is easier to accomplish one or the other, rather than trying to do both at the same time.
