Hi Dignasia,

When I read your question it was probably the first time I realised that the A2A friends could actually be of help to me to build my SFI business. Thanks a lot for pointing that out to me...

Thinking out loud, perhaps the a2a facility not only helps broaden our understanding and knowledge of SFI - as a2a are always posting ideas and recommendations for us to read and learn from - but they can also 'connect with our t-connect page' and see what items we have for

Hi,
Nice question. I personally believe that if possible, its much more fruitful to participate in both W3 and S-Builder Co-op.

However, if you are currently short of funds, then of course the W3 option is the cheaper one, and its a 'one-off' payment of only $1.99.

But, if you can afford it, I would recommend you also buy a share or two of S-Builder Co-op - as that is one of the best methods to gain new Affiliates and give you a better chance to 'duplicate'.

Good

Hi Ali Ahmed,
Good question.
My thinking is that it is probably easier for a 'beginner' to start with
Wave3 Membership, and once reaching EA level,
perhaps purchase PSA's using his TCs which he will have when
making a S.O. for 125 TC - and those valuable 1,500 VP to achieve and maintain EA status?

What long-term goal(s) should an affiliate be setting for themselves?

Hi Keith,
That's a very interesting question you pose...

My thinking is that all of us have our own specific reason for joining SFI, and some will be wanting a short to medium term income, and others will be looking for a long term income from their SFI business venture.

So really, it may well be not that relevant for us, as a Leader, to try to tell our Affiliates what Long-Term goals they need to set. That is really up to them, and them alone!

However, although

Interesting question:

I've read quite a few of the answers sofar, and it appears that the majority of them point you in the direction of the
(a) Sponsor, or the (b) co-sponsor.

If, neither of these helps you, (or proves suitable for your style), then some suggest for you to look at the FORUM, or even using A2A friends etc..... or the 'upline sponsors'...

My personal view is that ASK SC tab provides endless questions, and hundreds of answers - all from experienced

Greetings Mohammed,
I find your question a little bewildering...

Surely, when you decided to join SFI you were looking for some benefits?
i.e. extra income ! Otherwise why would you have joined, other than to perhaps gain a new skill in the art of internet affiliate marketing?

I can only tell you why I joined and what benefits I am looking for.

Number one benefit is that 'extra income' in time - maybe a year or so - to help me with retirement income....
BUT,

Hi
Thanks for an interesting question.
The following thoughts come to mind:
New Affiliates should NOT:
(1) Fail to log in daily.
(2) Fail to follow the Launch pad questions with total concentration, so that they duly go to FAST TRACK, and keep in the E365 competition.
(3) Fail to read Gery Carson's RULES TO SUCCESS.

(4) Try to 'run' before they can 'walk'. ../
eg. first read and study all the training programmes before rushing into snap decision making

HI
That's a very good question.

In my limited experience with SFI, I have started to tell any new 'PSA or CSA' (from day one), that I win, buy, or get allocated by S-Builder etc, that SFI is not a 'get-rich-quick-scheme', but a methodical process of building a business, slowly, but surely.

Like any business, no one should really expect profits in the first year or sometimes even two, but fortunately with SFI, we do not have those 'high overheads & costs' of running

Dear Olakunie Solomon,
What an interesting and thought provoking question you pose:

A lot has been written by now by many more experienced and knowledgeable Affiliates than myself, but it has got me deeply thinking. Here is what I have come up with:

(1) First and foremost, the 'personal characteristics' needed must include:

** a deep desire and need to succeed . which is focused, like a passion at what you are doing within the SFI sphere of business.

HI,
Good question.

For me, if I could start over, I would
(1) Take more time to read through and think more on the LAUNCHPAD lessons.
1.1. I completely missed the FAST TRACK opportunity, and the E365 Competition, so each day I am reminded that I am no longer a participant!
(2) Take more heed of Gery Carson's SFI RULES OF SUCCESS. As there in lies the KEY to Successful use of SFI training.
(3) Avoid using up all my TCredits - from my 125 TC Standing Order, on
