Time costs. If we were paid by an employer we would expect to work hard for our dollars. Why should it be different for us as Executives of our own affiliate business?
Well, it can be if we place a little seed money into it.
The trick (if there is one) is to invest a little wisely.
Knowing what works best for us is a matter of research and testing but most Team Leaders are able to maintain their status each month and thereby earn their Executive Pool bonuses and other bonuses like second home CSAs because they spend a little effectively.
For me I am not able to afford high shipping costs to buy from TripleCLicks as much as I would like especially as they sell direct some excellent products that are much more appealing than local products AND I can earn VP and commissions from TripleCLicks so why not buy there!
If my team uses my links to buy then I am rewarded also which is great.
How much is a little though? That is the unknown. Personally, I am recruiting an affiliate team to sustain my growth into the future so I will spend on campaigns for paid traffic sources and shout out the message for all to hear just how good SFI and TripleCLicks really are from my viewpoint. The critical mass needed for the SFI affiliate building to work though is more than just find 5 to duplicate what I am doing. I have over 1500 affiliates and real life gets in the way for a lot of them. Lack of vision about how SFI really can build up a solid and rewarding monthly income means I recruit more until...that tipping point is reached.
There is no magic figure here for a perfect answer because it will vary so much for us as individuals but I am reaching break-even after 6 months of being in SFI so I am pleased.
After all many successful businesses never break-even in their first year. Some household names only made break-even into profits after some years of effort building up.
Bam! That is the real answer right there. measure just how much you are prepared to lose is nothing comes back for your investment. Be patient and be prepared for mistakes along the way as you learn while you earn because it really is a learning curve but one with good rewards for those who do more than sign up free looking for free money. Investment is critical even if only time spent at keys working on daily tasks as small steps make a long journey towards monthly residual income.
To our success!
