There are so many reasons for many affiliates becoming inactive shortly after joining SFI.

Inactivity will set in soon after joining while still trying to understand the SFI procedures. After only a half-hearted attempts at doing the Daily tasks, with a sprinkling of VPs here and there, they stopped altogether, confused. Instead of seeking help, or accepting the offer from their sponsors, they decide right there and then that SFI is not for them- not what they are expecting, whatever that is, and cannot understand the procedure so they opt out, or, better, become inactive.

Or, upon becoming EA due to the many free sources of VP and how easily they can collect 1500 VP to become EA, they stop temporarily until the next month when they have to start all over again.

Then,the following month when they start to struggle in earning 1500 VP again, they learn that a little investment is necessary, though not compulsory, in order to set up a Standing Order with 1500 VP to ensure they keep their EA rank. They start to make it hard for themselves by complaining. So, they stop at this stage and remain missing in action.

Others will have problems of not having a credit card, or not having the means- being out of job, being a student, or just being out of luck, to fund a credit card in order for them to purchase anything at TripleClicks, so this prevents them from moving on.

Still others will have difficulty of internet access from where they live, or not having their own PC, or any devices that will help them persevere with SFI.

Many, even before becoming EA, will ask how they will get paid, or when they will get their commission after only a month in SFI and not much of an activity in sponsoring or promoting TC products or purchasing/selling TC products themselves. Not receiving any commission on their second month, or even receiving very small amount of commission, they become discouraged and only see obstacles to their dreams and goals, so they become inactive for many months until they could not find any better alternative and decides to give SFI another go.

For some who are still gainfully employed, finding time to do their daily tasks and to really devote a part of their time to SFI is in itself a struggle, so they remain inactive. Some who set up a standing order are saying that for the time being that's all they can do until such time that they are out of job or have retired and they log in again and know that they are still in business.

For stay-at-home mums with young kids, being inactive is understandable as they try to balance their time and activities with raising a family and running a SFI business.

There are more reasons and excuses for one's inactivity but to list them all here is a waste of space, not only energy.

Since you're not asking for solutions, I hope I'm able to answer your question.
