Succeeding in SFI without investing any money is typically not likely. I know many people have little to no money and that's why they join SFI as it is a FREE to join opportunity and SFI doesn't require any buying of products--though it rewards those who do with VersaPoints under the Sales VP category.
While there are plenty of techniques a person can employ that cost little to no money, this practice should be a temporary one--until you gain some revenues through your business OR through some other means.
Eventually you will need to invest money. This includes advertising, providing incentives for the performers on your team (which helps to build this business), obtaining various tools and other business building resources, a computer or other mobile device--or time in an internet cafe, and yes--even buying products for yourself. The best way to market affiliate products is to FIRST experience the products you are promoting first hand
Let's duplicate this insistence of being successful without investing any money. Let's say you have 100 affiliates under you and no one invests any money. First of all the likelihood of this outcome (having 100 affiliates under you this way) is very improbable. Secondly, the income picture of this scenario is dismal for each and every team member here. When we apply duplication to this insistence of investing no money it really unveils the reality of such a notion.
The key is to learn how to get started with little or no money WHILE discovering ways of acquiring the capital you need BOTH through your SFI business AND THROUGH other resourceful means where you live. This sort of mentality EMPOWERS people so that they CAN BE successful!
Can you harvest a field of corn without ever planting any corn? No. It takes money to make money. But again, if your current situation is one of being without money (capital) with which you can invest in this business, you're not destined to failure! Again, consider the points of this article on what to do.
While you're working toward acquiring money each month toward some sort of financial budget for you business, there are some things you can do that don't cost anything which will lead to seeing some results in your business.
I will provide some topics, you can do some research. Here's a few:
* Learn about and become effective with some traditional network marketing techniques and strategies on a person to person level (p2).
* Learn how to effectively promote this business to your warm market.
* Be sure to INCLUDE those who have money in your person to person marketing efforts. (Some people won't approach professionals, or people who seem like they "don't need" to do this business--but my experience has proven that they are the ones who WANT what this business offers!)
* Become good at interacting with people so that you can develop cold contacts into warm contacts.
* Find local opportunities where you can somehow promote your business
* Organize a local team and together tackle free methods of online marketing--set up a co-op for this so that everyone working together also reaps the results.
* And of course... be sure you've really looked at the MARKETING METHODS link of the MARKETING section of the SFI Affiliate Homepage Toolbar.
These are habits that should continue throughout your business even after you acquire the money to invest. If you don't have the money to invest right now, you can still do this business. Just don't make it your goal to succeed without investing--"If you sow sparingly, you shall also reap sparingly." And if you don't sow at all......Don't take that chance!
