There are no short cuts to success in SFI or elsewhere. You have to do the work. But there are detours, rabbit trails, dead ends, pot holes, and water on the road which you should avoid. And there is the road map and GPS which you should pay great attention.

When you are starting out or when you are advancing, you must pay close attention to what is in the SFI training. Keep close to your sponsor and upline. Duplicate them. Do not add your own spin on it. Do not be enticed by others to add on additional affiliate businesses of any kind. Put all of your attention and effort into building your SFI business.

Obey the rules for advertising SFI and TC. Do not embellish the opportunity, nor give specific amounts of income.

As you sponsor PSAs, duplicate your sponsor and the training manual.Teach them to duplicate you. Do not allow others to privately influence your decisions in SFI. Keep on the main road and do not experiment. When you need help and your sponsor and upline are not able to help you, go to the public SFI Forum and ask for help. Or use the ASK SC venu.

A few tips that can speed you along are:

1) If it's not too late do all you can do to be a Fast Track earner.

2) While I don't want to put you in a pause, when you have done enough of the To Do List for EA, then switch to studying other of the SFI training like Internet Income that do not have vp attached. You can use this information to advantage, and you will have some of the action vp let to use next month.

3) Do all you can to purchase from TC enough to cover your 1500 or 2000 allowed Sales vp every month.

4) Aim for BTL instead of EA2.

5) As you learn all the great things about SFI, let your excitement and joy show to your prospects. They will get excited, too.

Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?

Yes, of course, if you are referring to short term success.

We know that there are Affiliates who start with all guns blazing and able reach the top by using shortcuts such as buying large amounts of TCredits, purchasing items at TripleClicks, and using all the free VP sources to earn large VPs to qualify for Team Leader.

These are the shooting stars - here today, gone tomorrow. For they love using shortcuts, are impatient to succeed and would not follow the SFI Rules of Success. So they end up where they started.

We all know that new Affiliates can have early success by scoring 500 VPs and earning a 200 VP Bonus and a Fast Track Badge, then move on to become Executive Affiliates by earning 1500 VP the minimum required. This can happen in one day of joining SFI.

Within the same short period, new Affiliates can also progress to moving up the ladder by investing money in setting up a standing order and buying TCredit Packs for bidding.

By actively sponsoring as many new PSAs for team building by placing ads or by purchasing a share in S-Builder Co-op or from ECAs.

By referring ECAs, by generating TC sales through PRMS, etc.

By being involved not only in team activities but also being active participants in SFI Forum and Ask SC.

By reading all there is to read, learn all there is to learn, and know all there is to know about SFI training and resources.

And most important is developing the SFI habit of daily logging in, reading and reviewing the latest SFI News,checking the Alerts, and doing the Daily to-do tasks.

These are the shortcuts. No one can buy their way to success in SFI.

Shortcuts? Noo, I don't think so!:(

What there IS is the best system on the Internet to earn an income from home!!:)

The first month or two it is not too difficult to reach EA and EA2. After that, it takes more work and at least some money.

Start: Learn all you can, thoroughly, as quickly as you can to be able to successfully use the system.

Then: Clear all your red tabs daily to gain VPs and MORE knowledge along the way by rating all 30 askSC answers; read all the Forum posts and replies, there is much info shared there.

Also: set up your Standing Order for at least 1500VP. 125-Pak of TCredits ($36.25), subscription to IAHBE ($29/mo) are good choices. Also consider at least 1 unit of S-Builder Coop for PSAs, especially if advertising is not your strongest suit.

And Finally: Keep faith in yourself, and have patience with yourself. SFI success will not happen fast; if you persevere, it WILL happen, to your immense satisfaction and pleasure!

Here's to your success !:))

I like this question because it stimulates us to work smart not just hard.

Each members must know that there are two major success factors here at SFI. and let's see if we have short cuts for these two.

1. Active affiliates:

We have four types of affiliates PSA, CSA, PRM and ECA. Active means they are buying and earning VPs. There are short cuts in having PSA and CSA but there is no short cut for having them active. Nevertheless you can play with the number game, which is 1 to 5 percent of your recruited affiliates will be active.

Here are some short cuts for having a lot of affiliates.
- Buy from TripleClicks.
- Win them from auction at Pricebenders.
- Set up a lot of paid ads.

This will cost you some money but that is the only to have a lot of affiliates and just pray that out of the numbers you'll find active affiliates.

2. Personally earned VP.

To maximize your earnings you must earn VP to match your growing affiliates. Is there a short cut for this? Well, for VP from purchases what you need to do is to buy or set up an standing order. But for action VP you need to work for it. earning the daily VP, and nurturing your affiliates so that they will turn to be an EA at least. There is no short cut for this.

The other sources of income like becoming an ECA or selling some stuff has no shortcut either.

So, Yes there are parts of SFI process that you can shortcut but there are parts that you can not.

Shortcut?

There aren’t a lot of shortcuts to becoming a star unless you plan to win and have a strategy. If you don’t have a plan, you plan to fail. First, talk to your Upline sponsors and let them help you make a plan. Make sure you have learned the SFI Basics, Launchpad lessons and more.

Before even allowing your prospects to sign up:

1. Qualify your prospects. Let them know up front that this business will require time, effort, and investment.

2. As well as advertising your gateways, write a blog about the business and have it connect to social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Pinterest etc.

3. Talk to, or send them information on how to get started on the right foot with a plan that you work on together. People who just sign up from a gateway are just taking a look. They don’t realize what they are committing themselves to. That’s why so many affiliates don’t do anything. They get frustrated too even if they want to do something. They don’t understand so they quit.

At your blog, ask questions about what your prospects want, not what you want. Get to know them on a personal level and show them you care about them as a person. Teach the business even before they even sign up.

The first day that a prospect signs up they need to get 500 VP to get the bonus of 200 VP and a fast track badge. That’s the first minor shortcut. Show them the best way to get these points.

1. If they have some money to invest, show them how to set up a Standing Order of 1500 + VP. That’s 100 + 1500 VP. If they can’t afford it, then single TCredits are a second option. Each single TCredit is worth 102 VP.

2. 125 TCredits is great option for 1500 VP. Another good choice would be DistribuStar. These cards can be used to advertise TripleClicks and can be tracked for up to 300 VP per month.

3. They should do the getting started actions and all the daily and weekly actions. They’ll have 2 CSAs when they get 1500 VP. Teach them to learn all they can at the SFI and TripleClicks site. Have them save the intermediate and launch pad exercises for the following month(s). They can read them but not answer the questions.

4. Let your new affiliate know that they can transfer their VP from the first month to the second month of the business if they signed up after the 7th and transfer the points by the 7th of the next month. There will be a message on their ‘Alert’ page to do so.

5. Send them an e-card to congratulate them. Every badge and encouragement from their sponsor, co-sponsor, and/or Upline sponsor gives a new affiliate some hope.

Keep on working with the workers, encouraging, teaching, and leading by example. Explore all the streams of income. Let your upline sponsor help you by being in contact with them. Last but not least make it fun.

Wong, I think if you are looking for shortcuts then you are possibly thinking that SFI is a get-rich-quick scheme, which it is not. Like anything in life, what you get out of anything is directly related to what you put in, and SFI is no different. If you follow all the basics (as outlined in all the training that SFI offers)you will be well on your way to earning a good second income, and then if you increase your efforts as you learn and grow your SFI business you will be rewarded accordingly.

Build your business slowly but surely, focus on quality and not quantity (as 5-10 good performing PSA's or CSA's are far better than 500 non-performing ones), and coach and mentor these affiliates in your downline to replicate everything you do.

As your commissions grow month by month, re-invest your earnings back into SFI. Purchase S-Builder Co-Op shares or use the new 'PSA's to Go' scheme, so you are slowly building quality affiliates that will increase your monthly commissions.

These steps take time, but they will reward you in the long run. Try not to be too impatient with SFI, simply build and duplicate, build and duplicate......

Good luck

NO! A big definite NO!

Some would suggest having loads of cash to promote your gateways to build a successive downline, recruit ECAs and RMs. yes, you could spend heavily in promoting and advertising both on and off line.

But have you considered this?

Say you have a massive downline built after having done the above and spending big money, how would you go about coaching your downline? How would you lead by example? How would you encourage your downline to achieve success and go through the system? Have you considered this aspect of your business?

Let me ask you a question. Is there a short cut in constructing a building? No. You must first do the basics. Undertake a soil test, and if results are favourable then begin to lay the foundation. Once the foundation is set then you begin the construction work stage by stage.

Likewise, you must first read and learn the basic, start and launch pad lessons. That is why SFI gives you one launchpad lesson per day for the first 30 day. This is to allow you to test the "ground" . that's also why you remain an affiliate for 30 days. Once you have found that SFI is for you and the soil is good for building your future you lay the foundation with you becoming EA the second month and continue building your business even after having reaching the pinnacle by achieveing PTL.

So, in summary ... there is no shortcut at SFI and there should not be any in your business too. SFI is not for those seeking shortcuts or get rich quick systems. SFI is for the long haul.

B. Daily Actions - 497 Action Vps.
C. Price benders - 125 Action Vps.
D. 4 Tcredits_4 Sales Vps. - 408 Action Vps.

This program is full of ways to reach success quickly. Standing Orders, ECAs who sell PSA sign ups, the ability to list your own items for sale on your TConnect page, the ECA program, free training, etc. We have it easy when it comes to having avenues of earning potential at our fingertips!

However, there is one thing that cannot be short cut, and that is YOUR time and energy in the program. You can earn EA every month without lifting a finger, by setting up a Standing Order of 1500vp. But if you want to make REAL money, you MUST be active in your business every day. Building a strong Team is essential to long-term residual income. A good advertising routine ts a must for big sales commissions. These things require consistant effort on your part.

Your vision of the future will drive your actions in these areas. Yes, you can create a system that streamlines your advertising so that you only have to place ads once a week or so. You can purchase PSAs and use an auto-responder to send them tips. However, you can never build an empire without creating systems and practices that can be duplicated successfully by those who sign up under you, and THAT takes work and imagination!

No short cuts here. Put your own personal stamp on your business, and the world, by using your creative powers to do the things others are not willing to do. Take the long way around once, and you will discover tips, tricks and knowledge that you can't find the easy way. After that, people will look to YOU as their short cut!
