It is difficult to understand why a new affiliate would want to take shortcuts if they are really serious about their SFI business. The first two months are all about learning about SFI to help you grow your business. This calls for a lot of patience.
The way I understand shortcuts in SFI is as follows:

1. Not logging in daily
2. Building a team without working for it
3. Making easy money with no effort
4. Getting to a higher title at the shortest time

If you have a lot of money to burn, which most of us do not have, you can take all the shortcuts possible, but your success and that of your team will be short-lived.

So, what are the shortcuts?
1. Get a Standing Order of 2000VP monthly possible an SO involving buying PSAs (quality of which cannot be determined) and without training, which is your responsibility as a sponsor, they may all end up being inactive. This means you are throwing away your money monthly. This will cost you about $200 monthly!!

2. Buy thousands of TCredits and use these to bid on Auctions.
For example – since you already have a standing order of 2000VP your will need 1000VP for actions to make BTL. You would have to buy 1000 TCredits and bid these. This will cost you about $290 monthly!!! The higher the title the more it will cost.
With the above scenario, is it really worth running your business this way, and how many of your prospective PSAs and CSAs can afford this?

My advice for you is – follow the SFI guidelines. It may take longer, but you will build a successful and stable business.

Hi,

In real life situations there is no shortcut to take in order to archive success that is without crime so also is being successful in your SFI business.

The only "Shortcut" I have discovered that leads to Success in SFI is commitment. Having a Standing Order of 1500VP monthly, Advertising, completing your daily actions and Duplication.

You can not archive success in this business if you are not actively and honestly ruining your online (SFI) business as you would run any traditional business that you expect to come to every day and open the doors for customers to come in and patronize you. You must make the online community to notice you on the web and the best and only way to achieve this is by effective and continuous advertising of your links and gateways addresses. You also need to be an awesome sponsor so that you can reproduce affiliates that are ready to do what you are doing to recreate your efforts and grow your team membership and business earnings.

So if you must be Successful in SFI you must follow the Rules Of Success, as laid out by the organisation, and that can be found here: https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index.

Thank you.

Good question.
With most business models, I have the impression that there are NO short cuts to success with SFI.
(When, and if you start a new business in most areas, it takes a year or two to start making profits. Similarly to what we can expect with our business venture with SFI).

I tend to tell my new Affiliates that this is 'not a get rich quick scheme', and not to expect quick returns - so work hard, follow all the RULES TO SUCCESS, and depending on our efforts, you will eventually succeed..

Even if you have spare funds to invest early on, I tend to believe it is pointless to have hundreds of affiliates on your Team, until you really read, learn and understand all about the SFI programme.

So, this is a 'marathon' and not a 'race'.
First build the foundations, and then the business will build up and grow strong, slowly but surely.

Seek and you shall find... '(seek those dedicated, disciplined, and determined FIVE affiliates to join your Team.... as that is "all" it takes)...

Best of luck in your SFI endeavours.

The only shortcut to anything is education and practice.

You shouldn't be in such a hurry because you will leave a ton of cash on the table others will pick up. You might reach profits faster spending a ton of money on your business but you might not be able to sustain the short term success if you don't know how to be a good sponsor or if your only plan is to throw money at your business and pray.

Success only comes through hard work, education, and constant practice. You must know what you are doing, where it will lead you, and practice the steps to get there until they are automatic, like breathing. This will take hundreds of hours of study, and thousands of hours of labor but the rewards will be that much sweeter when they come.

If you're in a hurry you need a lottery ticket not a business.

The short answer is NO. If there were, we would all be extremely rich by now.

Shortcuts are what the 'get rich quick' schemes promote - Not SFI.

SFI is here to stay. It is not a scheme.

SFI is a business. Like all business of substance, it has to have structure, it needs to be promoted, the staff need to be trained, it has to have good and marketable products and services, those need to be promoted etc.. These all take time, patience and effort.

We certainly use time and effort saving activities within SFI in the way we conduct our business. That is only natural and is the only way to conduct any business.

Shortcuts are for the fly by night schemes and those looking for quick and easy money.

Well my thought on this will be as follow:

Certainly in some ways there are indeed so called short cuts or fast Track to success like the Fast Track bonus of 200 VPs given for completing 500 VPs within first 24 hours upon joining SFI, having a standing order of 1500 VPs , completing the daily , weekly and monthly tasks , persistently and proactively sponsoring and promoting via various online and offline platforms and mentoring and duplicating together with team building with fellow PSAs and CSAs to max income potential , setting up own ECA to promote and push up revenues saw Ella s actively promoting ECAs business set ups and PRMS .

Not forgetting to assist your Affiliates to duplicate

https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor
www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index
Encourage everyone in your team including yourself to Advertise every day to build your downline .

Do not Re invent the wheel make full use of all available SFI resources and use your advertising skills and use personal contact, word of mouth , flyers , X cards ,S-Builder Co-ops, Gift Cards, Social Sites, Free online Ads, PPC, Traffic Exchanges and Safe Lists to build your business.
Communicate regularly with everyone within the team and that in my opinion is the short cut to success

SFI has provided you with many shortcuts.
Take advantage of what it provided to you and utilize your key codes and tracking system. It will save you time and possibly money since it would take time to hunt a good tracking system and set it up and then it could cost you a little money.

Spend time reading through the training section of SFI as well as the Forum and AskSC. There is practically an encyclopedia of internet marketing within the pages of SFI and it is all in one spot saving you time searching for answers.

The team mailer saves you the time it would take to set up your own mailing list and even comes with nice looking E-Cards for you use!

The Co-op manager makes setting up your own co-op fairly simple and free while your reassignment manager can be used to motivate those in you downline or to just build a stronger team.

Your marketing section has a wide range of banners and ads as well as samples letters and phone scripts for your use. There is also helpful advice as to how to use them.

These are just some of the shortcuts that are built into SFI that will save you time and money if you will just use them.

Dear Wong!

I know for shortcuts on computer, but there is no such a thing in SFI.
This is not a business where you got to hurry to succeed. On the contrary.
You got to be patient and consistent in your work.

Do your daily, weekly and monthly tasks at first. Advertise, and get as much
as you can new PSA-s. Learn them to do exactly what you do (duplication),
then you can can remain EA status every month. If there is no sign-ups,
you have to put a Standing Order to remain EA status. This is the beginning to
build a successful business. But just a beginning. Because just to remain EA
is not yet a success. You have to learn constantly and apply it in practice.
SFI have a very good marketing methods for progressing in this business.

And with work as I describe, you will succeed. You will get Bronze, Silver,
Gold or Platinum Team Leader status so fast, that you will be surprised.

No! There are none! And if you try to create any you will only hurt yourself! A short cut is defined as a method or means of doing something more directly and quickly than and often not so thoroughly as by ordinary procedure.

SFI has already provided all the tools we need to success. The easiest way you can get to success in SFI is by simply seting up and maintaing a standing order from your first day/week/month. You will gain instant success. Then, each month you can add one of the tools to further enhance your success.

In time you build a downline and you begin to get residual income. Dedicate time to study and communicate with them as you become their leader. Refer persons to TripleClicks and accumulate ECA referrals. Create your blog and advertise your business with all your gateways provided by SFI.

Continue to work as a team and make your efforts lighter. Build healthy habits and see them grow into prosperity for you and for those in your team. Follow the rules, set good examples and continue to aim high.

Life is too short…, success is too enjoyable … and SFI is too honestly organized … to have shortcuts. We don’t need them! Let us all use what we have to the best of our abilities.
