I would suggest to you to target on both groups!

In each group is a possible good worker,so you have to try attract both.
Make few ads for 1 group and few for other,
their is nothing you can lose just gain.
I think in this business you never know how someone would be when they sign-in.
You try and work with them,guide them and maybe they will learn and have a will to work.
So grab the more people(retired or homeworker,student or unemployed..) that you can and

Hello,

The answer to the above question can be clear as well as very vague.
Reason for the same is that both can be wonderful targets and at the same time both can be really unrewarding.

Many retired people are of the view that they have worked enough for their life and its time to relax. Further home makers may find it difficult to find time to devote to the new assignment.
On the other hand Retired people may have lots of time and can be really easy to work with

I believe limiting yourself to one demographic is a mistake. I do not mean to be rude or cruel but your results might not be what you wanted or expected.

I can not remember the statistic right off the top of my head, but I thought I saw somewhere that only 1% of people stay in SFI and are actually active. That is crazy but if true, I think the best scenario would be to saturate both demographics and any other demographic you can think of. DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF. Or your success will be

Retired people will probably have more time to devote to a home business, and possibly more money although that is not always the case. And since SFI is long term, not instant money, it might appeal to them more, as a homemaker is often in need of money right now for growing kids, etc. Whichever group you choose, I would suggest getting to know some of them personally so you will understand their wants and needs and be better able to figure out what will attract them. Later on you might want to try

There is place for everybody!
Homemakers, retired ones, students and even those who already have a job.
SFI has many ways of earning money so everybody are welcome.

Homemakers needs a hobby so you need to present SFI on the way that is according to their hobby.
Retired persons usualy have much more time and money to invest. With their life experience they become Team liders much faster.

Your adds need to be intended for everyone!
Make some good concise add!

Some retired people have lots of time whereas others do lead a busy life & the same goes for home makers.
I would target both groups because with the economy today many people are looking for a way to make extra money.
Promoting SFI with the training, benefits, resources & cost of startup is one way.
another advantage is working on your own time & where you work.
SFI does require a daily commitment to be successful but you can take a holiday.
Through A2A you

Homemakers most of the time do not have much money.But they need a hobby.
Anyone can succeed if they take the time to read their lessons.

I can envision a homemaker asking hubby for money to purchase T credits
as a standing order or to purchase a Wave3 kit.

Retired persons ( I am one of them),may have the time and money.

But without direction, lots of money can be wasted.

I bought a hundred referrals at once when I first arrived.I did not

I have given your question some consideration and these are my thoughts.

I believe the success of SFI is attributed to its true diversity. As individuals we find the motivation to succeed through our aspirations, irrespective of our background or circumstances.

With that in mind, I feel we should cast our net far and wide to reach our potential future Affiliates and not limit ourselves to specific groups of society.

Wishing you every success.

Hi

My question to you is: Why attempt to pre-qualify anyone?

My experience in selling says that even the most unlikely candidate will buy or respond to your advert. If you want to target old people or homemakers, you are automatically excluding a very large percentage of possible affilliates.

The only pre-qualifying that would possibly work is to find those who want to achieve financial freedom. Billionaires would probably not look at this, but the person who needs

Interesting question. My opinion is very specific. My ads are usually enroll people aged 25 to 50 years. After the majority of these are women. But I think this is just a consequence of the ad layout. It depends on where we put the ad, when it was placed, which field we have chosen. It is also important how our ad looks like and what we wrote in the ad.
Since we are in a time when many people are without a job, they can be our best target because everyone would like to earn money and SFI is
