As with most things in life, the more you put into your SFI business, the more you'll get out. The time you need to invest in SFI to build a profitable business will change as you get more familiar with everything.

As a newbie to SFI you should be prepared to spend at least 1 hour every day. Depending on your circumstances, if you could do more, you'll grow your business so much faster.

I found that the first few weeks I spent about 4 hours throughout the day. The first few days take up more time because of everything you need to do to build up VersaPoints.

By finishing everything you possibly can on your To-Do list in the first few days, you'll reach a higher level of success much quicker.

Once you've done all that and you want to start recruiting new PSA's, you have to allow time for that too. I compiled a set of adverts to use which took me about an hour. Now I save time by using those.

My schedule looks something like this:

1 hour to complete daily tasks, visit forum, play a game & learning as much as I can

30 minutes to stay in touch with my PSA's & CSA's (As you don't contact your PSA's & CSA's every day this can be much shorter). I keep an eye on my movers and make sure I send them congratulation e-cards etc when needed.

30 minutes to post some ads.

Remember, you don't have to do it all at once. Grab whatever time you have during the day and use it productively.

You are the only one who can decide how much you time you are prepared to invest. Since it is your business, I would imagine it won't be any hardship to give up something else to build it.

Good luck and enjoy building your SFI business!

Hi Dhiraj,

That truly depends on the individual. If you are wanting to take the slow road then I guess maybe a few hours a week, of course, signing in each day to do your red tabs. The other time is for signing in and reading something about the company during the week.

If you are on the average track, which means, signing in each day and while on the site deciding to read something new at that time then 10 hours a week would surfice.

Now, if you are on the fast track then as many hours a day you can spend on the site will pay off in the long run. Yes, I know they say the business only requires a few hours a week and they were not wrong. But, seriously, the longer you are in the business you will realize that your business will move along much faster if you spend as much time as you can by giving it your all.

Not only are you able to read more but the more you read the more you realize that there is something new you can try. And, the list goes on and on. At which time, you will start to see where one of the things you tried because you were giving more time to the business has now increased your commissions sooner. Had you not done this then you would still be waiting for your first commission check.

Hope this helps.

Everybody handles his or her business in different ways because our experiences, objectives and interests are different. SFI is a big business for you and therefore demands a huge investment of time to build a formidable and sustainable business, so I will attempt to answer your question in a more generic way.

You just have to login daily and complete your daily actions and attending to genealogy issues in about 45 mins.

Take another 30 mins to read and learn something new like internet income lesson, marketing and sponsoring strategies etc.

You may need additional 45 mins to explore the world of TripleClicks; auctions, Eagle Zebra games, peruse products of interest to promote.

It is good business strategy to form the habit of sponsoring affiliates and referring TC members on daily basis, so you may need to spend like 1 hour prospecting by placing ads or using other conventional methods.

On a general note about 2 hours a day is enough, but it may not make sense to stick to a time routine because the nature of this business is very dynamic and you can never know what awaits you once you login. Also, if you take this as a full time work as some do, it will be inconceivable to work for just 2 hours when in essence, you should be looking at about 6 hours.

In a nutshell, 2 hour a day may just get you by, but for a more successful and profitable business you need to gradually increase this time as you deem necessary.

Time is costly – once spent it cannot be redeemed – we as business owners need to budget out time so that we can gain the most out of each hour that we use.

In order to accomplish good time management you will need to set a budget on your time allotted for your activities in building your SFI and TripleClicks home business.

It would be next to impossible for me to suggest any certain amount of time needed to build a profitable business. The reason I say this is because not everyone will be at the same level of commitment or in building skills.

My personal time management goes something like this.

1. First thing in the morning – 2 hours in my affiliate center and SFI and TripleClicks web site.
2. I do a lot of advertising on “safe list” so I get a lot of emails to read for getting credits for running my ads – each day I give a hour in reading emails for these credits.
3. I now take a break and do things around the house or outside until 2PM in the afternoon.
4. I now log back in to my affiliate center and read forum post and answer some of the questions. About 1 hour spent here.
5. Now I work on advertising in several different forms – taking about 1 and ½ hours.
6. After dinner around 7PM I log back into my affiliate center and do a quick check on any new news and internal messages that need to be answered. At this time I also write my ASK SC answers – which usually take me to around 10PM.

Now I must tell you that I am retired so I have that kind of time to spend on building my home business with SFI and TripleClicks.

The amount of time you personally invest will be determined by how much you are driven to get into a better lifestyle and higher income brackets.

If your time at this moment is scarce than I say you need to be very proficient in the use of your time. (We should be anyway). And do what you have allotted for building your business.

If you can see that you’re not moving forward as fast as you would like to then you need to take a serious look at your time management and see if you can squeeze in more for business building.

The thing is we all only have 24 hours a day – and once spent it is gone forever this makes time very valuable so use it wisely.

The time you spend with SFI to build a profitable business will vary on the following situations.

1. How long you've been with SFI. - In the first month you need to spend more time to study and learn SFI business model. You need to read, research and take note note new things about SFI and TripleClicks. You also need to earn the daily, weekly and monthly VP's.

The longer you are and become more familiar with the system you will need lesser time on learning. In my case I was spending 3 hours on the average when I was still learning.

But honestly after the learning stage I spend the same time not on learning but I enjoy many things at SFI and TripleClicks, like giving opinion in the forum and answering questions in ask SC. I also spend lots of time on bidding when I have my TC.

2. Whether you have money or not - One of the major activities that we should be doing is finding affiliates. If you dont have money and just banking on free ads then you need more time to post your ads on different free ads sites to find affiliates. But if you have money you can buy S-builder Coop, PSA to go, and PSA's from other vendors, you can also have paid ads on some PTC sites.

3. Whether you are internet savvy or not. - Your knowledge on internet, specially internet marketing will also affect the number of time you need to spend.

4. Whether you have fast or slow internet connection.

So after 3 months, and you have some money to invest with good internet knowledge and connection I would say you need about 2 hours a day to build a profitable SFI business.

Welcome to SFI! I realize that you have asked a valid question as a new family to SFI. Based on your profile, you appear to be managing your SFI business well, but desires help to be more successful.
I hope the varying answers do not puzzle you instead of helping you. I am not sure if any answer will be appropriate for you, and the reason for this answer is because:
1. No two people perform exactly alike.

2. Someone with more network marketing experience than you may not require as much time, as you may need.
3. Every day may not require the same amount of time because of the activities needed to be done.
4. If you measure the time one person spends compared to the time you spend, you may get discouraged if they take less time than you.
Make sure every day, week, and month that you complete:
a. Your daily To-Do-List
b. Read the SFI Forum and AskSC.
c. Read any new learning material. Keep educating yourself.
d. Send out SFI Weekly Newsletter, and answer any questions that PSAs/CSAs have.
e. Always be available to help your PSAs/CSAs
f. Place advertisements for SFI, TripleClicks, PriceBenders auctions and games. .
g. My only suggestion is that I will limit the game and auction times, and focus more on the above activities if you did not achieve your Daily, Weekly or Monthly goals.
My reason for the above answers is to let you know there is no time-formula for success.
I wish you continued success. Aim High! Dream Big!

Sometimes when you are enjoying what you do, you do not realise how much of time you spend on doing it. Whether it is a hobby, a business or a relationship. Your investment will depend on your passion for it and since we are talking about SFI, the bottom line is how much money will you earn on it after your expenses have been taken care of.

How much of time do you have at your disposal-it is not possible to give a definitive answer to this because each affiliate has varied factors that impact on how much time is available to devote to SFI.

However, even if you are in SFI as a part time opportunity, you will need to give it your best to be able to earn anything at all.
- allocate time to duplicate which means various forms of advertising on and offline
- being able to log in daily to complete your tasks and keep a check on your Movers
- participate in forum discussions
- generate sales and fulfill orders if you are an ECA
- reply to emails and handle PSA/CSA queries
- your continued marketing efforts will also require a considerable amount of time!

You will be in a better position to allocate your time towards SFI but remember that your income lies in duplication and being able to support your active PSAs and build a team with them. This can get to be overwhelming and frustrating especially if you do not get active members so a continuous stream of new team members requires a lot of time, sometimes much more than you anticipated initially when you set up your goals.

Nothing will go to waste so keep at it and you will reach your successful destination.

Very honestly, I would say 2-3 hours every day. In order to read all the Forum posts, reply to some, just "like" others, takes time. To rate 30 askSC answers takes a little time. Answering new questions now and then can take a fair amount of time.

Clearing red tabs is not too much time, maybe 15-20 minutes if you do not dawdle, but do read everything (tips, stream, etc.).

Then there is supporting your downlines, which will take varying amounts of time routinely.

And then, there is reading the trainings available to us all. Readers are leaders, as they say, and it is hard to answer newbie questions if you haven't learned that subject yet yourself:)

And let's not forget our great Eager Zebra games!!:))

Have I given you good ideas? It is not a speed contest; be patient and build yourself a good, strong foundation. After that, you can relax a little:))

Best wishes for your success!:))...

Hi Dhiraj
Everything we do today takes time and not everyone has the time to do everything they want to do,so we end up only doing only the most important things in our life. Time will pass anyway ..you can either spend it CREATING THE LIFE YOU WANT or living the life you don't want. The choice is yours.

Now with SFI you have to spend at least 1hour on the daily requirements. This alone is not enough to earn profitably,but it is important VP that you cannot afford to lose. All business require an investment SFI is free to join but a standing order of either T Credits PSA's to go or S Builder will help you retain EA status every month.

You now need to spend time advertising your business.
Answering as many Ask SC questions as you can, best rated earns you 100 Action VP .
Reading as much as possible, with SFI and any other material that will help you gain more marketing knowledge.
CSA's are important in you business . You receive 1 share if you achieve BTL

To build a profitable SFI business, we need to invest at least 4 hours every day.

First, we need to understand completely about what is SFI and how it works. This can be easily achieved by going through the SFI website regularly and utilizing all the knowledge and training materials that are found in the website step-by-step.

Secondly, we need to train ourselves rigorously. This can be easily achieved by following all the instructions regularly and act accordingly step-by-step and also by actively participating in all the activities like TripleClicks Bid Auctions, Zebra Games, SFI Community etc.

Thirdly, we need to bring all our knowledge about SFI into action and hence, we need to build our own team of Affiliates and ECAs and provide them with our best service and support. This can be easily achieved by utilizing the marketing tools, including power tools and other various communication tools that are available in the SFI website.

To do all these things, we have to spend lots of time and put lots of efforts initially because, we not only have to do work for ourselves here, but also we should help our fellow Affiliates (no matter who's PSAs or CSAs the Affiliates are) to achieve their success too. However, in the later stages, our efforts will be very less as we leverage our time and efforts to our fellow Affiliates and their time and efforts benefit us too either directly or indirectly for our success. That's the beauty of SFI business structure. Here, everybody wins and everybody gains. Let's make use of SFI at its best and move forward together.:)
