The answer is how successful do you want to be? I will spend minimum 1 hour every morning with my Business. The amount of time will vary depending on what needs to be attended to. If I have purchased PSA's and the notifications are coming into my inbox I need to immediately welcome them, or maybe somebody signed up through an advertising campaign, so this means that I must be checking in with my business throughout the day.

The idea is when you are in business for yourself you must always be present "AT THE STORE" you must live and breath this business, in order to have success, never leave your store unattended. You have advertising to do, because nobody knows your in business unless you tell them, so are you talking to your friends and family, people that you meet about SFI? You must, they have to know you are running a business and that they are free to join you and have their own business.

Set a goal everyday as to what and how you will be growing your business today, so that you will be engaged with it, shop and buy from your tripleclicks store, so that you understand the whole buying process to share with your team as you grow.

As they say time is money, you are building for your future earnings!

Approximately, 2 hours daily.

Spending at least 1 hour in the morning to visit your tab and review other sections of SFI, i.e. Alerts, To-Do List etc. then another 1 hour in the evening, when you must have retired for the day.

With this, you will be able to follow up and keep yourself abreast on new items/products for sell. Also, in the evening you will be able to address questions/mails from your PSA's, CSA's etc and participate in Eager Zebra games, pricebenders auction etc.

With this level involvement, you can grow your SFI business and still be able carry on, on your normal daily activities.

You can also devote more than 2 hours as time goes on and your level of involvement on SFI's business. Note, SFI's business is not limited to online platform only, distribution of gift cards, Wave3 Membership, Soliciting for ECA's at the least can improve your earnings.

Thank you and I wish you a wonderful time here on SFI.

Your personal circumstances will determine how much time you invest in building your SFI business.

If SFI is your only way of earning an income you need to put in a full days work - like you would if you were employed by a company. You need to set your "office hours" and treat it like you would treat any other job. What would you do in this time? You would spend an hour or so doing your daily tasks and earning the much needed VP. The rest of the day you will spend playing the games and recruiting new affiliates, advertising products, helping your down line, answering e-mails and handling whatever comes up. In other words - you need to promote and advertise - sell SFI and TripleClicks. You can do this via printed media, electronic media and word of mouth or even radio and tv when your business grew strong enough to carry the costs. There is really no limit as to what you can do and organize - as long as you do not break the law of course.

I would also suggest you put time out every day to learn. Learn something new every day - read the lessons SFI offers, learn from others that is successful with SFI. You can never learn too much.

If you have a regular job and you are doing this as a 2nd income or preparing for the day you retire you will have less time available to invest in SFI but you still need to invest enough time every day to do at least your red tabs and earn the maximum VP possible. Some people will get through this very quickly because their 1st language is English and they don't have to spend time understanding or translating while others need to spend a little more time to get value out of the lessons and advise they read. I have a regular job so during the week I do not have that much time but I spend more time over weekends to advertise and promote. I am not growing as fast as I would like to, but it is understandable because I spend less time working on my business than some other affiliates.

Take your business serious, draw up a plan for yourself, manage your time to optimize every minute you spend working on your business. You are a unique individual with your own unique circumstances and reasons for being here - what works for me might not work for you - but you can make it work in your own way.

Hi Dhiraj,

As I know you are a committed member of SFI, I know you know the answer to this, however I appreciate that you are asking the question for the benefit of new members, so I thank you for that!

The answer: as much time as you can! Time spent now will be time saved later, giving you more time, and money, later to enjoy the rewards of your work.

And it's not like it's all work and no play. There is much fun to be had at SFI and TripleClicks: even playing the Eager Zebra games is all contributing to the success of your business.

Start with your 20-30 minutes doing your To-Do List.
Add another 30-60 minutes at least reading more training articles, and putting what you learn into practise.
Do business building activities like placing ads in social media, classified ads sites, etc.
Spend time outside of SFI learning more skills to help your business, like building your website or blog.
Talk to people you know or meet and if the opportunity arises, tell them about your business.

I think, once you become involved with SFI, it's really hard not to spend time on it, not because it's hard work, but because it's so exciting!

Remember that what you put into it, is what you will get out of it!

To your great success!

Is SFI business is not a business? What would you do if SFI is your brick and mortar business? You will rise early in the morning and leave late at night, just to ensure you sustain and your business prosper. How long will that be? More than 12 hours per day.

You should think the same for SFI. If you spend 20 minutes online, you will get a 20 minutes result and income. I am sure you will do more and write at least four figure income to your commission check! For a start. My point is, there is no such thing as a fixed time. SFI is very flexible and you are your own boss... you decide how much time you like to spend for your online business. It’s all depends on the tasks to be completed daily, weekly and monthly, such as;

1. Your team
How big is your team and how active are your PSAs and CSAs. For a big team, you may need a longer hour to check your genealogy to see your team progress, sending out mails/e-card to congratulate, coaching those in your group, checking on your movers if anyone need your help etc.

2. Your daily/weekly & monthly tasks
How fast can you complete all tasks, only you are able to answer.

3. Your team communication
Email from your team members, you may want to establish rapport and communicating with your team on the social network and help them personally, indirectly building the trust among team members. Teamwork is the key.

4. Prospecting
You need to spend some time for your advertising. Be it on social networks, website, blogs, traffic exchange, pay per click etc.
You need to look for PSAs and PRMs among others, in order to draw a bigger paycheck. Means you have to promote your business at SFI, TripleClicks (your Superstore), ECA Program, Wave3, Eager Zebra Games , X-Card and many more.

Not a get rich quick scheme, SFI requires a lot of time once your team is growing. Time and dedication is the key if you are here to taste the success like many other successful SFI Team Leaders.

Hi Dhiraj,

Every affiliate or a team leader will have to decide their own time they should invest in SFI to build a profitable business.

It can depend factors such as

Internet Availability
How many new persons you can call, meet .
How much you can invest in advertising
How many other business/ jobs you do along with SFI
Do you have special skills required to win Jackpots in PTP and Time machine contest and Trivia games?

The answer to your question cannot be a minimum fixed time every day. Why because every individual can decide to focus on certain income streams( One or more) Success in them will also depend on what are your strengths and weaknesses.

You may become profitable by sponsoring PSAs. You may become profitable by sponsoring ECAs
You may become profitable by becoming expert in answering Trivia.

Today you may require 3 HOURS A day. May be after you have started focusing and learning more and capitalizing on your strength, you may become profitable in 10 minutes of a Trivia game! Don't you agree?

Best regards

Dear Friend!

I would like to ask you a question, which in turn will be the apt answer to your question.

"How much time a day do you invest to promote your own business if you own one business".

If you own a business, you would do the following - consider SFI as your own business and do the same.

If you own a business you would do these

1. Start business at the right time -- do the same to SFI - Start as early as possible
2. Work full day for the business -- do the same to SFI - Spare maximum time to-do-list's daily,weekly,monthly
3. Spare time for customer care -- do the same to SFI - Spare extra time to PSAs/CSAs
4. Spend time to purchase items -- do the same to SFI - Spare time to purchase at TripleClicks
5. Extra hours to organize items -- do the same to SFI - Spare time to play games and earn VPS, MRPs
6. Extra hours to develop business -- do the same to SFI - Spare time to learn tutorials to improve your skill
7. Spend time to special customers -- do the same to SFI - Spare time for PRM
8. Spend time to advertise business -- do the same to SFI - Spare time to advertise SFI, TripleClicks products to promote them
9. Close biz.at late nigh(some time)-- do the same to SFI - Close SFI also, after you finish off fully your daily works.

Dear Friend, If you treat SFI as your own business and spend the same time you spare for your own business, you could build a profitable business.

One more thing to add is : Invest some money to SFI each month along with investing your valuable time to maximize you profitable SFI business.

Thanks for the opportunity. Hope this answer is useful to all.

The time you need to invest each day in your SFI business depends on how far yu want to go with your business and how fast you want to move. It also depends on your computer skill level and how quickly you can work. It also depends on the day of the week and the tasks you need to perform on each day.

Here's how I work. On Sundays I perform my daily and weekly tasks and, if it is the first of the month, my monthly tasks on my To-Do List. This includes sending out my weekly letter and making sure my Stream posts are submitted, etc. If I have new affiliates, I send my welcome letters. I also play games and do other things during the day.

During the rest of the week, I complete daily tasks, write welcome letters, and play games and do other offline things.

Depending on how much work is there for me to do, It may take me from one hour to three hours or more. If there is an auction, or several of them, it could take me more hours. Then, handing out gift cards and talking to people about SFI and TripleClicks uses up time as wel.

For these reasons, I feel that you must determine your daily time slots for working on your business. It might take you 30 minutes to work on your daily tasks, but remember that you should spend time reading and reading and reading so you are up to speed on everything and so you can help your team. You may need to spend time chatting online or talking to affiliates on the phone to help them. This takes time.

I know this is not a definite answer, but I hope it will give you some ideas about what you want to do and where you want to go and the level you want to reach in your business. Above all, have fun with this, and you won't worry about the time factor. Time flies when you're having fun!

In any business endeavor, whether conventional or internet, time allocation and management is a key factor to grow your business.

You need to define and identify which areas are your key focus, concern and priorities.
Once you have identified them, the next step is to allocate time for each.
To me, in order to build a profitable business at SFI, these are the key focus areas and the corresponding time allocation:

1. Daily, Weekly and Monthly actions tasks. Time: At least 1 hour a day.
- This is a very important area where you do not only earn vital VersaPoints but also keep abreast of latest news announcement and updates about SFI. This is where you can play Eazy Zebra Games and participate in Forums.

2. Training and Education: Time: At least 30 minutes a day.
- Using all the available resources at SFI, you have to continue education yourself and your team about the entire business model of SFI.

3. Product Knowledge and Promotion - Time: At least 30 minutes a day.
- The main ingredient for generating good commission from SFI are the products (9000+ of them) that are being offered by Tripleclicks, both direct and from ECAs. This is where Affiliates gets the Commission Volumes. Affiliates can also apply as ECA or setup their store thru TconnectPage / Member Listings (garage store).

4. Building a Strong team (duplication) - Time: At least 30 minutes a day.
- There are different ways to build your team; through advertisements, using the different marketing methods and aids to purchasing S-Builder coop and PSAs to go. You have to make sure also to communicate with your team to motivate and encourage them to keep going.

Overall, 2.5 to 3 hours is the minimum time to spearhead your business at SFI.
