Any business is business and all of us should accept this as a real BUSINESS and work daily on it.


Now,about what time you need for actions that will bring you profitable business here...

First to say it may depend on different factors:how good is your English (luckily,there's Google translate for those who are not so with English),at what position you are (are you beginner - just reading,clicking and learning,or you are a team leader - leading and teaching your team/downline),do you have any method of doing actions (or you just do it "as you wish"),"quality" of your downline (how fast they are learning),etc.


So,you need to take time for these fundamental actions:
1. Daily tasks at SFI
2. SFI advertising
3. SFI marketing/training/teaching
4. Communication with your team members
5. Improvement of yourself


This is how it may look like:

1. Daily tasks - around 1 hour.Some need more,some need less (depending on their English).Complete all your daily,weekly and monthly tasks.Try not to leave anything undone.

2. Advertising - you can do it all day,little by little.Most common ways to do it are at social media (Facebook,Twitter,Pinterest...) - including your social profile and groups that you belong to,then through your blog(s),newsletters,etc.Say,you need 30-60 minutes in the morning,30 minutes around noon,30 minutes afternoon and 30-60 minutes in the evening.

3. Marketing/teaching/training - pick a time once in 2-3-4 days (once a week or twice a week) for teaching your team how to do things in SFI.You need to tell them all the "secrets" of successful building of their careers.It is VITAL to explain them (and they to accept it) "the process of duplication".For training you will need 60-90 minutes (maybe more,maybe less,depends how fast your downline is learning).

4. Communication - I can not tell how IMPORTANT is this.It's almost as vital for your success as duplication.Do you want your affiliates to think that you "left them all alone"?Ofcourse not.That's why you MUST keep contact with them.When someone does something good - congratulate to him/her,when someone is not doing good - explain him/her where is he/she wrong.For this you may need 30 minutes to 2 hours (writing and answering team mails,e-mail,personal messages,being on chat,etc.).

5. Improve yourself - read,read,read.Every day you will hear/see/learn something new.


Like I said,all this may very vary,depending on many factors mentioned before.


At the end don't forget:you will also need time to REST!
Well,then there are games at Triplceclicks.Have fun a little and rest your brain ;)

How much time to spend on ones business is relative to the availability of free time anyone. Those on retirement may have more time, those very much conversant with computer- may spend fewer quality times. Other workers may spend less time.

All these people may, in the long run succeed depending upon the quality of work done to promote their business

Quality work depends on following some set rules. In SFI, the more hardworking people in ones downline and the effective monitoring of their performances determines the success or profitability of the business.

Sales made by one and the downline also reflects on the profit accruing to the team leader.
All these build up to the advertisement always put in place.

T-Time requires regular visits. So one can work for 1-2 hours continously and visit the TripleClicks Games, intermittently throughout the day or part of the day and play gsmes: whenever possible,to earn something.

Infact there is no limit to work, so long as its day. So make money so long as you can work for it. Thanks

An hour a day is adequate, but two to three hours will give better results.

30 minutes will get the basic To-Do List done, then another 30 minutes for writing stream posts, PSA or CSA Mailers, answering Ask SC questions, and perhaps a game or two. To get everything done in an hour means you're rushing things, and it takes a bit of practice to get everything done in so short a time.

After your initial one hour, you can start working on doing advertising, sponsoring, promoting, and all that good stuff. This is the more flexible part of the program. If you choose to use S-Builder or purchase PSA's To Go, then you won't need to spend much time worrying about sponsoring. You can instead spend the time working with your down line and helping them to grow their business. As your team grows, you'll need to work with some of them more closely, and help them to become team leaders.

Unlike other business opportunities, SFI does give a person a chance to develop a profitable business working part-time hours. This allows an individual to keep a regular job while building a viable income independent of an employer.

Hi Dhiraj,
1. Time you need to invest to build a profitable SFI business depends on several factors as appended below:-
i) How fast you want your business to grow.
ii) How far in your business you want to proceed
iii) Your experience in online marketing
iv) Amount of resources you are ready to invest.
v) Your level of computer skills.
2. If you are a slow and steady type, content to move steadily to your goal then 30 minutes a day will get you there in a few years along with some investment each month to make it happen!
3.If you are prepared to put in part time hours say 15 hours a week and have mullah to invest it can start to happen in a couple of years ;
4. If you are very skilled at team building and personal recruitment a little quicker than two years!
5.If you want instant results there is not enough time in the day to make the system work for you.
6. If you have no funds to invest and want results within in a year or two then I would say that full time thirty five to forty hours per week for at least a year using every recommended tricks of the trade is the only way to go!
7. It is not the time that you spend that counts, but it is what you do during the time you spend in SFI, that counts.
8. You need at the very minimum 10-15 minutes to complete your red tabs! However, when you log in and complete your daily, weekly and monthly red tabs you will have accomplished this task at the very minimum!
9. This is reflected in your movers tab observed by your up line and he comes to know that you are a motivated and dedicated affiliate who is out there in SFI to achieve your set goals. Your benefit is that you will stay in your up line's mover tab and he/she will be more willing to provide his/her time to support you. Many of the affiliates don't even attempt to complete this one simple task.
10. But the most efficient method to earn a profitable business is through sponsoring and duplication! Your goal should be to become a great Team Leader to recruit more affiliates and spread knowledge; by helping your downline to duplicate, you will in turn earn even more money.
11. But when PSAs finally arrive you will have to dedicate time for them. You have to teach them everything you know, including the tricks of the trade secrets; with their success comes your success and there is no other way to build a profitable business. Therefore there is no fixed rule for the number hours spent in SFI!
12. Investing money in S-Builder, purchasing PSAs to Go,paying for Advertisements etc will surely speed up your business..
13. Therefore your answer depends on your budget. How much money can you invest on advertising and driving traffic to your referral personal gateways?
14.Well ,this is how I go about spending time in SFI web site;every Sunday I complete my daily and weekly tasks, if it is the first of the month, my monthly tasks also on my To-Do List. This includes sending out my group PSAs/CSAs mail and my stream messages. If I have new affiliates, I send individual welcome letters. I also play TC games and bid in PB auctions.
Remaining days of the week, I complete my daily tasks; do online advertisements using the marketing aid & banners of SFI and Tripleclicks in my personal blogs & websites.
It may take me from one hour to three hours or more,depending on how much work is there for me to do. 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 well.
15. To summarize, the number of hours /day/week spent on SFI differs from individual to individual for a profitable business. Hope my answer has conveyed some ideas about what you want to do and the level you want to reach in your business. Finally, I would advise you not to really bother about the time factor; time flies when you're having fun!

Hi Dhiraj,

This is one interesting question.

I really can not track my time when I am online on my SFI Business.
However I spend about 20-30 minutes (minimum) on the 'ASK SC' questions and answers.
'To-Do-List' 2 - 3 hours minimum again.

I have started this past few weeks to do 'ASK SC' first and the foremost the reason being when we log in our mind is fresh to take in most of the information there. I note down important ideas and suggestions and apply in my business.

Then I go to 'Alert' I check out the SFI News most of the time I have already read this in my e-mail as I am subscribed to SFI NEWS. So I may skip this here to get down to "Forum" check out few of these that is of my interest.
I log in at least twice a day morning and evening ( At this present time as I am writing, I just logged in at 7.30 am to check out my e-mail but it has led me to the SFI Center and I am still on it answering ASK SQ question and it is 12.17 pm because I have reviewed forum, my movers and visited TripleClicks and played some games and sent letters to support, and e-cards to my movers)
I check out the forum, contribute to unanswered question where possible and read and reply to others.

I get to my Daily To-Do-Task this is in the evening when I log in and do all that I have to do.
I check out my movers, my genealogy list send T-Mail and e-card where appropriate, Check out TripleClicks products, play games,purchase, advertise,

I let my heart do the talking for me. My feelings directs me to do more or less and do what I need to do for that moment. I do the most that I can do.
I sit on my computer in the evening at 5.00pm I may get off my computer at 8.30 pm sometimes it takes me 10.00 - 10.30 pm to finish my task.
I sometimes miss out on my favorite TV series and even TV News to get my work done.

It is not a matter of sat timing but as your hearts desire to do, leads you to do - you do.

You can sit as long as you want to do your task, navigation, advertising, learning or as little time as you want it is a matter of choice.
Advertising on line also takes time as you need to find/search appropriate sites to advertise. So I spend as much of my time as I can after all it is my business. To be successful you need to invest your time, have a desire to do and be consistent. Success will follow.
As it is said a farmer plants the seeds and waits for the harvest. It depends much on the farmer and upon what kind of seed planted to see the right harvest!
Have a great day.
Hope I have been of some help!

Hello there

First you have to ask yourself other questions before asking this one.
Do you wan't your business to grow fast and furious, and how much time are you able to invest in SFI?
If you have experience in online marketing and you are familiar with affiliate marketing then you already know the answer but since you asked it i will give my best to clarify how SFI works.

There are many ways to earn money on SFI. But the most efficient way is duplication = sponsoring = answer to your question. Your goal is to become great Team Leader = to recruit affiliates and spread knowledge. Help them to earn money = you will earn even more money.
New people are confused and skeptic but after some time doubt fades and people start to understand the program and it's potential. When you reach that level it is up to you.
Investing money will surley speed up your business. Participating in S-Builder, purcaching PSA's to Go, paying for ADS and so on.
Therefor your answer lies in your budget. How much money can you invest on advertising and driving traffic to your referal links. If you recruit 10 affiliates / day and for example only 1 becomes active you WILL HAVE TO INVEST your time for him/them. They are going to need full support from their sponsor. Some people need more time and training to become active and successful and some people need less time. So you will have to consider that too.

Every day complete your daily tasks = maximum 10 minutes.
Every day advertise as much as you can. There are many automatic systems and if you find the right ones you can setup them in few minutes and then with only 1 click you can start advertising. Those parts takes 20 minutes / day.
But when PSA's finnaly arives you will have to dedicate time for them. To teach them everything you know, no need to keep secrets, with their success comes your success and there is no other way to build a profitable business. Bottom line, everything is about you and there are no RULES how much time you have to spend. If i HAD to answer your question, my answer would be 2-3 hours minimum per day. But again, i used to spend hours with a single affiliate every day...and what about others?


Have a great day and good luck

In any profession or business, the more time you will devote, the more you will prosper. Same is true for SFI business also. However, if you want to prosper well in future, following time frame may be kept aside each day:

1. Completing daily / weekly / monthly action points including voting 30 numbers answers
for SC Ask question - 30 minutes.

2. Participating in Pricebender auction at least every fortnight – 3 hours. So per day, it
comes 6 minutes. If you add time of 30 minutes for daily participation in T-time as
much as possible plus one / two eagle zebra games, total time will be 36 minutes.

3. Motivational activities for down line through gift card / e-mail etc. – 15 minutes.

4. Advertising for sponsoring new affiliates – 30 minutes.

5. Reading new post on forums, posting reply on forums - 15 minutes.

So, total time taken is approximately 2 hours / per day. If you can devote this much time daily, success is yours and a great time ahead.

God bless you and wish you good luck.

In network marketing business like SFI, managing your time effectively is vital to your success. You need to think how you can accomplish more with your available time in a day to make your SFI business profitable. This doesn’t mean that you have to do many things at one time (multitasking). You’re going to feel overwhelm if you employ multitasking in your SFI business. Staying focused is a must if you’re to build a profitable SFI business.

In order to build a profitable business with SFI and invest the right amount of time, you’ll need to consider the following points:

- As an Entrepreneur/SFI business owner, you get paid for results, not the amount of time you spend for accomplishing a certain task. For example, you want to establish close relationship with your team as their Team Leader. You’ll be guiding and supporting them to duplicate your skill. You’ll be sending support messages, chatting online to address issues in navigating their SFI homepage and so on. The time will vary to fulfil this task alone. You’ll need to give them your time as long as they need until they understand. The time you’ll be spending in a day will depend on your goal. Even if you have set priorities in a daily basis, you’ll also need to allocate time for your logging in daily to perform your To-Do List. The key here is, you should manage your time effectively towards building your SFI business profitably.

- Ask a rule of thumb, set your goals for the day and week. Do your most leveraged activities and do not waste time on busy work that is not productive. Effective planning and time management go hand in hand for your success.

- In general, create a routine and system for everything you do (Performing To-Do List, Checking your Team mails, participating in Ask SC and SFI Forums, Pricebender Auctions, Eager Zebra games, etc). This is one of the most efficient time management strategies. By having a set routine, you’ll get things done faster.

- Check and reply to emails at the start and end of the day. If you constantly check email throughout the day, you’ll be spending valuable time unnecessarily and it’s being unproductive.

- Allocate time to connect with your prospects. You must get on the phone with people to expose them to your business, product or services. Have a set time for doing this activity every day.

- Be sure to schedule quality time with your family and friends. Remember, they are your warm market and they might be a big help in referring your SFI business.

- Allocate time to focus on one or two marketing strategies. Go to the Marketing Center, learn and acquire the skills of applying the different marketing methods. Master a strategy before moving on to the next one.

- Set a schedule and stick with it. It will help you create the habits you need to be successful. You won’t have to think about the things you need to do, you will just do them.

A very useful query indeed concerning people who are hard-pressed for time.

The allocation of time and money entirely depends upon one's interest and thirst for his personal success, growth and prosperity in SFI. Moreover people often get doubt about how much time one should spend on advertising/marketing and sponsoring/duplicating. All this, to a larger extent, depends upon the person's interest, psychological bent or inclination.

A bare minimum of 15 minutes is needed daily, round the year for clicking the much needed 10 red buttons and score those 10 versapoints. Then if one is inclined to spend his chosen time in advertising,marketing and selling various tripleclicks products and services he can spend his chosen span of time for it. Else he can paste his own various gateways or links on the websites of various existing companies or free websites - which will be viewed by prospective visitors, later on may become SFI/tripleclicks customers as well. Another activity is to refer various ECAs to the tripleclicks and earn the stipulated commissions and royalty periodically forever.

On the other hand, if one is very good at communication, leadership and training, then he can spend his invaluable time by procuring CSAs and PSAs from the SFI else he can directly approach his friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors, acquaintances and other societal members to register themselves under his URL/team. Once this is done, he has to concentrate on training each and every joined individual very patiently until they are fit to manage on their own.
More importantly he has to explain the points mentioned in SFI basics and ultra-simple three steps prescribed by the Founder Mr. Gery Carson to all the registered individuals.

In the ultimate analysis, it can said that the allocation of time and money hugely depends upon the personal interest and choice of every member affiliate.

The answer to this question varies from people to people.

It depends on what you would consider 'a profitable business' and what you want to get out of SFI. Some people a quite happy just being an Executive Affiliate while others strive for higher levels and bigger payouts.

Then there is the question of the amount of time you spend. I think it really depends on how you use that time of 1 hour or 7 hours.

It also depends on your other skills and abilities such as time management skills, business skills etc..

I would say that the minimum actions you should do daily are these:
- Action your 'To-Do-Lists'
- Sponsoring activities : emails, tips etc..
- Promotions: recruiting affiliates and TC members / selling

How long it takes you to take action in these areas and how profitable you want your business to be will determine how much time a day you should invest in your business.
