Hi Ana,

When I joined SFI, I didn't have too much money. I promoted my gateway links and posted what I thought were good ads on online ad sites. About one month later I started my Tcredits 125 Pack Standing Order (SO.)

I think advertising and having a SO are important, however, I can advertise for free (and I pay) while my SO costs me money.

If I have to choose one over the other, I wouldn't. If you were the size of a monster and if you threatened to break my legs,

Hello Ana
I believe this should be choice based on your own strengths.

If you know you are a strong team leader and have the knowledge to create great advertisements you should concentrate on advertising.

If you have good in-demand products to sell you should concentrate on your ECA business.

The proceeds from either of these activities will help the other.

You can use funds generated from your SFI business for your ECA qualification or you can use

When starting out in SFI it is better to purchase for EA qualifying and at the same time we should try our level best for advertise oue business whether it is free one or by investing because in every business advertising play an important role that is why according to me both is important for SFI if we can not achieve our EA rank than it is not possible for us to survive in SFI and if we can not having even EA rank than there is no use of our advertisement because if someone ask you about your business

Thank you for your question!

Well on the SFI basic duplication is one of the basic point to advance in building your SFI business. BY advertising you are getting the word out there about your business wanting to attract prospect to your team because having a working team can boost your business. With Purchases of 1500 orr more vp products to qualify each month is also a point for advancement.

I will encourage you to do both and see you advance and grow your business

Hi..great question.

When I started I did both. Invest in S-builder and 100 T Credits This way you can build your down-line using S-builder and make it to EA every month put both on SO.

You will still have to work to get some action points but it is a low cost way to build.


I hope this helps have a great day with much success.

Hello,
Actually both, you can advertise at the same time earn your VPoints to qualify for EA.
For me I have used and purchased from my Triple Clicks site ECA'S that offer advertising while I earned VPoints. So it is a win win situation. When you start out in SFI, it's good to following the training. Plus they guide you to becoming successful. If you focus on both and achieve your goal then you are on your way. Having a standing order that earns you points monthly is a great start every

The simple answer is yes. If you have the money, invest in both advertising and in an EA qualifying purchase. If your resources are limited, I would suggest that you create a standing order for EA status first so you can get a share of the TripleClicks Executive Pool every month. With a share from the executive pool, you can start saving your commissions so you can build a reserve for covering expenses during slower months.

It's an interesting question because of how much off purpose it proposes. The suggestion is that for some reason one would have only resources for one or the other of two vital and necessary
elements of the SFI process. So, I would say: change Your thinking! You Must have EA status to get on with earning and retaining CSA's, and You Must have advertising to keep the ongoing recruiting ongoing!
Don't confuse Yourself, Both elements are Required.

Whatever you do, you should become EA every month. So, it's better to invest in EA-qualifying purchase. Otherwise you won't have anything to adverse toward JMT gateway and nothing to show as example to your downline. And of course if you aren't EA, you want receive commission and new CSA and also you won't seem serious about becoming an active businessperson, who can coach others.

I think both investments in advertising and an EA purchase are important. In my view, its a nice start to make Standing Orders for 125 TCredits and S-BUILDER CO-OP to be EA and then calmly to go on making duplication through all other means of advertising that one can find in red and black tabs of the affiliate page and elsewhere including social networks friends and relatives and what not.
I wish you the greatest success.
