Zoran;

You can certainly be successful without investing any money. That is one of SFI's founding principles and I'm not sure how many times I've heard Gery Carson say the same thing in the forum. To achieve success without investing money though, you have to be willing to spend something even more valuable than cash and that is your time.

Investing money just makes becoming successful quicker but the action and thoughts you put in are much more important towards your advancement that the money is. I suggest in fact that the people who invest money but ultimately fail at SFI do not succeed because they were unwilling or unable to sufficiently invest their time and efforts.

I hope that sufficiently addresses the first part of your query. Here is the second.

There are many methods you can use to be successful that don't require money. You can find these listed under your marketing center tab - https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods

This is actually one of those occasions where it's easier to say what you can't do. Without the money to invest, you can't pay for advertising, you can't buy affiliates and you are unable to supply monetary perks like gift cards. Do you suppose those are absolutely critical to your business? I say they are not.

1. You can't buy advertizing in the form of pay per click, pay per impression or even rent spaces for ad placements but you CAN spread your business message with word of mouth and there are innumerable spots where free advertising can be obtained. Just putting your gateway link is a form of word of mouth advertising and word of mouth is the MOST EFFECTIVE advertising of all.

2. You can't buy PSA's to go to CSA's to go without spending money but those require your time to cultivate them too and if you don't bring those purchased affiliates along then they are just wasted anyways. Are you understanding now why I suggest that your time is worth more than your money is anyways?

3. You also can't supply perks or monetary incentives like gift cards, complementary ad coop inclusion or even T-credits without spending on them first. Those really aren't the deal breaker towards your success. In lieu of monetary rewards or a place on an s-builder, you can offer better and more well researched advice instead. Hey. Be a super-supportive sponsor for your affiliates and maybe some will give you a gift card back in a show of appreciation.

But when you begin having your success in SFI through your determination and dedication, then you will have the money that has come in reward for your efforts.

Cheers and best of fortune with your business,

Reaching 1500 VP in your first month is easy due to many one-time actions such as liking Facebook pages, uploading a profile pic, placing a banner on blogs, reading articles, answering quizzes and generally setting up your account. These are Action VP or AVP. The bulk of the AVP are in one-time actions but there are also daily, weekly and monthly actions.

But in the second month it can be quite difficult to achieve 1500 VP without:

(a) An active downline
(b) An active Standing Order (SO)
(c) Selling products from the super store

Since there are no more one-time actions (probably all used up in month 1) you have to rely on specific actions that focus on sales and team-building. There are a couple one-time actions that won't apply until later in your business development but here are the main actions you will be looking at in month 2.

You get more AVP (100-600) for each referral who reaches EA2 or higher and also you get Sales VP or SVP when you or anyone you refer purchase from the super store. It is encouraged to setup the SO to automate your minimum SVP but also to get 100 AVP for any SO worth 1500 SVP or more.

However most persons do not have money to purchase or don't know how to sell or know how to recruit. This discouragement is what is met in any online business or opportunity:

1. Do I have money to support this or invest in this?
2. Do I have the skill to sell this to others to join me and put their money where they see fit?

That is why I also encourage that you read ALL info that you get in month 1 so that you will be CONFIDENT in month 2 and answer YES and YES!

About the money here is the cut-and-dried approach: Invest in your business, where you see the value and profitability of your spend. As you can see at month 2 investing in an SO has value of maintaining an EA2 or higher status for more benefits for your business, such as co-op manager, downline mailer, re-assignment manager, IM system, cash bonuses, cash shares, team spill-over shares, etc, etc.

Source for Money? Some at this very moment may have no money at all. Do this:

1. Ask family or friends for loan or advance to invest in your online business
2. Set aside money from your offline job
3. Get a job!
4. Do simple online jobs to make at least the minimum investment you want to make

It is possible to be successful in SFI without investing any money through hard work, focus, patience, determined and creative. Through intensive sponsoring and duplication, I must have an active team with at least 5 EA2s to contribute to my AVPs monthly(500 AVPs). The first month I can easily have 5 EAs if my 5 PSAs are active to be EAs.
In the 2nd month they will be my EA2s.
I will earn commission from their purchases and Matching Points in the Executive Pool.

Promote my websites in free and classified social media to recruit new PSAs
Advise all team members(CSAs and PSAs) to do the same.

Log in daily to do the daily, weekly, monthly and intermediate tasks for free AVPs.

Participate in free games, t-time, daily grand, etc to win free vps, PSAs, CSAs, MRPs, AVPs etc.

As my team grows bigger and active, my monthly earning increases.As from the first month onwards, I have substantial income to subscribe to Standing Order(125 tcredits, S-Builder) which can contribute minimum 1500 vps. to maintain my EA2 or even can make me a TL. Practically, I don't have to put a single cent into my SFI business.

Starting with a good foundation and everything will go smoothly. Emphasize on sales and recruitment which are the cores of the SFI business.

Zoran,

This is a good question to ask and there are can be so many opinions about this. To answer your question objectively, you can be successful in SFI without investing any money .

How to do it, of course would require you to have patience and work very hard to build your business to where it is profitable for you. Yes, it is going to take you a much longer and slower time, if you do it this way. You would have to study, read a lot, sign up a lot of Affiliates and understand SFI from all levels, if this is what you want.

SFI is so unique and so simple to work that it really flies right over the heads of most people. So many get in this business and wont take the time to understand it. They complicate things and get frustrated when things don't work and simply quit, give up or opt out.

It is true that SFI is free to join and you are not obligated to buy or purchase anything. Your training. and everything you need is already here for you if you are willing to apply yourself and follow instructions.

Hope this answer helps you....

I would say that you could be. If you have a good advertising network or the know how to advertise to certain niche's to get the most exposure.

Your main focus would have to be promoting the products of TripleClicks, getting the message out to individuals or businesses about SFI's ECA program and referring individuals to the TripleClick store to purchase items.

Connect with the ECA's that have products that interest you and find others that are interested in the same product.

You would need to stay vigilante and dedicated to advertising the necessary gateways that you are given for selling and advertising products from TripleClicks. Log in daily to complete all of the necessary tasks.

As it is said in the beginning when someone joins us in SFI, this is not a get rich quick scheme. We most definitely need to invest time. Investment of money does help to gain the next level quicker, however the opportunity is there to move up without investment of money. This direction might take longer than the other.

I hope this helps. I wish you the best of success.

Yes, of course!
Just for success needs a lot of work, patience and motivation.
On the Internet we all available in the free version
Free website
free ad
Free advertising
Free forums
Social networks
SFI has given us all the tools for free
...
But it takes time, a lot of time and work, perseverance and patience to succeed.
Daily is necessary to install thousands of ads, promote SFI and TC at all free to reach places. Advertise to all places in the local community, verbally promote your business meetings with people ...
It is necessary to make a team and establish a sale with TV. When we reach a certain commission from the team and the TC have earnings, initially small and is best used for maintenance of the status and paid ads ..... then moves avalanche of success and then moving actual earnings.
How long for real success, I think it is for each of us differently. Someone is more valuable, someone is creative, is a strategically stronger and some simply have luck !!!


Good luck to you (it is always necessary) and successful work!

Hi Zoran

I think the real question would be "Can I be sucessful without investing any money up front? And if so, how?" The reason why i say this is because I believe most people don't mind investing money in their business. But they just don't have much, if any, especially if they are just starting.

I believe that the answer to your question is yes. We have everything we need to start SFI for free. Products to sell, gateways, a website, even training material and ways to advertise for free.

I believe that if we use these tools and add patience, persistience, and determination.I believe anyone can be sucessful.

Once we start earn money we then have money we can start investing into our SFI business.

Hello Zoran,
This is a very important question.. Simply I can say yes.. Here I prepared one example of how to be successful in SFI without investing any money..

1- Log daily into SFI and press the red buttons of To- Do- Lists after reading the information to get 11 VP. You can get 330VP every month. In some months of 31 days, you can get 341VP.
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list

2- Do the weekly actions every week and get 38VP every week or 152VP every month.
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list

3- Do the monthly actions at the beginning of the month and get 15VP.
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list

4- Now you gather 497 and you still need 1003VP
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=scoreboard

5- Recruit two people and let them advance to EA2 and get 100VP for each.. 200VP for both of them . Now you have 697VP.
https://www.sfimg.com/Training/SponsoringTraining

6- Sell a product at SFI that you can get 300VP at least. Now you have about 997VP.
https://www.tripleclicks.com/indexProducts.php

7- Now you have 997VP and you still need 503VP.. Buy a product that you need from TripleClicks instead from other places. Despite you pay some money here but you always do this purchase.. If you don’t want to buy any product then try to work very hard to sell two products.
https://www.tripleclicks.com/indexProducts.php

8- Now you have 1500 VP and you become Executive Affiliate.

Hi Zoran,
1. Yes, its possible if I follow the steps mentioned below, in a systematic way:-
a) Simple SFI basics url: www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics.
b) The three “P”s viz. Persistence, Perseverance & Patience
c) Basic fundamentals of SFI.-i)Sponsor a minimum of 5 Affiliates, ii)Train, guide teach them to become EA-2 & duplicate them
and finally iii) Ask them to repeat the process. This will result in an effective chain of duplication at different levels that will fetch me more VPs which in turn will earn me more commission, thereby making my business progress & become successful .
d) Develop an active team of at least 5EA-2’s which will contribute 500 AVPs on a monthly basis.
e) Moreover, I will earn commission from their purchases and Matching Points in the Executive Pool.
f) Advise all team members to do the same. This is known as Team Building.
g) Log in daily to perform the daily, weekly, monthly and intermediate tasks for free AVPs.
h) I would participate in free games like T-time, Daily Grand,Daily Crown etc to win free PSAs, CSAs, MRPs, AVPs etc.
j) As my team grows bigger and active, my monthly earning correspondingly increases.
k) l) By advertising/marketing for recruitment of PSAs using free sites.
l) Enlisting ECAs from my neighborhood.
m)In the initial first two months it is possible to collect1500 VPs which is the minimum
requirement to become an EA and retain the same;
n)In the normal course ,from the 3rd month onwards , you need to spend some money to earn sufficient VP to retain your EA status; however, this can be avoided or kept at minimum, provided you meet the following tasks diligently & faithfully:-
i) During the first two months itself, you form a team comprising of sufficient number of active PSAs who become/continue as an EA or above every month;
ii) Plan and carry out “Transfer Buying” of your house hold requirements like toiletry,cosmetics,housekeeping materials /items etc.
every month. This way you can usefully cover your home requirements as well as earn VP without spending money separately;
iii) Refer as many as your friends,family members,office colleagues,neighbours etc to the TC store (PRMs), who will abide by the rules of TC & buy TC products regularly.If they are regular,then you can earn more SVPs rewarding yourself with more commission.
iv) Procure license for setting up your own ECA for selling your products, which will earn you income & commission from SFI
2. To put it in a nutshell, it is practically possible to earn more commission from a successful business in SFI without investing any money, through hard work, focus, patience, determination and creative instinct. Finally, the trade secret is that by intensive sponsoring and duplication I can develop an active team with at least 5 EA2s!

Hello Goran,

This is an interesting question since SFI offers FREE membership to it's affiliates
.
It's true every business need investment funds, but SFI is a unique business on it's own. Being unique in the sense that one can become successful in SFI without investing any money. This is because SFI provides all the necessary tools for one to succeed, and success in SFI is can come through sponsoring new affiliates. Also we must not forget the fact that becoming an SFI member automatically makes you a Tripleclicks member. What this means is that you now own an online store with over 80,000 products to sell and make commissions from. This is unlike a traditional business where you need capital to purchase goods or services before you can sell or market them.

Therefore in view of the above points: sponsoring new affiliates and selling of Tripleclicks products, we can boldly say that one can become successful in sfi without investing any money. Nevertheless this depends on an individual's determination to succeed.
