The first 2 or 3 months on SFI is mostly for training such as learning the basics and accumulating your first 1500 VP by completing the getting started actions and the Launchpad lessons so during these three months you chould save up some money to have a Standing Order of 125 TCredits and then SBuilder because one share is only $22.00 a month and in the next few weeks or months PSA and TC members start flooding in. I cannot tell you how many shares but I recommend one share on the SO but if you can afford it then you could buy more shares as a one time purchase. Then with this you can buy the PSA to Go Special of $1.99 each sign up.
I personally suggest that you take your time to learn all you need to know about being an awesome sponsor and also how to do your own advertising before you start purchasing and also you have to take time to see the different ECA's that sell PSA and check out prices and also customer reviews before buying. Your budget is also very important because your weekly or monthly paycheck is important for your bills and other expenses so at this point in time I wouldn't buy any sign ups and instead I would suggest you make a plan after checking out the PSA packs sold in the TC store in order to know how much money to save for both SO and one time purchases.
The first thing you need to do after getting your first 1500 VP and becoming an EA2 the second month is to contact your upline starting with your sponsor and then co sponsor then the rest of your upline to see if they have an advertising coop here on SFI or another SFI coop that they created personally to see if they can add you and get sign ups which can save you money in the first months, you can also ask your sponsor if it is possible to reassign some PSA to you.
In short I recommend that you get started with SBuilder on maybe the 2nd or the 3rd month as a SO so that you can get sign ups because you are in the process of learning how to advertise and it will take time for you to learn and also for free advertising to get sign ups so SBuilder is an easy way. Then while I wait for this to give me sign ups I would purchase maybe 10 affiliates from PSA to go for $1.99 each.
Good Luck
