First, I want to commend you for establishing a plan for 1 hour a day and $50 per month. This is a great starting point towards building your SFI business. I strongly believe your plan, along with the different answers from other affiliates, will become a talking point when prospecting new members.

There are many different ways to approach your question based on the given parameters. I believe the choices made come down to individual desires/goals. Overall, there will be no wrong answer to your question. Whatever you decide to do, you will be moving towards building your SFI business.

Here is one perspective on how to budget your money and time.

I understand you have a $50 budget each month for building your business and I think that is outstanding. I ran through a few scenarios and came up with this course of action that would maximize your budget. However, there is a small catch. You would need to come up with 1 more dollar a month. I realize there could be implications with this small suggestion but here is how it would benefit you.

A Standing Order (SO) makes the most sense in staying qualified as an Executive Affiliate (EA) and keeping your business on track. With $51 a month, you could establish a SO for a 100-pack of T-Credits ($29.00) and a S-Builder Co-op ($22.00 discounted due to SO). If we look at the Versa Points (VP) for each one, that’s 1200 VP for the T-Credits and 280 VP for the S-Builder Co-op for a total of 1480 VP. We all know you need 1500 VP to qualify as EA so the additional 20 VP would be made up with items from your daily To-Do list. Bottom line, the T-Credits would give you options for auctions and Eager Zebra games to build your Versa Points (VP) (and have a little fun) while the S-Builder Co-op would be working to build your team.

As far as the 1 hour you have available each day, here are some thoughts. Of course you would need to complete your To-Do list everyday which should take about 10-15 minutes. And the following actions could be accomplished daily or on alternate days depending how much time you want/need to spend on each. The key would be to have some flexibility with your time or be able to adjust as necessary to complete priority actions and stay within your scheduled time frame. Things to accomplish: spend a few minutes each day learning something new about SFI and TripleClicks; review the training available on how to build your business; revisit your “Why” reason and fine tune your goals as necessary; promote your SFI business through online marketing, advertising, blogs and social media; send a Team email to your PSAs/CSAs; play a game or two.

Thank you for asking this thought provoking question.

You want to grow your SFI business by investing an hour a day and a monthly budget of $50. How do you get the most out of your limited time and financial investments to grow your SFI business?

By developing your business strategic plan, you can get the most out of your limited time and financial investments in growing your SFI business.

What kind of activities you should focus on with your limited time and budget yet still ensuring the growth of your SFI business?

- Maintain your EA status
As per Benefits Chart, real payouts and perks start by becoming an EA. You won’t be able to advance into a Team Leader position without maintaining your EA status. Because you want to grow your SFI business, you should not be just maintaining your EA status, but moving up to the TL rank to earn higher commissions to re-invest to activities that drive the momentum and growth of your SFI business.

Ways to become and maintain your EA status:

With your monthly budget of $50, your best option would be to purchase a share of S-Builder Co-op as a Standing Order (SO) for $22 and get 280 VP and 5 MRP. This is one of the most economical ways to build your SFI business. By doing this, you’ll initiate your team building, save money and time as well.

Another good investment is by purchasing 50 packs of TCredits set up as SO for $19.50 and get 694 VP and 11 MRP. Additionally, you can purchase 4 times 1 TCredit for $ 1.89 (SO) and get 4 x 102 VP and 4 times 5 MRP. You can use your T-Credits to participate in Pricebenders auctions, play EZ games and earn action VPs towards maintaining/advancing your rank. You can also accumulate your MRPs and use them to redeem products to build your SFI business.

With S-Builder ($22) and TCredits ($19.50 + $7.56 = $27.06), you’ll be investing $49.06, which is well within your budget and accumulate 1376 VP. By all means you should take advantage of all the free AVPs (daily, weekly, monthly To-Do List, etc.) to help you fulfill the rest of your VP requirement.

- To ensure the growth of your SFI business, you need to focus on building your network.

When you expand your network, you increase your income potential. How are you going to do this with your limited time of an hour a day? You’ll need to be strictly managing your time and effectively spend your budget to encourage gradual growth in your SFI business.

As discussed above, you save time and money with your customized budget, so that you can spend your precious time on focussing activities that helps drive and maintain the momentum and growth of your SFI business by doing the following:

1. Allocate time to widen your knowledge base – you need to get the most out of SFI tools and resources. Educate yourself and learn to apply SFI tools and resources extensively to continuously drive the growth of your SFI business.

2. Concentrate on the Training and Marketing tabs.

This will give you the advantage of effectively training and supporting your downline later on. Take one topic at a time. Learn to generate your own leads, how to build high traffic, how to become an awesome sponsor, etc.

3. Read SFI news updates for latest innovation and participate in SFI Forum, Ask SC, Pricebenders auctions and EZ games.

Even with your limited time and budget, you can grow your SFI business by setting up your own business strategic plan. Managing your resources effectively and focussing on activities, which are directly connected to the development and growth of your SFI business will help you achieve your goal.

I have one hour daily and a monthly budget of $50,00, What activities should I do to grow my SFI business?

WOW! How lucky your sponsor is to have someone prepared to spend time (daily) and money on their SFI business!

Let me say that I think your commitment IS enough to start building your SFI business. So, what do I advice?

First the money:

1. Don’t muck around – purchase 1 pack of 125 TCredits as early in the month as you can. The cost is $36.25. You earn 1,500 VersaPoints (VP) with your purchase. That will make you an Executive Affiliate (EA) each month. Great! You CAN now receive commissions, you will take part in the Executive Pool (EP) and you will start building your team – with 2 FREE CSAs. TCredits ARE the most useful first purchase to make in SFI (in my opinion).
2. Moreover, put the 1 pack of 125 TCredits in a Standard Order (SO). That way you will get them EVERY month AND you will earn 100 Action VersaPoints (AVP) for doing so. That will help you progress to Bronze Team Leader (BTL) which you should now seriously AIM for as your next goal.
3. TCredits are SO useful and 125 is quite a useful number. I would suggest that you use these predominately to bid on Pricebender Auctions. Each bid will cost you 1 TCredit but you will earn 1 AVP and either 5 or 10 Member Rewards Points (MRP).
4. What to bid on? I would probably concentrate on PSAs and TCredit auctions. If you win PSAs, that will grow your team. And if you win TCredits you can use those for more bids, or for Eager Zebra games (EZ) or any other purpose.
5. The balance of your $50.00 budget - $13.75 - I would hold onto and use to pay for the auctions that you win.

Second “One Hour Daily”:

I recommend that you spend your time wisely first to learn as much about SFI as possible and to keep up to date and to earn ALL the free daily, weekly and monthly AVP that are available to you.

So, read ALL the emails carefully that SFI will send you, and login each day and complete ALL the TABs on your SFI Homepage and ALL the actions in you “To-Do” List.

I think it’s great that you are prepared to devote one hour a day to SFI BUT I think that, as you get into SFI a bit more, we will become so engrossed in SFI that you will decide to spend more time in your SFI business. Really, one hour per day is not enough – but it is a very good start.

May I wish you all the best in your SFI business.

There are two very important things we need to consider when we have joined SFI and TripleClicks as our home business.

Those two things are brought to us through one word; “investment.” If there is no investment there is no business. The two things are – investing time and investing capital (money). They go hand in hand and cannot be separated – you will not succeed without some kind of “financial” investment and this business will not work by itself so you also need to make a “time” investment.

Already some people will argue that you can build a business with SFI and TripleClicks without money. Well this is true to a point. But somewhere in your building activities you are going to have to invest money. Now that can come from your own pocket or it can come from leveraged money raised (re-investing) through your team-building and through sales of TripleClicks products.

If you can allow 1 hour a day for building your business you will have ample time to cover all the daily, weekly and monthly activities (to-do’s) and still have a little time left over in which you can spend by doing some advertising and/or reading and learning more about SFI and TripleClicks.

As your business grows you may find that one hour a day just isn’t enough to cover all you may need to do. When you reach that point you may have to make a budget for your time and squeeze some more time for your personal business activities.

When investing your own money and using $50 per month. I would recommend putting a unit of S-Builder on as a standing order. This will run you a cost of only $22 a month. The reason for S-Builder is so you can be adding new affiliates to your group without the need to advertise if you don’t have the time to do it yourself.

The next item I would purchase on a standing order would be a 100 pack of TCredits. This will cost $29 as a standing order. If you can afford a $50 investment every month then I know you can skip a treat or two and move you budget up by only $1 more. This way you will have TCredits to perform a lot of the activities you will need to do for gaining action VersaPoints.

You can always adjust your purchases and time investments according to your growth in SFI and how fast you wish to advance. There are no “set in stone” methods of spending or on time to build your business. It is your business and you are in complete control of it so adjust things as needed according to what your plans for the future is.

As you are clear about two aspects that help you grow your business, that is time and money, you should focus on planning your strategy to get the maximum benefit out of it. Have the tasks separated out, that you do when you are logged in and those that can be done without being online.

When Online

1. First and foremost, complete your daily tasks and collect VP from each tab and play games to qualify you self for Daily Grand, Daily Crown and E365 contest.

2. Make an entry in T Time for the hour.

3. Have a standing order running to grow your team either through S Builder or make a purchase of PSAs initially and spend some time welcoming and providing training and tips pertaining to their growth.

4. Buy some T credits, preferably a pack of 50 to explore various opportunities offered at Tripleclicks. Your two purchases of team building product and T Credits would fit into your budget.

5. Observe PB auctions to get the feel of it. Understand its functioning and how people win the products for such discounted price. Thereafter, try bidding in micro auctions to win T credits, PSAs, CSAs as they fit into your time frame. Rarely would they last for more than an hour.

6. Try and advertise for your business or post on social media or send mailers as you find convenient to cover the growth aspect of your business.

7. Provide some time to read a new topic daily from the training centre or other available sources to grow your business. Implement them as and when you find the time to do it.

When Offline

1. When you are away try promoting SFI through Gift cards, distributing TC Cards, X cards and any other way that suits best for you. You can leave them (with your URL) in the taxi you hire, store you patronize, restaurant you go or gas station you frequent.

2. Be a Fast track member. Wear your lapel pin where ever you go to let people ask about it. It can be an easy way to start conversation and get your team expanding.

3. As your commissions get accumulated, you can order for SFI T Shirt and Cap that can be worn at various events be it sports meet or on morning and evening walk around the park (Just some options, it can be anywhere you are comfortable wearing it).

These above listed points if followed religiously would set a sound pace for the growth of your business. You are the owner of your business and responsible for your success. Enjoy and cherish every moment of it.

One hour daily...
Budget $50 per month..

Ok, please consider yourself lucky and you've got the right place with SFI.

SFI has prepared the Infrastructure to make things happen for everyone from every level.

In your case, with a $50 a month.
This affordability qualifies you as EA2 every month once you maintain purchasing TCredits 125 for $36.25 on a Standing Order.

But if you are really serious to drive your SFI business towards success.., Why stop there..?

I've got TIPs...
Try push a little bit more effort to put aside at least a $10 more...
Here's why ?
Having TCredits 125 on the first 10 days of each month will automatically qualifies you an EA2 for $36.25, but with just an additional $22 more, also on a Standing Order will auto sponsoring you with more PSA shares under SFI marketing co-op group. That's a total of $58.25 every month.
An additional of $8.25

Already an EA2, now we need to build team.

Now the last TIPs..
Work well with your Sponsor.. Why ?
His position as your Sponsor holds capability to help guide and train your team up..while you are away and busy..

I need to say this again..
Work well with your Sponsor..
He can view your team from his Genealogy and his Genealogy mail reaches your downline..
So work well with your Sponsor and tell him your problems. I am sure he agrees as a team because you maintain as an active member who contributes every month..
You are Great..!

Now, for that 1 hour a day..
Starting up period, may need you to learn and understand your SFI and TripleClicks well. So use your 1 hour learning and exploring.

There are sure to be times that you get stuck with your busy activity and can't log in. Well.. its all been taken care of with your Sponsor's help. I dont think you need more vps from SFI homepage when actually, 1 hour a day isn't enough to work your business up. Someone has to guide your Team Affiliates into the right direction, so, do spare some time communicating with your team when time permits. They are as important as collecting more daily vps.

Hey.. you're already an EA2 with 1500 vps.
You need time for your team too, and do say thanks to your Sponsor..

In SFI, we learn to be an Awesome Sponsor.

Because of your limited daily time, you will need to stay absolutely focused on your business and what you set out to achieve each day. Don’t allow yourself to be side tracked by anything.

For that one hour, I would suggest that you use say 40 minutes to read all the news letters from SFI and action your ‘to-do-lists’ and contacting your team members. To me these are the absolute minimum.

For the remaining 20 minutes, spend this on advertising. If you are not recruiting your business growth will be stunted. Recruit both PSAs and TC members and promote TC products and services etc.. If you recruit PRMs chances are your monthly budget will grow with purchases they make as well as gaining additional VPs.
I would suggest that you use the free advertising readily available on the internet. Despite what is commonly said, free advertising actually does work.

For your budget of $50, I would recommend that you use it to purchase TCredits (50 TC pack ?) and PSAs to Go or S Builder units. I personally prefer S Builders as that also enables me to take advantage of the PSA to Go special offer.

If you have a few spare minutes, use this for your own training and personal development – revisit the Launchpad lessons, refresh on the SFI Basics, visit the Forum and Ask SC etc.. Do this say this week and then next week do some marketing research, planning or other activities that will ensure that your SFI business will continue to grow.

Hi Mohammed
If i were in your shoes, i will concentrate on what can yield me sales.
2. I will concentrate or set up what can create a residual income for me.
3. I will concentrate on activities that can yield returns on my investment plus maintain my rank.
So with the above goals, i will concentrate my energy on investing less covering more. What do i do?
1. I set up goals for myself on what i want done
2. I strategize on how to get it done.
With this mind, i purchase the following:
1. A T100 SO worth $29
2. Advertize my gateway on a paid advertising agency/ TE website for $10
3. Purchase a Tripleclicks T shirt that i can use to recruit PRMs and ECAs offline $11.
This way i cover all aspect of my SFI business.
After, i do my daily, weekly and monthly actions to cover for the remaining 300vp.
Secondly, i play the PTP, DG and the PB auctions. The auction i will go for will be the micro auctions e.g the 10 Pack Tcredit because it ends in few minutes and i don't have long hours to play the long auctions
At the end of the day, i have covered my whole SFI business.
Do the same and your day will be made too. Then i can attend to other important matters.

With such a limited amount of time and money, you must be very careful about how you use them both. It takes me about a half hour to do my daily actions, which includes reading the Ask SC answers, but not play any games or participate in auctions. This leaves a half hour in which you can advertise, play games, participate in auctions, write in your blog or Facebook page and write to your team.

I suggest changing the way you spend that second half hour each day, so as to give you opportunity to do some of everything each week. For example, you could plan to write an article for your FB page every Monday, spend a half hour posting ads on Tuesday, send your team mailout every Wednesday, another half hour of posting ads on Thursday, and maybe picking an auction and participating in it on Friday. Perhaps you could spend a little more time on the weekend studying the rules of success and the internet marketing lessons, and or in time developing a website or blog.

Maybe you could also grab a few extra minutes at different times throughout the day. I enter the T-Time draw every hour by setting my phone alarm to go off every 2 hours. I start at 5:55, then 7:55, 9:55 etc. When it goes off at 5 minutes to the hour, I hit the snooze button which is set for 5 minutes. I enter the draw for that hour and in 5 minutes the alarm will go off again and then I enter the next draw. Sometimes I do some of my daily actions or read an Ask SC answer in the 5 minute interval. Doing this doesn't take long or intrude much into the day, but it ensures I am always in the T-Time draw, and this is a great source of TCredits for me. If you don't have time to play the games, you can still get your VP for the game entry, but not playing. I sometimes do this if I'm rushed, but it's not much fun!
Likewise you can enter a PB auction when you do your daily actions, but you must only make 1 bid and not be tempted to stay. This 1 bid will get you 2 VP.

Now for the $50. If I had $50 per month to invest, I'd vary it each month also. You can set up a standing order for $36.25 for 125 TCredits for one month, and use the remainder of the money either making a purchase from TripleClicks or buying advertising. On another month you could buy 2 units of SBuilder co-op. This will cost you $44.00, but only gain you 560VP. However this is a good way to begin to grow your team. Possibly you could do a combination of 100 TCredits for $29 and 1 unit of SBuilder. This will cost you $51. Standing Orders can be changed, so you could swap them around as you desired. These are my best suggestions for your $50.

I hope my ideas may be a help to you.

I would suggest an SO of at least 100 TCs (1200 SVPs), and another $21US to equal 300 SVPs or more. Or 50 TCs, with some PSAs to Go, or S-Builder Unit. One should try to have at least 1500 SVP Standing Order to guarantee themselves EA2 monthly. Some TCredits are needed to gain the AVP from playing games, bidding auctions daily. These AVPs are also needed if one wants to be a team leader.

During your available hour, clear red tabs, play a game or two (Time Machine, Pick the Price...), and place at least 1 bid for 1AVP/day.

With such short time available, one would need a means of gaining PSAs without spending the time or money to advertise. That is why I think S-Builder Unit(s), or PSAs to Go would be a good choice for team building. You will need to find time within the hour to communicate with these new PSAs, though.

One hour and strictly only $50 is a pretty tough way to go, but it CAN be done. It will just take a little longer:))...
