I'll keep my answer simple. Allow as much time as it takes.

In my experience... whenever someone puts a timeline on success, it usually results in a deadline for failure. I've tested this in the past, if they say they'll try it for a year... they're gone in 6 months.

If they say 6 months, they're gone in 3. If they say 1 month, in 2 weeks they are inactive.

Time won't produce income... Effort WILL!

As a Team Leader in SFI you will get a few new teammates that will ask you, “When can I expect to start earning money or? Or what do I have to do to earn money quickly?”

The best answer that can be given to your new affiliates is; you can start earning money from the very first day of being enrolled in SFI and it can be done without spending a dime. Find a product in TripleClicks that you like and that you know a few other friends or relatives would like and sell them the products.

What I mentioned above is the fastest way to start earning money but to build a good monthly “income” it is going to take a little time to get it started. And this monthly income is best acquired through what we call “Team Building.”

What must be realized is that building a team does take a lot of hard and consistent work. And it is not going to happen overnight or within the first 6 months or more. A good solid income has been built by SFI affiliates within 2 to 5 years.

There are a lot of factors that control how fast you can build a substantial income.

• How much time can you commit to building your team?
• How much money can you invest to get things moving quicker?
• How good are you at motivating people to “duplicate” what you are doing?
• How fast can you learn new things?
• How much passion and determination can you generate to reach your goals?
• Are you willing to stick it out say 2 or 3 years for fanatical freedom?

This list can go on and on – the real determining factor is how bad do you want to achieve your dream income?

The controls are in your hands. It is up to you to use them to the best ability you have, you don’t have to go it alone – up-line, support, a2a friends and the forum will help you in any way that is needed.

How much time should I allow before I should expect to be producing income from SFI?

I think most of the answers I have read so far to this question miss the whole point of SFI - that SFI is a worldwide business, open 24/7/365, that sells products and services over the internet, from which, we affiliates receive commissions.

And the obvious answer to this question is that “I produce income from the very first time that I log into SFI.” Why do I say that? I say it because it is true.

As an affiliate I start earning in SFI as soon as I start doing something. There are all the Action VersaPoints (AVP) that I can earn for setting up my SFI business, administrating it, and training and mentoring his team. Yes, it is true that I do not become eligible to receive any income (commissions) from SFI until my VP is at least 1,500 each month. But, subject to that proviso, I start producing income basically from EVERY activity I do in SFI.

I think the question really refers to “profit” and not “income”, in other words the question is; “When should I expect to be producing a profit from my SFI business?” There is a difference between income and profit – Profit is income less expenses.

But my answer is still the same. I can start producing a profit from my very first action.

That’s not the reality for most of us, of course, but it is possible with the system that SFI has in place. It’s not the reality for me either but I am now starting to earn more in commissions than I spend each month. So, how can I say that the SFI system provides us with a means by which we can produce a profit from day one?

We all know that SFI is FREE to join, that ALL the TRAINING is FREE, that we are provided with FREE WEBSITE and that we are NEVER required to PURCHASE anything. This is one of the BEST selling points for SFI and what distinguishes it from most other online businesses.

And through TripleClicks we have access to over 85,000 products and services that we can market worldwide 24/7/365. To produce income (make profit) from day one all we have to do is market these products and services through any of the FREE marketing methods available to us.

Let’s look at just three examples: -

1. Transfer buying: Suppose I purchase the cleaning product, The Natural All-Purpose Cleaner, from TripleClicks instead of a similar product from the local supermarket and that I can receive this product delivered to my door for a total cost that is $1.00 less than what I could pay for at the local supermarket. I have immediately made a $1.00 savings. That’s a profit of $1.00.

2. Suppose I sell the same product to my neighbour as part of a Standard Order (SO). Then I would receive a Direct Commission (DC) of $0.81.

3. Suppose I was to sell a digital product - say one pack of 200 TCredits (I have chosen the 200 pack because it is not limited to SFI Affiliates only or to being on a SO). I would receive a DC of $9.96.

Now, just imagine what my income would be if I can sell multiple quantities of these products and also multiple quantities of many other products and services available from TripleClicks. Just go to the Earnings Calculator to see what is possible.

AND it is possible to begin selling these products and services from TripleClicks from DAY ONE. The system is there, we just have to use it. In conclusion we are only limited to when we can produce income by our marketing activity. Isn’t that AWESOME!

Hi Norman,

It depends on how much time and work you put into your business as to how fast you will receive a large income.

SFI is a legitimate successful internet marketing business and is now YOUR business AND you receive a paycheck from the first day you log in and work.

Imagine you are a new owner of a brick and mortar business. (Did you know that a business franchise now costs at least $30,000?!)

For your new business, you will need:
1) Technical know-how to be able to run it and/or schooling to learn how. One year of business school is at least $150,000
2) More capital to pay for inventory, employees, rent, insurance, workers comp, utilities, advertising, etc.
3) On average, most new businesses take at least 5 - 7 years to make a PROFIT. This means you receive NO paycheck, but must keep paying out for the period of time it takes me make a profit.

With SFI all the tools and techniques are provided for you instantly! You have FREE marketing tools and FREE courses that teach everything you need to know to make money.
You will not have to worry about, Inventory, deliveries, utilities, employees, or set hours!

You have NO cost to own the websites, learn your business with the training, the advertising to become a success and increase your income. So it is important to treat SFI as your business and include ALL you receive as part of your income.

Here is what needs to be done when you log into SFI each day:

1) READ each page completely across the SFI home page before clicking on the blue tab at the bottom for your Action Versa Points. Your AVPs are earned by all the action you do over and over daily, weekly and monthly, Completing the To-Do list, red tabs, the Forum and The Alerts.

2) Reading and rating at least 10 questions on the Ask SC page and entering the Daily Grand on the gray "Win It" tab.

3) Start learning your business by reading your Training. To find the training, go the black "Training" tab or go to: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/

4) Check your VP ledger to make sure you are not missing any actions and by doing the weekly and monthly actions. To find your Versa Points Ledger, go to the end on No.3 under "Important Notes" on your To-Do list or by going to:
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/VPLedger

5) Setting up your standing order to have TCredits each month for playing games and bidding on auctions. If you buy a 125 TCredit pack for $35.26 each month on your standing order, you will receive 1500 VPs and 100 VPs bonus each month. This will qualify you as an Executive Affiliate, (EA) right away and give you a head start on your goal as a Team Leader.

If you can't afford this, you can buy 100 TCredit pack for $29.00 and receive 1200 VPs. You will not qualify for the bonus VPs. Check out Standing Orders and popular items to buy by going to:
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/StandingOrders

When some affiliates find they have to re-qualify for your rank each month, they leave saying, "It's boring or too hard!"
Question!
If you have a regular job, don't you have to do the same things over and over again to re-qualify for your paycheck each week/month and a promotion? Just asking!

“IT'S THE REPETITION OF AFFIRMATIONS THAT LEADS TO BELIEF. AND ONCE THAT BELIEF BECOMES A DEEP CONVICTION, THINGS BEGIN TO HAPPEN.” MUHAMMAD ALI


Using your TripleClicks store will help you increase your income and to promote to Team Leader.

Here are some ways to do this:

1) Use your store for your regular daily/weekly shopping. You are going to spend the money anyway, so give yourself a bonus by having your family, friends and neighbors to buy on TripleClicks.

2) Promote items you like from your own store or other ECA
TripleClicks stores to friends, family, on Social Media and advertising websites.

3) Advertise your business, your products, games, and auctions from TripleClicks.
Check out the commission chart at: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

4) The sales that are made by yourself, your PRMs, your ECAs and your team will increase your rank, your paycheck and give you bonuses. Check out your Benefits Chart on your To-Do list or go to: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart

5) Sponsoring new PSAs and CSAs, to work with you as a team, will help increase your income and VPs, plus each of your working team. Yes, you will have to recruit, advertise or buy new PSAs on TripleClicks.

6) Advertising for new PRM (Personal Referred Members on TripleClicks),ECAs and PSAs will also help increase your income. Marketing is advertising your business and a good way to sponsor. You can find ways to advertise by going to your black Marketing tab or at: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods

I hope this is helpful.

Have a Blessed Day!

Don’t just focus on the time factor and draw your conclusion about when to expect producing income from your SFI business. You can have more than the time you need, but are you focusing on activities that produce income from your SFI business?

Do you have any strategic plan on how you spend your time and some financial investments towards meeting your expectation of when to produce your income? This is a critical question that only you can answer.

When can you expect producing income from your SFI business will depend on the following aspects?

- Do you have your own lead generation system targeting high qualified prospects?

Lead generation is the lifeblood of your SFI business. Without having a constant supply of fresh, targeted leads, your business will not grow at all and you won’t be producing any income. You need to invest in creating your own lead generation system by having your own website/blog, landing page, autoresponder system, etc. You need to allocate time for creating relevant content to attract your target, share compelling information in social media to effectively engage prospects and to add human value to your brand and focus on keyword optimization (SEO) to make sure that your SFI business is easily accessible when prospects search for keywords that relate to your SFI business.

It is a fact that generating your own leads will give you the best prospects. Start the rapport building process with your leads by communicating and listening to them and then provide a solution that fits their needs. This will initiates the conversion of your leads into sign ups.

- Have you been consistently training and supporting your downline in duplicating your efforts?

You will not make real money in your SFI business unless you really know how to build your downline that is, sponsoring the right quantity and quality of PSAs, training, coaching and developing their skills, and showing them how to duplicate the process to build their downlines.

Once you figure out how to do all three steps, your downline will have its own life, not just dependent on you being their Team Leader and sponsor.

- Are you striving to attain leveraging on the efforts, time, money and skills of your downline to effectively build their SFI business and increase their income potential?

Leveraging is a model that every SFI business owner should understand in order to succeed. It is all about achieving more with less. It allows you to duplicate your time through the efforts of your team members to achieve maximum results. The power of leveraging will depend on team members who share your goal of building a strong SFI business and are willing to work for it, and how you develop your downline into duplication by committing into SFI BASICS.

- Are you generating TripleClicks sales?

An immediate source of income is by generating TC sales. There are several ways to generate TripleClicks sales:

1. You can start learning and applying the marketing methods and marketing aids from your Marketing tab.

2. Share TC products information through E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other social networking sites by sharing the link: “Share & Win”.

These are the type of activities that you should be engaging to start producing income from your SFI business.

This is highly complex and the truth is that you should not think about time as you would need to focus on how you use your time. Income from SFI can be produced from the first day if you go through all the training material (launchpad), become Fast Track and you read what you see there. However, how much you want to earn is the true question that has to be asked in order to answer your question.

Based on success stories written by members in the forum and on their personal blogs, most of them say that they achieved success in 6 to 12 months. A 12 months period is a good investment since it also coincides with the E365 challenge.

Keep in mind that your success will vary a lot based on what you do and what you are good at. To be honest, if you only want to deal with the Eager Zebra games and you want to try to win the income completely for free, without investing something and putting in effort in using other tools, it will take a lot longer. HOWEVER, if you do work hard to promote everything that you can and you specialize in something (like selling TripleClicks products to friends and family members), success can be really fast.

The earnings calculator can easily shed some light on this: https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/EarningsCalculator

If you refer just 5 people per month and they make 1500 VP and if they do the same, after 12 months you can expect $1,500 per month, which is more than enough for most people. If you find affiliates that work more and that earn more than those 1500 VP per month and you, through your work earn more, this earning potential is drastically increased.

Based on my experience with such networks, you have to allocate at least 3 months of following all the steps in order to understand 100% of the earning potential. I am telling you that SFI has the highest potential of all I tried BUT you have to allocate time and effort. Start with 1-2 hours per day and you will eventually find yourself being able to dedicate all your time and effort into this business.

Good luck!

How much time should I allow before I should expect to be producing income from SFI? How long do you want it to take? Not long at all! I don't think anyone signed up with SFI and said well I'll work hard for 5 years at it and then expect to make money! That's just plain silly. No one wants to waste their time on a fantasy. So I say you should work from day 1 to earn your first commission check in about 45 days and yes, it's very possible! The reason it takes 45 days or so (give or take) is because affiliates are paid retroactively. So this month's activity will not be paid until next month around the 10th or so. So you should be earning income in your first month. It may not be what you'd like it to be but it is still income!

However, if you are one of those person's who is looking for a six figure income from SFI then I'd say you need a longer range plan. How long depends on you and the type of affiliates you recruit. If you are a go getter and you have a network of go getters then you could very possibly be earning 6 figures in less than 2 years.

Yet, if you are passive and hit and miss and so is your network then you will die more than likely before you hit six figures! You can still make some good residual income after several years but why approach anything half-heartedly. Go all in and give it everything you got! Then if you hit your benchmark, set another benchmark. Set a 2 yr, 5yr, 7yr and 10yr benchmark. Set up smaller goals in between. That's what I am doing and I've been in for more than 5 years and I haven't hit six figures but I have managed to make some benchmarks. In the next 2 to 5 years I expect my current income to grow exponentially.

So, set smaller short term income goals and larger long range goals. Then stay on track with your progress and before you know it you will be make the income you desire. Take what you get in the beginning and reinvest it so that you can take a bigger draw in the future.

It is not a function of time.

If you want to make money quickly you need to focus on the right activities.

The quickest way to start EARNING money are as follows:

1. List products on Tripleclicks for sale. You need to actively promote the products on social media or any other way you can think of.

2. Find products on Tripleclicks that you like. Then promote them through your natural networks and any other way you can think of. This is also a good way to recruit Personally Sponsored Affiliates. you would then earn commissions on all purchases they make on Tripleclicks.

3. One of my best income streams is from my CSAs. Note: As you acquire CSAs if 2% of them become active you are doing well. So you need volume and some luck.

4. For long term success you need to start building a team but, this takes time and work.

When I joined SFI I committed to give it at least a year. My year is up and the only thing I would change is to focus more on building a team instead spending time playing auctions and games.
They consume a lot of time but don't result in real sustainable income. But they can be a good way to recruit new affiliates.

Good day Norman,

The answer to the question is immediately, which now then depends on your seriousness.

That said, you can start by setting up your goals. This inspires you on how to go about achieving those goals. Remember that proper planning in advance, can make you get the desired results.

As an affiliate, you start getting income when you:-
1. Become an Executive Affiliate or more (minimum of 1500 versa points) you partake of the Tripleclicks Executive Pool.

2. Direct Commissions from the purchases of your personal referred PRMs.

3. Being an Executive Affiliate monthly (minimum), you are entitled to 2 Co Sponsor Affiliates (CSAs) and any purchases made by them, you would be entitled to 15 % commission volume.

4. Referral of ECAs by advertising the ECAs products. once a sale is concluded, you get a commission. Which is lifetime royalties from the ECA.

5. You get a $10 bounty in the SFIPPA programme where each affiliate that clicks on your link and remain active for over 3 months would be given $10 instantly.

6. As an Executive Affiliate (minimum), SFI rewards their hardworking affiliates by awarding t credit bonuses ranging from 10-20 t credits.

In summary, determination is the key factor to a successful business and when it comes to income being generated on SFI with a lay down structure, you can start erming immediately.

All the best.

I don't think one can say you have to start making money in a day, a week, a month or even a year.

Your situation, experience, time spent on building your business and even your finances will have an influence.

If you are fortunate enough to have a budget to spend on your business you will have an advantage over somebody with no money to spend. How you spend that money of course can also make a big difference. Personally I would concentrate on 2 things: Sales and developing 5 great hardworking PSA's. Having even a little experience will also not hurt,

Time is also a factor. If you are retired or unemployed you (hopefully) have more time to spend on developing and building your business. If you are employed fulltime and you have limited time available you have to go for quality time - make every minute you have to spend on building your business count.

I think one should be realistic. If you expect too much of yourself and you fail it will bring you down, Expect too little and you will not push yourself. You know yourself, you know your situation - be honest with yourself and set realistic goals for yourself, goals that is not too easy to reach but also not so high and far out that it is impossible to reach.

Keep in mind that a normal business takes about 2 years to actually start showing profits. Just because your SFI business is online and not in a brick building it is still a real business.
