It depends on how much time and money you are investing and how well you are utilizing the resources at SFI. During the first three months many are learning the ropes and are not able to think about an income.

Although SFI is a free income opportunity, a certain amount of money must be invested. The more you invest, the more the return on your investment.

In setting realistic goals you will take in consideration how much time and money you can invest. If you want to receive an income, you will invest the time and money to receive that income; both are required to build and grow a business.

SFI pays you an income based on your rank, the greater your rank the higher your earnings. The more time and money you invest, the higher you can rank and the sooner you will start receiving an income.

If you invest some money and time regularly from the beginning I would say:
-First three months- Learn about SFI and the resources
-In 1 year- Generating an income
-In two years- Eearning a regular income

Hope this helps

how much time, should you allow before you can expect to be producing income from SFI? Only you can determine that for you.

!st you must put in full training time, no short cuts will do, you'll find your self getting stuck. While you putting in your training time, you should be always advertising, none stop. While your advertising you should be building your prms, your sales, your purchases too.

You should be building your team members too. 1 at a time is fine too. Build your matching VPs. You really have to work hard to work smarter later in this business.
How fast you earn income, actually starts from day one you get active in your business here. Now if your talking about a substantial income or even passive income. Its really simple. you get back what you put into it.

How much time you have to invest in yourself & how much Energy, you willing to apply to your future, success & security? How much sacrifice you willing to sacrifice to bring on your freedom & to live & have the income you require? No, two people, will ever make the similar total here. So with that said, again, only you can determine how much time it will take to inherit you quota of income.

You, alone must set that goal & its you alone that will achieve it too. Once you've acquired the needed learning & action tools here & put them into daily actions here & your team is settled in strongly, your sales & actions are on the up & up. You'll see your dividends infolding right before your own eyes..Good luck.

I will leave you with this, allow yourself a minimum of 6months-3-5 years to establish yourself here & stand strongly on your own 2 feet!

"Everyday is a learning lessons, you drop your books you loose your lessons!" Stay focused, its so important. Build yourself strong & be a powerhouse for & to your team & you'll run up an investment account, that you can't believe you've done it all by yourself!

In this business you can have it all, but you've got to apply just that, your time & your positive driven, forceful energy & 100% belief in yourself & your ability to do it! there can never be 1% of doubt in yourself, never! Go for it!

Being an entrepreneur with SFI as a way to earn an income is not a prescriptive approach.

For some it was days or weeks and for others it was months or years.

I would suggest that you take a moment and consider how long you want to wait. The Goals tab that we are to re-visit each month helps us to make solid gains in our businesses. The Goals tab helps us to confirm where our focus should be and where we want to be in a few months and in a year or more.

Without writing our desired outcome we simply run our business based on wishful thinking and "I got to do that...." approach rather than based on what possibilities are available and considering the actions that are needed to be completed to become that much closer to our pre-determined outcome.

You will be the one to determine how long you are willing or wanting to wait then once you have decided that compare to how your goals are written down on your Goals tab. Be sure that the language you use is present tense and full of action so that you are moved each day to be one day closer to your desired outcome to earning an income with SFI,

Don't wait, just Do IT~ you will see achievements convert into a steady income soon enough.

This is a common question affiliates ask when they join SFI. It would only be right that I provide my personal experiences on my time in SFI. This means that I would have to take you back to the time I joined SFI.

1. I was very fortunate to earn immediately I joined - if you call less than $1.00 an income for 5 days of work - this is what I received.

2. Then in my full month subsequently I enrolled 2 PSAs who were active and this meant that I earned enough to pay for my overseas Payoneer Card.

3. This point relates to earning commissions through your ECA and my first sale was very encouraging though my store was opened later but this is another income stream you would need to add to your income. This income is earned almost immediately you have a store and are ready to market it together with having products that customers need and want.

4. Finally we have your referrals who also play an important role in your cumulative earnings-people who are not necessarily SFI affiliates but who purchase products regularly on TripleClicks. This is another immediate income generating stream.

Therefore to answer your question, you can see for yourself, what you put into your business, you receive. However, if you are looking at sustaining your life with income then I would say that this is dependent on your level of commitment to SFI, how many active members you recruit, how many will remain with you and how many will leave. It also depends on whether you have an ECA and what you do daily to expand it.

It is not just one factor that goes into your income potential but if you had to summarize it.
When you earn enough to pay for your Standing Order and make a profit from your SFI commissions, this is where your start would be - when you no longer have to borrow money for a SO.

You can earn what you want to - it can be achieved in 1 month, 1 year, 3 years or never. It depends on YOU.

This is a very good question.

There are 3 things to consider when embarking on a business venture:

1) Time/Work invested in the business: Nothing happens "magically", so one must be prepared to learn all about the business they are trying to build, organize and plan the steps to be taken, and, finally DO the work necessary to follow up.

2) Financial Investment: Yes, SFI is FREE to join and participate in, and one will make money following the steps given, but to produce significant income requires some financial investment. The amount to invest is up to the individual and the budget they have. If one learns the system, even a small financial investment can produce excellent results.

3) DO NOT GIVE UP!: Most people give up on SFI (and other businesses) when they see just a few pennies or dollars in their account at the end of their first few months. This is fallacy. They are actually SUCCEEDING. Each month of work time and financial investment increases these amounts exponentially.

In summary, statistics show that it takes about 3-5 years for a business to grow into a reasonably profitable and lucrative venture. Patience is virtue, and patience will reap rewards.

This is a great questions:

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 cost you $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.

Personally, I try to spend at least a 11/2 to 2 hours everyday in order to do my To do List, participate in the forum, bid on auctions, play some of the games, check out my T Connect page and also more importantly is to connect with my downline. It is so important to maintain contact with them at least twice a week so they know you have not given up on them. They also like to know you are giving them good advice along the way. This will not only keep you connected but will also help them grow which helps me grow as well. This is a win-win situation. If we can get our downlines to grow then we will grow as well.

It could take anywhere from 2 to 4 years to start showing enough growth that you start making money. To me, this is the hard part, the waiting. It takes a lot of time and hard work to grow our business. I cannot wait until I get to my second year. I look forward to growing and making money. I have given lots of ways to grow. I hope it will help my downline to start growing.

I hope this has been helpful to others. Good luck everyone :)

Why ? Because for every PriceBenders auction bid You get at least 5 MRP.
Additionally, if You play the CARD KING and/ or The Gold Steak Games You may well receive

Having patience when it comes to producing an income with SFI is a must.

Due to the nature of how we can earn, from 1 month to the next, your commissions may change for the + or -. Example: 1 month you may have active team members, then the next month there maybe far fewer team members that are active. Same goes for our PRM's and even the ECA's that we refer.

Definitely giving 2-3 years to build a good income that may show a good ROI is needed.

My personal experience is this: I have been with SFI for approximately 11 months. I have been able to gain commissions every month. Are they eye popping commissions, no not yet. However it is a start. Yes, they do differ from month to month due to the activity of my team members and PRM's.

My suggestion, like above, give it 2-3 years. Don't get discouraged. Keep up your efforts with building an active team. Referring PRM's and ECA's continually.

I like to refer to a line in the movie "Field of Dreams": "If you build it, they will come!".

Hi Norman,

Just after joining, every one needs to know the answer to your nice question. But as SFI is not a “Get-Rich-Quick”scheme. There has to be a period before which a considerable income starts pouring in. Now the considerable income also would very from person to person.

As per LAUNCH PAD Lesson 11 –
ROBERT BLACKMAN now earns as much as $85,000 per month. Yet it took Robert two years to see his first four-figure check ($1,000 or more), and it took him five years to see his first five-figure check ($10,000 or more).
CHARLES LESLIE’s monthly income exceeds $12,000 a month. It took Charles five months to see his first $1,000 check, and three and a half years to see his first $10,000 check.
TRACY DIETERICH earns $36,000+ monthly. But it took six months to hit that first $1,000, and a year to get to $10,000.
DALE CALVERT makes so much more than $100,000 a year that he won’t even divulge the amount. Yet Dale worked four months before seeing that first four-figure commission check...and two full years before hitting five figures.
DR. JOE RUBINO now cruises at over $62,000 each month. But that first $1,000 check took two months, the first $10,000 check, one year.
ROBERT BUTWIN drops $80,000 or more into his bank account each month. But would you believe that first $1,000 check took two years to reach, and a full FIVE years for Robert to reach the first $10,000 check? It’s true!
DAVID A. NELSON clears $40,000 in a month. But reaching that first $1,000 check took 18 months. Reaching the five-figure check took two years.
TONY KENT has exceeded $90,000 in monthly earnings. But exceeding $1,000 took Tony one year...and a year and a half to exceed $10,000.

The period required to learn about the SFI business as per me is not less than one solid year of extensive study full time. Then your income will depend upon your investment for advertising, building your strong team of leaders like you. You need to train them to become a good SFI leaders like you.

Therefore, in my opinion an average person can expect a good income from SFI only after 3 years. Just because it is not the quantity of affiliates enrolled by you by investing heavily in advertising, but the quality of affiliates recruited by you. So you need to train a team of at least 5 good team leaders like you to get a handsome income from SFI.

All the best.
Have a nice day !!

Time is the one thing we always think we have, until we don't have it anymore.

In a perfect world, you have started to create residual long term income BEFORE you have found yourself needing it.

You'll read in many places that the time frame needed to create a fair business base is somewhere between two and five years. This can be done if you are diligent about recruiting new PSA, PRM and ECA'S.

The reason you aren't going to get a set in stone answer is because you have not disclosed the financial amount you are investing in SFI.

I have been investing, and devoting hours of time to SFI. I can tell you that after developing 7 Team Leaders and roughly 3-4 EA, I am recieving a commission from SFI that is around $100 or so a month. This has taken me roughly 3-4 months of diligent effort.

I can also tell you that in my business growth plan, I'm barely on the first step. The result I seek is more in the range of $20,000 per commission check.

My answer to your question is simple. You earn with every effort you put forth. The time frame you use to build, and the development you put into those you sponsor; this will pay off.

Will it happen in the first year? For the vast majority of SFI Affiliates, no. For the diligent, steadfast patient builder, maybe in two years time. More likely, between two to five years.

Create a sound business development plan. Implement it. Stick with it when you feel it is going slow. Review it every month, change small things if they do not create the result you ate seeking.

If done right, you will find three years have passed by and you have a marginal income. You're also sure to have many new friends, and a deep commitment to finish building you residual income.

Much success to you!
