What an SFI affiliate should spend monthly depends on the affiliate's budget. But for me, I believe the S-Builder is one of the cheapest means of advertising your SFI business.
The answer to this question is "as much you can afford". Because SFI is an open business where you are your own boss and you can have as many affiliates you need in your downline. So the goal must be set by you as to how much you want your business and should plan your expenditure accordingly. And if planned nicely, SFI is a place which gives you 100$ or even more for a single $ spent towards the business.
So, I would say saw a seed today and reap 100 tomorrow.
Best Luck..!!
My son is in advertising and once made a comment.
"A business without a sign is a sign of no business"
If you can't afford to advertise.
Don’t not advertise.
Rather use some sort of free advertising
If you can afford to spend $20 on advertising spend it.
Use every possible means you can but most important is to track you results, then you at least know what is working.
To get your business to grow you need to tell people about it
Be consistent

What you spend on advertising depends on what you can comfortably afford. Remember that there is also plenty of free advertising. Free advertising takes time and attention to detail such as using key codes so that you know which ads got results. When you place paid ads, use key codes as it will help you to spend your advertising dollars wisely. You will want to go back and advertise at any place that has worked for you again. Keep a working list of those places.
Depends on what you can afford. If your pocket is deep enough, I think going full blast would be good and see from there what comes out. I feel like a good size team would be set up that way. Good for you! But if you are barely subsisting on a meager budget, I think getting into free sites is the only way. Of course going into cheaper ad sites would be good too. Good luck one and all!
First determine how serious you are about this program. Second, realistically calculate how effective you already are at building a team. The beautiful thing about SFI, is you can have a consistently growing business every month even if you have never successfully recruited anybody in your life. To me, this is great news especially since you can maintain your monthly qualifications and participate in the advertising coop with SFI for under $50/month. So in summary, if you are not a seasoned sponsor, and you want to experience monthly success right out of the gate, set aside $50/month and call it a business expense.

Start out with what you can afford but remember, you have to invest in your business (any business) to succeed. When you start to generate an income invest more - but no more than 10%. You'll still make a good income and your business will continue to grow.
Great question! Start with an amount you can afford and with the understanding that your advertising efforts are an investment in your business that will pay off, but it may take time to see results.
Once you start getting results from your advertising, make note of which ads and campaigns get good results, and then work on improving those. And when your business is producing income use a portion of that income - perhaps 20% to 30% - to reinvest in the business in the form of more advertising.
Your own website can be your most valuable resource to get new business. Invest the time and energy to learn how to build a website so you can take advanatage of the leverage it can provide.
Use the info in the Internet Income course to help you understand how to create highly effective advertisements.
And remember what Henry Ford said - "A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time".

NOTHING! There is no need to spend money on advertising as most such advertising services are not worth the paper they are written on. The way it goes is like this - how do I make money online - answer - start an advertising service - along comes some guy who wants traffic to his site - bingo you made money. So the bottom line is most so called advertising services wont work for you. Those services that will "work" will be too expensive i.e. you will get "results" but the cost of the "results" will be more than the affiliate profits you will receive thereby. So my advice is use free methods such as text ads, blogs, twitter posts, facebook posts, forums etc - even your own advertising scripts where all the ads are your own i.e. like an advertising service but run it yourself on your own dedicated website
