Very good question. My philosophy as a online marketer is to read as wide as possible. I ascribe to this philosophy and encourage my team to ascribe to it as well. When you are a newbie, very little is known about the mechanism that is online marketing. The beauty with the internet is that there are many road that lead to success, the trick is to determine for yourself which method best suit you.

There will never be one book that will deliver all the knowledge needed to succeed in any sphere of endeavor. To become an Engineer, I had to learn English, Mathematics, Chemistry and other subject matter totally unrelated to the core Engineering field. I strongly belief that a similar approach is needed to learn and grow in SFI. To become a successful online marketer, you have to work on different aspect of your business, not only the mechanics of the system but also your personal development and mindset. These are quite different disciplines.

For online marketers, the similar situation exist, you have to learn multiple disciplines. The industry is too dynamic to rely on one book or one set of book. The changes are too fast and for you to keep up your reading list has to evolve.

There are good books on list building, building duplication,social media etc... All have valuable content. The one that is best would be the one that resonate best with you and your personality. Social marketing may not be for you, maybe email marketing is your thing or offline techniques would better suit to your personality.

Therefore, the book that will give you greatest value may very well be the greatest book and #1 recommendation for you.

They ask leaders are readers. This is true, the more you acquire useful knowledge the better suited you are to build a strong and prosperous team with SFI.


I particularly like ebooks,my recommendation is any ebook that focuses on list building and duplication. Having a strong team behind you is your top priority. Having a huge list of CSA's and PSA's is your number one asset hence all effort must be place on building a list and promoting duplication in that list. Any book that promote this, is well worth reading.

Most important author are:
- Philip Kotler, he said - Marketing management is the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping and growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior customer value.
- Than Dale Carnegie, Deepak Chopra, Joseph Murphy, Jack Trout...
- But for me, most interesting book in this field is
“ All Marketers Are Liars
The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World”
The biggest lie that master marketer Seth Godin tells in this book is the name of his book. He explains that all marketers are not, in fact, liars: They are merely storytellers. The liars, he writes, are the consumers who lie to themselves every day about what they wear, where they live, how they vote and what they do to work. Godin explains that successful marketers are just the providers of the stories that consumers choose to believe. A good story that satisfies customers is the source of a company's growth and profit. What it takes to make it work, Godin writes, is a "complete dedication to and embrace of your story."

Reading is very important to success, as many of us have to change our beliefs about ourselves before we can believe in and accept abundance and success into our lives.

Because we all start out at different places in that process, I have two authors I highly recommend rather than particular books.

The first is Dr. Wayne Dyer. All of his books are about changing our lives. His older books are from a different point on the emotional spectrum than his newer books. They are all still in print, because they are all still relevant.

The second authors are Esther and Jerry Hicks. All of their work is about becoming an emotional and spiritual match to our desires. Much of their work is about ways to focus on our desires and not on the lack of our desires. Because, what we focus on increases. If we focus on what is good in our lives, that is what increases. If we focus on what we do not want, what we don't want is what we get more of.

I hope this helps everyone, because it has truly helps me.

I think that success is not primarily due to the kind of job, business, or whatever vehicle we decided to use in order to achieve it. Rather it is primarily due to our personal growth as persons and to the understanding of certain mechanisms, that I consider as a kind of inescapable laws of the universe.

I mean; we could own the fastest car in the world to go from point A to point B, but if we don't know how to drive a car, you can be sure that even someone with an old beaten up car will arrive before us.

Consequently I think it is not so fundamental to read the typical 'how to' books, but instead to read the kind of books which can start to create in us, a certain awareness about these 'laws'.

Probably the book which has had the biggest impact on my personal growth and consequently led me to a big success in Network Marketing, is 'The greatest salesman in the world', by Og Mandino.

I definitely suggest to anybody who is really willing to drastically improve their life to start with this 'easy to read' book.

I have bought quite a few e-books on business and advertising. And i can earnestly say, That it didn't help me at all!!!

The best "book" I can recommend, is SFI itself! I got my best tips from SFI. Reading what your fellow affilliates are doing, their tips and advice, are far more valueble than any book you will buy. It is proven advice!
Read te stream tab, the tips and your SFI launchpad.

And ask your upline, if you don't ask, you won't get an answer! The information you will get from other affilliates have worked for them in SFI!

LOL, if you are still not sure what to read, ask your team leader.

Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill.

This 1936 classic is as relevant today as it was the day it was penned. Written during the Great Depression, long before the internet was even a concept, the ideas and methods in this book have helpled millions over the years.

Napoleon Hill was inspired by a 'secret' given to him by Andrew Carnegie. The result is this book.

As many people love reading. The book which touched me and i would prefer to others to read by the Author Shiva Khera " YOU CAN WIN" . The title of the book itself makes us come to the conclusion how motaviting and inspiring it is. It teaches us how to develop our attitude. Not only that but it prepares our mind to handle different problems and to work under great pressure.

There is a multitude of excellent self help books but my number one recommendation is Og Mandino's, "The Greatest Salesman In The World" because the principles of successful entrepreneurship are taught through the vehicle of a heart warming story that anyone can relate with. Being a SFI affiliate is also being a true entrepreneur.
