I had to review my calendar in consideration of an answer to this.

In my opinion there is no clear-cut schedule as SFI is a way of life. SFI is a great way to earn money to support self and needs of family but it is also a way to help others.

Every day I endeavor to share SFI with anyone I come across. Due to this commitment, I spend minimally 5 hours every week on SFI. Many times I have spent more than 20 hours per week on SFI.

It is important to spend a little bit of time every day on your SFI business. I suggest that your time used for SFI be scheduled in your personal calendar so you fulfill your working commitment to SFI and your time not be scheduled by other events that come up during the week.

Enjoy your work week!

The implied answer is a number of hours but in practice it depends on us as individuals. My own learning is still ongoing after 8 months as I do go back over the training pages, both launchpad and Basics on occasions as well as the other sources of information as they are all excellent resources to learn about internet marketing.

It is how I am though but I have no doubt that many would be able to spend a short time at the keyboard for say daily tasks and some advertising and some learning. Even saying that quickly it means about 1 to 2 hours as recruiting and sponsoring takes time communicating what has been learned so the team benefits from one's own learning.

In practice as many hours as it takes to get to a point where a routine is in place which is productive in terms of recruiting and advertising. It would be unrealistic to expect money to be throwing itself at you if you only turned up to work for an hour and expected a weeks wages so as we are our own bosses the answer to the question is am I doing enough hours to make this work well for me? If not how can I make adjustments to improve use of time and resources.

To our success

In my opinion, the number of hours anyone needs to spend in SFI to be more successful depends on the amount of experience or knowledge you have prior to joining SFI. Let me explain it as follows:
1.) If you are an “IT” (information technology) type of guy who is equipped with technical knowledge and expertise in creating HTML codes, embedding banners from website to website, etc., you just have to devote more time in the sales and marketing aspects of SFI. You have already the right tools in expediting your learning curve in SFI.
2.) If you are an experienced marketing type of person and you don’t have much of IT knowledge, you have to devote more time in the IT area.
3.) If you have fall in both items 1 & 2 qualifications above, you just need to familiarize yourself with the SFI platform, its admin policies and its updated information being furnished on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Less time is required of you in both technical and marketing aspects of the SFI business since you have them already. All you have to do is to adjust. You already have the “know-how”.
4.) If you are a newbie in all of the above mentioned qualifications but you have good educational attainment in other areas of expertise or disciplines, you might just have to learn the technical, sales and marketing aspects of the business. It would not be too difficult for you to adjust since you have good background in other areas. You can just apply some of your experiences in SFI business applications. You are already equipped with the right mind, right tools and right attitude.
5.) If you are a newbie in all of the above mentioned qualifications and you don’t have much educational qualifications, more time is required of you in all areas of SFI business, i.e., technical, sales, marketing, admin functions, etc. You just have to double up your time in catching up with the pace of progress within SFI. This is where your time, patience, perseverance and all other virtues are required to become successful. In my own opinion and observations, the role of “passion” in this scenario is very much needed to augment what you don’t have acquired prior to joining SFI. Passion and dedication might outdo the technical and marketing expertise. For me, passion is an important ingredient to become successful in anything you do or anything that you dream of.

I hope my answers above enlighten everyone’s mind on how many hours are required to devote in SFI to become successful.

The simplest answer to your question is: as many as you think fit and you feel comfortable with. Why so?

Many people will say that you need X hour a week in order to be successful, where X may assume many values. The question is: what are you going to do during those hours? Do you have a plan?

Look at a regular job, for example: 40 hours a week. Except being a manual worker, have you seen anybody REALLY busy for 40 hours a week? I doubt it. There's much unproductive time involved very often, and people just sit in the office, trying to look busy.

The same here. Let's say, you decide to devote 20 hours a week for SFI (4 a day, plus a few minutes to do the TO-DO LIST tasks at the weekend). My question is: what are you going to do during those four hours each day? TO-DO LIST, OK, then what? Browsing TC products, OK. Then what? Writing and sending a team-mail? That's it! That's as much as you need. Does it fill 4 full hours? I doubt...

You don't need hours to "work" with SFI, and anybody saying otherwise does not know what he/she is talking about. Just staring at your SFI scoreboard or genealogy screen is not work. You're better off devoting more time to recruitment if you are going to use free advertising, because this is much more time consuming, like clicking the links in safe-list e-mails or websites in traffic exchanges.

If you however automate you work, i.e. get 1500 VPs standing order to keep your EA rank, pay somebody else to recruit for you (as I do), write your series of letters to your affiliates beforehand, etc. then it's just minutes you'll be spending at SFI website. As much as is needed for TO-DO LIST and responding to possible questions of your affiliates.

So forget long hours. I've been only three months here, but I'm not spending more here than 5 - 10 hours a week (including leadership tasks of all kinds).

In my personal view and experience, one should have to spend atleast 8 to 13 hours per week.
It includes:
- 15 to 30 minutes per to complete daily to-do list including voting for Ask SC questions.
- 15 to 30 minutes per week to compose a newsletter to send to his/her downline.
- 3 to 5 hours on advertising for sponsoring affiliates and TC members
- 2 to 3 hours on reading (including lessons, news, forum)
- 1 hour for weekly plan

Also, the more you work the more your chance of winning.

The weekly hours you spend with SFI depend on your plan. Going through every section in your homepage will take considerable time and that’s why, one should have a plan. Set priorities, like doing first your Getting Started, Daily Actions, Weekly Actions and so on. There are sections that may require the assistance of your upline and SFI Support in order for you to understand. So your time will vary.

I heard this saying many times,” work harder”. You might be working harder the hard way, but have you considered working the smart way? Don’t try to figure out yourself, how SFI works. You don’t have to spend so much time in a section. You can go to SFI Forum and search for a certain topic that will lighten you up or ask your upline and SFI Support. So to succeed means you need to stick into your plan to reach your goal. Be consistent, determined, patient and committed.

I do the following:

15 minutes a day maintaining to-do list
45 minutes a day researching and reading

- And then whatever extra time needed to assist PSA's / CSA's, send various personalized messages to individuals listed among My Movers.

At the very least if you want to be successful an hour a day is really all you need. However, if there's a day during the week you can spend a little more time developing your SFI business that might be well worth your time spent.

also noted: If you have the ability to work with your warm market you could probably multi-task. The other day I had a friend who was helping me move. We stopped for dinner and during the dinner I shared with him what I was doing with SFI. I killed two birds with one stone and made good use of my time.

Hope that helps :)

How many hours a week will totally depend
on your level of experience both with a computer,
and with the internet.

If you lack the simple skills such as copy and paste,
you will need to spend more time learning such skills.

If your also not familiar with the SFI backoffice
sfimg.com there is a bit of a learning curve
which is greatly shortened by completing your
"start, basic, and launchpad" training lessons.

How well you retain the information you read
also plays a part in the amount of time you will
spend to become successful.

When I started with SFI I already had all the
computer skills, and was able to navigate the
internet.

As long as you understand that learning from
those that came before you, that are moving up
the ladder, or have reached the top rung "PTL"
you will become successful.

Read, Listen, Apply, Duplicate.

Success will surely follow.

The amount of hours you put into SFI is up to you,you should decide what and how you want to grow.This discretion is up to each of us individually,whether we can take 10 min and succeed or 10 min and fail.

Please remember this is not a job that you will get dock paid if you do not show up, this is a business and we should treat it as such. Some people will spend a lot of hours on line while some spend a few hour,which ever you choose to do will impact your grown or your down fall.

Sometimes success does not depend on hours or time, but rather how we utilize whatever tools that we are given to work with.

The hours you need to spend on SFI depends on the amount you want to earn.
If you just spend time to complete your to do list,then 15 minutes is sufficient.
You place a standing order for 1500 VersaPoints
You become a member of S Builder for taking care of your downline .
You can also join some coop for more PSAs.
But if you you want everything to be done by yourself,then atleast two hours every day is required
