The SHORT ANSWER is; Anyone can succeed in building a viable SFI/TripleClicks business.
The reason 98% of franchise owners succeed and 98% of folks who open a businesses on their own fail within the first year is, franchises are boilerplate, cookie cutter stamp operations. Franchises are a tried and proven programs that can be duplicated by anyone willing to learn the system, follow directions, and make the investment of required time and money. You must determine what your willing to give up, to get what you want.
I'm expressing this as a 65 year old disabled person with a limited budget, and determined to use SFI as a vehicle to improve my standard of living. SfI was developed for the person living paycheck to paycheck and the person whose cash flush.
SFI was created for any person who only has a computer, an online connection and is willing to invest 15 to 20 hours per week finding other people who want to do the same. You have to have a deep burning desire to improve the standard of living.
For those who are able to invest $40 to $60 per month to will find they are going to grow a larger group of PSA (personally sponsored affiliates) teammates in a shorter period of time. By purchasing certain automation trade tools you will accomplish more in less time.
Every business requires exposure. The more you invest, the more diversified your marketing/advertising effort will be and the faster you will grow your Team, thus residual income!
I hope this helps. Thanks for your time and attention to my answer. I wish you the best. May you have good health, peace of mind and the abundance of prosperity.

Why should an SFI affiliate have his own domain, what are the advantages?

Excellent question!..
The short answer IS ~ CREDIBILITY, SEO & BRANDING...
The long answer ~ FIRST IMPRESSION & PERCEIVED CREDIBILITY;
When I see someone using a FREE eMail and domain/website/hosting service it tells me they don't have enough confidence in the longevity of their program to themselves invest for the long term in their project. So why should I even take the time to evaluate and consider their venture! Yes I'm a critical, skeptical thinker. Not negative,.. but I size people up quickly based on my 50 years business experience! In this business you've got a very short period of time to capture & maintain the attention of a “mover & shaker”!.. So show them you're serious about this business. Make sense?..
WHY IS A DOMAIN important to BRANDING and SEO (search engine optimization);
Branding is a short term for “instant customer recognition of person/company/product/theme”. Example; when you sneeze you instantly go for a what?.. A Kleenex right?.. At least my generation does. You can't begin to start branding yourself on-line without YOUR OWN DOMAIN.
Just remember these on-line statistical FACTS. It takes the average person 12 to 15 observations of your activities, what you say, and how you display yourself online, before they will begin to do business with with you. At this point they're decision to do business is based on variable information accuracy & consistency,.. not trust. Trust is earned over time. Once trust is gained everything happens much quicker!
Another reason for a domain is YOU want to attract as much FREE TRAFFIC as you can. Without using your own Domain Name, you won't have your own website or squeeze page, and you'll never have the opportunity to show up on the first page of Google searches! Like when someone is seeking an opportunity and they type in “work at home”. And your website shows up. Google search result account for the absolute majority of searches. Without a domain name you can't begin to show up on Google searches. Or any other search engines!
I hope this gives you some insight based on my experience.

What are the best methods to grow your business if you are shy and not internet savvy?

It's stated by most business collage courses that most people fear public speaking over most other activities. Since speaking in public is not a requirement your shyness should not be a deterrent.
Assuming you're in or have been involved with another person you shyness was overcome by a desire to gain! And if you have children, your shyness didn't stop you from propagating. Again shyness was overcome by a deep burning desire. So I ask you, can you apply that same desire to overcome shyness, and participate with others to build your SFI downline team. Especially since you'll be doing it online instead of in person?.. Also keep in mind most activities have been automated!
In most cases it's the "Fear of Failure" however,.. that knows no boundaries,.. and is what many people are dealing with. This is what keeps most people from succeeding!.. However,.. when you carefully, and quantifiably examine SFI/TripleClicks systems, there is NO real reason to fear failure or success. NOTHING is on YOU!.. They've proven and tested their systems process for over 17+ years. This works for those who consistently read & participate in the game "PLAYBOOK". If you were involved in football, baseball, volleyball, or any other team sport you know what the game "PLAY BOOK" is. Every coach hands them out at the beginning of the season. You have to read and know the material before you participate. SFI has their coaches and their game "PLAYBOOK". Like any other sport,.. here your desire to win must overcome your fear of confrontation and loss! YOU can do what it takes to muster the internal fortitude. Just learn the PLAYBOOK and apply the game plan. Your coaches are always available.
As far as being internet savvy. You don't have to learn Internet Coding or Programing. You don't have to learn and build your own websites and be adept at search engine optimization. Since you're reading this, it appears you can turn on the commuter. Your connected to the internet. You obviously were successful in navigating to this point. You don't need to be internet savvy. All the instructions are written in the "SFI PLAYBOOK". If you need to contact your upline sponsors for their practical application experience. Also there are all the FORUMS! So I ask ~ DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?.. Is this something you desire?

When starting out in SFI, is it better to invest in advertising or in an EA-qualifying purchase?

It depends on your disposable & discretionary monies you have available. If you financially capable do both. If you're on a slim budget in my opinion it's better to initially focus on your EA/EA2 qualifications first by investing in the 'Standing Order Process'. WHY?.. SFI is not your typical get rich quick promo that never pans out. This is a business that must be constructed day by day and brick by brick! " The Brick meaning solid PSA's". This is business is like framing a house. You must build upon a solid foundation.
Each of us becomes a leader of our team. Therefore each of us should lead by example. MAKE SENSE?
I used the Standing Order 125 PAK TCredit special for as little as $36.25/month to pick up an EA-qualifying 1,500 VP each month! This allows me to automatically qualify for all the monthly EA2 benefits and percentages. This allow me to focus on learning the SFI business and then also work on my 'Attraction Marketing' techniques through free online Social Media Venues!

Is cold calling, using a local telephone directory, a good method for attracting new PSAs?

There is NO bad method of recruiting PSA's. Having said that, keep this in mind. If your going to phone solicit people using a phone directory, you could get in trouble with the Nations "Do Not Call List". Calling people who are on that list violates certain FCC regulations. There are ways to avoid this problem but it requires purchasing a memberships and using a whitelist phone directory. In addition it takes allot of manual time just to find interested suspects, you must cultivate into prospects! I prefer to use automated tools & methods involving online FREE Social Media Marketing like Facebook Groups, Google Communities, Twitter, Pinerest, Linkedin, Tumblr etc. Plus there's a ton of other FREE online advertizing Ezines & Papers. It's call 'Target Attraction Marketing'. Also you can use paid advertising with SFI, and the aforementioned Social Media Groups that will produce a 'targeted audience' seeking a business opportunity!

For my own part or involvement in SFI this question clearly strikes home. Here's the reason it should be important to others,. so pay close attention.
I'm age 65 and living on disability. I wanted to improve my standard of living but had become extremely limited in my capabilities to perform. Literally relegated to the confines of my room and bathroom.
I was first exposed to 'SFI' back on October 27th, 2014 via online searching for an opportunity. Because I didn't have a trusted friend or mentor who could show me the way and why SFI was the real deal, I blew it off. It wasn't until after 5 or 6 emails from one of my now upline mentors in SFI that in December of 2014 I began to investigate SFI with curiosity.
In January of 2015 I began by opening the "START", "SFI BASICS", and "LAUNCH LESSONS" and following through!.. By the end of January 2015 it had become evident what I had missed the previous 3 months. Not only had I missed three months worth of involvement, but I had also missed out on my initial "FAST TRACK", which is huge!.. WHY?.. Yes I'm making money with SFI/TripleClicks,.. but it could have been soOO,..much more!.. Do I regret not being able to have the "FAST TRACK" BADGE?... YES and also for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS worth of future financial reasons!...
I tell everyone from my own regret. Don't miss out on 'THE FAST TRACK BONUSES'... You'll financially regret it!

Let's first start with the concept of having FUN!... The Pricebenders auctions are fun to participate in. There's allot of great products. In addition you can win!... I certainly have and it's exciting. On one occasion I acquired a $100 bluetooth receiver for just 39 cents. Two days later it was delivered. I let others know about my success and it's producing results with others participating.
You can't teach others how to swim unless you are in the water yourself!... Participate and share your success with others. It's really that simple!...

It has been well established throughout the independant sales and marketing recruiting & advertising world, that less than 1% of those who start out being recruited will survive. And half of that will be really successful in their game of things! So you can estimate that 1 in 100 will be those you can count on!!
