This is what I will say:

If you are already a huge success at SFI then perhaps you are reaping the rewards now after toiling on the 1 VP actions and it’s not so much a priority now but if you are working through the ranks then it is important to go through it everyday.

The importance of the daily 1 VP is emphasised in the “Start” tab video. Go over it again.

Those accumulated AVPs are needed for rank qualification. Would you not regret if you fail to qualify

It is a good idea to set up email capture and autoresponder on your blog. Email marketing is cost-effective way to promote your SFI business. Email marketing is free because it doesn’t cost money to send an email.

The autoresponder series can include the following sent at weekly intervals. Each series will include a gateway link of your choice.

There are lessons to be learnt from the recent cyber attacks on SFI. Cyber attacks can happen anytime and do not allow these attacks to deter you from pursuing your SFI goals. SFI is a great opportunity and there will be challenges ahead. The recent cyber attacks was a setback to some affiliates but just stay focused on building up your SFI business because all is not lost and there is everything to gain with commitment.

Limited time is not really a constraint in the pursuit of SFI Business. With proper time management all that is needed is about one to two hours a day to see some tangible results. My advise to those who have little time to spare is to do the following:

TO-DO List
It takes about 15 to 20 minutes each day to complete the TO-DO List.

S-BUILDER
The S-Builder is SFI’s international, multi-channel advertising co-op. With the S-Builder, a lack of time is no constraint

You don’t really need to have a website or your own blog to be successful with SFI. Many people were successful in affiliate business without a website. Success comes from hard work, research and understanding what other SFI affiliates are doing and succeeding. Many affiliate marketing strategies that have become successful have existed without having a website or blog. Among these strategies are e-mail marketing, offline promotions, writing e-books, writing ezines, and engaging in online discussions

I have heard about Team Leaders with groups numbering in the tens of thousands! What do they do differently to build such a huge downline?

I am sure there are teams with groups numbering tens of thousands. The essential ingredient for such huge numbers is cohesive teamwork coupled with knowledge by reading the notes provided by SFI and putting them into practice. The team is committed to producing results. What the teams do is not much of a difference but the synergy produced by the team members working in unison makes the building of huge downlines a lot easier. Each member of the team usually covers the guidelines as appended below.

The traditional way of recruiting friends and family into online business does not work any more.

We are living in the internet age where social media, classifieds etc. can give you a lot of leads.

The common mistake is to recruit your family and friends. Your friends and family know you for who you are. If you are not a business owner and you approach them they will probably think you are up to something strange.

I prefer to recruit in the cold market. The cold market

There are ways to be a successful earner at SFI without investing a dime. The best way to help them is to train and impart knowledge so that they will be successful at SFI without any investment.

A primary method of earning money without investment is accumulating versapoints.
