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).
