I live in Africa too and I feel that some of the answers I have seen do not understand at all the difference and the difficulties of living here from "over there".
Yes I agree you can be anywhere in the world and only need a computer to work at SFI but there are a lot of stumbling blocks for us in Africa. It is definitely not a level playing field for all affiliates depending on where you are operating from. It is very hard to sell 100's of items in TripleClicks over here in Africa. We do not have the options that the overseas affiliates have. The products we can choose are extremely limited. The import duties on items bought overseas are overwhelming. If you buy an item from TripleClicks, you pay so much more than what the item is worth just to import it.
So, in Africa, to me, the only way you can become successful in SFI is you either recruit ECA's in your own country or become one yourself. You then promote and sell the ECA's products locally or to export overseas. Alternatively, you recruit a strong down line of PSA's and CSA's who live in countries that do not have the very expensive import duties or who live overseas and who can buy from TripleClicks without the same problems that we have here. In this way you can collect commission on their buys and sells from TripleClicks.
The bottom line is, SFI is all about buying and selling. If you can't do either of them, your chances of success in Africa or anywhere else, are going to be really very difficult.
