Dear Boza,
I would say do both!
In order to get the ball rolling and feel the thrill of having your own PSAs, I suggest you acquire some from any of the ECA stores at TripleClicks that offer them or buy into an S-Builder Co-op Unit. There is no guarantee any of the affiliates will be active, but you never know how or when someone can suddenly take an interest and start working their SFI business.
Another less expensive way to get PSAs is by winning them in TripleClicks auctions. These are supposedly more likely to become active but then again who knows. It's the luck of the draw. At least they won't cost you as much and you'll have some fun.
As for sponsoring them yourself, you can create a blog, website or squeeze page and get sign ups through them. In this case at least you have control over what you want to say to attract your potential affiliates. You may not get as many if you emphasize that this is not a get rich quick scheme, but sometimes it's better to have quality over quantity.
You can also spread the word among your friends and family and evaluate their reasons for joining as well as their willingness to work. If you find a good candidate amongst the people closest to you, it will be easier to mentor him/her and then you can concentrate on duplication while you continue to look for more diamonds in the rough.
And last but not least, you can advertise your SFI gateways in free or paid advertising venues and social networks to find PSAs. SFI has all the tools you need to do this, so if you have the knowledge and enough time to do it, this could be a good source of new affiliates.
I wish you the best of luck in your search for PSAs and hope to see your name on the 'Top Enrollers' list some day soon.
