Zoran;
You can certainly be successful without investing any money. That is one of SFI's founding principles and I'm not sure how many times I've heard Gery Carson say the same thing in the forum. To achieve success without investing money though, you have to be willing to spend something even more valuable than cash and that is your time.
Investing money just makes becoming successful quicker but the action and thoughts you put in are much more important towards your advancement that the money is. I suggest in fact that the people who invest money but ultimately fail at SFI do not succeed because they were unwilling or unable to sufficiently invest their time and efforts.
I hope that sufficiently addresses the first part of your query. Here is the second.
There are many methods you can use to be successful that don't require money. You can find these listed under your marketing center tab - https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?form=MarketingMethods
This is actually one of those occasions where it's easier to say what you can't do. Without the money to invest, you can't pay for advertising, you can't buy affiliates and you are unable to supply monetary perks like gift cards. Do you suppose those are absolutely critical to your business? I say they are not.
1. You can't buy advertizing in the form of pay per click, pay per impression or even rent spaces for ad placements but you CAN spread your business message with word of mouth and there are innumerable spots where free advertising can be obtained. Just putting your gateway link is a form of word of mouth advertising and word of mouth is the MOST EFFECTIVE advertising of all.
2. You can't buy PSA's to go to CSA's to go without spending money but those require your time to cultivate them too and if you don't bring those purchased affiliates along then they are just wasted anyways. Are you understanding now why I suggest that your time is worth more than your money is anyways?
3. You also can't supply perks or monetary incentives like gift cards, complementary ad coop inclusion or even T-credits without spending on them first. Those really aren't the deal breaker towards your success. In lieu of monetary rewards or a place on an s-builder, you can offer better and more well researched advice instead. Hey. Be a super-supportive sponsor for your affiliates and maybe some will give you a gift card back in a show of appreciation.
But when you begin having your success in SFI through your determination and dedication, then you will have the money that has come in reward for your efforts.
Cheers and best of fortune with your business,
