The answer to your first question is a definite yes, you can be successful in SFI without investing any money. It will just take you a bit longer to get there than it would with an initial investment.
In answer to your second question, what I would suggest is that you focus on promoting TC as a marketplace, and look for some particular products that you are comfortable selling, and promote those. Also, canvas small businesses in your area about their online presence - you may find a few ECAs you can sign up, and start earning commissions on what they sell through TC.
But the real key to succeeding without an initial investment is to reinvest your profits initially, rather than take them out of the business. Use your first few commissions to pay for targeted ads, which will yield better results, or set up a standing order to guarantee EA status, so you get a bigger slice of the pie.
