This is a really good question, as I firmly believe that the 50 plus age group are a fantastic target demographic for new recruits. This is why they should get started today, without hesitation.

These people are part of the so called baby boomer generation. In Europe and the West, they are the largest demographic by far of the population. In fact they are a huge demographic wave, making up the largest section of the community.

Not only is the age group making up the largest

I am so happy that this is the first time I have gone through such an intelligent question especially about the age factor.

SFI itself promulgate that Earn Second Income through their great system. Of late, many people have joined in SFI to earn such an Income in addition to their First Source of Income. Once the people realize that their Second Income is much more than what they earn by working under stress for longer hours to earn their primary income, they chose to make SFI as their

Hello, Fernando:

My first response is that there is no preferred age category for SFI. It is a great income opportunity for people of all ages and for a person who has not yet started to build a second income, the best time to start is right now.

However, your question is focused on people 50 and upwards, so here is a short answer to a very good question:

First of all, it must be pointed out to them that their retirement years are approaching and it is best not to

There is the saying that "you cannot show an old dog new tricks", but that's not always true. And SFI proves this saying to not be true at all. You CAN show them SFI, what's new with it, and how they can get started if they decide to. The key here is just sharing information with them, letting them know how it works. From there, they can decide what it is that they want to do. We cannot force anyone to join no matter what age they are; they have to make that decision for themselves.

SFI provides the perfect answer for the 50+ demographic.
Probably the most convincing argument is the significant number of affiliates that are over 50 and successful in this job. The Leaderboard illustrates this quite clearly.

SFI is the ideal platform to put one’s accumulated experience into practice and the benefits that come with SFI are especially appealing to folks over 50, as retirement is just around the corner consequently they are very aware of their financial status.

If they are really interested in online marketing or to earn extra income they will know age is not the issue. My point of view is that over 50s should be easier to recruit because they have more working or business experience and they will appreciate the chance SFI is giving them.

Sharing SFI with them or showing them how you are doing it yourself may change their mindset. People want to see to believe so get them to watch you in action and offer your help if they need to get a computer

I joined SFI in December 2012 at the age of 62. I am happy as I am getting commissions regularly though in small amounts. I am neither disappointed nor discouraged by my age. I am putting my efforts in part time since I have regular job still. I have a strong belief I can build my business and make substantial commissions in another two years time when I stop working for someone.

Trust me, believe in your abilities you will succeed. Age is not a factor at all if you the ability to read

My fellow SFI Affiliates,
Please let me tell you that people over 50 are very difficult to "convince", especially if they are financially secure, still working full time.
However, many people are still searching for "residual income online" no matter what country, language, religion, age, sex, experience or money.
Those are the people you must reach out and try to find and offer the SFI opportunity.
If they are young, with no experience, they can learn and

Might I start off by saying that age really is just a number when it come's to SFI and anybody wanting to start there own business well they can do in less than 5 minutes of their time, 1 minute if they are eager, that is what I would start off by saying and then continue with...

I think it should be easier than to convince someone youger. They usually have more free time in their life. And also, they like to socialize and get new friends, and all of that they can do on SFI Forum and support groups. Also I think they can be better in teaching others.

In our Marketing Center-Marketing Aids we have a lot of aids that are talking about retirement. I think they are most likely addressed for people over 50. They can relate with them the most,and wanting to start earning
