Unfortunately, you can't...
SFI doesn't 'work' if you don't...
Look at the 'Rules of Success' here: https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index and it will all be clear to you...
If you really want to succeed in this kind of business you should 'be there', every day, no exceptions... doing at least the 'dailies' but - that's the minimum...
Treat your business like a business, you and only you (and your team) make things rolling...
Do as much as you can, as soon as you can there's

Running a business is a complex job. It needs creativity and constant adjustment to changing conditions. Even planes fly on autopilot only when circumstances are unlikely to change, never when taking off or landing. Yet, even then, close monitoring is essential.

Running your SFI business is very much like flying a plane. You have to be very well equipped with knowledge and skills to even try starting a business. Once you have decided to meet the challenge, start building it step by step,

Hello Aleksandre,

We have seen a lot of replies but they are not really answering your two questions. Instead, they are answering another question, a third un-asked question which is “Is it advisable?” I strongly agree to their replies to this third question, though. In fact, I also do not recommend, not even suggest, you run your SFI business on autopilot. A team leader should be present all the time. How can you lead if you are not around?

Having said that, I would

SFI to run on autopilot?

The ONLY way to get something to go on autopilot is to get someone else to do it for you. The truth is, you may not want your SFI business to run autopilot. The best way, I believe, to get your SFI business operating in maximum capacity is to develop a team of individuals who are your ACTIVE affiliates.

Once you have developed a strong team of affiliates who are doing GREAT work on your team, you might be able to change your strategy from GAINING to

You can set up your SFI business to run on "autopilot", but it takes putting in a strong time commitment and a financial commitment at the onset.

The fist couple of months you are going to want to study everything about SFI. Log in every day to get every available action VP, participate in the forum, and familiarize yourself with TripleClicks.

While you are doing this, you will need to be doing a lot of advertising and even buying PSA's because you will need to have

Much of SFI runs on autopilot with the heavy investment in software and programming staff. However, it is not possible to run my SFI business totally on autopilot but certain aspects of the business can be run on autopilot. Some of the ways to run your SFI business on autopilot is listed here:

EMAIL MARKETING WITH AUTORESPONDERS
Email marketing can be a powerful tool for your SFI business. One way to automate email marketing is to create auto responders. After someone signs up for

Hi Aleksandre,

I think it all depends on what kind of business you have here at SFI. I'm sure there must be some areas where it is feasible, and you will surely receive many useful answers from affiliates who practice this way of doing business.

The only thing I can contribute to your question is this: I am assuming that part of your business includes building a team of affiliates. If so, I don't think it would be very practical to run this portion of your business on autopilot.

You can only run your business on autopilot to a point. You still must come every day to clear red tabs, do the other regular tasks to maintain your rank.

Once you get your team established, they will mostly (hopefully!!) be self-sufficient so you may concentrate on training newbies, advertising, blogging, updating, etc.

While your team continues to duplicate itself, you can let them more or less take care of themselves, but I believe there are too many other aspects that

I see no way to set SFI on autopilot. You need to be logging in each day and doing the actions in your to-do list to build up your points.

If you are taking part in the auctions you will need to be there to see what is going on.

You will need to be writing emails and encouraging comments for your active downline members.

You will need to be checking on how your affiliates are doing and encouraging them where necessary.

A lot of businesses are of the hands

Yes you can set your business on autopilot, although it is not advisable.

You can set up a standing order for 6 S-Builder Co-op's which will give you 1680VP a month, this will enable you to achieve executive affiliate every month.

1 share of the S Builder will give you around 4 or 5 Personally Sponsored affiliates a month.

My best advise is to log in every day and do your daily, weekly and monthly actions,to
gain as many VersaPoints as possible, and if you can
