On SFI the Income Stream that will make you the most money is Sponsoring affiliates.
On Tripleclicks you accumulate Sales VP when you sell products to your personally referred members and you also get direct commissions. For example you sell products to 5 TC members that you refer and get 8000 sales VP and a $100.00 direct commission ok that is good money!
On SFI you sponsor about 10 affiliates who sell products on Tripleclicks and accumulate a total of 30,000 Sales VP and $1000.00 in direct commissions. Do you see the point here? Now that you read this example which one do you think makes more money?
I copied and pasted a paragraph from the article " Ask Gery " to answer your question.
" It really isn't an either/or proposition. The key to making truly BIG money is to focus on Referring Members, Sponsoring Affiliates, and teaching your team members to duplicate your efforts.
So, yes—definitely use and share TripleClicks.com products, but also tell other people about the SFI business opportunity. When you do this, it's like cloning yourself. And with each clone, you earn a portion of every dollar in commissions they generate. Now you're no longer limited to just what YOU can do. Now you can be earning money around the clock and around the world, month after month after month. "
So in this paragraph it is clear that both of them are important for making money on SFI to build your business but in order to make even more money you have to spend time sponsoring affiliates and teaching them how to do the same work you do of referring TC members and Sponsoring SFI affiliates. One is not better than the other but they both work together to ensure a steady flow of income.
I recommend that you read these two articles to learn the importance of Quantity vs Quality.

It is important to spend a good amount of time sponsoring affiliates but not all the time. Sponsoring is only the first step, the next step is to separate the wheat from the chaff or to go through a deck of cards to find the 4 aces. Sponsoring affiliates will lots of inactive affiliates or tire kickers who want to make money without doing any work so those will usually quit and a year later get purged out of the system but in the meantime you have to spend time looking at your genealogy and Movers tab to locate the affiliates who really are serious about building their own business and then you will succeed when you spend time working with them, and teaching them all the things you did to succeed. The next step to sponsoring is Duplication or as Gery says " Cloning yourself" So in summary it is not about Sponsoring thousands of affiliates that will make you money but sponsoring only 5 or 10 hard working affiliates that will make a very decent income.
I answered the question to the best of my ability but it is important you read the three articles I gave you to fully understand the importance of Sponsoring.
