First, I believe I would be sure to buy a New Member Pack (NMP) - which carries an automatic EA qualifying 1500VPs - within my first 10 days with SFI. During this time you will learn about the value of NMP as well as about the value of a Standing Order (SO).

Among other things, NMP will give you some benefits that will last your entire career with SFI, even though it is a one-time purchase at the $20US price. SO is an easy way to maintain your EA2 status (minimum qualifying purchase

I would choose to invest first in an EA-qualifying purchase for the following reasons :

When you achieved EA, you earn 6 ways rather as an Affiliate which entitles you to earn 2 ways only.

*You earn 45% of the CV (commission volume) on PSA purchases
*Tripleclicks Executive Pool Shares
*Receive Co-Sponsor Commissions
*10% ECA Royalties
*CSA (Co-Sponsored Affiliate) allotment
*Receive free 10 TCredits
* and many more : https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart

Hello Ana

When you are just starting with SFI, I personally believe it is better to purchase an EA qualifying item. There are different items available, such as TCredits (various packs 100, 125, 200, 240 & more), PSA's to Go (50 pack). S-Builder, as well as a variety of dietary supplements. As you know, when purchasing a standing order, you are assured of EA status every month. This would give you the opportunity to relax, read and learn as much as you can about the SFI process.

It depends on your disposable & discretionary monies you have available. If you financially capable do both. If you're on a slim budget in my opinion it's better to initially focus on your EA/EA2 qualifications first by investing in the 'Standing Order Process'. WHY?.. SFI is not your typical get rich quick promo that never pans out. This is a business that must be constructed day by day and brick by brick! " The Brick meaning solid PSA's". This is business is like framing a house.

We should invest on both because these are the two foundations of a successful SFI business.

Maintaining our EA status is important because it will set an example on your coming affiliates. It will also put you in a position to get more perks like getting and holding on to your PSA's.

Most important however, is investing on advertising or on any form of getting affiliates because active affiliates are the ones who will give us income in the long run.

The main issue

Both are great investments but if you have to choose between 1 or the other as a starting point...

Purchase your EA qualifying purchase. An EA status does receive long term benefits such as T-credits, Banner/s for your profile, Second Home CSA's.

Once you or an affiliate is able to do so- invest in advertisements so as to sustain your EA status through various streams of income that is offered through SFI.

SFI is an accumulation of decisions that you make. Both ideas

The question is what do you want to achieve when you start out in SFI.The object is to reach EA2 status in your 2nd month and to keep it for always. You can then go for the Team Leader positions.

So the first action you take when you join is to learn all there is in SFI. They will tell you about how to become an EA and how to keep the status.
Also you will learn about advertising and all that goes with it.

You have to be an EA2 to reap the benefits of SFI.
You can

Hello Ana

1. When you start your SFI Business, the first thing is to learn as much as you can about your SFI business. Read the information under the Tab “Start” there it says Ultra Simple Plan which emphasizes on becoming an EA as soon as possible.

2. Then read the “Basics” which tells to earn by accumulating Versa points. Generate sales at Tripleclicks. Maximize your commissions by sponsoring and duplication. Also start earning extra income from your CSAs and sponsoring

Good day to all.

It's better to have both but initially we should maintain our EA level to have all the

benefits of TC Executive pool.

To maintain EA level the best thing is purchasing a SO of 125 Tcredits.

With this one can easily maintain the EA level and can concentrate on advertising.

The effective and easy advertising gateway we have is the JMT gateway.

And many more free gateways we have provided with here in SFI.
