Hello,
Almost everyone starts SFI business without investing money.
It's after a period of a few days to a month that some start investing.
During this time we try to learn how it works and, while learning we gaining AVPs and we attain easily the Executive Affiliate (EA) rank without spending a single penny.

It's after this period that with our EA status, the knowledge and the confidence we have gained, most of us are beginning to have their first investment in the form of Standing Order (SO) with 1500 SVPs.

If you do not want to invest money in your SFI business, here is what I think you can try:
+ Start recruiting PSAs and teach them how SFI program does work,
+ Convince them to buy the New Member Pack (https://www.sfimg.com/FT) or an other item worth at least $ 20 at TripleClicks to become Fast Tracks.
At the beginning of the next month, if they are willing to have a Standing Order with at least 1500 SVPs they will become EA2 and you will have 100 AVPs on each of them.
In addition you will have commissions on each Standing Order and on every purchase made by each of your PSAs. You'll have commissions on every VP earned by your PSAs with the rank of EA2 or above. (Read your Compensation Plan for details).

You also need to refer merchants to TripleClicks using the methods available on the Affiliate Center.
When an ECA you refered to TripleClicks has listed his 1st item you have automatically 100 AVPs. You also earn 100 AVPs when one of your PSAs who has opened an ECA has listed his 1st item.
In addition, you will earn commissions every time your PSAs and ECAs will sell something on TripleClicks.

With all the AVPs and the money you will earn from your PSAs and merchants that you refered to SFI you will need to set a Standing Order with 1500 SVPs to be a Team Leader.
you must have at least 1500 SVPS for attaining the status of Team Leader.
(see THE PLAN at https: // www .sfimg.com / the_plan).

I wish you good luck.

For the new affiliates it is possible to be successful without investing any money for about a month or two, as in the first month, they earn the maximum VersaPoints (VPs) and can easily make 1500 VPs to achieve EA level. However, if there is no investment, the success and growth is very slow and takes a lot of hard work and more time on daily basis. Furthermore, there is no business without investment. One has to ultimately make some little investment towards the Standing Order for 1500 VPs, in order to be secure and achieve EA level every month and simultaneously have more time in hand to spend on building their team, which is the key to success with SFI business.

However, if one has to be successful without making any investment, the following steps must be followed:

1. Log in to their SFI and TripleClicks accounts daily without fail and complete their daily actions in To-Do list
2. Complete the weekly actions to earn 38 VPs every week
3. Play free games, which give MRPs, which can then be used to buy TCredits on TripleCicks in order to play the paid games to earn 1 VP for each
4. Try to sponsor as many affiliates as possible and help them to become EA in the 1st month
5. With some TCredits try to bid on double MRP auctions
6. Advertise on free websites and blogs to make sales on TripleClicks to earn direct commissions
7. Make use of ECA program by introducing ECAs in order to make commission on their sales
8. Sponsor members on TripleClicks to earn direct commission on their purchases.

Success in SFI is not entirely based on money. In order words, it is not the man that invests the most that becomes the most successful; however money has its own place in the business.
Therefore, to answer your question: "Can I be successful in SFI without investing any money? And if so, how?, the answer is YES and this is HOW:

First, you need to know that your inability to invest money in the business would require a great deal of time and devotion to succeed. Really, many things you could have done with money would require getting them achieved through personal effort, time and skill.

You need to religiously carry out your "Daily To Do List". The 11 actions that do not require TCredits must be done. This gives you 308 to 341 Action VersaPoints (AVP) monthly. By rating your Sponsor and SFI, you get 15 AVP, Stream posts 3 AVP, Click on the 'your TConnect page' and send a letter from 'GENEALOGY' to your downline. Do this every single week and you will earn 35 VP x 4 = 140VP. You have 499 AVP already.

Now you need to master online free ads.
When you advertise, use several free methods: social network marketing solo ads, Top Sponsor Ads in Ezines, text ad exchanges, free classified ads, business cards with your ad posted at colleges, grocery stores, laundry mats, coffee shops, etc This is your lifeline.

Getting PRMs is a priority of your ads. You need TripleClicks members that would make purchases. They would be attracted to Tripleclicks through PriceBenders ads, Eager Zebra games ads, Garage sales and Economic Commerce Associate program. 45% CV from PRMs and 10% CV from ECA would greatly enhance your business.

Then, you need concurrently to sponsor new Affiliates using all available free methods as described above. Building a team of active Affiliates would give more AVP and commissions to further strengthen your business. You receive between 100 and 500 VP for any of your PSA that achieves between EA2 and PTL rank. Also you earn 45% CV of their purchases.

When you start making commissions, you should plough back into the business. With your commissions, you can set up a Standing Order of 1500 VP, especially the 125 TCredits SO. Use this TCredits in participating in PriceBenders Auctions and you could win more PSAs, CSAs, TCredits etc. Also, you need TCredits in participating in Eager Zebra games for winning.

Before you know it, your commission is growing and you'll be able to spend it to further enhance your business through PSAs To Go, S-Buider shares, PTC ads, TCredits purchases for PriceBenders Auctions etc

In fact after spending a while without quick success, I decided to go through the route of not investing so that I don't get frustrated. I used free means of sponsoring PSAs and PRMs and after a while I started receiving commissions which I plough back into the opportunity. Today I earn in excess of my SO purchases and right on my way to earning cool extra income.

It is better to stay and toil even without money for investment than quitting because of not having money to invest.

Yes, you can be successful in SFI without investing any money but it will require some bit of work from your part. Some marketing steps are 100% free. Generally, the advertising/marketing that require payment are ways that can grow your business faster. It does NOT take money to make money online.

Below are 4 surefire ways that you can advertise your SFI/TripleClicks business for free:

Blogging:
One of the most effective ways to promote your business and drive traffic to your website is by blogging. Write articles or have someone to write them for you about topics related to your business or niche. The most important thing is that you do not try to sell within the articles. You want to publish articles that provide valuable and informative content that people want to read. When they find your articles they will start to consider you an expert in this area and when time comes that they are ready for the types of products or services that you are selling there is a good chance that they will consider you first.

Traffic Exchange:
Traffic exchanges can actually be a great source of free traffic to your website. This is especially true if you are in the home-based business industry and you are promoting various moneymaking or online marketing related products and services. There are many who believe that the traffic from these types of exchanges does not have any value but I tend to disagree. Everyone who is surfing on a traffic exchange has an Internet business and is looking for traffic to their website. They are already qualified prospects in the sense that you know that they have money to spend on online business. You also know that they’re interested in making money online. These are the types of prospects that you want viewing your website. I would not worry about the fact that they already have an online business. By surfing traffic exchanges and getting credit towards your own traffic you can develop a number of good leads for your business.

Social Media:
Did you know that the average person on Facebook has over 300 friends in their network. What if you have only 100 friends and each one of those shared your message about your business with in their own network of 300 friends. I am sure you can already see the potential. You initially have a potential reach of 30,000 people and that does not include if those people share your message within their networks. Get involved with social media and especially Facebook and start to talk about your business in a way that is not overly aggressive or too strong of a sale pitch and you could see big things start to happen over time.

Email Signature:
Nobody wants to promote their business to their friends and family. What if I told you that you could still do it without really doing it? By simply adding a one or two line message about your business as part of your pre-configured e-mail signature every single person you e-mail will receive your promotional message. Most e-mail applications will allow you to have a set signature that automatically goes out with every e-mail that you send. But doing it this way the people that you e-mail will not see it as being overly aggressive and you can be sure that they will see your message. That way you could actually have people within your own personal network contacting you and actually asking you about your business instead of you having to tell them about it.

These are just a few of the free ways that you can promote your business online. They are also very effective strategies to get your business the place of profitability and success.

I believe it is possible - not easy but possible. I've been with SFI since January 2014. I qualified as EA every month without investing money. I simply do not have money to invest.

Some people will tell you if you are serious you will invest money. They will tell you if you have internet access you have money. They will tell you to cut down elsewhere and invest that money in your business - but what if the only "luxury" you have is your internet access? You cut that down, how will you build your SFI business with no internet access?

The 1st thing you have to do is learn to not pay attention to these people. If you are patient and you think out of the box you can do it.

Get a team together - it does not have to be thousands of affiliates. If you have 5 active affiliates and you teach them right and they do the same with 5 affiliates and so it goes on you will soon have a strong team and you will see the money come in - at first very slow but it builds up.

When you have enough money in your account use it to purchase T-credits, books that can help you build your business, anything you can use to build your business.

You can recruit people for the Pay per action program and earn a few quick bucks - but remember they will not bring long term earnings.

Advertise Triple Clicks and specific products to make commission on sales - commission you use again to build your business.

Finally - be patient and keep your goal in mind when you are not doing so well and you feel you want to quit.

Good luck and I hope you are going to help me to prove to those negative people that it can be done.

You can have success with SFI without investing.

Your business plan needs to use strategies which does not require financial investments but use strategies that use social capital and networking skills.

Social capital - is the group of people that you associate with on a regular basis. This group means family members, friends, organizations that you are involved with such as sporting teams, bible study groups, running club members, coffee groups, and those that you pay money for their services such as hairdresser, mechanic, accountant, massage therapist, dog walker et al. You can connect with all members of your social group by using SFI flyers, e-cards, and even host SFI house parties.

Networking means using various ways to meet new people through letter writing campaigns, on-line posting on a blog, YouTube or free on-line advertising sites, and even printing flyers to be delivered in person to businesses and people's homes.

Your business strategies are best to focus on recruitment to create downline strength so PSA's and CSA's can continue with the marketing and advertising of SFI which will bring in life long income.

Promoting SFI to local businesses so you can develop your ECA program will enable you to earn re-occuring income each month without you investing one cent.

There are so many ways to work SFI without spending your money but that doesn't mean you don't put forth your own effort to share SFI with others.

Success with SFI can not be made alone - it is done by working collaboratively with your team.

SFI is a Collective success.

Good Luck!

That's how wonderful SFI is? The entire concept is so designed that it can cater to one and all. If you feel investment constraints monetarily you can make up with your time and determination. How to do that can be easily understood following the plans that suits you best. You can choose one or all to get your growth going and be successful. They are:

Plan I: Start generating PSA’s through your references and by advertising on free sites to grow your team > motivate them to be Fast Tracker EA > guide them to sustain their ranks > share duplication principle to get their team growth going and improve their longevity. They grow you grow. You have only invested your time here and your earnings have started.

Plan II: Refer ECA’s and assist them upload their products, if possible in selling them, too. With their first sale your earnings have started for lifetime to come with investment of your time only.

Plan III: Promote your store (Tripleclicks) and start generating PRM’s. Show them the advantages of Tripleclicks with products and features available. With their activities going along your earnings and growth is taken care of.
You are required to invest only your time in all of them to start your earnings from each, respectively. No money invested. Your success lies in your hands.

Thanks for this question.

Yes. Its possible to to be successful in SFI without investing any money. It all depends on your smart work:

1. After joining, in the first 2 months its fairly possible to gather 1500 VP (the minimum
requirement) & become/remain an EA;
2. From 3rd month, in the normal course, you need to spend some money to earn sufficient
VP to retain your EA status;
3. However, this can be avoided or kept at minimum, provided:

a) In the first 2 months itself, you develop a team comprising of sufficient number of
strong and active members who become/remain an EA or above every month;
b) You create Personally Referred Members (PRM) in sufficient numbers to TC Stores
who will follow TC Rules & keep buying products regularly; If they do it every month, you
will earn VP and commission;
c) Think, plan and possible please indulge in Transfer Buying of your house hold requirements
every month. This way you can cover home requirements as well as earn VP without spending
money separately;
d) Create ECA for your/your friends products. When sale of products happen, you earn income;
e) Use TC Stores to dispose off your unwanted materials and earn additional income to
take care of your VP requirements;
f) Play EZ Free games so that you will be entered automatically in Daily Crown; If you are lucky
you can win benefits including Gift Certificate ($20), T Credits, MRP, etc.
g) Play Card King, Gold Streak, etc daily - These can help you in many ways to develop
your business without spending money;
h) Take part in T-Time Draw every day; if you win TCredits, you can use them efficiently to
earn VP;

Conclusion:

1. We are not investing any money in SFI;
2. Rather, we may spend (depending on the requirement) either to promote the business or
build the team or to buy materials to meet our VP requirement;
3. By exploring all possible " free means" as detailed above, we can avoid spending money
to some extent - but it can not be avoided completely.

Succeeding in SFI without investing any money is typically not likely. I know many people have little to no money and that's why they join SFI as it is a FREE to join opportunity and SFI doesn't require any buying of products--though it rewards those who do with VersaPoints under the Sales VP category.

While there are plenty of techniques a person can employ that cost little to no money, this practice should be a temporary one--until you gain some revenues through your business OR through some other means.

Eventually you will need to invest money. This includes advertising, providing incentives for the performers on your team (which helps to build this business), obtaining various tools and other business building resources, a computer or other mobile device--or time in an internet cafe, and yes--even buying products for yourself. The best way to market affiliate products is to FIRST experience the products you are promoting first hand

Let's duplicate this insistence of being successful without investing any money. Let's say you have 100 affiliates under you and no one invests any money. First of all the likelihood of this outcome (having 100 affiliates under you this way) is very improbable. Secondly, the income picture of this scenario is dismal for each and every team member here. When we apply duplication to this insistence of investing no money it really unveils the reality of such a notion.

The key is to learn how to get started with little or no money WHILE discovering ways of acquiring the capital you need BOTH through your SFI business AND THROUGH other resourceful means where you live. This sort of mentality EMPOWERS people so that they CAN BE successful!

Can you harvest a field of corn without ever planting any corn? No. It takes money to make money. But again, if your current situation is one of being without money (capital) with which you can invest in this business, you're not destined to failure! Again, consider the points of this article on what to do.

While you're working toward acquiring money each month toward some sort of financial budget for you business, there are some things you can do that don't cost anything which will lead to seeing some results in your business.

I will provide some topics, you can do some research. Here's a few:
* Learn about and become effective with some traditional network marketing techniques and strategies on a person to person level (p2).
* Learn how to effectively promote this business to your warm market.
* Be sure to INCLUDE those who have money in your person to person marketing efforts. (Some people won't approach professionals, or people who seem like they "don't need" to do this business--but my experience has proven that they are the ones who WANT what this business offers!)
* Become good at interacting with people so that you can develop cold contacts into warm contacts.
* Find local opportunities where you can somehow promote your business
* Organize a local team and together tackle free methods of online marketing--set up a co-op for this so that everyone working together also reaps the results.
* And of course... be sure you've really looked at the MARKETING METHODS link of the MARKETING section of the SFI Affiliate Homepage Toolbar.

These are habits that should continue throughout your business even after you acquire the money to invest. If you don't have the money to invest right now, you can still do this business. Just don't make it your goal to succeed without investing--"If you sow sparingly, you shall also reap sparingly." And if you don't sow at all......Don't take that chance!

It is possible to be successful in SFI without investing any money, but you will have to find some people with money to make this possible.

You can qualify as an EA your first month, and possibly your second month without any investment. If you can find some PSA's in that first month, or later, who purchase 1500 VP worth of products at TripleClicks, you will make about $8 in direct commissions. The money needed to purchase a 1500 Standing order is $36.25 a month, so if you have 9 PSAs who are purchasing the 1500 VP T-Credit pack, you can use the commissions to purchase your own and assure yourself of EA status each month. At that point, you will have 1500 VP + 900 VP from the 9 EA2 in your downline or 2400 VP a month coming in, which, when coupled with your daily tasks would qualify you as a BTL giving you VP matching and Second Home CSA. CSA's can also give you commissions, which helps things along.

The trick, then, is to recruit 9 active PSA with the money to purchase a 1500 VP pruchase which will give you the direct commissions to parlay into your own purchase every month.

I counsel my people to set aside $40 a month for 4 years. That allows them to qualify as an EA each month, and find PSA's who will also invest $40 a month for 4 years. By purchasing T-Credits and bidding on double MRP auctions, they may win stuff and will earn PSAs. They can use the MRP to purchase PSA's from one of the ECA's who sells them and thus grow thier buisness slowly but surely.
