Yes, you can be successful in SFI without investing any money- it will just take you much, much longer to reach the top. And the longer it takes you to your achieve your goal, the more frustrated and unmotivated you will become, and may eventually quit. So, yes, with reservations. Because SFI has provided lots of free resources, it is up to you to make use of them.

You need to devote your time, energy and efforts in the following activities:

. Learn and do from day one how to earn VP and collect the maximum you can to become EA and be diligent about doing your daily tasks. And read, read, read and put into practice what you've read in the Launchpad, SFI Rules of Success, and all other Training Tools provided for you, free.

. Learn how to maximise all opportunities for earning VP that does not require you to buy TCredits and therefore not spend any money by completing all the free sources of VP, doing your Daily To-Do, Weekly and Monthly Actions without fail. Intermediate Actions has some items which new affiliates normally leave alone for want of know-how, such as installing TC Banner on your Blog/Web; by setting up Advertising co-op for your team and creating Avatar at TripleClicks to earn 215 VP,

. Submit great answers to Ask SC for a chance to earn unlimited VPs.

. Participate in all contests that does not require TCredits to join but have the potential for you to earn lots of prizes which will add productivity to your business, such as Daily Grand Drawing, Daily Crown, the T-Time which is on every hour on the hour for a chance to earn free 2TCredits.

. Learn how to sponsor by utilising all the marketing tools and aids provided free and accessible at all times on your homepage.

. Learn how to duplicate, by identifying 3 to 5 workers from the new PSAs you have sponsored by following the SFI Ultra-Simple 3-Step plan.

. Learn how to nurture, motivate, mentor, support, etc. your Movers to be productive. Failing that you will have an uphill battle to maintain your rank every month as you will be depending on their success so much because of your inability to invest in Standing Order to keep your EA status. Be a super awesome sponsor that you can ever be!

. Learn how to advertise, using social media and other free and be super active in promoting SFI business opportunity and the TripleClicks products and games.

These are just some of the reasons why success in SFI will take longer without investing as you need everything you've got except money, all your time commitment creativity, resourcefulness and effort to build your SFI business.

Yes, you can be successful if you are a great seller.

You will work in SFI on your daily-weekly-monthly actions, and other action that will provide you 1500 AVP for your first month. But, in your second month you are not going to have the same amount of VP in your To-Do List. So, you will need to purchase some money to maintain EA status. If you are unemployed, the best thing you need to know from begining is that this job is very well paid if you are good in marketing and also in selling. In your first month you need to advertise this job, to make your team, learn them how to do the same that you're doing, and behind that, you need to sell products from TripleClicks to earn money that you will need in your second month. Connect with ECAs, advertise their products, sell them and earn more.

Also, you can be successful with just some luck.

Play Eager Zebra games. You have many games with free entries (Card King, Knockout Trivia, Gold Streak), and also, so important, T-Time. Read newsletters and play Spin&Win when it's on. You also have many awards on Daily Grand, so rate additional 20 answers on ASK SC for one additional entry on Daily Grand.

Hello Zoran,

Every business undertaking needs some kind of investment if it is to be successful. However, at SFI you have many opportunities to finance your business without spending any of YOUR money. How? By referring customers to TripleClicks.

When your PRMs (Personally Referred Members) buy products from TripleClicks, you not only earn a commission, you also earn VersaPoints. VersaPoints help you reach Executive Affiliate rank at SFI, and the money you earn from commissions can be used to buy the products you need to build a successful business.

You can promote Pricebenders auctions and Eager Zebra games by installing one or more banners on your blog or website. Or you can use the Share It option on your Alerts page every time you win an auction or Eager Zebra game to entice your friends to join TripleClicks!

You can also promote TripleClicks products, like TCredits, or even products sold by ECAs from your part of the world. Check the AFFILIATE TAB below the product to see how many VP and how much Direct Commission you can earn. Use the Share It link above the Add to Cart button or the product referral link to promote it.

In conclusion, you can be successful at SFI without investing YOUR money. Just focus on generating sales and finance your business with OTHER people's money until you can afford to invest your own.

Everyone's success is not the same.

While one may consider success making a profit of 20.00 per month, another may view success as a 6 figure income.

To answer your question, I will take it, that you are referring to becoming a team leader and making money on a regular basis. The answer is 'YES.'

Any type of business requires both time and money as an investment.

At SFI, I believe you can earn an income and become a Gold Team Leader or above by letting others work for you. Not doing your work, but working for you.

1- 5 active PSAs who become team leaders and are doing well.
2- ECA's you recruited and are generating sales on a regular basis.
3- Family members and friends that you recruited and are purchasing from TripleClicks regularly.

The problem, though is how will you get these workers to join and stay on at SFI.
Without money to buy sponsored PSA's or advertise to recruit them, it will be difficult.

You can use free advertising online, but I do not believe it is possible this way. There are too many of these advertisements PAID and FREE and inactivity is high.


This is how you may do it.
Work locally- Advertise through word of mouth to those around you. Use Free local methods of advertising.

Promote to:
-People you meet
-People you know
-Local businesses
-Local community groups

In other words, everyday leave your computer and set out to meet these people wherever they are. Walk or drive, but make it an offline business of yours. This will shorten your computer work.

Sponsor your PSA's and recruit both ECA's andTripleClicks members this way.

Once you have built a team. you will be able to work offline or online with them. You will start investing money when you start making money.

Hope this helps.

That’s a good question. The answer is YOU CAN.

Let me explain it to you briefly why my answer is you can be successful without investing any money but this is going to be a lot of hard work on the part of the member in SFI. As we all know that every business all over the world needs investments. It is very elementary to each every individual even all the member of SFI that has been successful in this kind of business can agree that to create a business it needs an investments.

Here’s how to do it.

In SFI the investments of a member is time, determination and have the guts of doing the advertising and marketing (selling) of product at SFI/TripleClick. In SFI/TripleClicks there’s a lot of product to choose from in every different country. But you will only promote, advertise and sell what is available product in your country. Find the product from your country that can be easily accessible, be sold, find and distributed, so you won’t have any problem concerning the shipping. However, in SFI/TripleClicks some of the items that being sold is shipping free. You must sell a product that is already there in your country. This was a great help, because it helps you from discomfort of selling products to other customer that is out of your country. The problem of marketing product that is out of your country is the long time of delivery and this will create a negative comment to you and to avoid embarrassment and refunds for the delay.

You can do all the marketing to your community or even sell it to your friends, family and other personalities in your area; it’s either sell it online or promoting it personally. By doing personal marketing and endorsement or even giving brochure of the products you’re selling. You must see to it that the customers have all necessary information and idea of what they are buying. The more product they buy, the bigger points, rewards and incentive you will get from SFI. There you don’t have to worry about the points (Versa Points) you need to be eligible for your qualification for the rank in SFI. Because every product you sell there’s an attachment to it like points, commission and incentives. You have gained your status by selling the product you advertise in your country or area. Convincing your prospective customer to buy the product that you were selling is always available and will receive within the prescribed time and date.

There’s your answer on how you can be successful in SFI without investing money.

I hope this helps.

This way they will get curious about TripleClicks.

Another great place is the Pricebenders Auctions and promote TCredits products to people to purchase to bid on these auctions, you get the commission.

You can also sell off your own stuff like a garage sale on TripleClicks and earn from that also.

Sign up ECA is another way of creating an income.

Now with these commissions you earn you can invest in a standing order to become EA and receive 2 CSA's.

Remember that the best way always is to duplicate what you do and sign PSA's up and teach them what you have learn and what you do.

You always have to invest something, time to learn and to make the way better you have to invest money because if you don't, it is like trying to drive a vehicle without gas, you are not going to get far.

Blessings and hope this help you.

Yes, you can be successful in SFI without investing any money.
But you must be prepared to invest your time. much of your time is needed in the absence of money.. These are the HOWs:--

1. You will need to embark on free advertisement of your SFI Gateway.
2. You will need to market your SFI Gateway to close friends and relatives.
3. You must learn how to drive free traffic to your SFI Gateway from all over the internet.
4. You will need to embark on 1-on-1 marketing discussions with your pals & neighbors.
5. You will need to post on social network sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc);

Yes, you can be successful in SFI without investing a single penny!
Question is….. Do you have the patience and persistence?

Every hour, Tripleclicks offers 60 TCredits in T-Time contest. That is 24 chances a day to win 2 TCredits.

Every day, there are the Daily Crown and Daily Grand Draws:
Daily Crown Draw: Automatically submitted when you play any Eager Zebra Games
(including FREE Games). Whatever you win, they can be translated
into TCredits.
Daily Grand Draw: Perform the “RED TAB” task, acquire 10 AVPs and you can enter
the Daily Grand Draw on the following day. Win CSAs (whom you can
earn commissions from), TCredits, and Member Reward Points
(to purchase TCredits with).
Card King: 2 Free Games daily – the prize? A share of TCredits.
Gold Streak: 2 Free Games daily – the prize! A share of TCredits.
Knockout Trivia: 2 Free Games daily. Prize – and extra share in the Daily Crown Draw.

Instead of bidding in Pricebenders auction (where you usually need quite a pool of TCredits), play the Pick-the-Price contests to try and win more TCredits.

Bottom-line: Build your TCredits before you build anything else.
Like I’ve said… it’s possible!
Requirements? TIME, PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE.

All the best to your success with SFI.

No one can be successful in "any" business, without investing money!
Therefore, "To be Successful in a Business", without investing "any" money(!), is (almost) impossible!

However,
One "can" be successful in SFI, without investing "any" money!!
(if one doesn't count amount spent on "computer/laptop/smartphones,etc or Internet/wi-fi/3G/4G, etc., as "expenses" or "money investment) :)

Provided...
One is willing to make use of all the FREE Opportunities provided by SFI/TC, with "whole-hearted" effort!

One has...
1) One's own, FREE online store in TripleClicks, with almost 90,000 products & 4000 ECAs to choose from and promote! One should first look at the possibilities of "transfer Buying"; then make some "smart" choices form the near 90,000 products listed in TC, and promote the "sales" with a sincere effort! Where there is will, there is a way......and in this case, SFI has provided a whole, big "Online Hyper Market", absolutely FREE, to all it's members! If one makes a sincere effort, he/she should be (atleast) able to support their Standing Order, entirely through their own earnings, (again, atleast) as early as, one's Second or Third Month in SFI/TC!

2) ECA Program (Introducing "Local" Shop Owners & Business Persons to SFI/TC)

3) SFI Program (Duplication, Building Your Own Team/Business),

4) Pay-per-Action (Introduce PSAs to SFI and earn money)

5) T-Time Winner : Win (FREE) 2 TCredits "Daily" through participation in T-Time "hourly" draws!

6) Daily Grand Draw : Participate Daily & Win Prizes/Rewards, that would help the business!

7) Participate in E365 & Other Contest and win attrative prizes!

8) Participate in Eager Zebra Games & Pb Auctions, (using the TCredits won or received FREE)

The above are few methods for "Earning in SFI/TC" without making "any" investment!

However,

To be Successful in SFI, one has to...

i) Actively Participate, Daily!

ii) "Utilize" ALL the SFI provided Training Material, Research Material, Power Tools, Marketing Aids & Methods, Ask Gery Answers, Ask SC Q/A, SFI Forum, A2A Instant Mailer, etc and "Build Your Own Team"! Teach your Team Members to "Duplicaate"!

iii) Create/Maintain your own blogs, web-site(s), etc advertising SFI/TC Products, EagerZebra, Pricebenders Auctions, etc.,; promote SFI/ECA program!

iii) Learn (through SFI) regarding "Advertising", do your own advertising (or use S-builder co-op);

iii) Last, but not least, Practice Gery's "Rules of Succe$$" and be an "Awesome Sponsor"!

Best Wishes!

You can but it is not easy.

As soon as you join, get into the habit of doing the DAILY ACTIONS every day without fail and reviewing your TConnect weekly. These actions are purely to get into the habit of doing them, but wait until the start of the next month before doing anything else, so that you have got a full month to work in.

While waiting for the new month to start become a WAVE 3 member. This action is not currently available while SFI re-works it but the old Wave 3 gave you 5 free TCredits monthly and 50 free MRP monthly. I cannot say for sure but I would imagine the new Wave 3 will give you something similar when it becomes available. Wave 3 membership used to cost $1.95 and the main stipulation was that you had to have a car window to stick a TripleClicks decal on and send a photo of you with the the car and decal back to SFI. Even for someone with no money, $1.95 should not be impossible to raise.

There is no point in even starting with SFI unless you become an Executive Affiliate (EA) with 1500 VP in a month and follow up with another 1500 VP in the next month (EA2).

At the start of the new month and for the rest of that month you do the following in the same order as below:
VP
Daily Actions – 30 days x 11 VP 330
Read Launchpad Articles – 1 per day for 30 days x 15 VP 450
Review TConnect page weekly 4 x 5 VP 20
Confirm your registration 150
Whitelist [email protected] 100
Complete Affiliate Profile 75
Send your SFI Commitment Message to Sponsor 50
Read Getting Started FAQs 50
Review the Marketing Centre 50
Upload your photo to Affiliate Center 35
Register as a2a Member 20
Follow SFI, TripleClicks and PriceBender Alerts on Twitter 50
Create & Upload TripleClicks Avatar 15
Buy 1 TCredit at TripleClicks for $1.99 (cash) 102
Use 3 TCredits from Wave 3 to bid on double MRP PriceBender Auctions – 3 x 10VP 3
TOTAL 1500

Spread out the above actions so that you are doing only 1 a day apart from the daily and weekly actions. This will mean you will get a minimum of 2 chances a day every day in the Daily Grand which you enter by pressing the WIN IT tab. With a bit of luck this will give you more TCredits and/or MRP. Use up the free TCredits earned from Daily Grand, with DOUBLE MRP Eager Zebra games or Pricebender Auctions to gain more VP and MRP.

Once you reach 1500 VP do not go any further except continue with your daily Actions. You need to conserve the Action VP (AVP) as long as possible. One week out from the end of the month, look at your scoreboard and see how many VP you still need to get to 1500 VP and if it is less than 80 VP to go, do not use any more AVP, apart from the Daily and Weekly Actions, to get you to 1500 VP and EA. Your daily and weekly Actions alone will get you the remaining VP you need.

Your second month of re-qualifying as EA2 is much harder, but you will help yourself a lot by conserving your VP in the first month as outlined above.

By getting to EA you will earn 10 TCredits and be re-assigned 2 CSA’s which means that you will have a team below you and you will be their leader, even though you have not yet qualified as a Team Leader and you will not get any of the Team Leader perks at this stage. You will also get another 5 TCredits and 50 MRP from WAVE 3. Wave 3 is currently unavailable while SFI revises it, but hopefully it will not be too much longer. With the 3 TCredits left over from last month, the 5 TCredits from Wave 3 and the 10 from getting to EA last month you now have 18 TCredits to use this month on double MRP PriceBender Auctions or Eager Zebra games. Each time you use a TCredit on double MRP opportunities you get 1 VP and 10 MRP. But don’t use them until you have to.

You got 50 MRP from Wave 3 last month and another 50 this month. You also earned another 30 from the PriceBenders Auctions last month, thus starting the month with 130 MRP.

Because you now have 2 CSAs in your team, you should now start sending them a Team-Mail each week for which you earn 30 VP for each one. You should also start compiling and sending Stream messages to your team 3 times a week. These messages should be short and sweet – maximum 340 characters or about 50-60 words. Each Stream message gives you 1 VP to a maximum of 3 a week.

So how do we get 1500 VP in month 2. See the table below. We cannot use any of the once-only Action VP (AVP) we used up last month. 31 day and 5 week months are a bonus and give you the opportunity to not have to use other AVP.

VP
Daily Actions – 30 days x 11 VP 330
Reviewing TConnect Page – 4 x 5 VP 20
Posting 3 stream Posts a week – 3 x 4 VP 12
Sending out Genealogy Group Mailers – 4 x 30 VP 120
Reset monthly goals before 10th of month 5
Rate your sponsor & co-sponsor 10
Enter new affiliate greeting 25

Use 13 TCredits on 1/day Double MRP Auctions 13
Daily bonus on Auction bids 13
Buy 2 TCredit with 252 MRP 204
Buy 4 more TCredits for cash $7.96 408
Ask Sponsor for $2 gift card and buy 1 more TCredit 102
TOTAL 1562

Getting to EA2 will get you a small amount of commission the next month, probably enough or close to enough to buy 1 TCredit. It will also earn you another 10 TCredits and 2 CSAs. So you would be going into the next month with 20 TCredits counting the Wave 3 ones and 8 MRP left.

To keep re-qualifying EA2 after this will be impossible unless you can get some money from somewhere. At your TConnect page you have gateways where you can refer products from ECA merchants to your own contacts. You need to spend as much time as you can afford to connecting your contacts with these ECA merchants and you can get commissions from any sales made. Those same contacts can also be brought into the SFI business and you still get commission on everything they do. You only need about $20 a month in commission income with which to buy enough TCredits, the VP from which, combined with the VP earned from daily, weekly and monthly actions, will get you to that 1500 VP each month.

You can do it. It requires time, persistence and belief in yourself, but anyone with a tiny amount of money (under $10) can get to EA2 and in those 2 months, start to build a TripleClicks business.
