A new affiliate will do well to get a good understanding of SFI and how to make really good money before he begins to actually work the business. For some the training period is only a few short days, for others it will take longer.

What is good money? It certainly is not the tiny amount one earns from the training vp. This first payment should be regarded as training also. From receiving it, you will see where to find your commissions, and how to use the chart. It also shows that you are in the system and that you will be paid when you begin in earnest to do the work.

The really nice commissions begin when you sales to PRMs and an active team that are buying products for themselves and have a handful of active PRMs.

To get from point A to point B, you will have to be aggressive in your efforts to advertise. You can not make a lot of money just buying for yourself, whether it is transfer buying of personal use items or TCredits. TCredits are useful but NOT, yes NOT, necessary at this time. Playing the auctions takes a lot of the precious time that you should be spending on the real work of the business.

Here is where we get to your question about investment gets answered. You have to invest a significant amount of time into advertising every aspect of this opportunity. Use as many marketing methods as you can and as many ad venues as possible. Track their effectiveness and then focus on those that produce well.

To do all of this advertising, you will want certain marketing aids and to use both free and paid ad venues. Find the marketing aids under Marketing on the main menu. We have business cards, called x-cards, to hand out to people or leave for them to find, post cards, letter head paper and envelopes, brochures to explain ECA, Gift Cards to entice people to join TripleClicks, shirts and hats with logos, and car magnets.

These can all be put on your standing order and will earn part of your 1500 VP goal. Set your personal goal to distribute al lof the cards that you buy each month so that you don't end up with a big box of unused x-cards. This will also help with your enrollment goals.

With all this advertising, you should get a steady stream of sign-ups. Most will not be active but train them all the best you can. Start right out encouraging them to set up a standing order for marketing aids, etc. and to begin advertising early (duplication). Then you should have good money coming in each month.

Well your money investment has nothing has to do with your monthly earning, thanks God we have the new Rank change, otherwise you were going to fall in that trap.

In the past we had many affiliates that invested considerable amount of money and reached to the Platinum Level in a month or two after they joined thinking the most they invest the more they earn and just to fall back and have a disappointment few months later.

They forgot the main key factor building a team, and they were there alone without a team.

So your earning is not how much you invest but how active you are involving in the business as well as how big is your active team members are.

With our new rank qualification you have unlimited earning rotational by building active team members, and help them to advance to the next rank level step by step, as they advance you advance higher, from EA to BTL, STL,GTL, PTL, DTL. But you have to have your team members following you one step at a time as they have also their next generation following them. Some could pass you also which is fine, you just have to work harder to get there, but always be a great team leader.

Don’t focus how much you are earning as a new affiliates unless your total focus is only to make money right away no matter what, if that is your focus you have to sell the TripleClicks products day in and day out if you are successful in it, but tiring and a one person 100% effort and might worn you out at time go by.

But instead put your investment on building your team by recruiting active PSA‘s and PRM‘s as well as gaining CSA‘s , It will take time, a year, two or more to have a strong active team that will give you residual income month after month.
As you building your team now you can sell TripleClicks products so they go side by side to support each other meaning you can invest your profits in both SFI/ TripleClicks without breaking your bank accounts.

But don’t spend all the money you have thinking the more you invest the more you make idea, you won’t. You have to have a plan and goal how you can invest your money and where to get the maximum benefit.

Investing your time in the beginning and beyond to grow your business, very Important.

You don't have to invest any money in SFI at all to start earning money every month. As a new affiliate you should first invest only in time spent gaining knowledge - through reading and learning.

First investing in time spent gaining knowledge IS the start of earning money every month at SFI. The earnings won't happen without you doing anything, and you can't know what to do until you read and learn.

And, once earning, you can't know how to improve your earnings without continual reading and learning.

Any amount of money you invest in SFI is not going to earn you money all on its own. Actions need to be taken too. You need to work.

Invest in time spent gaining knowledge through doing your Getting Started Actions, Launchpad Lessons, Intermediate Actions, and Daily Actions. Follow the links on those pages to do even more reading and learning.

Then work - with or without investing money - and the earnings will come.

The short answer is that you should invest whatever you can afford to lose.

Here is a more detailed answer. Way too often, people jump in with both feet and end up digging a financial hole for themselves because they think that the more money they pour in, the more money will come out. While the size of your investment directly affects your ability to make money, be careful not to allow your investment to cause you to miss a meal.

Set aside a certain amount of money each month that you know you can do without and build from there. If you can afford a standing order, purchasing 125 TCredits ($36.35) is the best way to maintain your EA rank, but if you are not able to invest that much right now, save your money and work on selling products instead.

Either way, you should be saving more money than you invest so a portion of your money will build up every month. For example, if you have a standing order for $36.25, set aside $40 so you can save $3.75 every month. After 12 months passed, you will end up with $45 on top of the money for the standing order that month!

In addition to saving money every month, you will also be earning commissions along the way. Don't spend your commissions outside of SFI and you will be able to use that money for your standing order too. That will help you build a nice cushion for future purchases should you find yourself needing to reduce your personal investment for a while.

First, let's see what you have a goal for your investments?

1. If you want to participate in auctions and games and/or sell some products (ECA) at TripleClicks, you need to maintain the status of EA (Executive Affiliate) = 1500 VP (VersaPoints). In this case:

Install TCredits - 100 pack -- Special SFI Standing Order only, $29 = 1200 VP https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=96180
+
Pass DAILY ACTIONS (min 11 VP every day) on your SFI Homepage = 330 VP or 341 VP every month


2. If you want to build your Team of PSAs and CSAs, I recommend to set min SO (Standing Order) = 1500 VP. In this case you will get an additional 10 new CSAs each month by the CSA Rewards program. Read more about it here: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/CSARewardsLedger

In this case, there are several options SO your choice ($$$):

a). TCredits - 125 pack -- Special Standing Order only, $36.25 =1500 VP https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=212474
- This is the easiest and least expensive option. Received TCredits you can spend on Auctions to bid on different packs PSAs and/or CSAs.

Your SO = 1500 VP = $36.25

b). TCredits - 100 pack -- Special SFI Standing Order only, $29 = 1200 VP
+
S-Builder Co-op Unit $22 (for SO) = 280 VP
https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=38631
+
1 PSA To Go $1.99 (Special Offer-only standing order for the S-Builder Co-op) = 23 VP https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=403879

Your SO = 1503 VP = $52.99

I offered you some options of investments as a NEW PARTNER. Choose available option for you and go to your goal. Possibly later, you will develop yourself for other options or use selected now on a regular basis.

Do NOT spend more than you can afford.

Having said that, it is wise to have a standing order (ideally, one that will guarantee you 1500 VP each month). The product you choose is entirely up to you, but I would recommend the 125 pack of TCredits for $36.25 (you will NEED TCredits).

A quick method to building a team is to purchase PSAs at TripleClicks (price varies). Get at least one of them to fast-track gold and you are on your way to receiving commissions from their sales.

Advertise! This can be done for FREE. Remember, the more you sell, the more commissions you earn!

When I enrolled myself as an affiliate in SFI in April, 2013, I never did spend any single cent just to prove that I can still earn and be successful in SFI. Everyone can find someone to join me for free.

Most of the newly signed up do nothing, stops and never returns. Why then invest when there is no assurance that the newly signed up will be active. Whether I invest or not, there is no guaranty that the signed ups will be active. Most job seekers or business opportunity surfers want to earn big immediately online.

I did start to learn and focus myself with the Basics. (How to Earn VersaPoints in various ways) for me to afford to purchase 125 packs TCredits worth $36.25. I won't be able to convince people under me how to earn if I am myself isnt earning. I am now reinvesting part of my earnings to purchase 125 packs TCredits worth $36.25.

The difference in investing or not is a matter of goal and speed. If you can afford to purchase 125 packs of TCredits worth $36.25 monthly, do so. You can use the TCredits to bid, win and even build your team.

I hope I was able to answer your question based on my experience.

Hello Glory, I see you have just joined SFI and I admire the steps you have taken so far towards building your business. To start earning money every month, truly requires some investment. But I like you to know that the investment would be in two parts, "Time" and "Money". Now I can from my experience tell you how much of both investment is needed.

- HOW MUCH TIME TO INVEST.
You would understand that everything in life that must emerge great always grow with much time and dedication. Now investing your time would require you to be involved with some activities regarding SFI. This things will help you grow your income with time and will increase you monthly income as well. this activities involve

i. Reading Training Material
You need to invest time into studying the training's provided by SFI and those that will be provided by your Sponsor. You will find some of this training in your Launch Pad, and most of it under the training tab, while SFI will also send weekly/monthly training guide.

ii. Gathering of Versal point
Life itself requires attention, SFI is a real business and you need to oversea the affairs of your own business. there is no way to grow a better income monthly, other than closely monitoring of the business. So spend time daily a minimum of 2hrs to contribute something towards the growth of your business. Also within this few hours you will be spending, you have to spend time to gather your daily VPs.

iii. Build your Team
If you have invested in all things regarding SFI and leave out this, then I count it a waste. Your team is what raise you monthly income. The number of active PSAs you get monthly, inturn raise your income. You need to spend time, developing a minimum of EAs monthly. Of all this requires you to invest more time.

- HOW MUCH MONEY TO INVEST
Some times your input usually determine you output, but seriously not every cases. It is now a matter of inputting with lots of strategy that will increase your output.
Spending thousands on SFI business without a good strategy would lead to low income. So, to avoid this SFI has out in place tools that will help both new and old members to have an increasing monthly income. This tools are

i. Fast Track membership/New Membership Pack
Fast Track earns you extra 10-20% of your total income and that of your downline if you are a Teamleader which requires you to spend $20 in your first 10days or make a Standing Order of 1500VP. And for new members a tool to accomplish this has been provided. The NMP, Its one of the cheapest tool that would help you have kick start your business, with 500VP, 50Tcredits, 200MRP and many more.

ii. S-Builder Co-op
This tool helps you acquire PSAs for your team building, through the month. It also goes for $20

iii. PSA 2 Go
In case you do not have a means of advertising yourself, you can purchase PSAs from the Tripleclicks store to help you grow. All of this would mean you are already investing on marketing and advertisement.

No amount of time and money you invest into your business is a waste, so get investing and start earning.

To tell you to invest in a Standing Order to qualify as EA is only part of the answer to your question.
I don't think anybody can tell you HOW MUCH to invest - you will know what your budget is.
The question is where you invest what you have.

If you want to start making money soon you need to invest in other things too.

You should invest in adverts to sell products - one way to make an income
You should invest in adverts to recruit a team - you need a team if you ever want to be a Bronze and up team leader. Achieving this is the way to earn commissions and residual income from your team's efforts.
An investment in your movers might be the best investment you can make. Help them to grow and make progress in their own business and you will benefit from it too.

So in short - this is what I recommend

Standing Order
Advertisements - product sales and a team
Help your team

Hope it gives you a better idea.
