Hello Aaron and to all SFI affiliates,

I beg to disagree on those who say that this question is irrelevant, like someone suggested in the forum some days ago. There is a saying that ''Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches''

Yes, it is true that SFI is a global business and that all you need is just a computer and an internet connection. It is not a secret that people like myself who live in Africa and other third world countries faces tougher challenges. Challenges that

"I live in Africa. How can I become successful in SFI?"

I learned a lot this past year, especially what to focus on and what are simply distractions. Spending a lot of money does not guarantee success. Setting a budget is very important.

You seem to be doing very well Aaron, in Namibia. If money is tight or funds are low stay focused on building your team. It is not easy building a team without expertise in on line marketing. If you can afford it spend your money on

Hello,
I live in Africa myself and started up in SFI just about 4months ago. I will like to share from experience because I am learning towards becoming greatly successful in SFI!

My advice is that you make up your mind that you will continue and follow the laid down principles (even before you start up on SFI)! That is determination and it is very important here!

Once you are set on SFI, then:
1. Get free Versapoints of up to 500VP to get fast track badge and 200VP

While it is true that everyone has the ability to succeed in SFI, differing countries and continents face different challenges. Thus, you have asked an excellent question!

The three biggest challenges to SFI affiliates seem to be: cost of shipping, difficulties with payments, and lack of reliable internet connections. I'm not qualified to answer the third, but the first two challenges can actually work to your advantage.

Because shipping from other continents can be prohibitively

Greetings fellow affiliate,

I appreciate your question about how to become successful with SFI while you live in Africa.

I would like to suggest that you take time to consider how other people near your home or other African states could benefit from knowing about SFI.

SFI is a business that helps other people. So for an example, are there people or families who make crafts or other items that others can buy from them through SFI? If there is a craft (jewellery or

Hello Aaron,
I suppose that you have asked a good and relevant question. I have seen the same problem with some of my PSAs who belong to Africa. They often struggle with their success in SFI.
I just want you to know that success does not depend upon where you belong, or your color or your caste or creed, It only depends upon all of your hard work and diligence.

Many of my PSAs found it difficult to pay for their standing orders ro other purchasings on TripleClicks. If at all

The success factors here at SFI is the same wherever you are. may you be in Africa, USA or anywhere else.

Let me share what these success factors are:

1. You must be able to build a team of affiliates who will work same as your do. Without this team its quite difficult to succeed here. The earlier and the faster you build this team the better.

Affiliates are our foundation here at SFI. Build it as wide as you can by continuous sponsoring and build it as deep as you
