"In SFI, always remember that "D is the key". That is DUPLICATION is
the best way to expand your business and grow your commission check
each month". Having said that, for those of us with limited time I
will advice to use S-Builder Co-Op to Build their network and

Time is money as they say and a business requires investment. So your approach weather you face a financial shortage or a time shortage is to budget what you have a limited supply of.

I have had people in our programs for the past decade that found clipping 10 coupons a week from their neighbor's old Sunday paper saved them enough money to upgrade a membership. Likewise I have had people with an hour for lunch go from buying food at the local spot to packing a sack lunch and working on

My advice is time management. We all have a busy life but sometimes we let time slip away without even realizing it. It only takes a few minutes to work on your TO DO list. Set aside one hour a day to work your business if possible. Make phone calls when you are on a break.
Do a time diary daily to see if you can allow more time for your business and less for something else. A few minutes here and there add up. For instance when you are waiting for an appointment work your business then instead

For me if you really want something, you go get it! It means to say, you can find ways to pursue this business or any kind of business as long as you know your priorities and learn time management especially if you have a current job to attend to. It's actually your choice on how to make your business grow. Dedicate yourself to it. Don't pressure yourself too much because it would affect your current job if you have one. Step by step, try to make time for this business to grow and see where you stand.

If you feel that you don't have the time to operate your business properly I would offer this suggestion.

Do an audit on your time. That is, write down during an average day what you are doing and how much time it takes. If you spend 8-12 hours a day working, then write that down. How much time sleeping? Write it down. Eating? Write that down. Time with family?Write that down also.

In other words write down everything during an average day. Then total up the time. If after doing

"What is your advice to those who want to pursue this business but have limited time to invest into it?"

I also have limited time but I have learned to use strategies that don't take too much of my time. Such as, I make sure that I do my VP Points when I have some time to sit down while watching tv or talking on the phone when returning phone calls. I also market my products or other products I am interested in through SFI while checking my Facebook, Twitter and Linked In accounts.

Although getting merchants to to go E-Commerce Associate is not necessarily easy, the time and effort could be very rewarding in ongoing royalty of 10% of the commission volume from all sales of each ECA.

An Affiliate that is limited in time for the business could could concentrate on getting ECA's that would hopefully build ongoing income, that would not require too much time later. With that income the Affiliate could build his business with more paid advertisement.

Realistically

It looks difficult but after trying you will see how easy it is.

* setup a standing order for 1500 vp preferably tcredits because you can use them to purchase lots of things and bid on auctions.
* use the tcredits to bid or buy PSAs.

For someone who has limited time to invest to this business of course must has much money to grow your business.

1. Set up a standing order which has minimal 1500 vp.

My dear Mei-la Chi,

My advice to those who want to pursue this business but have limited time to invest into it is just as simple. SFI is a business and there are different way by which one can handle ones business depending on what one intends to achieve.

No matter what, little time still has to be devoted here, at least one hour daily for the to-do activities and learning more about SFI. But the major thing is that you must always strive to attain EA2 every month by earning
