I notice on the Top Enrollers Growth page a lot of new affiliates are coming from economically underdeveloped countries.

Poverty remains extensive throughout the world, particularly in South Asia and Africa. In fact, Africa dominates the bottom of the ranking, occupying all of the last ten spots.

Unfortunately it's rare to sponsor a resident from these countries who has money to invest in a home business.

Generally speaking, the richer countries have citizens with more money to invest. Many of our Top Sponsors know this and market accordingly.

I see a lot of new affiliates coming from:

Zimbabwe, Niger, Mozambique, Nepal, Bangladesh...etc and it's not likely these residents will have the resources to invest and have success. So it's mostly a waste of money to pay to get affiliates from these poor countries. In other words, it's not likely to be cost effective.

The following website will give you a good idea where to focus your efforts:

Use the scroll bar and you'll see the richest/poorest. It's been my experience it's better to fish in the Gold pond vs the Tin pond when ever possible.

My recommendation is to focus on the TOP 50 richest countries.

If you join a coop for SFI affiliates in TC and you are not happy with the coop?

You do have the "Option and Right" to contact SFI and not just the ECA/TC department to have the person you purchased the coop from, to stop the coop and refund your money.

You need to do this very quickly if you suspect you are getting poor and suspicious results.

Nothing is a guarantee ... when purchasing into any coop.

Not having the time to advertise like I normally do for myself for awhile, I joined a coop to have it do two things for me.

Build my team for me and check to see if this coop I joined is worth passing onto my affiliates below me.

Some noticed the large number of affiliates coming in for me today. 31 affiliates in a couple of hours which also came with 23 bad emails. 18 of those in a row.

I have joined several other coops in the past and had some good results until this recent coop purchased.

When I read the reviews, there were more positive than negative reviews before my purchase. That has since, the time of purchase, changed to more negative than positive.

Read what others are saying about the coop you are thinking of purchasing. It is worth the time to read each and everyone of those comments.

You will see some SFI affiliates that you recognize that have posted comments. Do what I did. Contact one or two of them. You need to do this before the purchase if you have concerns

I found out that what happened to me also happened to a member who started SFI in 2012. He joined a different coop and he had the same results I did.

He thought he did not have the right to report suspicious sign ups, so never said anything. He purchased the 1000 affiliate package.

Remember you do have the "Option and Right", no matter how long you have been with SFI, to report anything that is suspicious. Need to do this on a timely manner.

If you are interested in knowing which coop you can private message me.
