No, a website/blog is not essential for your success at SFI, just one more great opportunity.
It is a great chance for you, if you are really good in writing interesting texts and making readers to revisit your site again and again. It is also a great chance to further communications with your team, to learn how to write and attract people on the net, to share your complete thoughts and point of view not just a few sentences like through most social media.
BUT it is not essential!
There are so many forms of advertising and teaching possible, you can choose which one suits you best and focus on that one while slowly improving other methods one by one.
All forms of advertising have pros and cons, most cons are a huge influence on the success of the methods.
For a website/blog it is the contra of being found and being interesting an captivating at the same time. For this, it needs time intensive SEO-work and creative textwriting while your niche competition will grow massively, too. So even if your own site can offer you much greater chances than something like adsite marketing (putting up ads on (free) adsites), you will only be able to see the results if those prerequisites are met.
Facit:
If you are not already experienced in websites, but want to hold the chance open, focus on other methods first, while steadily improving your site/writing in small steps.
If you neither have experience, time nor ideas for a site right now, again, focus on other methods but keep the possibility of someday having your own site in your mind. If you keep with SFI you will certainly grow and be able to simultanously use and combine more and more methods. By throwing it away, you'd only limit yourself later.
PS: A sample of other methods:
- Offline marketing (handouts, lectures, adposters, ...)
- social marketing (using forums/clubs/social media online or offline for advertising)
- adsite marketing (create various interesting ads and spread them everywhere)
