    Единственный способ достичь успеха в этом бизнесе - это организовать крупную сеть по привлечению клиентов в России

    Now both are correct So you need a hyphen in both of them. There is a rule to this hyphen thing. Just let me dredge up my long gone school memories

    Okay, if both a subject and predicate are of the same part of speech (e.g. both nouns) you need to put a hyphen between them.

    The subject and predicate are both infinitive verbs.

    Это is a good indicator of a sentence of such a structure. Although, это might just be omitted as in the example above.

    One thing to note. Definitions of terms, words etc are usually rendered in such a fashion. E.g. "Образование - (это) совокупность методов blah blah". Both are nouns.

    Other examples:

    Курить - здоровью вредить
    Повторение - мать учения

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    A dash (—), not a hyphen (-).

    No. The subject is способ.

    They do not have to be of the same part of speech.
    Курение (noun) — это плохо (adverb).
    Курить (verb) — плохо (adverb).
    Курение (noun) — это плохо (adverb).
    Единственный способ (noun) — организовать (verb) крупную сеть.

    etc.
    Please correct my English
