How Do You Keep Your Affiliates Motivated When They Don't Make Money in Their First Month?

People are first attracted to the business because of the income factor. From my experience here in the SFI business, this is what I noticed. The younger generations, normally, want a fast buck. So I gave them 2 weeks or more of online communication. If they stick then that's a sign that they want to go farther. The older group has more tenacity as far as being in the business longer is concerned. So you know that those who stayed are "into it". I usually engaged them in heart-to-heart talks, like consider me as "a sister whom you can talk freely" on any topics, for that matter. From there I always emphasize that you can only "harvest if you plant". And in this business we just need to plant a few months and you can harvest. Meaning, go on seriously with the monthly requirements of the business and you're set. Most older folks would tell you that in order to survive you have to work. It's the same here. Only the work is online and like any other job, you just have to give it time. And the strategies used are like any other business and that support is always available. That there are people ahead of you in the business who are also supporting you as a newbie. That in this business you're never left alone if you think help is needed. And there are a lot of information waiting for you online. Just click the mouse and you're into it. What you just need is your time. An hour or two or three a day would take you a long way. And I always tell them that in three months, though it was a small amount, I already had my first harvest. Some did it earlier than three months. It really depends on how fast you move. And don't let negative thoughts get in your way. Stay positive always.
