This is a very good question.
I believe that you need to start preparing your affiliates for their second month as soon as they join up.
In the first month is fairly easy to gain VP's and make Executive Affiliate. As we all know it is not quite so easy in following months. It is important that new affiliates understand that their will be some work involved in becoming successful.
I try and let new affiliates know that this is not a get rich quick scheme, nor am I going to do all the work for them. Read everything you can and ask lots of questions. Don't go mad and click on every point you can get, stop when you reach 1500, save a few for next month. When I say that I don't want them to stop reading and learning, just don't grab unnecessary points. Also if they don't ask questions they're not learning.
Also I try and get them to understand that even though you can be successful in this without outlaying any money, a small investment can speed things up. I encourage a Standing Order for 100 TCredits. This will earn them 1200 VP's for the month and hopefully this will get them into the habit of logging in each day to earn the other 300 required for EA.
To a degree I think a lot of new affiliates need to be "spoon fed" for the first few months but you need to be careful that this reliance doesn't continue to long. If they're logging in each day and reading the material that is sent to them I think they should be fairly self reliant after about 3 or 4 months.
I hope all this helps a bit.
