How can you offer financial support to a hard-working PSA/CSA who is truly financially challenged?
Maybe I am biased, because I do not have money to support everyone else, but I do not think you should financially support your affiliates.
Instead, it is important to teach them. Help them learn and understand the system. As they learn the system, teach them how to advertise and duplicate. Communication and motivation are key.
For financially challenged affiliates, it is more important to learn how to build their business than it is to reach EA status the first few months. Until they have an active team under them, they will not lose a lot.
I think it is more important to encourage them to learn. I reward my active affiliates with PSAs when they earn their 30/60/90 Daily VP Streak badges. This encourages them to make SFI a daily habit, to log in and read, and more importantly to learn what SFI is all about.
I also reward affiliates for getting their "Ask SC Ratings" badge with new affiliates on their team. This encourages them to read and learn more than they otherwise might. I think Ask SC is crucial for newer affiliates in understanding the program and how it works, what works and what doesn't, and how to approach different SFI income streams.
In the first few months, it is hard to get to EA status, and hard to start bringing in commissions. This is the crucial time to support your active affiliates, and when they are willing to put their time and effort into learning the system, I will help them build their team. Within a few months, they have learned enough to start building their own team.
That being said, if an active affiliate is only a few hundred points away from EA and can't afford to buy a few TCredits, I have no problem sending a small gift certificate to help them out. :D
