Not everyone will be responsive to you, but that is okay. You make the effort from the beginning.
First, send your welcome message (making sure you include your photo). Keep communicating weekly (or more often). If anyone does respond, even just thanking you for your message, respond immediately, if possible. Answer any questions or comments you may receive. Of course, this means you have offered your assistance and requested feedback from them in your messages. Offer rewards for milestones they have reached, like reaching EA or any Team Leader Level. Don't just write email messages, but use the Stream and maybe even the Forum. Just be there and prove yourself a friend, in good times and bad times. Get to know them as real people, for that is what they are.
If there are those who just don't respond, just keep writing to them weekly as long as they are affiliates. The only way you would stop writing to them is if you were asked by an affiliate to stop writing. In that case, the affiliate wants to opt out. If that is the case, show the affiliate how to opt out and just move on.
Just remember, don't be that affiliate who does not make an effort to communicate.
