Hi Catherine
It's not surprising that we humans love to have what we call "Our Own Space". This desire to want and control your own space is something I am not sure is passed onto us or are born with but it's there and we feel uneasy when it's infringed upon.
In answering this question therefore let's start first by defining what the NECESSARY COMMUNICATION is:
In the few years I have been Marketing online I have noted keenly that there are many factors that lead to successful campaigns online but one of the top most is Effective Communication with your list.
We have all heard time and again that the "MONEY IS IN THE LIST BUT THE FORTUNE IS THE FOLLOW UP"
Or YOUR LIST IS YOUR GOLD etc. In fact one of my mentors online and a couple other marketers I know about online when asked what was the one thing they would love to keep if they ever had to start all over again Online said "TAKE EVERYTHING ELSE BUT GIVE ME MY LIST" Why? Because it's true that that's truly were the Money is if you nurture it well
WHAT IS NECESSARY COMMUNICATION?
These tips are All Available in Your launch Day 17 here: https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/Day17
1. First of all, you need to set up a Greeting for your affiliates
Greet every new PSA/CSA with a special message from you their sponsor/cosponsor

2. Next, you'll want to develop some form of regular outgoing communications. SFI recommends a weekly or bi-weekly e-mail. For much more on this, refer to this special column by SFI founder, Gery Carson here: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/AskGery020207
3. Next, you'll want to check out the Stream tab on your home page. Dedicated to instant posts to and from your team (up to six levels in your downline) and a2a friends, the Stream tab provides a GREAT way to pass along your own news items, alerts, notes of encouragement, and other important information.
The above are all PROACTIVE communications. But you also need to make sure you're being responsive when your affiliates contact you.Be sure to respond in a timely manner.
BAD OR UNNECESSARY COMMUNICATION: In summery:
1. Whatever you do, don't just tell Your Affiliates to go to the Affiliate Center and find it themselves. That's a guaranteed way to destroy the relationship.
2. Avoid Cross Solicitation
Am sure you have seen the warning every time you try sending a TM or any mail within SFI!
3. Too Much Advertising of your T-connect products to your down line is an instant killer to your relationship. All Successful Guru marketers are aware of this snag so avoid it. Remember to touch a heart before asking for A hand. It works like Magic All the time.
4. Spamming (Too much communication)
Much as communication is very important in running your business. Too much of it or anything for that matter is an absolute turn off. Be careful when you do.
5. Quality and Not Quantity matters. Successful marketers have little to no un subscribers in their list. Why? Because they offer value and great support to their list.Offer something meaningful to them. A tip/ an incentive/ a free E-book/ gifts etc
This will help create a desire to want to hear from you soonest. So go ahead and make them want to hear from you.
I hope You have found this helpful
To Your Success and see You at the TOP
