If they will join you the best tool on the web is daily contact through a Skype Chat, just having that place to log in and get to know each other, share stories, get inspiration, swap resources, and grow as a team with live and responsive communication has been a blessing to every business I have owned online.
How powerful is working in a close group like that with daily interaction? My last team project was generating millions of monthly page views and made money daily from advertising and affiliate programs.
If you're shy you'll get over it. If you talk funny, so do I. If you want to succeed in building massive team unity then do it.
Second to that is a bulk mail sender or auto-responder like mail-chimp or SFI Team Mail to send weekly newsletters and periodic reminders. Using your own system allows you to share a few advertising sites here and there, and since you can save the mailings as draft instead of sending you can add to them and edit them over the course of the week. You also have the ability to schedule your message to send on time even if you're out of town.
Use regular e-mail to send a personal note from time to time or recognize when someone in your team reaches a goal or seems stuck. Don't hesitate to offer support, but make a list of affiliates who shun the support and ask you to not be so proactive, sometimes people can't see the value of teamwork as clearly as others.
Above all be consistent. People need to hear that friendly voice before they have to pick up the phone. You know how excited you get when a friend comes to visit, be that friend.
Hope this helps, may your business be everything you wish it to be.
