"Convince" implies some kind of pressure and people don't like to be pressed. Also, please remember that your Affiliates come from all over the world, have different budgets on hands (if any) and different expectations. The majority of them are shooting stars - logging once or twice until their account expire. Some other try to get by blinded by the worst curse word in the world: "free" and they will not spend a single penny still dreaming of riches... sad truth.
Simply speaking, DON'T try to convince anybody to anything here. Just set up THE example to follow. Have a Standing Order yourself and keep it, inform your downline about your results as they arrive and stress in each letter that the earnings came after you invested money, not the other way round. Present everything you use to your Affiliates and - again - discuss the (positive) results. Tell them about the tools you use and how this adds to your bottom line. Communicating all this, always stress the importance of your Standing Order as the first and the most important tool that helps you keep the EA2 (or higher) rank and earn. Repeat all the time that without reaching EA2 there are no earnings here, but never tell them to buy/set up a Standing Order. After some time, some of them WILL understand and WILL follow. Others not. But those who WILL follow, WILL start building their teams on a similar principle and add to your bottom line significantly each month.
There's a saying concerning writing fiction that works perfectly as a leadership tool, too: "don't tell, show!". Create an irresistible picture of having a Standing Order in the minds of your Affiliates and you won't have to convince anybody to anything. They'll follow willingly themselves.
