Hello Emma. To give you a simple answer to your question, yes. Help your affiliates to much will make them lazy and dependent on you. They will expect much of you and will not do any learning for themselves.
You need to work out a fine line between helping them to achieve and progress and helping them too much. I get over this problem firstly by offering my help and encouraging them to email me if they need help. I also have a website where I set out some limited amounts of training, how to, and what you can achieve if you work at it. It is then their prerogative if they visit or not and do the learning activities to progress.
When a specific question is asked of me, I give a very simple basic answer and I provide a link to the area of SFI which gives a much more detailed explanation. I encourage the Affiliate to visit the link and to do the reading and then I ask them to get back in touch with me to tell me if their question was answered.
I don’t offer bribes or TCredits at all but once in a while I will (out of the blue) pick someone who has been asking questions and I can see they have found the answer themselves by “working it out” then I will gift them some TCredits or a Gift Certificate for their hard work.
I think that genuine workers will appreciate this method as it is a great form of learning for them which they can then duplicate to their own team.
