Well, if a hard-working affiliate is thinking of quitting, I would have to point out the following two things:
1) If you quit, then all that hard work, all that effort, HAS come to nothing. If you quit when you fail, you haven't learned to succeed.
2) There's a big difference between "hard work" and "effective work." Now, the following analogy takes things to extreme, but it makes the point: Say you need to clean your house, and you go out to the gym and lift weights instead. Yes, you've done hard work, but it's not very effective at cleaning your house. You need to change what you're doing to something more effective. What you change will depend on what you're doing? If classified ads aren't working to promote sales, switch over to safelists, try blogging, or consider promoting face-to-face. Success is about figuring out what works for you, and the more and more effective you make that process, the more and more results you will see.
Now obviously, you need to find out what sorts of efforts he or she is putting out. You need to listen and tailor the suggestions you give to ones that make sense--you don't tell someone who can't write to attempt a blog, for example. Duplication requires effective communication, and if your affiliate isn't succeeding, it means you're not teaching him or her effective ways to duplicate your success.
