There are many reasons why affiliates become inactive shortly after joining SFI, and one or two of these may shock you:
1) Roughly 90% of the affiliates that sign up come into this through traffic exchanges or safelists and get intrigued by a free opportunity to make money... up until the point where they realize that this requires some actual time spent *working* and *learning*, in addition to additional (optional) expense in the form of Standing Orders and other marketing tools.
2) Some people, particularly those who get assigned through "Done For You" programs of one sort or another, actually *get paid* a small bounty for signing up for various programs. For example, you might spend $20 from someone for 20 PSAs. That person then goes to one of these sites, and spends $10 to promote your link, offering $.25 to everyone who signs up under you. That site makes $5, the 20 paid signers get their quarter each, and everybody's made something on this except for you. Obviously, the paid signers have no commitment--they're signing up to as many of these programs as they can. It's no wonder why they go inactive.
3) Finally, many of the rest are made to focus on the VersaPoints rather than on the commissions, which means they're literally spinning their wheels on what they need to do to keep their rank and not on actual promotion. Because they never get shown how to make a profit, they quickly tire and lose interest.
This is why I recommend recruiting people in person--it gets rid of all of these potential problems. Sure, you still get refusals and people who don't follow through, but at least you're getting someone you can *talk* to.
