I know from experience that some affiliates will come back from inactivity. So, you must keep them on your weekly mail list. Otherwise, there is nothing that will revive a dead horse - so spend your time with those who are actively involve - no matter how small there achievement may seem as long as they keep moving forward then that's progress.
Yes, good old tyre kickers as we call them. They sign up, don't make a load of money in a week or two so they vanish.
Nothing wrong with checking the 'last sign in date' in your genealogy section and send a reminder of all the benefits etc but after that then forget them.
Your active members are your business and your future, regards, Mal.
Most people sign up and never show up again because they are not adequately motivated. I have been there before. New affiliates need to be assured and directed by members who are already earning money. This will give the new members assurance that they are not just wasting their time. So sponsors should brace up and do their work. Apart from emails being sent, i suggest that phone calls should be made to them as this will give a sense of reality.
After my welcome letter, I follow up with other frequent e-mails of encouragement. If I still don't hear back from them, I send them a testimonial page of success stories to inspire them a little. What we have to also realize is, we want to work with workers, not tire kickers. If they were meant to be, they'll come right back to you. If not now, then some time later. We should move on and focus on the fact that we're looking for affiliates just like us and they're out there somewhere, so keep looking. Every "no" leads you closer to a "yes".
