2. Help them to see that business is fun and each thing they do brings them closer to their goals. An article entitled (Setting Goals for Yourself) could help you set goals for your affiliates. Tell them to focus on marketing aspect of their business rather than money-making aspect. This will allow them to come up with creative ways to market which makes it more enjoyable. I like what many people happy in their work say. "If you love what you do, you never work another day in your life."

3. Convey message that if even just one person has acomplished something then so can everybody else. Most all of us have same abilities. Some have it a little easier than others, but nonetheless someone in life has had to overcome same obstacles that they may face. See my motivational article entitled, (It's Up To You!). Give them this example. Let them contemplate their current job. If they have just filled a postion were they not shown how to do job? And by following instruction given to them did they not end up doing job correctly. Why? Because they followed instruction of someone who has been successfully doing job. The same holds true for internet marketing or any business. Follow in path of those who have been successful and they will also find success.

4. If they express to you that they want to try something else tell them this. If you are truly involved in a good program as I am tell them that basicly all marketing businesses have a common theme. You market a product at same time try to recruit affiliates. That old saying that grass is not always greener on other side. It's true. Make them aware that jumping from one program to another first of all does not give them time to properly analize potential of program, and second just as they begin to lay a solid foundation they quit and all their effort is basicly wasted. It's kind of like playing a slot machine. You have spent hours dropping quarters into one finally giving up in frustration. Then someone comes up behind you drops a quarter in and wins jackpot. Tell them if they hold on a little longer all there efforts will pay off.

There are probably others that you can come up with, but for most part these will get your sub-affiliates thinking. But of course there are no guarantees. All you can hope to do is try and keep them motivated, guide them along, and feed them some words of wisdom now and then. But their success is up to them.
