The best incentive to offer a new affiliate is to lead by example. Incentives are nice on occassionally but not to get someone started. Your new affiliate needs to have initiative, dedication and drive to make it as an affiliate marketer. Giving them something in return in the beginning is only enabling them - they will always expect a treat. On the other hand, if down the road you would like to reward someone for a job well done then giving gift cards, T credits, or reassigned affiliates makes sense.
Lead your affiliate to lead as you do - duplication is how this program works.
