The first tip always is to let them know they need 500 VP in order to get the Fast Track bonus. Just confirming registration, whitelisting SFI, completing your profile, uploading a photo, entering a new affiliate greeting, registering as an A2A member and sending your commitment to your sponsor will almost give you those - and that first 500 points in 24 hours is worth 200 bonus points! I tell them to do that first, even if it is confusing, and then I will help them to learn what it all means.
I also try to translate my email replies to affiliates who indicate that English is not their first language. Even if the translation is not very good, I want them to know that I am trying to communicate with them and that I want them to understand how the program works.
One of the best tips is to get people joining A2A as soon as possible. That way, even if they don't have a team, they can still send a stream post to their A2A friends. New affiliates especially miss out on the first week or two of stream posts and "sending a message to your team" since they don't have a team. Many people click on each page to do the daily VP, but miss the weekly VP that might mean the difference between getting to the next rank or not. In the month of May, you could have had up to 15 stream posts (3 per week)- that 15 points could be the ones you are missing to get to the next level!
