I think you must be continuously sponsoring new members because statistics say that only about 5% of affiliates will succeed. This means that in order to get five hard working affiliates you will need to sponsor 100. Also, some of those five, due to circumstances beyond their control, may have to drop out. So, I am always sponsoring 100 new affiliates per month so that I can maintain my five and have some left to re-assign to my hard working members.
