I think you need to create a very interesting contest first. A contest that even the other affiliates that is not on your team wants to join. You need to put yourself in the shoe of your downlines, what do you think they are looking for in the contest, what makes them so excited to join the contest, what are their preferences in terms of the prices? Second, You need to inform them in a way that makes them jump for excitement or that makes them curious. You need to be very creative both in creating the contest itself and creating the invitation email for the contest. Third, I think this is very important, You need, really need to build rapport to all your downlines. Don't just chose the affiliates that you wanted to give a good relationship with (But I'm not saying you are not giving a fair treatment to your affiliates). Because I believe it is very easy to convince people to join in something, or to let them do something if they trust you and they believe in you. People don't want to participate because they hate the contest or they hate or don't trust the people who organized that contest. And you need to make sure that the invitation is sent to every affiliate not just to those people who are active in your group page. I think it would be more effective when you send an invitation trough emails than though posting in a group page alone. I hope it helps. :)
