Yes, there are limits.
When I started out, I wanted so badly for my team members to achieve that I "gave away the store", as they say. I handed out TCredits and Gift Certificates like they grew on trees, and my team members did nothing.
Now, I set well-defined goals for my Affiliates, and give incentives for reaching tjose goals. TCredits, Gift Certificates, PSAs, even T-Shirts are part of my incentive plan, but ONLY when the goals are met. (I have them outlined on my Leadership Page, and direct all new Affiliates there). If you "Help" them too much, they'll most likely collapse when you stop propping them up. Having small milestones for them to conquer is more fun, anyway! It also teaches them to set goals for themselves.
Give your Affiliates a lot of attention, not a lot of money. After all, if you spend all your earnings on them, what is left for you? Like children, they will remember your attentiveness forever As adults, they will appreciate that you treat them as respected equals.
