Friends/family have a great impact on a person's mind and if they discourage, the person is forced to review his/her decision. Same thing happens here.
So, you before asking him/her to join make the thing clear that it is not a "One day billionaire" scheme, but an open business where you are your own boss free to decide the amount of work, amount of training and also the amount of money to be earned. So it is more dependent on the affiliate rather than you.
Next is you can assure him/her full support or you can motivate them by some examples( yours would be a better one) and show them some easy ways to earn money like marketing at TripleClicks.com, ECA listing and also Pricebenders.
Next you can transfer him/her some T Credits or a Gift Certificate could work if they need to buy anything meanwhile, when they have no money to buy.
The bottom line is you must explain him/her that earning money more dependent on him/her rather than you. You as a sponsor can help him/her out but the job is to be done by them only and they will be paid on the basis of their work. Everything is in their hands, they can be even more successful than you or may not even earn a penny if they not work.
