That actually is a good question that should lead to a good tip for new members. When I started out, I eagerly ingested every point available to me - all the Launchpad tutorials, etc - and I made Silver TL my first month.
Of course, once those one-time VersaPoints were used up I found I was going to be nowhere near even EA without spending some money. It was Ok with me because I enjoy the auctions (even though I can never win!) and the games so T-Credits get me to EA. I can then hit Bronze TL by purchasing a few products from EAs at TCs and completing my To-Do list each day.
My advice to new affiliates would be to complete your to do list daily and then only do the tutorials that get you up to EA status, then leave the remainder of the tutorial points for your second month. Doing it that way those who cannot invest the first few months can still hit EA and EA2 without spending any money.
Of course, I would always recommend to affiliates to use TC for transfer shopping - buy all your gifts there, household products, etc. - but they may need to be involved with the program a few months before they feel comfortable spending money.
