Be accessible. Offer Guidance. Offer encouragement and acknowledge achievements.
Realize that every affiliate will have a different comprehension level. Ask them what they are struggling with. Ask them HOW can you help, WHAT do they need from you to succeed?

Whatever you can do to encourage participation, communication, or sometimes just a sign of life...
DO IT!
