That obviously depends on the sponsor. For me, as long as the affiliate is sending traffic consistently and the traffic is producing even one to two sales per month, I'm happy and willing to work with that affiliate to help them produce better.
One of the best ways a newbie can learn about this biz, aside from reading the message boards every day, is to join a good affiliate program, make an honest attempt to send traffic, and establish a good relationship with his/her account representative.
The job of an account representative is to help affiliates sell better. They are usually really good teachers and can help newbies learn the biz and develop the skills necessary to make them successful in this business.
It always amazes me that webmasters want everything a sponsor can give them for free except perhaps the most valuable thing of all -- knowledge.
