In the same way that you do not need to answer to your upline, you do not need to constantly contact your downline. When you take on a new member to your downline, you may immediately go into "training mode" and want to teach this new person everything you know about the business. I used to feel the same way and I've started to approach new team members differently.
Be Available But Not a Nuisance
I used to reach out way too much to new members of my downline. I'd get so excited at the thought of having a new member to the team that I would go out of my way to welcome them and bombard them with training information. Personally, I would like that type of personal attention but some people don't care for it. We have to remember that just because someone has signed-up under us, they are still their own separate business owner and will run things their way.

Now I send out one email for every new networker in my downline. I give a brief introduction about who I am and how I can help. I let her/him know that they can get in touch with me anytime. After that, I don't make anymore contact unless they come to me first.
Since a person goes out of their way to choose you as their sponsor, it's easy to assume that they want to learn from you. Keep in mind that they may not have chosen you because of who you are. They may have really liked the opportunity and happened to sign-up with you - plain and simple.
While you may want to go out of your way to make your downline successful, you can only do so much. If most of your downline is unresponsive, don't take it personal. Everyone is different. Once you have made it clear that you can be reached when they need you, leave it up to them. In the meantime, continue growing your business your way. When people need assistance, they will reach out to you.
