Hello I am new to the GDI family, and plan on launching my campaign in janurary. I first would like to thank anyone who responds to me with helpful advice. I am very motivated to start gaining members but i need some specific answers. Can a few members please answer these two questions that i have. They may be redundant, but it is very important to me, in order to be succesfull for 2007. Thanks

1.  What is the most effective way for me to market to the public. I was thinking about placing flyers on cars? Would you recommend that, or is there a more effective way or place.

2. For anyone who honestly has over 500 people in there downline? What did you do to achieve your success, and GAIN YOUR MEMBERS!

thanks
stan ;D

Your questions are loaded...  The quick answer - Take Massive Action!

Fliers on cars... No - I would never do this. How do you feel about getting a flier on your car? Personally I hate pulling a flier off of my car. I think it is very unprofessional - Creates a poor image of you and your company.

You will have to experiment like everyone else does... Not everyone does the same things. What are you willing to do? What type of marketing budget do you have? How much time can you work?

No matter how you choose to market - Keep it simple. They key is to take ACTION - Don't wait to get ready so you can get ready...  Start talking to people.

INVITE - Followup - Collect a decision - REPEAT

about your questions in the forum. The key is to build a list of people. Yeah offline marketing does pull some people here and there, but honestly think about how many hours you are going to be wasting going car to car or door to door. It sucks and too time consuming.

If you have flyers make them tear awasy so people can pull the tab and have the website on a little piece of paper and put those flyers in High traffic areas such as laundrymats, school bulletin boards if they allow it, library bulletin boards, apts by the mailboxes. Places like that and then occassionally go and check on them and see if you need to put a new flyer up.

Also this is an online business so you should be spending most your time and money advertising online. Building a list is so key to any affiliate program you get into online. If you would like some help on building your list PM me I will talk to you more there.

Recruiting is tough but I agree you have to take massive action.  If you are new to online marketing, I think an ecourse would be helpful to you and SOME ebooks also give some good info.  I took an online marketing course that was well worth the money and am also using a program that helps me greatly. 

Just keep your nose to the grindstone and don't give up!!    ;)

If I could be of any help I would be glad to help you out, in
any way that I can.

Good luck!!

Work Smart not Hard, and ask yourself "How would I respond to that form of advertising?"  Do you like flyers on your car, people knocking on your door, or spam sent to your email?

Think of how you would respond to your advertising method and then think of what would ACTUALLY pull people in with out wasting time or money.  I hear people all the time say use Free Traffic exchanges.  You can spend a ton of time surfing but you will get very little result.  It took me over 6000 views using one of those to get 1 signup and they are not that active.  9that is over 24 hours of surfing or around $15-$30 in paid credits.  Do you click through on any ads when you use a traffic exchange?  Traffic Exchanges will just get you frustrated so stay clear of them (even though 2 of my good friends own their own exchanges :o).

Ok now what I like.  I perfer Business Cards, and when at the store ask the cashier how she/he likes their job, and after they resond ask if they would like to improve their life.  Hand them your card  when you leave.
Second is to use quality exclusive leads, and to get best results for your buck call them, but who likes calling people right.  Just call and say hello I am so and so and resently you requested more information about working at home, I am calling to verify your email (or address if you want to send a DVD and personal letter) so that I can send you a link to a video that can easily change your life.

Traffic exchange programs work excellent if you know how to use them effectively.
Instead of advertising affiliate web site, advertise lead capturing page.
This way I am able to generate 3-4 leads a day on average
sometimes even more.

They subscribe to my autoresponder to receive free list
building report. I've managed to get several GDI affiliates
who work excellent and bring new members in almost
daily.

Do not underestimate traffic exchanges! In my
opinion they are the best free advertising method
online! They require a few hours of surfing every day
but it's well worth it.

Sanjinka

Good Tip Sanjinka,

I started advertising my lead capture pages on traffic exchanges and your right
my leads have tripled and I am getting signups on a daily basis. Thanks

George

You are welcome, George.
I am glad you have success with
this type of advertising.

Sanjinka

I totally agree  :D
Traffic exchanges are one of the most powerful and cost effective ways to advertise, even if you are just starting out.
There are many out there that are effective and free to use.
I usually use traffic exchanges with multi-tab browsers such as Crazy Browser or Firefox browser, so this allows me to generate hundreds of hits to my webpage with just a few minutes of surfing each day.

I have video tutorials from Dan Moses and free report on traffic exchange sites. Anyone who wants to know more, please send me a private message.

Hi David !

Just thought you may want to check this out.
Bram Smith,who is an GDI Affiliate Mentor is offering an advertising plan.
You can e-mail him and ask him to send you the details.
brams@website.ws

I just got into it myself and should be getting leads next week or sooner.

Good Luck !

I want to know also the effective way to recruit people on this business. What kind of strategy of marketing your using to get sign up and convince people tat this business is for real and not a scam.

Thanks,
Julius

Take massive action... Talk to people and collect a decision.

DO NOT CONVINCE people to join. Let them make an educated decision on their own. Have them review all of the information. If they review everything and think GDI is a scam...  MOVE ON, Do not waste any more time & energy. People have a right to remain ignorant if they choose.

There are too many other good people waiting to hear about GDI. Just go find them.

Cheers

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas.

All the above and what works for you is what I suggest. One person may be stong in one area and another person may be stong in another area.

Hi there,
               i've been with GDI for 2 months and got about 3 members in my downline. I just purchased leads and would like to know  how i should contact these leads? Do i email them? What do i write? I'm really clueless.I've used GDI Invite system but didn't get a single sign up.

Can anyone recommend me the best autoresponder for GDI? Would really appreciate it . Thanks

Mal.

I joined GDI a few weeks ago and I have been modeling myself to other "successes" of GDI. I have been producing YouTube video even before getting involved with GDI and the traffic I get is rather large........ people click on my GDI link........ but no hits on my GDI video's. I also.... 3 days ago.... joined up with a leads program and so far.... not a single click. Am I getting disenchanted? YES! :(. I know I can make this work but I just haven't found the silver bullet yet. Even doing what "successful" people tell me to do doesn't seem to be working.

If anyone has any words of encouragement or would like to share their slow start it might help re-energize me.

Thanks.

Good Morning all
 
          I just signed up this week and being new to all this I would like to know what " traffic Exchange Programs are and where do I find them .. rhank you for any info

Traffic exchanges are programs where you view other people's websites and in exchange for that, they will view yours.
When you sign up as a member at traffic exchange sites, you will be asked to submit the URL that you want to promote.
After that you just go to the special surfing link that they provide. Each time you view the pages offered by the surf link, you earn credits.
You can use the credits to exchange for hits to your website.

I suggest if you want to promote your GDI link using traffic exchange, it's better to make your own page with a form in it instead of just using the default GDI promotion link.
This is because many people have used the exact method to advertise, so it's no longer a novelty.

Hi there,
               i've been with GDI for 2 months and got about 3 members in my downline. I just purchased leads and would like to know  how i should contact these leads? Do i email them? What do i write? I'm really clueless.I've used GDI Invite system but didn't get a single sign up.

Hi Fellow GDIers,

It is almost 3 years since I was introduced to GDI.  I had been in NetworkMarketing for almost 16 years at that time and I was really "stoked" when I saw the potential that this opportunity had to offer.  Heck, it was being hailed as the next generation to basic email.

So like many of you I set out to begin building my organization and my pay check.  I found that (at first at least) all I had to do is send people to my movie and they got signed up. As time went on signups began to come slower and slower.  I went from doubling my organization every month to almost having no new signups.  Frustration was in the air.

Thank goodness for the power of relationships!  A good friend and fellow GDIer introduced me to a new and yet old concept for locating people for whom our business and product were good for.  I decided to take a look and check out the info he had shared.

Wow was i surprised to be given a system that had people start calling me to find out how they could join me and use the GDI Opportunity to build a financial wall around their family.

Now this did not happen over night.  It did set into motion my sponsoring hundreds of other people that were like me and wanted to find success online as well as off.

I have been blessed to have had success in this industry and the biggest part of that success is being able to help others get the same.  I want you to know that i am here to help you get the same.  There is much we need to learn to be successful in any endeavor we set forward to win at, therefore I invite you to begin today in getting your education.

How, visit my GDI training site and check out all the resourses I have tested and found success with and try them for yourself.  You might just be surprised to find somethings that will change the way you have either thought or have been doing that turns your business around.  The site is www.wealth411.ws (http://www.wealth411.ws)

I am constantly updating the site at www.wealth411.ws (http://www.wealth411.ws) so that I can empower others to reach the success they seek.  Visit there often and if you have a special concern please email me and I will respond to your request in a timely manner.  I hope to hear from you about your success.

Your Partner In Success,
Marvin Drobes

PS-> Some of the resources you will find are free and some are extremely low cost for most people to take advantage of without breaking their pocketbooks.

Hello.

Hi,

I just sign up today, can you tell me more on what you have shared and how to do it because I really needed to have a work at home.  I don't know much about traffic exchanges, can you pm me for more tips and how to do it, please :)
thanks

Hello, I'm a newbie on the forum. I wanted some opinions on what better to use the business cards or the dvds? What have you had more success with? And on a day to day basis how are you placing these with people? What sort of offline marketing stratagies are you using? And have they proved successful? Sorry about all the questions :-\.

[[iThe are several ways to inform potential prospects about your website you can e-mail them , You can write them a letter, you can call them if there is a phone number avalibale and you can also by word of mouth tell every one you know and have them tell thier friends family co-workers ect.][/i]color=Green][/color]

Hi suzy,

Some downlines just don't reply your emails. Just keep on writing to them every other day offering tips for promotion and update them ehat you are doing for the business.
Most will just wait and see because rapport takes time to develop and people are looking for a leader whom they can trust.
Once they are convinced that you are one, they may just reply  ;)

I have a downline who replied only after 5 emails, after about 10 days!

Hello Melissa,
You are right we should continue to write them and do not frustrate so early.

/Lie #1 - Everyone is your prospect!
As I was compiling this list, I was trying to think of which lie was the worst. Which one
was the absolute most detrimental to a business? Which one topped ‘em all as the
“whopper of all whoppers?”
I tried to narrow it down, but I just couldn’t bring myself to select a definite winner.
They’re all so bad. I’ll tell you though, this one was a serious contender for the title:
“Everyone is your prospect!”
A similar version of this lie is:
“Everyone wants this, they just don’t know it yet!”
An article found in a popular network marketing publication declares that, “You just have
to believe that everyone is you prospect!”
This insane belief has led to such ridiculous practices as the “3 foot rule” and the “when
in doubt, blurt it out” technique.
Because of this lie, people have the mistaken idea that talking to anyone and everyone
they come within arms length of is an effective recruiting technique.
Prospecting Red Lobster waitresses…employees at Marshall Field’s…gas station
clerks…total strangers at malls…the postman…kiosk stands…the girl at
Caribou…leaving flyers on car windshields…
…These kind of antics have damaged this industry’s reputation almost beyond repair.
They’ve absolutely destroyed any image of professionalism and made it harder for
everyone to sponsor people.
These “street hustler” methods of recruiting have single-handedly placed network
marketing on the same level as some low-life schmuck peddling fake Rolexes in the
minds of most people.
It’s absolute lunacy. Don’t buy into this fallacy. This isn’t evangelism for cryin’ out loud!
Not everyone is your prospect.
One of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned in marketing is this:
People Who Try To Be Everything To Everybody,
Wind Up Meaning Nothing Special To Anyone.
See, not everyone is looking to run their own business. Contrary to what we’ve been

told, there are actually a substantial amount of people who are 100% content with being
an employee and have no desire whatsoever to change that.
Some people love their job and wouldn’t give it up for a million bucks. Some people
despise network marketing and would rather be buried alive than be associated with it.
Some people despise business in general. Some people think making lots of money is a
bad thing. Some people don’t have the funds to properly run a business. Some people are
absolutely scared to death of anything that involves risk. Some people have plenty of
money and aren’t looking for anything else. Some people just plain old don’t care. Some
people don’t have time. Some people just aren’t cut out to be entrepreneurs and are better
off working at McDonald’s. Some people are perfectly content with where they are at in
life and have no desire to change. That’s fine.
Whatever the case, you do not need to convince anyone to get into this business. It’s a
waste of your time and energy to try and do so.
Please listen very carefully:
No One Is Worth Your Time Until They’ve Shown
An Interest In What You’re Offering And Have
Asked You For More Information.
I don’t care if someone fits the mold of what would normally be considered “the perfect
mlm prospect”: mid ‘40s…absolutely despises their high-paying corporate j-o-b…wants
out of their 9-5…loads of connections…great people skills…sure, they might be a
potential prospect, but they’re not a prospect worth pursuing until they’re actively
seeking a solution to their problem.
It doesn’t matter how qualified you think a person is or how good you think they’d be at
this business.
It’s not even enough if a person does want to start their own business. Until they go out
of their way to get more information on how to do it, they’re just another bystander. Not
a player in the game. They’re not worth going after.
Sure, someone could have great people skills (a waiter for example) but that doesn’t
mean they’re a good prospect.
They could be so violently opposed to mlm, business opportunities or any other way of
making money besides being an employee that it would take a massive barrage of
information to ever sway their opinion.
If someone has a strong belief about something it can take years to reverse that.
It’s not a good use of your time to try and convince someone who disagrees with your
way of thinking.

As a business owner, your job is not to make a convert out of anyone. Your job is to get
the maximum returns possible for your time and efforts. And that means talking with
people who are, for the most part, already on the same page as you.
Well…why not at least prospect them and find out?
For one, as stated before, it gives this industry a tacky, “second-rate” image.
And secondly, it’s a horrible first impression for your prospect. Because you’ve just
shown them exactly how you do business – soliciting total strangers.
And no one wants to be a part of that.
You see, mlm uplines love to tote the fact that these marketing tactics (the 3 foot rule,
etc.) don’t require any money and therefore are perfect for the average person who
doesn’t have a whole lot of extra cash.
Here’s what they fail to tell you: Second rate advertising methods lead to second rate
results.
When you market this way, it shows your prospect that you’re the type of business person
who isn’t professional (or successful) enough to invest in some respectable marketing
methods. It immediately projects a “cheap,” rinky-dink image.
Who wants to work with a person who advertises their business like that? Think about it.
Do dentists or doctors go around trying to prospect every single person they cross paths
with? Hey there, got any built up plaque you want me to take a look at?
Even if you do happen to hit on someone who has a “business mindset,” they’re not
likely to take you seriously.
Why? Because…
…Who Finds Who First Is Very Important.
When you go head hunting and chase your prospect, the whole operation is doomed to
failure because you’re viewed as a nuisance! When they find you and seek you out,
you’re viewed as an expert.
Positioning makes all the difference in the world.
I remember this one appointment I had with my son’s friend’s mom. She was adamantly
opposed to multi level marketing. The whole appointment with her was about as pleasant
as giving blood. I don’t know why I even bothered doing it. (Oh wait – I do know why!
Because everyone’s a prospect!).
Anyways. Towards the end of our lovely time together, I had given up trying to give a
good presentation and I said, “So what’s your single biggest objection to network
marketing?”
She immediately replied, “Taking advantage of your friends and family.”
I don’t know why but it was at that point during that appointment that I realized how
much I truly hated sitting down at someone’s kitchen table and going through my little
flip chart. And I realized that I completely agreed with her.
I used to get so excited about it. For a very long time I believed that network marketing
was the cure to financial cancer and it was my job to spread the good news throughout
the land. Maybe you’ve thought that yourself. Maybe you still do.
But what finally hit me – after I began feverishly studying anything about marketing I
could get my hands on – was this: Why make it harder on yourself than you have to?
Why expend valuable time and energy trying to force-feed your opportunity down the
throat of someone who’s entirely indifferent?
Why do that when there are millions of people who actually do want to start their own
business? The ones who warrant your attention are the ones who take the initiative and go
out of there way to find out how to do it. These people are prospects.
Another problem with this mentality that really started to wear on me is, if everyone’s a
prospect that means you have to constantly be “on the prowl.”
Anytime you first meet somebody, you’re always looking for that “in.” The “in” that will
allow you to bring up your opportunity. You know what I’m talking about don’t you?
Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry about that? To hold a conversation without
thinking of ways to recruit them in the back of your mind? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able
to separate your personal life from your business life?
If that idea sounds appealing to you, keep reading. A little later I’ll talk about how to do
this by having people come to you instead.
What if instead of having to fork out money for your prospects or leads…people
actually PAID YOU upfront to prospect them? Sound impossible? Not when you
understand the simple methods behind “information marketing.

Lie #2 – This really isn’t sales. We just share products with people.
“It’s not selling. It’s sharing!”
Doesn’t that just give you warm fuzzies inside?
This untruth also has a distant cousin which often takes the form of gibberish like this:
“Your family and friends should buy from you just because you’re you. I mean, why
would they give their business to some large corporation when they could give it to a
close friend or relative. It’s called keeping your money in close circles. People a hundred
years ago used to do it.”
More about this in a minute.
First, let’s talk about the severe ramifications this whole idea of “sharing” has for people
who are just getting started.
Here are the two major side effects of this lie:
Side Effect #1. There’s a huge deficiency of proper sales training because if it’s not sales,
then there’s no need for sales skills. As a result, people are thrown to the wolves totally
unprepared to retail their products and their opportunity.
Side Effect #2. People are set up for failure because they’re given false expectations
about how easy this is going to be. Labeling this whole business as “sharing” makes it
sound like child’s play. New distributors are given the impression they’re doing one
thing, when in fact it’s something else entirely. They think this is going to be a cakewalk
and when they find out it’s not they aren’t too likely to stick around.
When people are fed the idea that it’s simply a matter of sharing, they’re in for a very
harsh reality check.
They go out and eagerly “share” their incredible product with all their family members,
only to be sorely disappointed when they’re shot down. Then they’re baffled as to why it
didn’t work for them.
One of the main reasons people tell this lie is because they don’t want to scare new
prospects away.
They want people to get this nice, cozy feeling that all we’re doing is telling the rest of
the world about our wonderful product and people will be so swept away by our
enthusiasm that they’ll automatically buy.

Hello Friend,
The traffic exchanges are good source for traffic to your website in exchange you will surf to others websites.
It is in free but need more work for it.
Mkhan

Hi there, I'm not against in "buying leads" for your GDI BUT I think you must earn first before you can pay that much. There are some "cheap lead companies" and what do you get in return? a junk email addresses . I suggest you build your list and try to use "free" online marketing tools. I can share my free online tools to you, if you are interested just PM me.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

One of the firsts posters explained to setup the traffic-exchange software to point to the
lead page instead of the show page.

As i am a bit new to this i need someone to explain me what is the lead-page please ?
can you give me the url ? The only advertising page i am using by now is the webpage
displaying the automatic video.

Many thanks

This topic is to help the newly joined GDI members who hail from developing countries or underdeveloped countries.
Please advise new comers ,how to start building their business or the ways to promote the business worldwide.

Yes for most effective way to get new members we should be able to capture leads.
I think this should be trained by our upline if we have good upline.
M Khan

Create a lead capture page and start advertising it.

What Is A Lead Capture Page?

It's simple really, A lead capture page is a simple website designed
with ONE course of action...They are fast loading, visually appealing
one page websites that vividly describe the benefits and features of your
products or opportunity.

The purpose of a lead capture page is to entice your visitor to enter
their personal contact details to request more information about your
offer.

Avoid using generic lead capture pages cause everybody is using them.

Make one of your own that will attract people's attention
on traffic exchange programs. Give something of value
for free in exchange for people's name and email address.
Then follow up with them.

Sanjinka

We recruit in EVERY way we can.  Some of our methods listed below.

1.  Business Cards
2.  Car Signs
3.  Three Foot Rule.  When in a line, and you are within Three Feet of someone.
     Strike up a conversation, end up by giving a buiness card.
4.  We blast ads ALL OVER THE WORLD via the net.
5.   Invite system.  We get email addresses from folks we meet, then put them
      into the invite system.  We have found that we get 4 clicks per 100 invites,
      through buying leads that are 7-14 days old, but when we MEET someone
     and put into the invite system, we get upwards of 20% clicks.

More later.

Hello everyone,

I use an autoresponder to send e-mails to leads.  The e-mails that I send out don't seem to do much good.  I'm not the best writer in the world and the prewritten e-mails aren't much better.  I was wondering if anybody had any decent e-mails (that actually work), that they would be willing to share. If so please PM me

Thanks

hi to all!!
can you help me to increase my downlino to africa or japan?
Do you know some method to recruiting in africa or japan?
Thanks

Hello Everyone,

If you would like to know how I get Traffic to my site please feel free to PM me  :)

To Your Success

Posting on forums has yielded the best results for me
2nd is using e-mails to leads
3rd is promoting the "product" not the "business" offline
4th is Traffic Exchanges

And blogging is probably the most efficient means to create high search listing ... but you have to ensure you have rich keyword content-

Now the key for me is offering my donwline free systems and tools to cut their learning curve and to gain results

HI GUYS
I'M FABIO FROM ITALY
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
WHO OF YOU USE FREE RESORSES FOR GDI?
WHAT?
AND THEN THERE ARE SOME COUNTRY WHERE GDI ARE UNKNOW?
THANKS

Hi fabio,I am also a GDI member in Italy  :)
I use free resources for my GDI business and have found them effective when repeated up.
Daily actions and consistency is key.
I firmly believe if people treat their business like a hobby,then the results they get will reflect that attitude.
I have goals for this business and look at them daily to spur me on to reaching that goal.
I have found forum advertising has worked best for me.
I also post to blogs and submitt articles.
Though one tip:Be sure to submitt your article to a directory which has live RSS feed,which ensures it updates itself frequently,thus ensuring your article gets exposure.

R. Martin, I highly suggest that you read and reread Don Failla's book, "The 45 Minute Presentation..." Since we are building a business we are simply sharing information with people. If they are interested, they will join us. We don't push things on them. We learn to share the information effectively and that is different than selling. The thing is to learn to properly sponsor your downline and to properly advertise the product and do proper customer service. We really are CSR's. If you learn to do those things properly, you will succeed, not overnight, but in some months, depending on how good you become and how much you're willing to work. Secondly, sour grapes are bad for everyone. Let's try keeping it positive. Happy advertising & sponsoring everyone.

I just started with GDI but I had a plan.  I have already had 2 people call me from the marketing method I am going to tell you about.  I happen to be on a few mailing list and get opportunities snail-mailed to me all the time.  You know the ones that have a list of people on it that you move up the list and add your name.  Well, I thought who better than to send a flyer or business card to.  I sent out 40 cards last week and got two calls this week already.  Remember, these people are looking for a way to make money.  All you have to do is introduce them to GDI.

Thanks,

Steve Morse

hi all,

i'm not really all that good at the topics being discussed her.  but would someone mind telling me what a lead capture page is.  where can i find info on it.

thanks a bunch

sandy

I am using a software designed for Traffic Exchanges where I can surf 25 or more exchanges at the same time. It is similar to tabbed browsing but 4 times as effective. I just click on the credit button and when I come back around to the website it is ready for me to click on again! Very efficient. I can surf 500 to 1000 sites in an hour or two.

Brad    :)

Hello,

I am new to GDI and am on my 7-day free trial....I have done my best to spread the word to most of my friends at college and all of them are always skeptical at me....

Anyway, since I'm never going to give up, I just wanted anybody to talk about what they did to get the word out when beginning this business, any cost-free ideas, if possible, for a guy like me REALLY tight on $$$....

Hello everyone, I just recently signed up and I am very excited about this great opportunity.

I have shown the video to a few of my close friends now and most of them dismissed it as a pyramid scheme. What or How would be the best way to explain to them and other potential clients the difference between our network marketing and a pyramid?

Thanks Joseph

Example;
 Pepsi Cola, Walmart, Dell Computers, etc. pay ad agency's to market their product.

In network marketing the company(GDI) uses affiliates to help market their product.
And the company(GDI) pays you when someone buys their product(website, hosting, email account)

Almost every business is a pyramid. You have a person at the top and a bunch of people underneath them
doing all the work. What happens if everyone below the person at the top quits working? The company
makes no money and goes out of business. And your left with nothing.

If you recruited 5 people to GDI and they all quit working, you might not make any money, but you still
would have your website, hosting and email accounts and you would still be in business.

Remember, a lot of people sign up for GDI  just for a website hosting and email addresses.  They aren't
even in it for the business opportunity.

To help you understand what network marketing is, I must first explain what it isn't. First, network marketing isn't a pyramid scheme. Pyramids are programs similar to chain letters where people just invest money based on the promise that other people will put in money that will filtrate back to them and somehow, they'll get rich. A pyramid is strictly a money game and has no basis in real commerce. Normally, there's no product involved at all, just money changing hands. Modern-day pyramids may have a product, but it's clearly there just to disguise the money game.

Network marketing is a legitimate business. First, it's based on providing people with real, legitimate products they need and want at a fair price. While some people do make a lot of money through network marketing, their financial benefit is always the result of their own dedicated efforts in building an organization that sells real products and services.

Pyramids are illegal and are based on taking advantage of people. For a person to actually make money in a pyramid scheme, someone else has to lose money. But in network marketing, each person can multiply his or her efforts, skills and talents by helping others be successful. Network marketing has proved itself as part of the new economy and a preferred way to do business here and around the world.

Network marketing isn't about taking advantage of your friends and relatives. Only a few years ago, network marketing meant retailing to, and sponsoring people from, your "warm list" of prospects. Although sharing the products or services and the opportunity with people you know is still the basic foundation of the business, today we see more people using sophisticated marketing techniques such as the Internet, conference calling and other long-distance sponsoring techniques to extend their network across the country.

Network marketing isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. Of course some people do make large amounts of money very quickly. Many would say those people are lucky. But success in networking isn't based on luck. (Unfortunately, money won't sprout wings and fly into your bank account no matter what someone has promised you.) Success in network marketing is based on following some very basic yet dynamic principles.

Now let's discuss what network marketing is. Network marketing is a serious business for serious people. It's a proven system where the design, creation and expense the corporate team has gone through becomes a road map for your own success. Just follow the simple, proven and duplicable system that the good companies provide.

The real key is this: Network marketing is all about leverage. You can leverage your time and increase the number of hours of work effort on which you can be paid by sponsoring other people and earning a small income on their efforts. J. Paul Getty, who created one of the world's greatest fortunes, said "I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my own efforts." This very basic concept is the cornerstone of network marketing.

For example, most successful people building a network marketing business do so in an organized method. They work a few dedicated hours each week, with each hour of effort serving as a building block for their long-term business growth. Then they sponsor other people and teach those people how to sell the company product and sponsor others who duplicate the process.

By helping the people you personally sponsor to sponsor others, you duplicate yourself. As this process continues, you create compound growth that can lead to hundreds or even thousands of people coming into your business. You leverage your time by helping others be successful and earn an income from all their efforts.

With network marketing, there are no big capital requirements, no geographical limitations, no minimum quotas required and no special education or skills needed. Network marketing is a low-overhead, home based business that can actually offer many of the tax advantages associated with owning your own business. Network marketing is a people-to-people business that can significantly expand your circle of friends. It's a business that enables you to travel and have fun as well as enjoy the lifestyle that extra income can provide.

sanjnkaO, I am new. Does the lead page contain a way for the people to get in touch with us?    Thanks for the suggestion.   What is a free list report?   I would think the videos on the advertising would be good enough, but maybe not.  Thanks

Patricia

How much does this cost?  Sounds like a traffic exchange that would cost something.    Patricia

What lead page are you getting the best results from?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

My experience shows that the most effective and efficient way to recruit is forum postings. Most of my signups came from forums postings.

Promoting on different forums are totally free to use, you get a huge exposure. The lenght of your post is unlimited; you can add new post to your threads, so it is always up to date.

I am very pleased with this kind of promotion. Everyone of you should try it, because it really works!

Hi Every one,
Here is a Two birds with one stone idea that I have been working on, you can steal it if you like.

We sell a product GDI which is WebHosting, WebPage and Email Addressess
I try to market that to my friiends family and collegues,

If they show some interest in the product, I then say to them if their wife stays at home with the kids or their kid is in college with abit of spare time,

That's when i pull out the business opportunity that goes with it.

If they don't show interest in the product itself, leave the conversation rest for a couple of days then you can tell them about this great internet business opportunity you have found.

Everybody wants to make more money Right??

I'm new and can't find help and now I found this forum. Yea! I'm brand new at the internet marketing, so can you tell me what a lead capture page is and I can figure out the traffic exchange. I've joined safelists and mass emailing that my upline recommended and have received no results. I really want to jump start this. I own direct mail advertising coupon magazines and mailed 90,000 full page ads out that I'm hoping will generate sign ups.                                       

Hi,
I'm looking for a software or a system to upload all my leads.. i find that the GDI "invite section" to slow ( entering :first name , last name + email .. one by one )
do i make sense .. in my question ? In other words its taking for ever to type ...+ im limited/cap @ 100 invites per day .. HELP !!!!!  :'(

Is there any way to get that software from you?

Autoresponder services usually provide this kind of service.
You can try getresponse or aweber, they cost $19/month
Or you can take a free trial with iContact
Please make sure that the leads that you upload have opted to receive your emails, otherwise your account or ISP may be banned due to spam complains.

Thanks .. are you having any success ? with GDi ?i cant figure out the one's the leaderboard make it .. any idea ?

Looking for anyone who has ideas on how to drive traffic. I have been in GDI for about a month and a half and I got 7 sign ups and then they started dropping like flies now I am down to 2. I really need this to work my husband really needs to leave his job for health reasons and we can't do that unless we have some sort of income. So I am asking for any ideas on how to drive traffic to my site. I post ads I send out leads in the invite system and I also have joined a few safelists. What else can I do I need this to grow much faster.

Hang in there it might take a while before you see some major results ... btw they are all usinjg a system .. dont be fool

heres an idea we were doing in a different company...if you are within the ages of 18-25 texting is very popular. soo you can send out a mass text, 20 people at a time and just tell them to check out this website. this way you can actually sit down with your upline if you can and they can guide you on what to say. keep notes on who recieved the text, who saw the website or when they will be in front of a computer. and the key is to follow up! being face to face i say is the best. hopefully that will help out some people... i personally use google adwords, way easier but it can get costly.

I find the most effective way to recruit is AUTOMATION.  I have a few systems that I use.

1. CraigsList Autoposter (posts 1000s of ads a day on autopilot).
2. The same system Ash Mufareh uses (he had 306 signups one week)
    - 50,000 leads mailed every other day
    - autoresponder system with prewritten messages for GDI and other businesses
    - great support with phone numbers to talk to live people
    - custom capture pages
    - complete marketing system
    - one month trial available
3. Plus other methods that I send to my prospects that sign up.

Contact me for more details.

The way i'm recruiting right now to start my network is not working good right now. i made a video on youtube about the website and put the link to the video to have people start there own home business and be added to my downline. I also tried sending invatations to my friends by email. The last thing i did was i put the website banners on my custom made webpage to this site like the video said to help me earn extra money. Can anybody help me out on what else i should do? I don't wanna start losing money from monthly payments for my domain. If anybody else has any other ideas i'll be happy if you told me. the way i'm going is not working well right now.

                  Thanks, Thomas Reed
