I'm new to the business. On general terms, what are people's findings in regards to the following: Generally, how long (or how many people) does it take to sign up 1 new member that remains active?
Or to put it in terms of a week or a month, what is a general rule? I.E., sending 40 invites usually brings in 1-2 people, or 10-12...something.

also - i won't lie... I am a sucker for instant gratification. Is there any way to get even 2 or 3 people started? I just want to get this to be real for me. Once I have this, I'll feel a bit more comfortable about this all.

Hi
I just started as well.
I think most important is to have a positive attitude to start with and a good relationship with your upline.
I am in contact with my upline every 2nd day or sometimes even on a daily basis. All 5 uplines are available for you to contact and they can probably give you good advice on how to get started.
Best of luck!

You must remember that everyone is different and we all have a different "sphere of
influence." For the last 6 years (before GDI) I have been adding names and e-mail
addresses to my e-mail distribution list. I do newsletters and once GDI came into the
picture, I immediately had people in my organization. I put people on drip campaigns.
Anything I promote I will have some success with. I don't mean to be bragging but
your list really is everthing. Again, I did start my list 6 years ago and it is working.
I hope this helps,
Alan

Hi Lynda:
Drip campaigns are friendly little reminder e-mails. A person has to be exposed to something
6 to 7 times to take action (like a dripping faucet). From my website, I give away free stuff
to capture information (name, e-mail address) and then put people on a drip campaign.
All I have ever wanted from people is to just SEE the GDI Flash Presentation (the 7 minute
one). First e-mail they receive, probably gets deleted (Sunday, don't want to do any
work. Second e-mail from me also probably gets deleted (busy, life gets in the way). About
after 5 to 7 e-mails someone responds. They either remove their name from my mailing or
take a look at the GDI Flash Presentation. My e-mails are short and create mystery so the only
way for a person to learn more about what I am talking is to see the GDI Flash presentation.
I usually get 3 to 4 sign ups each month.
I hope this helps,
Alan

How long it take depends on how acrive you are in promting your business. There are tons of ways to advertise your business. Classifieds online and newspaper. FFA, forum sig files, blogs, capture pages, google add words, adsense by google, posting articals, safelists. Depending on your advertising methods, you will want to advertise the product or service, not the opportunity.

Hi Portia, Hits from traffic exchanges do not produce signups..they guarantee you traffic/hits to your website which is what you are receiving. What gets you signups is introducing your GDI business to people that you know. That is why GDI created the invite system. For every 10-15 people you introduce GDI to, you may receive 1 sign up. So let's say you know 250 people, You may get 15-20 signups from them. If they do the same, the same results. Now I do not guarantee the results, but they are typical. If you do not want to use the invite system. The create a simple email and send it to people that you know: Hi First Name, I recently started a new home business. Check out my website at www.Freedom.ws/Username or www.movie.ws/UserName/FirstName&LastName. I'll contact you later. Your Name Go Here That's it in a nutshell. Frank Me too. I have been with GDI for a little over 2 weeks and have received over 600 hits but no signups. Using trafficswarm,instant buzz,and safelists. But no signups. Can someone send me an email campaign that is working for them to generate signups.

I've found that this is a good marketing strategy. The KEY is a good subject line and to keep the messages short. |
