The true secret to long-term success in .WS is to seize upon the benefits of TEAM development.

Let's be sure to set forth postive and value-added ideas that help build your organization.

One of the first is that everyone get to know their Upline and, also, make contact with their downline on a regular basis. GDI is a dynamic enterprise so, let's not be passive and 'wait for something to happen' but, rather, take the incredible package of WebSite services and the highly effective marketing systems and share with everyone we can. Timing is everything and the TIME is NOW!

Second step to team development is to expand your goal setting, individually, to TEAM goals.

Third, identify special skills Members of your Team have plus, allow them to expand those talents and systems by sharing with others.

Fourth, make this forum: www.talk.ws a part of your schedule on a regular basis.

Remember, we are at the very beginning of an extraordinary explosion in the Power of WebSites.

Great Chip!  Truly one of the KEYS to "Long Term" success.  Team Building.  Identify strengths in others.  If I had to do this business .. or ANYTHING .. on my own, I would be in serious trouble.  Thank goodness for an awesome team!  ScottR

Hi Guys!

I'm super excited to have just found the new forum here!

I love it!

I once read something regarding MLM that went something like this...

"Show me a network marketer that jumps from company to company
and I'll show you someone who is broke and frustrated... Show me a
networker that has displayed focus and persistence with one company
for 5-10 years and I'll show you a millionaire."

 ;)

Excellent observation, James~!

.WS is long-term so, let's take advantage of OUR first-mover advantage.

Remember, thanks to GDI, we, as .WS Members, have the ability to open the doors to WebSites, worldwide.

Anyone who has basic email but, does NOT have a WebSite, as yet, needs to know all we have to offer!

Chip

Wow James, I think I am going to post that right near my computer, because unfortunately I was one of them, but no more, I am planting my roots with GDI and no matter how long it takes, I with the help and guidance of all of you am going to be a success.

Debbie

 :)

I agree Deborah. Because of this forum, we can all succeed with GDI. ;D ;D

Hi Debbie!

Now that's the spirit I'm talking about  ;D

Hey Gerald... Nice sig file  ;)

I am so glad this forum.. was created for us... I believe that everyone who really focuses on GDI will become a millionaire... I know I am...

I like the site so far. I spent about 3 hours just reading posts and learning and looking at everyones web-sites. Kudos to everyone! I am still looking for other ways that people have built their organizations. Please let me know. Even when we have a nice size downline, it is always nice to have something else to try. I think that Network Marketing is very powerful. I have become quite successful in the past couple of years. I just didn't give up. You will never fail if you never quit! I have been doing this for going on 4 years now, and it has been a long hard road, but it has been interesting and has finally paid off. If anyone would like to learn about some of the ways that I have built my organization, please e-mail me and I can show you some of my methods of building. To stay within the guidelines of this forum, I will not link to the actual site, but it has a lot of good information on it. Please contact me if you want the URL. Happy GDIing!!!

Hi,

Network marketing is powerful because of the relationships that you establish in helping others. There's no greater purpose on earth to fulfillment in your own personal life.

When we look at our total organization as both the upline and downline, we create a system of support. Napoleon Hill interviewed 500 millionaires and discovered that they all used the same principle of a mastermind group.

That's why my new slogan for M-L-M is "mentor leading mentors!" Network marketing allows us to step up to the plate as leaders, both in our organization and in our communities.

"The world remembers only those who have conquered it!"

Global Domains International is the vehicle that will take us to wherever your heart desires!

Be a winner!

Having just put my .ws domain to good use by setting up a forum I can tell you that networking is the way to forward. I've just been asked to do my first joint venture, so get out there and network.

There are some great books to read about network marketing and
they will really open your eyes to the power it has.

Here are some titles that can give you a firm grasp
on the subject and give you the knowledge and
understanding you will need if you are going to
go big and put serious time into this industry.
They are fun too.

50 Reasons Why People Fail In Network Marketing

 1. NO WRITTEN GOALS. Doesn't know what they want out of life. No direction or dreams. Confused and lost.

4. UNORGANIZED. Wastes too much time looking for documents. Cluttered desk.

5. Poor RECORD KEEPING. Doesn't keep accurate record of transactions.

The #1 Reason People Fail in Network Marketing:

Working for the Quick Buck Rather than Thinking Long-Term.

A lot of network marketers work really hard to recruit tons of people,
but don't HELP those people.

I've found if you focus on helping a small team of people GET IN PROFIT
and then teach them to do the same with their small team, that attrition
rates drop dramatically and everyone succeeds.

GDI/.WS makes that easy since we have the ability to move people after
they sign up.

By building our teams DEEP before we go WIDE, we can help more people
start earning while they are still learning.

Plus, they can see you are committed to helping them by your actions of
helping place people under them.

The loyalty this creates is priceless.

Many people who are new to home businesses may take several
months to start seeing recruits.

If, in the meantime, they are at least seeing that their downline and
income are growing, they'll stick with it.

Build DEEP. Create STRONG legs. Then move on to start a new leg.

You'll experience less attrition and will enjoy this business a LOT more!

Happy Marketing!

WOW!  This Forum is great.  I'll never forget this statement:

"Show me a network marketer that jumps from company to company
and I'll show you someone who is broke and frustrated... Show me a
networker that has displayed focus and persistence with one company
for 5-10 years and I'll show you a millionaire."

I will reach my goals with GDI no matter how long it takes.

Hi Rhonda
 U-go-girl. U got that right...on the nose. I'm gonna find me away to copy that and put it on my wall. I like what all u said. 50 things can change to wonders!! ;D

I totally agree!  Those are perfect reasons!



Conte

As we rise to the top, not only in members but, in rich significant content, it’s important for everyone to get involved.

Contact your upline team and invite them to join us here at the forum! We value your involvement!

Thank you,

Nicole & Chip

That is so true.  These forums have been a God send.  Also, I've had a lot of people not even in my upline going way above and beyond to help me out.  Also, thank you for you help.
Steve Morse

Steve,

I Think you and the rest of the team of GDI understand the importance of momentum and not only team building but life long friendship that you and your entire org can have both inside the forum and outside.

We have lots of members who have solid uplines, and sponsors but for those of you who don't never be afraid to ask for help or attend many of the team trainings that held throughout the week.

Team we want everyone in GDI to be success story but understand it will take dedication and passion to bring in key people who share this same vision.

This business is not for everyone so sort and sift and remember you have the support of the entire org at GDI.

Take care and hope to see you on the numerous calls or training sessions available for everyone during the week.

Howie Martell

Hawaii Leadership if can do this part time build business you can to!

I don't like to use the word failure when dealing with online businesses.

The reason is that sometimes in a persons lives we have the intial stage where we have that 72 hour high were ready to start getting our business hopping.

Then the little voice in our head says man thought this would be easy and decide to drop out in less than 2 weeks.

Network Marketing is long term business in which were building relationships first letting GDI's 7 minute movie do must of the explaining for us most people want support and simple system.

The average person who has no prior experience in marketing online can feel over whelmed we must give this individual the tools to be successful. Other than tools we should show them as upline we care about their success and be good friend to everyone on our team.

Sort and sift and indentify your leaders and come up with plan to benefit them and anyone who joins GDI.

Always wake up in the mornining and feel blessed to have a great business and your future is much brighter since you own part of life changing business with GDI!

Network Marketing is very powerful!  It's the only business that allows people to earn income from others efforts and make friends at the same time! how beautiful!

Hey also you guys want more MLM Legal Stuff you can go to the buttom of my website and visit the lawferm that represents companies like GDI and the DSA.

The key is Having Fun!

Hi, All...
I have with GDI for about a Month now..
I sill haven't gotten any sign-ups.... I am not giving
But, I really need some advice on how to get sign-ups... :(
I have emailed around 350 people and I saw that I had
3-Views... Then when I emailed them to say thanks for
viewing... One person blocked me from there emails..
I want to get started really bad, but when you can't
get anyone to sign up... I know I am really getting
frustrated... So, if anyone knows how to get sign ups.
I would really appreciate the advice..            :'(
               Thank-You all..                       
                                          Shymom

Hi Shymom,

I posted previously on how you can get a responsive list of emails, you can refer at the link below:

http://talk.ws/index.php?topic=6844.msg18956#msg18956

I believe that the problem that you are facing is common. This is the typical response from prospects that you emailed especially if they don't know you.
Have you shown the dvd to people that you know?  That is the easiest way to get sign ups.

Melissa

Karen

Keep it simple.

#1 Resolve to never quit!

#2 Invite - Follow-up - Repeat

If all you are doing is email invitations... you have to send 1000's for anyone to join. Email marketing is not an exact science. Many mass emailers send numbers like 1-2 million in order to just get 50-200 responses, from that they may get 1-10 signups. I'm only sharing this with you to give you an idea about "the numbers" when it comes to emailing.

 I suggest you actually talk to people in addition to your emailing efforts. Using the DVD locally is a smart idea as well.

How many people have you actually "talked to"?

I'd be willing to bet you will have better response when you start talking to people. Keep your head up and NEVER QUIT. Quitting is the only way to fail.

 :) Hi guys i'm new to GDI I really think it is a great web site!!, so now i'm seeking ways to build a net working team how do i do that any suggestions. I have basically desiminate all my site on the search engines but now, i really need to find a way of building team.

I am a New Member of GDI. I need Some Experience GDI Members Assistance. I didnt Get Any Downline Yet.

G'day mates in MLM,

I was with GDI and two other MLM based companies several years back but I had to resign due to ill health, first with my wife then I too became ill. As I was seriously ill I could not use my computer or the net, anyway, I had more important things to think about at that time.
When I was released from hospital and my health improved, I decided to get myself another ISP and "try" to generate an income from MLM again... So starting from scratch I rejoined two of the companies I had been with before my bout of ill health, the third company, I found out later, has been renamed, but I had already found another long standing health company with a great reputation to take the place of the old health company and I plan on staying with and promoting them!

I had been with those first three companies since, 1, 2000, 2, 2004 and the health company #3, 20001 and I did use the three companies products, then a mystery illness hit me in Sep' 2006, after that I had a massive heart attack at the end of Jan' 2007 and was hospitalised for a procedure, I was released from hospital at the end of Feb' 2007 and I did not feel well enough to get a new ISP and get back online till Nov' 2007.
Once I got back online what was the first thing I did? I went and joined the companies I had been with "before" I became ill!
Anyway this saga is about MLM and promoting MLM programs so here's what I found.
Back in 2004 I bought a cgi script that would let me run my own downline club, I listed the programs I was with and started promoting my downline club URL and I did manage to recruit a couple of hundred members but...Not "one" of those members followed me into any of the Business Building Programs I had listed in my club!
The products I was promoting are great products that are in demand world wide, the monthly fees were very reasonable and I was using and recommending the products! But no-one would walk in my footsteps!

Okay! So what did I do? I dropped the club, dumped the members list and stopped promoting the club and the products but I continued to use the products myself...till I became ill, so I had been using those companies products for over five years...from 2000, up till I became ill in 2006!

When I got back online in Nov' 2007, I rejoined the companies because they all have great product which I use, I know these products are used by millions world wide and after five years or more of dealing with the companies, I know the companies are honest and above board.
I updated my downline membership script and published the script to a new domain I registered for that purpose and I am working on a few other sites (community site) for the members of my downline club, I want to build a MLM community where people/members can earn an income, can correspond with each other, share pictures and ideas with each other and more but... I feel I have little chance of success.

In the past, before I became ill, I had a couple of hundred members in my club...I wanted those members to take the easy way to making money in MLM by following me into the programs I "knew" to be honest and had in-demand world wide products but
Each and every one of my members wanted to promote a "Pay Your $25 And Become A Gazillion air Overnight"!
I got pretty fed-up receiving emails from members stating,

Bill, I have just found this great program, it's in prelaunch at present and will only cost you $25 or whatever to get in! This is going to be gigantic Bill, you don't have to do any promoting, no meetings, no phone calls, you just pay the money and reap millions! So let’s promote it to all the members so as they get in early!

Needless to say, I did "not" promote any of those rip-off programs to my club members but I did join two of them so that I could give an honest report to my members, with one I got in early and got my $25 back but that was all, with the second, I paid my $25 but got nothing in return! Anyway, I found most people "want" to believe the BS that says they can pay $25 or whatever and make millions by doing no work of any kind, just get one or two friends to join the program!

And so I don't hold much hope of people believing me when I say that making money from MLM is easy and fun, they only need to be prepared to "invest" around $1.50US per day in "their" future, follow me into two programs that I have been with for five years and they will be well on their way to MLM success! But too many people have the “Do Nothing” BS mentality on making an income online...and that’s a great pity!

Sorry for the long rambling post, I wish you one and all great success in your efforts to be successful with MLM.

Bill Whiteside

PS. Should you want any information on my Downline Building Club, PM me and I’ll get the details to you.

Thankk you Rhonda for such infomative information about Marketing. Very Nice.

 Leadership is precious and a valuable quality one must respect at all times, including the leader himself.   Not respecting this privilege can lead to massive destruction to you and your sales force.

It doesn’t matter if you are in network marketing, a director of a strong sell force, or a manager of a bunch of customer service reps, you must value leadership.   Your team is more dependent upon your actions, thoughts, and speech more than you realize.   One false move or inaccurate speech could diminish the relationship between the follower and the leader instantly.

I have a good business partner of mine (I’ll call him Shawn) who I’ve also established a solid friendship as well, outside of business.  We often consult to one another about the ups and downs of business, how to expand, increase more sales, and more ways to motivate our network marketing team.  Often he complains that the person he follows and looks towards for leadership isn’t there.  He states he doesn’t answer or returns his phone calls, and hasn’t for filled his promise to him. 

The promise mentioned at the beginning: guide him to riches beyond his scope and help him become successful.  The problem:  Two years into his pursuit of happiness, he’s more successful than being armed with riches beyond his imagination.  Shawn now views his leader as misleading, not helpful and it seems he’s willing to give up being a follower of his authority and leadership.  The relationship that was once as solid as a rock is now weakened to the likeness as a sand castle built at the foot of the ocean shores.   

Was leadership in question with this scenario or not?  That depends on the time frame given, if it was ever mentioned.   But the point here shows how priceless leadership is to a follower seeking guidance.  It is a privilege and honor to whom possesses it.  The guidelines to becoming a successful leader in business and network marketing are priceless.  These rules should empower you to transform into the leader followers are seeking:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->The ability to develop in other people and others want to follow.  Good leaders will develop other leaders within their team or sales force.  Leaders can’t be intimidated when a followers develops into a leader.  A leader’s goal is to birth leaders and develop them into self sufficient soldiers.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->Unification. Getting everyone on your team doing the same thing. Constantly gathering the team together forms a strong bond of unity among each other. Leaders must consistently unify his group in order to develop them and help them grow.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.       <!--[endif]-->Decision makers.  Powerful leaders are decision makers.   They shall often make non-wavery decisions based on the team rather than themselves.  A leader without a firm decision is not a leader and followers will not continue to be lead by non decision makers.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.       <!--[endif]-->Getting the team paychecks.  Your followers believed in you enough for you to sponsor them, lead them to success, now you must show them the money.  It’s a leader’s obligation if the followers are coachable.  Show your team how to produce paychecks consistently, and they will gracefully trust and respect you.  Financial success is the main reason they started.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.       <!--[endif]-->Lead by example. This should have been number one.   You must walk the talk before you can give orders.  Whatever you ask your followers to do, it must be something you’re willing and capable of doing.  If you can’t run four miles non-stop then don’t expect your followers to do otherwise. Leading by example demonstrates that you have to know how beforehand.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.       <!--[endif]--> Loyalty.  Can your followers trust you?  This is a personal characteristic that must exist in every leader. Loyalty will last when everything else falls apart.  A disloyal leader is one of the major causes of failures within groups.

A leader missing anyone of these traits is doomed for failure, and his followers.  Possess and learn these principles, and you will lead many to success.  Swarms of people will follow you in all walks of life.  Be glad that you are chosen for leadership, because leadership is a privilege, and not a sacrifice.

Yes,  I am tired of the rat race and I am looking forward to making some stream of income with GDI.   So here I go...again. 

I've always found it alot easier to market GDI to fellow network marketers!

That said, my network did not grow like I imagined it would.

I think it was because the majority of them were just believers of MLM but had no more friends and family to sell thier new network marketing business too.

I think everyone is jumping on the buying leads or generating leads and pestering them with spam bandwagon.

Come on guys, do you like spam?

Too many people are getting rich promoting this CRAP!

We need real duplication too make GDI work for all of us

I believe in the power of network marketing but we have to put our heads together and come up with a REAL answer to the DUPLICATION mystery.

Take a look at my blog to see where my head is at and comment back if I'm on to something.

This kind of colloboration is what we need to make GDI a REALITY for all who join,

NOT JUST A POSSIBILITY!

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to share my marketing plan that I made with GDI. I am planning on marketing GDI to my local small businesses that do not have websites. I plan on telling them about how we don't charge for separate services, they can get ALL of our services for only $10 a month. Being that there are a lot of other sites out there that do website services, I tell them that we are able to keep our costs down by doing direct sales and the money we save we reinvest in our customers/clients. That's when I lead into the income opportunity, asking if they have ever gotten paid for recommending a book, restaurant or service. Your answer is almost always going to be NO! Then I tell them that for every person that they recommend our services to, that they get paid %10 on five levels (basically, I break down how our pay scale works and I have a print off of the commission pay document from the back office documents so they have something to look at and read) So, to give them ideas and help see the EASY EASY income opportunity, I tell them that if they know someone who needs a website (and I list examples such as a private music teacher, another small business owner, a garage band, etc.) or if they know someone who is looking for a nice income opportunity, to sign them up and tell them about the 7 day free trial! I also, use the marketing DVD's to go around my town to find willing affiliates looking for a nice income. There are certainly more than ENOUGH small business w/o web service that people would be able find plenty of clientele.   

in the money im lovin it like mcdonalds

I have been affiliated with GDI for some time now, maybe for a couple years, off and on. I have to say, I'm still learning everyday and will be for life. Im ready to get seriously active in here. Thanks for all the tips, and advice, everyone.

this is all good post! thanks for the value.
