HELLO GDI MEMBERS

One day said to myself how can reach a totally new market who have money and the need for web presence.

I said simple go to where the prospects hang out and drop cards into popular books, magazines, and in pant and shirt pockets while shopping as normal consumer.

You all may say wow thats sneaky I Think it is way to reach people long term it takes time and dedication each week but enjoy the challenge.

On top of this also drop my cards in cashiers hands, with tips for baggers, phone booths, newspaper racks.

Another simple method been using also is when paying bills always include a card or two with my check or payment.

People these methods our not new and with the way email is sometimes you if you really want to start to explode your business have to get out of the

comfort zone and go out and meet people indentify leaders and have them trained to duplicate some of these simple methods.

While at these stores also have simple sign on the back of my car says Tired living Paycheck to Paycheck want  to earn more! rcd msg 1-877-578-6210

So no matter where i go advertising while driving or at the movies.

We don't need to re invent the wheel keep it simple and show your members You Care about Them!

God Bless

Hi Howard
Couldn't agree with you more...you've given me inspiration to "go back to basics" and I agree with all the other posts that there is too much emphasis on making money as opposed to a superior product. Once your sign-up understands the value of the product, only then would they get excited about selling it and only then will the money come!

I am also new and thought I would make a killing through google ads...well surprise surprise..so I am also going the route of first selling the product, second prove to your sign-up how valuable the product is, identify, train and assist the ones that are excited and after some long old fashioned hard work, sit back and enjoy the income!!!.....and please I am not knocking the internet gurus coz they know what they're doing but for us newbies....hey one can be extremely creative just with old fashioned basics

Has anybody ever thought about a way we can assist one another from a geographical perspective with off-line marketing? ....we're scattered all over the world ( I'm in South Africa)...I don't know why I am saying this...just thinking aloud!

William

The GDI World Forum is quickly establishing itself as the *go to* place for information, answers and helpful comments.

Please Post your top marketing tip for all to see and consider making many of these ideas a part of YOUR business building regimen.

Chip

Great idea, Norma! I'm going to write that down on my GDI marketing plan and place classified ads in college newspapers and place flyers in my local community college.

Gerald

Is it possible for me to design my own banners? or do I have to get permission/approval from GDI first before I can use them?

ie. It would be nice if I could have a selection of colours and content depending on which (of my own few w/sites) would suit best.

~Karen

Hello!

Well, I've designed my own logo for promoting GDI regarding to my username and Chip advised me to contact Support department for approval!

This is (I think so) similar thing so maybe would be best to turn directly to them!!!

By the way, they approved me logo and is seen on www.tatjanap.ws (for now)

Best wishes!

Tatjana

Thanks Tatjana,

For purposes of demonstration, I have examples here:

Using a currently available banner: http://karenbristol.ws/

Using self-designed alternative banner 2: http://karenbristol.ws/Page2/page2.html

Using self-designed alternative banner 3: http://karenbristol.ws/Page3/page3.html

I should email links to support maybe.

~Karen

Hi Karen,

Those are awesome!!!!

I would think they would approve them.. You pretty much have
the same thing ..just different colors...

I love the purple one!!

Stacy Perez

Thanks

Yes, it was mainly the colours I wanted to change (to go with various site backgrounds), but as I'm always coming up with ideas, I wonder if I'd have to have approved every one of them.

~Karen

Thanks

I knocked up only 2 in a hurry, but I had a few other colours in mind, as well as other ideas for design.

~Karen

Well - do one in my colours - you know - as sonce (sun) yellow and orange!!! It would be great! Do you like sun colours??

And go ahead and write to support. Put the ideas on the table and then you'll be able to see if they'll approve them or not. If you won't show them, they won't know that you have any at all!

SO - ACTION!!

Tatjana

 :) :) :)

what program(s) are good to use to make your own banners?
thank you,
Natasha

 :) Another great idea, Norma! I may see if I can come up with a neighborhood letter. We have a neighborhood association where I live, and it might be something they might like for posting events in the community, etc.

I've also thought of contacting churches. Many churches don't have websites, especially some of the smaller ones. This might be of great interest to them. And, by offering it to them in a way where they could make extra income with it I think would be a real blessing to them.

I'm not sure if it would be better to call them on the phone or first send them a letter and then follow it up with a phone call. If anyone out there has done this and has any sample letters or scripts in this regard, I'd greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Keep thinking of those great ideas, Norma!

There are a lot of uninformed people out there who think if they promote their affiliate
link a couple times they will be successful. This is not true as there are many people
out there who are doing the same thing and not making any money.

The truth is whatever you are promoting online; you must build your list and put all
prospects on a drip campaign. I am going to share with you how I build my GDI business
using the drip campaign technique.

FREE is the most powerful word in your advertising campaign.  I constantly advertise
the following FREE benefits of visiting my GDI site.

Submit 12 million Ads for FREE!
1000 FREE Leads per day for Life!
Free Sotfware Free ebooks Live seminars.

As you can see, I have something for everyone, whether you are promoting nutritional
products, movie and books clubs, legal and tax help programs. Something for everyone
and I am giving people a compelling reason WHY to visit my site. I am helping everyone
and at the same time building my e-mail list.

Everything on my site captures information.  I then put each verified person on a drip
campaign. I send an e-mail on a Sunday (first drip) encouraging them to see my GDI
Flash presentation.. 2 days later (drip) another e-mail reminding them again about
the GDI Flash presentation and 2 days later (drip) another one. Sunday and Tuesday
could be bad days to look, but Thursday might just be right. This again is called a drip
campaign. People are busy and don’t always have time to look.  After a while however, a
dripping faucet will cause someone to take note and take action.

By the way, all my messages say very little creating mystery and just encouraging them
to see the personalized Flash presentation.  Many people out there are saying way too
much.  Little is better.

If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Take care,

Alan

Well, see what you think of this one: http://karenbristol.ws/Page2/citrusbanner1.gif

It may take a while to fully download, then you right click on the pic and then click 'save picture as' to your hard-drive....upload this to where-ever you store your files, then you would need to incorporate this into your webpage using the html code:

<a href="http://website.ws/kvmlm2/my.dhtml?sponsor=YOURMEMBERNAME"><img src="http://THEPLACEWHEREYOUUPLOADYOURFILE/citrusbanner1.gif" border=0></a>

Only problem is, so far, is that I emailed support but haven't received a reply yet :(

~Karen

Hi Natasha,

I still don't know for sure if we can design our own banners as no-one has responded one way or the other yet.

The program I used is Paint Shop Pro, and a trial version is freely available for download (as well as for sale at a greatly reduced price for older versions) at the Paint Shop Pro section of the Jasc Software website. The one I got was PaintShopPro7 which came with Animation Workshop 3.

I first designed the background in PaintShopPro on a canvas size: width 468 X height 60, using the floodfill tool, and changing the foreground colour & stroke style to gradient. (There are many other choices including different colours and textures, and various other tools to design anything you want)

Then, on a new layer, I added the car (which I'd previous changed the colour of by using 'colourize' in the colour drop-down menu)

Then I saved as a .psp file (so I could then use as a master which I could then edit to other colours and styles later)

When I got the colour/style combo I wanted I then saved as a .jpg file (which merges the layers) and then opened this file in Animation Workshop.

I then added the text effects from the 'effects' menu. I used 3 separate text passages so I had to do this 3 times. Here, you have a choice of colours/fonts/size as well as any selection of 'effects'. I used 'highlight' and customized, changing the text appearance, the flare size and colour, the effect length, and the frames per second (fps).

I then saved this as a .gif file (using customized settings for the optimization process...I could have made it a smaller file size with collapsed frames but it may have been of a lower quality and not come out the way I wanted)

And that's all there was to it.

I hope this helps.

~Karen

Great! Thank you Karen! Well done!

Well, about the answer from support: I've got their answer the next day, but I've used the form Request support and not the direct e-mail. Maybe you should do this, too! I don't know, but I've noticed, that "Request support" is better to use.

Tatjana

Very Good Advice, Tatjana, re: "Request Support" link in the Member area!

Chip

Do you have some examples of your minimalist approach to emailing. I am tired of all the long winded emails that I get and I am sure that there are people that I am about to send emails to that feel the same way.

Thanks

Robert

Yes, thats the link I tried. I queried them in regards to something else also, but have not had a reply to either :(

~Karen

Hi Robert:

It is not so much what I say but more the frequency of my e-mails which is every two to three days.

Your e-mails should be short and they should create curiosity so your prospects actually see the flash
presentation.

I try to ask questions in my e-mails such as "What would you do with a couple extra hundred dollars a
month?  Would you take a weekend vacation? Then I point to the Flash presentation.

Let the e-mail message be about the prospect and not how great your opportunity is.  That is the
whole point of the Flash presentation, it does the talking for you.

I hope this helps,

Alan

You have a ton of great ideas, I have also heard of people having success on e-bay.  You can do diff promotions through them

I just posted this idea to my training newsletter.

How would you like to get a flyer about GDI in the hands of 5,000 or more people in about 1 hour? This little technique works and several years ago I tested out myself. Unfortunately I do not have any statistics to share with you but seems like I remember getting dozens of calls from a previous MLM company I was promoting.
 
The first step is to have some flyers http://website.ws/home/flyer printed up at your local print shop. To keep down costs, I would get them printed in black and white on a brightly colored paper like fluorescent yellow or orange. If you have the ability and know-how, I would design your own and create a flyer.
 
Ok you have your flyers here's what you do.  This is so simple your going to say how come I didn't think of this.
 
Go to a place where people are seated "stadium" style like at a football, baseball, basketball, concert, etc.  If you can, grab a friend or two who is hopefully a GDI rep in your downline.  Using your teenagers works well too.   
 
Here its the process step by step:
 
Step 1: Grab a handful of flyers and walk up to a row that is either full or almost full, tap the person on the end on the shoulder and say "Please do me a huge favor... Take one and pass it down".  You will look in amazement as your flyers are distributed by hundreds of complete strangers. 
 
Step 2: Repeat step 1 until all flyers have been handed out.
 
That's it!  People always want to help others out and they will do exactly what you asked them to do.  They typically don't even look at the flyer until they have passed them down. That's why this method works so well.
 
Most of your flyers will end up on the ground but you would be surprised how many people actually call or visit your website.
 
Typically anytime I use a method like this I don't put my personal contact information on there because every once in a while the manager will call and tell me not to do it again.  So to avoid this problem I only list my website.
 
Remember this before you go out. "It's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission"!
 
You won't get arrested, but you may be asked to leave if the wrong person spots you but I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Hi..I am totaly new in this GDI ..marketing..etc. Taking courage the way you guys going about it. Just "wondering" how's is newspaper response by putting an  Advt. with our www.website.ws/.... Is it OK to do it..IF anybody have tried "hows the rating" on this me method..Thanks Jeffrey

Great going!   

Karen I love those banners!!!

Norma, Your July 9th post to this thread suggesting a newspaper ad is a good one.  One step further and of benefit to all of us would be a COMPANY generated press release, made available to all Affiliates to utilize in their local newspapers; one that could easily be edited as to affiliate name (if they wanted that included), contact information, telephone numbers, etc.

A company press release would look professional to the reader, capture the attention of MANY in the IT/computer/domain related world by the announcement of its new registry (dot ws!) and official information on the Company itself. The press release could include benefits of a personal and/or business website, plus our other valued features.

You or I could do basically the same thing on our own, but in most metropolitan area newspapers, the cost for our "ad" would be really high.  However, many (not all but many)  newspapers will run a Company produced press release as news within the paper itself (NOT classified or retail ads) and quite often we can get them published for free.

Great thread, guys.  Norma, you've got a ton of ideas going on.  That's awesome!  I'm certainly impressed, and I appreciate that you're posting them here.  As someone who is new to this, and as someone who is the anti-sales type of personality, I appreciate all the help I can get -- particularly as far as having a place to direct the new folks I'm recruiting in.  I am going to send a message to my downline and let them know about this thread.  Particularly since I interact with many stay-at-home moms, I think the children's gift of a web site idea is invaluable.  Thanks again, Norma, and everyone.  ;D

(now let's see if I can get this to actually post..... ???.....)
 

Re:Share your best...
I received an email from a national jobfair coming to my area Las Vegas and you know, I thought that would be a great place to promote with GDI business cards or the promotional flyer to get real people who are looking for work that have (brains) common sense, but out of a job or hated their routine job. That's my idea I came up with

Thanks Alan... I'm just starting in GDI and your advice is brilliant... it is ALWAYS about finding what the prospect wants and solving their problems.
Nola  :-*

Posted by: KarenB

My advise didn't work this time as it seems!!!

Well Karen, maybe you should patiently wait a bit longer! The support surelly has a lot work to do.

Tatjana

What an awesome idea.

Thats a great idea.

I invested in 36 .com domains a year ago, they all have a steady ammount of traffic and now I have pointed them all tomy GDI website and im really seeing some results.

I am also posting flyers around my local area, and using Google Adwords, using all these advertising methods as well as free advertising im seeing alot of progress.

Hopes this helps a few people.

Thanks

I know how hard it can be to advertise. Here are a couple things to try. If some of these ideas are repeats from previous posts I'm sorry I just kinda skimmed through.

Drop some flyers off in grocery stores in their free racks where publications like the Greensheet/Pennysaver are.
Make tear tag flyers and place them on apartment home bulletin boards. (Had a good deal of traffic from that)
Co-workers are great!
Flyers on car windshields. (May have to do this on more then one occasion as I haven't really seeen a good response to this kind of advertising for a one time shot)

Just a few things that came to mind.

Good luck to all!  ;D
Jason

Thank you, Norma, for the many tips which will be most helpful to our Members.

Chip

I cannot believe how many Great Ideas Norma has. She must be such a bundle of energy. I look forward to reading every day what else she has come up with and She is always so encouraging and welcoming to everyone. Thanks Norma!!

                      Regards... marie

Terrific Suggestions
Thank you all and especially Norma.  I never in my lifetime would have come up with such remarkedly terrific suggestions.  Keep up the good work, your suggestions are an inspiration to me, and to others.  I am certainly going to watch this board more closely.
Regards, Lynne

Yes, thats ok, Tatjana - I've still not had time myself to complete my ideas for my website so there's no hurry at this point *lol*

~Karen

Wonderful Norma!

Can't wait to see them!

GSmith What a wonderful idea!!

I just wanted to share what I do with a couple of pages on my site. I use the first 2 pages to promote the GDI business and I use 3 of the other pages for my family. I have 8 brothers and sisters :o and they live all around the country. Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Virginia, Utah and California. My family will email me with pictures of their kids, upcoming events, vacation pictures, etc, etc. I take that information and post it on my site. I also have a guest book where we can leave messages for other family members. I have a brother getting married in October and my parents have me posting announcements about the wedding. It has really brought us closer to where we don't seem so far away from each other :'(. I emailed every one of them with the web address to the 4th page of my domain. From there I have links to the other 2 pages for the family. I do not have these family pages published on my regular GDI pages. It has really worked out great and my family loves it.

I guess what I'm getting at here is that if you have someone that doesn't think they could use a domain or website and doesn't need this, then you can tell them about other ways they can use the sites. It doesn't have to be just for promoting a business.


I've rambled enough,
Thomas

Great idea Thomas!

~Kyra

Thomas,
  I'm very new to this and was in conflict about the web pages or not. I think what you are doing is great! Tell the family hello and good luck with our GDI Independent Affiliates. Maybe you could help me to understand web building some time! BaWaHahaha! Keep up the great attitude and freedom!
                                                                                                                                 Jewels

Hi, I'm new to GDI, but have done some internet marketing with other businesses and I have found that press releases are a great source for gathering leads.  I use general information about GDI and a small paragraph that I am available for consultation.  Since I live in a small community (about 4,00 population) in an out-of-the way part of AZ, this method gets disseminated pretty quickly, since the paper runs once a week but covers a majority of the county where I live.

Thank you for the overview on drip marketing, Alan.

His interview can be heard at the archives of the www.wsinternetshow.ws.

Also, let's hear from others as to their 'drip' campaigns.

Chip

This particular thread alone has so many ideas in it..... it's like GDI 101 marketing ideas.

Thanks :) Can't wait to get started.....

Great Observation, Pamela!

WE have only just begun~!

Chip

Yes, Ideas to ACTION and quantify the results.

Chip

Thanks for that Norma
                               that idea is a beauty!  :D
                                           

Hello,

What a wonderful and potientially profitable idea.  Sign me up.

SSmith

Norma....

That is an excellent idea!  In additon, waiting till August 1st gives everyone the time to get their plans and thoughts together.  Implementation.....put it all on paper for you to visisbly see each and every day.  One important thing is, you gotta stick with it.  That is so important!  Let's make this the biggest 60 days GDI has seen....

Thanks for the suggeston!

Frank

I'm up for a challenge.  I (unfortunately) don't have time before Aug. 1 to make a chart, but if someone hasn't made one by then, I would be happy to make one and share with all. 


 ;D

I really love this idea!  I'm in!  The only catch is, I can't start August 1st.  I'm going away tomorrow and after Sunday the 31st I won't have internet access again until Aug. 12th (there-about).  If someone makes that chart, though, I'd love a copy.  I will begin implementing as many marketing techniques as possible in the location I will be.  (Small audience.... fly in fishing camp.)  Anyway..... I will look forward to catching up on this thread when I get back!

Promo Tips

Tip:

Leave a business card every place you go! Ask every waitress if they like their job when you go out to eat. Of course they will say "No" or "It's temporary", so hand them a card and tell them your seven-minute movie will make a difference in their life. I also leave them when I am buying groceries at the grocery store. I leave them with my tip on the table. I don't care where I am, I leave a card!

Tip:

One of the most important aspects of this business is follow-up and more follow-up. Contact leads and prospects by phone whenever possible.

Tip:

There is no real secret... Get as many people as you can to view the WebSite and watch the video. The people that understand the lifetime value of this opportunity will jump onboard. It is not a get-rich-quick scheme: It's building a residual income that will keep on growing and growing.

Tip:

Use the business cards. People love business cards. Purchase as many as you can and leave them everywhere you go! Mail them in everything you mail. That is one of the best forms of advertisement out there.

Tip:

 Connect with your growing upline and duplicate them.

Tip:

Use the ability to place people in your downline to your advantage. Tell people if they join now, you will place someone who joined yesterday beneath them. This gives them an instant downline and the incentive to take action and join you right away.

Tip:

Be persistent! For many, the timing may not always be right. Don't give
up: Just try again.  Treat your $10 business like it is worth a million dollars. By working hard every day, it could potentially become just that. Get excited! Enthusiasm rubs off. Be passionate about your business and give it 100% of your attention.
Finally, never forget the success of your business depends on your efforts to help others to become successful.

Tip:

Put a business card or the flyer in every envelope/bill you mail – this is very effective.  Tape your card to ATM’s and parking garage meters and leave a few – also very effective.

Tip:

When I first got started I was sp intrigued with the program that I got off to a really slow start.  To avoid this my advice is to learn your "back office" and harness it's full potential. 

To accomplish this just start with the first link and start clicking and reading.  This way you will become so familiar with all the info that when a new affiliate you sponsor needs to find our info you can direct them to where they can get it.

Second, I would invite you to start building your list (people who you can invite to see and hear about what you are involved in). DO NOT PREJUDGE anyone!  Just keep writing a list of everyone you know that you can send an email invite to through the invite system in the back office.

Equally as important is to meet your upline so that you can take advantage of them when you need help. 

Lastly, always remain teachable, stay positive, work smart and follow directions that will lead you to the success you want to achieve.

Tip:

Run an Ad to sponsor an organization for fundraising.  Example:

WANTED!

Three Local Area Organizations with 100 plus members to test market brand new and powerful fund raiser concept.   Potential for Great Profits paid to your organization monthly, now and for years to come!    No cost to Organization!  Product is personal Domain/Website and 10 email accounts for $10 a month. Contact: Your Name, GDI Fund Raiser Sales Affiliate - email: Your Email Addy.
I would then tell them I will pay for their monthly $10 fee, if they are serious.

Tip:

Be consistent. Whether you are sending out email invitations, advertising, distributing business cards, mailing postcards, or whatever. Keep at it and follow-up with those who express an interest.

Tip:

Use search engines to generate leads you can call and talk with. Also, the leads from GDI are a good deal, but don't forget to follow-up.

Tip:

Sample email ad -
 If you are in business or just want to start making money on
the internet you are in the right place.

As you know, we are entering the information age. Internet
growth and online users increase every day.

Here are some statistics:
•   As of September 2004 there are 801.4 million people who
have access to the internet. 295.4 million English
speakers.
•   Over 50% and 60% of internet users in the USA and Canada
respectively now have broadband access.
•   Internet access has more than doubled in the USA from
2000-2005. It has multiplied by 2.5 times in world
overall.
•   82% of recipients have bought something as result of a
commercial email advertisement.
Note: These statistics come from different sources
including Nielson/Net Ratings and global-reach.biz.

It is inevitable that the internet and therefore internet
transactions will continue to increase until practically
everyone will be on the internet.

There are currently an estimated 114,093 business
opportunity seekers coming online each and every month
looking for business opportunities and increasing.

Let me ask you an important question:

What are you doing right now to capitalize on these
facts?

http://www.my.ws/userid

Sincerely,
Paul J. Fisher

P.S. - We are on the verge of an internet boom. Please don't
wait. Get in on the action now while it's most profitable.

Tip:
 
Find other high traffic sites and contact them to place your ad on those sites.
(A BIG WINNER!!!)

Tip:

Do you know someone who is getting married?  Suggest to them they can share the good news in their own personal website. They can introduce their finance, share pictures, list their plans for the future, list their color choices so others will know what to buy.  Let's face it, getting married is an exciting time for people and they want to share the news in a big way.  Perhaps the parents of the bride would like to purchase a site as a gift for their daughter. 

That leads me to this next idea. Why not market to the bridal shops or printing agencies who could benefit by marketing websites to the future couples? I can see the benefits since it could add to their bottom line. What do you think? (Norma)

Example:  The business can get cards or flyers made up to have on their counter.

Tip:

REMEMBER THIS: The fastest way to make money is to solve other people's problems.

Don't market GDI.  That's just selling people.  It's marketing AT them.  In his book "Unleashing the Ideavirus", Seth Godin says stop advertising AT people. 

Market a solution!  Fix their problems.

Most people don't really care about how many gigabytes GDI's service has.  They want to know how GDI will solve their "lack-of-money" problems. 

I didn't join GDI because of the hosting, I can find hosting cheaper on the internet, I joined for the opportunity!  Those other hosting companies don't and won't pay me to build a 5 level organization, much less pay me commissions EVERY month.

Tip:

Below are some questions that could be added or revised to put in an ad, flier or letter. It may help some of you to think of reasons others may become excited about this business opportunity. After all, we all have our own individual desires as well as burdens so it takes different buttons of interest to really grab our emotions.

Lead them to take a mental look at where they are now and visualize where they would like to be!


•        Do your loved ones complain about the long hours you spend at work?

•        Does your work leave you too exhausted to spend quality time with your
         family and friends?

•        Does lack of money prevent you from taking vacations?

•        Are you dissatisfied with your job?

•        How many holidays and important family functions have you missed because you 
         couldn’t take off from work?

•        Have you ever been too sick to go to work but were told you had to be there?

•        Are you being rewarded fairly for all your hard work and expertise? 

•        Does your job offer you support and teamwork or a Boot Camp nightmare?

      Then show them the benefits or way out of their situation. Lead them to see the value
        in other words.
 
       Let them know that with their own home based business They are in charge! 

      They set their own hours!!
      They can build their business while working their regular job.
      For only $10.00 per month there is no risk involved.
      They will have all the support they would ever need at their finger tips.
        I just listed some ideas to get you thinking. I am sure you will come up with 
      many, many more.  (Norma)

Tip:

Next time you are in the Library make a point to sit at a table long enough to view a magazine or something. Then, when you get up "accidently" leave a flier or business card on the table. The next person that sits at the table will notice it and may very well check it out.

I have "accidently" dropped business cards in the doctor's office and other places. I guess I must be clumsy. Oh well, I have many more!! lol

Tip:

I invested in 36 .com domains a year ago, they all have a steady ammount of traffic and now I have pointed them all tomy GDI website and im really seeing some results.

I am also posting flyers around my local area, and using Google Adwords, using all these advertising methods as well as free advertising im seeing alot of progress.

Hopes this helps a few people.

Tip:

Another thought came to me. Why not purchase some local newspapers and put one of your fliers inside. Drop them off at a desk in an office or nursing home (nurses do read them) or any other place you wish to market. Since you are buying the papers and offering them as a free gift why not?

As a nurse, I can remember how much I and my fellow staff appreciated getting free newspapers to read on our breaks. We often talked about the different articles and etc. We also shared the coupons!!

Another great place would be to leave the newspapers in waiting rooms at Doctor's offices or hospitals and Clinics.

Also, if you have recently bought magazines that you don't need anymore, you can put your flier inside and donate them to all the areas I mentioned above. What do you think?



Tip:

Drop some flyers off in grocery stores in their free racks where publications like the Greensheet/Pennysaver are.
Make tear tag flyers and place them on apartment home bulletin boards. (Had a good deal of traffic from that)

Tip:

When Halloween comes around why not have small treat bags already put together and place a business card or magnet inside each one. I would prefer the business magnets since they will probably be put up on the refrigerator.  Or you can have some balloons with your website info printed on them and put one in each bag as well. Parents will check out the goodies and find the marketing tools you have put inside.

Tip:

Why not market to families?  Explain to them how great it would be for them to have their own websites so they can share pictures, news, and just stay more connected as a family. What do you think?

Paul,

You've brought up some really good tips! I've had excellent results from placing an ad on high traffic Websites. This is definitely cost effective.

Another tip: Make sure you always track your advertising efforts so you know what's working and what isn't. Otherwise, it's like working in the dark.

Nicole

Those tips all came from you guys. I just put them together so you can copy them to read everyday for inspiration. There's a whole lot more.
Paul

 What a really inventive idea.

I think the best people to market to are webmasters who attract a lot of traffic to their sites.  They wouldn't have to spend much out on promotion and all the people they sponsor would do so through the webmasters main site. 

wow! the excitement here is blowing me off! i'm swamped with all the great ideas and i'm reali gonna take one up seriously. i think marketing to bridal shops is a great one. if i may modify that idea a little - send an email to brial shops and tell them they can get their business on the net using the web hosting service and email addresses. then put the idea to them that they can use a free 1st month sponsorship for their client's wedding site as a promotional item to couples, and they can possibly earn from it in the long run. what do you guys think?

i'm excited with this idea. but i'm not very good with composing mails. if someone thinks this is a great idea can you draft a short mail for me (and others who are interested) to use??

also, to do offline marketing, can someone send me a good black/white flyer to use?

cheers.

eRick Tan, Singapore.

Sounds like the contest is in full swing. I will be rooting for all of you! ;)

I don't think I will be able to participate though unfortunate as it may be. At the momemnt I'm actively running 2 businesses and just had another business proposed to me with no out of pocket cost. So you could say I'm kinda burning the candle at both ends. :o

But I will continue to show my support to you all as well as posting any tips or ideas. Over the last few days I have been hitting different HTML sites hard and gaining a TON of knowledge. So my site is going through a major overhaul. I expect to see many success stories here in the near future though and I'm anticipate that our newbies now will all be master affiliates soon! ;D

Best of luck to you all...
Jason

P.S. Once I get my new site finished I will post it up so you all can see the fruits of my labors.

   
    Thanks for that suggestion Martin.I have been thinking along  those lines and wondering if it could work.
        Thanks for sharing your positive results.  And you too Norma ofcourse. Such simple and inexpensive ideas
         that can be done straight away. Though I am still nonplussed  as to why my valiant effort with my card drop failed so miserably. ???. It must be something to do with the Oz mind set.
                     I am still waiting for my cards  to arrive,from GDI. this time. Incidently I managed to salvage two of the "orange" people in our  downline luckily I still had their email addresses. Feeling rather good about that. :D
         
     

Hi Chip! Do you guys have a FLYER made up that I can copy & take to the College Bulletin Boards?
 ;D

Hi Michael,

You can get a flyer from  http://website.ws/home/flyer

Gerald

Everyone,

This is what I have been doing which has help a ton..

BUILD and CONTINUE to build your own mailing list...
OFFER something so people will want to subcribe to your
list.  My niche market is moms/parents who want to work
from home.. AND I am getting ready to tap into another
one.

SEND at least one email per week .. sharing your progress,
new things happening, etc..  I don't just send ads.. I
sell them by my experience with something.

It has contributed a lot to my rapid growth.. I have been
in GDI about 1.5 months now and marketing it for a
month...

I am getting ready to broadcast an email to ALL my subscribers
with an update of the past month..   I will let you know what
happens..

Best Wishes,
Stacy Perez

That's a good niche to target. What's your website, and how are you building your list?

Do you know someone who is attending college? Have them to pass out some
GDI flyers on your behalf. College students associate themselves with friends and
friends of friends and so on.

Not to mention the student organizations that they maybe apart of.

All The Best
Gerald 8)

I have a college an hour away-but they are very particular about any strangers wandering around because of all the student murders. So I have not yet tried to hand out or post anything there. It's the University of Florida. Bundy etc. But I want to when the classes resume.
Deborah H 8)

I used the flyer mentioned below but I scanned it and made it so that their are two of the flyers on one sheet of paper. Then cut them in half. Saves paper and the flyer is smaller. I slip them into free shoppers that sit next the the paper boxes. I also have someone that delivers papers to machines and he puts some flyers in papers for me. but he has to be carefull as he can get in trouble doing that. But the free shoppers etc are fair game!
I also save ALL the envelopes that are already paid postage. I figure that person that opens the mail "might just be sick of opening envelopes" and I put one of those half page flyers in it or a couple of business cards. Who knows? Doesn't cost much though.
Deborah H  8)

I just took a look at your website Stacy.( Iclicked the world iron under your picture) cool!
I can see you have exactly what  a lot of my downline lack. A really big reason and motivation for
doing this business.
Congratulations  on your present success and I wish you lots and lots more! :-*

Yes I think that is a great idea too Thomas as I have been thinking along the same lines
I was thinking I could have a power form on my site with a password and user name for the family to use
that accesses the family area only.     Perhaps  that wouldn't go  down well with a commercial site though?I would like some opinions  on this one?
       What a good thing to do rivals the business  if it brings family closer together these days when so many  seem to
spread all over the country. Nice if it works both ways! :)
       To your ongoing success Thomas!I thiink you will do very well in this business!

Hi everyone,

This truly is a great business!  I've been in this business for about two weeks and I have a team of 6 people.  All I've been doing is simply talking to people.  It's more effective then just passing out flyers (which can also work).  Eventhought we are a part of an internet based business, it's still a people business.   

When I speak to people I don't try to talk them into joining the business, my goal is to get them to see the presentation.  I tell them as little as possible but enough to peak their interest.  If they insist on asking me what it's all about I simply tell them, "The internet is growing and everyday a new site is being added.  What if you can get residual income for life from every new site on the internet?  Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?"  They almost always say it's a good thing, then I direct them to the presentation.  I don't answer any more questions until they've viewed the presentation. 

This is an automated business system that works for you.  When I try to explain everything I get nowhere, however when I let the system do the work for me, I get results.

Michael!

You are absolutely right!  The best way is to WALK & TALK...Then from there send the people interested to the movie!  The conversion rate should be stunning because they can put a face with the presentation.  Excellent topic!

Frank

Thanks to everyone for all the GREAT ideas in this thread! 

And Norma, you're just a never-ending idea-machine, aren't ya?!  :o 

One point of GDI that I've shared with folks I've talked to in person is that in just a month's time, since coming to the GDI forum, I've "met" SO MANY great people internationally that I would never have had the opportunity to associate with otherwise.  (Coming from a background of working in the legal field, I can tell ya, I was pretty much surrounded by angry people who are very cranky under all that false office lighting!  This is a WELCOME CHANGE!)

One thing you'll learn quickly about having your own home business is that it takes plenty of promotion to succeed.  You'll probably spend at least eighty percent of your time doing some sort of promotion.  This is the key to making money online, and failure to promote can cause your business to seem hopeless.

Promoting Always

Whether you're spending all day every day working on your home business or only a few hours per week, always save some time for promotions.  Keep a log of submissions for link exchanges with other businesses, submitting your articles or website as a resource to other websites, preparing and submitting pages of your website to the major search engines, etc.  Have a steady stream of promotions going on at all times.  Activity produces activity.  You'll be amazed at how steady promotions will help your home business.

Promoting Everywhere

Keep your website address before others as much as possible. Create business cards with your web address printed on them and pass them out to people and to other business owners around town.  When you have an opportunity to speak with or do business with someone online, send them a business card in the mail to get something tangible in their hands.

Add your web address to all of your printed materials and ads.  For example, if you run a local newspaper ad, include your web address for more information.  If you place an ad in a magazine, do the same.  When you have envelopes or letterhead printed for your business, add your web address to every item.  When you mail out materials, keep in mind that the materials will be viewed by others as well (i.e. postal workers and mail carriers). The more exposure you have to your web address, the more visitors you will gain.

Promoting to a Targeted Audience

When marketing your online business, be sure to focus only on your target audience.  Study your market and find out who your target visitors are and where they hang out.  What types of searches do they perform in the search engines?  For example, when placing keywords in your web pages, use keywords that your visitors would use during a search.  You'll be able to reach your target audience if you learn to think like they do.

When you find your target market, try to think of the types of websites they might visit and network with these websites for link exchanges, articles, etc. You'll find that this is more effective than blasting an untargeted ad out to millions in hopes that a few might buy.

Beware of Promotional Gimmicks

When searching for promotional avenues for your web business, you'll be exposed to a neverending stream of "cheap" promotions that promise huge results.  An example of this might be:

"For only $2.99 you can receive 50,000 visitors in a matter of minutes!"

What's wrong with this picture, you might ask?  First of all, where will the 50,000 visitors come from? Are these all absolutely unique visitors?  The reality is that many of these visitors are the same people viewing your website over and over again.  Watch out for these astronomical claims.

This type of promotion sounds wonderful on the surface, however, when you ask yourself the questions above, the smoke begins to clear.

Marketing your home business on a continual basis will lead to visitors and ultimately sales.  Never allow your business to become stagnant.  Visitors to your website will recognize when it's no longer growing. You'll need to keep promoting and keep growing to have a successful home business.

   I like your bold titles reading down in order it says Promoting, Promoting, Promoting,  Beware of Promotional Gimmicks  lol......

  When I try to accomplish "My One Task a Day"  minimum, this is usually it promotion. Getting seen in different veniews and common ones as well. 

  I am learning this all the long way and one thing I quickly noticed is:   There are alot of promoting veniews out So be sure to write it all down     

  Places submitted to, the dates, which URL's, when you can resubmitt sites,  and after I got used to that, I would take note of where I got traffic from, and make sure to re-submit to those places.

 Thanks Nicole Great section as usual ;)                     I hope these suggestions help others out.  Take Care,    Dennis

 

Great article, Nicole.  Thanks for posting this.  :)

Learning to beware the hoaxes out there (as in your last paragraph) are things many of us learn the hard way, especially when people are new to having a business and are very excited about it (and therefore working more off of emotional impulse than thinking things through).  So, I think it's good that you said that.  Hopefully people reading this who haven't made that sort of mistake won't have to now.

I also like this....
...because my mail man (who I've known 14 yrs) told me the other day that he liked my web site.  He'd apparently seen in on one of my postcards, which I thought was cool.  I hadn't really considered that other people would catch that kind of thing.

Yes Nichole,
That is good information. I had never thought to have my site plastered on envelopes etc. Its on my car, in my bills I pay and submitted to search engines, on cards and flyers but on envelopes is a super idea. And you are so right about being carefull with the too good to be true submits. Not only are they bogus but you will be flooded with spam email from them..I KNOW all about that!
Thank You for the ideas. I want all the GOOD ideas I can get!!! And you dear are always so helpfull. I thank you for it and all you've done to help us in our GDI business promotions.
Deborah H :D

Hello, Team GDI

I agree with everyones different ideas keep it simple where anyone can accomplish this simple tasks.

How about when you go to the major sporting events.

You could place drop cards on cars and in places where people frequent the most.

Another place people could use drop cards your local park and ride areas only few on every other car and place them on the drivers side having the message face towards the prospect.

The idea here is to get as many people interested as possible find out more about the person who got your drop card and finally build a business relationship with them providing tools and guidance.

I know I've come up with a bunch of ads lately, a few are listed elsewhere in the forum. I just though it would be a good idea to have a thred of just ads,banners,logos or whatever kind of ideas we can all come up with to help each other.

Here's a banner I created for the tag line: Got Dot? Why Not? IT PAYS!!!

(http://site-images.ws/cust/90200/gotdot.jpg) 

(http://site-images.ws/cust/90200/GotDot1.jpg)

On putting flyers on windshields. I have heard and seen this when I worked at the university. People will yank them off and toss them in the parking lot. The whole lot is full of wind blown flyers. They are hot and cranky and the last thing they want is a dang flyer on the windshield especially if they didnt notice it until they got in their car.
A BETTER way to advertise to them is to slide a business card in the door window where the rubber seal is. Just tuck it in a little. It wont blow off and they can pocket it as they get in the car. Doesnt aggrivate them as much and these nice cards we have are keepers. So into the pocket it would go. UNLESS the car looks like a pride and joy super expensive well loved thing. I might just pass on messing with that one.  ;D
Deborah H

Thank You Norma.  ;) Very welcome.
The poor grounds keepers had a heck of a mess when anyone placed flyers on the windshields. WoW..I know it irritated me. ???
But where there's a will there's a way.
Yeppers there is! ;D
Deborah H

Hi Nicole,

That is SUPER! Well done, I take off my hat to you for giving the advice and guidance to members to succeed in GDI business. I wish everyone will have the opportunity to read it and benefit from your useful and constructive ideas.

Best regards.
MattS  :)

I wonder how teachers would feel getting a website with a business opportunity as a Christmas present. When my four children were in school I always purchased gifts for the teachers both at Christmas and at the end of school term. ( No, I didn't give apples!! My kids would have eaten them on the way.)

I would think that word of mouth would go a long way when that teacher shared the unique gift with fellow alumni and family members. What do you think?

All my best,
Norma  :o

Absolutely.  Especially, too, as end of the school year gifts, since the classifieds online are PACKED near the beginning of summer with teachers looking for summer jobs.

This is an example where gift certificates would come in handy.  (Hint.)  ;D

I just posted this idea to my training newsletter.
by Steve Farber © 2005

   Hey Steve,

   Wow!   ;) I really think that this is an amazing piece of advice.  Especially for people that you are  :) intorducing to this extraordinary business opportunity.   :o Imagine showing them how to promote it before they even try it out for free. ::)  That's like throwing a worm to a fish and forgeting to mention the hook, line or sinker.   8) Although that is where this analogy would end of course, because unlike the fried fish, our leads get the chance of a lifetime. :D


N. V. Seecharran

Yes is it ever awsome! Are we sharing it????? ;D
Deborah H

I like that! I would LOVE to see that in a banner-sized ad :) I like the fact that "yourname.ws" is located right in the red circle. That really stood out to me. Keep 'em coming, I like the work you have done Logan.

I have been trying to discover how to configure the URL so that the movie will play.  I want to design a card or label sized ad that I can just drop anywhere or give to someone I meet.  Can anyone supply me with the URL and how to make it work for my userid?

N,
Anyway to get your training letter??? :-*
Deborah H

I just thought of this idea over the weekend, 
I have in the past signed up for alot of work at home programs, so my name and address is out there.  It is crazy how much mail I get on making money from home.  Just in the past week I recieved 4 chain letters...you know the one that starts with (Greeting's I am a retired attorney)
There are 10 names and addresses on that letter, and they all want to make money, and have financial freedom.  So why not send them a personal letter telling them about GDI .  :-\
 

 :o  Really happy my GDI cards have arrived.That is good  However I do not intend to do a random drop with them: the only people who will get one of these had better be  really really interested. ( they certainly have been along time coming.)these cards :'(

Is stuff like that considered spam?  I mean, if they're spamming Sonya and she writes to them telling them about our opportunity, I think it would be nuts for someone to get upset about that.  But with this spam policy crackdown, I'm scared to try that.  If we're allowed to do that though, I'd love to know, because I get a ton of emails like that, too.  (like the "turn 6$ into 6000$ email, etc)

I've never tried that, but you know you might have a good idea there. 

If these marketers know us well enough to send us emails, some with  our names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, etc.   And feel they know us well enough to write to us, then they feel they know us.  Sounds like a lukewarm market to me.

Sherri.

I think it would be OK. You might want to ask the spam guys at GDI though.
I did it a few times myself but I always saved their email in a folder with their info in case it came back on me. I only did it a few times as I wouldnt think theyd be interested if they are market something else. But ask GDI's spam guys and see what they say.
Deborah H  :)

I wouldn't think it to be considered as SPAM, only because it came to you first....most likely from someone you didn't know. And their email addresses are listed....meaning they're obviously looking for something!

But then again....I would also go with Deborah's suggestion and verify it with GDI....just to make sure....you don't want to be involved with all of the SPAM regulations going on...and you definitely don't want to lose your membership over it.

 :)Great ideas Norma, I really enjoy looking at your comments, however when you replied to Anne Marie when she asked if it would be better to send a letter to a person before a pnone you said a letter would be better, could this not be classed as spam if they have not asked for information about the busines first?? Your comments and any others are most welcome.

Best wishes and success to all,

Bryan Cl

Here is what I would do in regards to the thoughts of sending an e-mail to the ten or so e-mail addresses that came with a "spam" e-mail received.   LOL!
Real dummie there sending out other people's e-mail addresses in his contact to begin with.   

But, since you now HAVE those addresses, I would take the time to contact each one of them personally and individually.    Something along the lines of the following:


HI JOE,

My name is Gail Smith, I reside in Texas and I, like you, recently received an e-mail from "Retired Attorney John Doe" asking us to take a look at his business opportunity. Did you actually look at it, and if so, would you mind telling me what you thought of it.

NO, I am not plugging or promoting his business!   LOL!  I do like to network market though and I find work-at-home opportunities becoming the current biggest trend, world-wide for employment seekers.  I like to check out what others have to offer, compare programs, etc.  Because you were included in his mailing, I suspect that you like to do the same.  Am I correct?  Are you currently working with a company that is going well for you?  Perhaps I need to take a look at yours!

I have been invovled with a really legitimate network marketing business since April of this year that has already started to generate a stream of income for me.  In fact, in my very first week with this new company I earned several shares of CASH in their weekly  $5,000 CASH GIVE-AWAY promotion, for sponsoring other people and since that time I have continued to earn commission every month. 

So far, in comparison to the many other companies I have looked at, this company definitely has the most exciting program with a VERY timely and very in-expensive product, and it has already attracted thousands of Affiliates in over 180 countries to date.  It's FREE 7-Day Trial Period has really proven to be attractive to the many now taking a look at this program and checking out this company.

I would like to send you my link to a short 7-minute video that is a LOT OF FUN to watch. It will give you a short overview of what this program is about.  If you are interested in more information after watching it, at the end of the movie there are other links you can go to, to read all about our company, its compensation plan, program, product, history, etc.   MAY I SEND THIS TO YOU?  I promise NOT to contact you again after sending it, unless you contact me.   I believe if you take the time to look at it, that you will  definitely be contacting me for more information and I will welcome that contact from you.  But if not, I will not bother you again.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please feel free to reply by e-mail or a phone call at your convenience.  Thank you for your time!

Hi, if you return a promo email with your own promotion, it is legally considered spam, but the big question here is the reciepient is NOT going to report you when they spammed you in the first place.
To put it in simple terms... you can only send a promo email if the reciepient requested it in the first place, if they did not, you must get a verification message off them asking you to send info.

Here's one of my postcard designs.  (Can also be used as a banner, although I'd probably make it smaller...)

(http://site-images.ws/cust/89236/postcard32.jpg)

As far as the postcard question you had in the other thread, Norma, banners like this can easily be used as postcards.  Just print them out on sticker paper and stick to 3x5 or 4x6 blank notecards.

You can also cusomize the image, and then upload it to stuff.

Like this mug.

(http://site-images.ws/cust/89236/mugfront&back.jpg)

You could put it on a mousepad, tshirt, anything.

Here's a bib I did.
(http://site-images.ws/cust/89236/bib.jpg)
(I don't want to make the img too big, but it says
"My Mom is a Dot Mom.  Is Yours?"
www.my.ws/_____

Wow Amy!!! Nice designs! I wish I was creative.

 :) Many thanks for your reply to my question Norma, I understand now the differece between ordinary Mail and Email
I like your'wink' by the way, it is real COOL
Best wishes to you and all at Forum

Bryan C

Wow, that seems cool, Logan! Beside as a GDI marketer, I'm also an Editor-in-Chief in a website. It's about my city where I live, and I planned to put my GDI banner in that web. I will display my banner later! That web is still under construction:)
Good Luck, Logan!

Thanks for your kind words, K. :)

And Thanks for posting that survey, Norma.  Interesting and informative. :)

I personally have three domain names at the moment.  I have (at least) five (that I know of) in my first level with two, and two with three.  Also, two of my blue trials this week signed up for two each.  Six are business people, but the rest are active in the opportunity, too.  I do believe in this product.  I also believe that if GDI meant for us to sell the opportunity only, there'd be no need to have a product at all -- there are plenty of MLM's that sell opportunity only.

I have made some more ads but have not had the chance to upload them, as sitebuilder was down yesterday, and today I keep getting kicked out.  But I finally made a bird one as you requested a really long time ago, Norma.   ;D

(http://site-images.ws/cust/89236/fornorma.jpg)

Usually when I design a banner or ad, I just need a slogan or tag line and I can usually work off that.

I needed a logo for my voicover site, and every place I checked into...they were doing it for $125-$175 depending on the format you wanted and if you needed a tag line. I do this for a living as well and I offer these at a discount to ALL GDI members for only $10 each, and $85 for nonmembers... it's a good enticement for new enrollies, I just opened the page last night and already have a few orders come in.

I have a few examples on my logos page... but it's easy to customize.

Hello again,
I appologise that I was not clear in my last post.
These letter's I recieve are snail mail, not email.
Sorry for the confusion.
However I don't think that it would be spam if you recieved a email from them first, they are giving you permision to contact them.  You would just have to take the approcch that you want more information on their program,  then you ask them if they would be interested in learning about another opportunity.  If they say yes, that is how you would get there permission to send them an invitation.  It seems a little time consuming but it is not spam they are giving you permission.

Thanks for the in put  one and all . e.g. Amy you have an awesome
proactive imagination Norma those statistics will be very helpful as usual
you are an inspiration. Thank you all :-*

Do you belive it is better to build a home page with the web builder and put a link on it or just use the GDI site?

Hi Donda

In my eyes, it not a matter of which is better than the other!  What you have are choices.  For example:  You could use your .WS domain name and forward it to a site of your choosing.  or Being the creative person that you are, create a website showcasing .WS or even another business or project.  The list can go on and on...it is totally your choice!

Just my little spin!  Hope that answers your question....kinda

Frank

No question - build your own and create a personal identity. This is what GDI is about.

I will be advertising in the college paper but not handing out flyers or cards at the UF. They clearly state no soliciting on campus. I am not in a hurry to sit in jail so I will try to follow their rules. Hard as it is to not go and give out business cards! They are very serious about people who don't belong there staying off the campus after all the student murders and all. We went dumpster diving one night and almost got arrested!! LOL
Deborah H ;D

Hello,

Creating your own Website will allow you to have multiple streams of income coming in. For example: Advertising Networks.

Nicole

 :) This is a great thread! Im so glad you started it.

For now i only have GDI, So im redirecting to the GDI site for now.  ::)

All my best

I think that using a personal site is best.  For prospects who don't know you personally, it makes it more personal.  For those who do know you (and don't) it demonstrates the product that is available.  Some of my prospects have been very impressed and sign on once they see what they can do with GDI's Site Builder. 

Angela

on the other hand, i must be exceptionally dumb because i found the site builder etc. to be a bit hard to understand and unweildy.
i hope i still get some hits onto the GDI site.......reading this thread has put me in doubt about that....is the GDI website good enough ?
(it certainly was for me because i signed up after being referrd to it......so i hope it works on others too)

is the GDI website used mainly by....sort of newbies and amateurs ? *shrugs*

I am going to use this ad during my Valentine's Day campaign. It will do purrrfectly well I think! I believe in Miracles!!
All my best,
Norma :o

Thank you for your 'personal touch' Posts, Norma.

The pictures of Miracle and the marketing approach add depth to our Forum.

Let's continue to work together and learn many new ways to maximize the
benefits offered by GDI, .WS and our World Forum.

Chip

Oh YEEESSSSSS!!!!! You did it!!!!!!!!  

I'm so happy and so excited!!!. Now that you've learned this, you can do everything, you'll see!

Thank you! Producing these two ads for you was great pleasure and honour for me and I hope you all like them. It also was great to teach you! And since you succeeded - I'm even happier!

Oh, it's night here and my dreams tonight will be sweeter than any night before!

And all best to Miracle!!!!

All of the banners we have to use are biz op related, so I was wondering if anyone has a 468x60 banner they use that you don't mind sharing that only promotes the hosting option.  I'm not the most creative person, so I would like to be able to use it for my site.  Thanks so much in advance.  And sorry if this is the wrong thread to put this in ... seemed the best fit to me.

Hi Norma i really like you ideas and just wish i could get things going in here cas there is alot of great ideas.I just hope i could be like most of you soon. i am just starting out and my webpage is done but not online yet and i sure look forward in the days to come when i can soak up alot of these ideas and learn to put them to work

                        Thanks
                     A Friend  ;)

Hello

Rhonda!

It's the right thread, definatelly!

Logan!

Well created, eyecatching but I don't know why we all love black so very much .... ????

Karen!

how's about your banners? I wasn't on your webpage latelly. Did you put them into use. Well I've actually thought about your banners. They don't contain GDI specific logos or pictures so I think you should use them without any aproval from the support. However I had to ask their approval for my logo as I've used their globe logo in the middle of it!

Well, it's only pure logo and not banner, add or something else so it can't be personalized!!! It's related to my username and approved from the GDI suport team.

Usernames we shouldn't put here, but since it's on my webpage and public it makes no difference.

I not long ago created this one:

(http://karenbristol.ws/violet1.gif)

which is smaller, it is 468X30 and I think it looks more elegant. I can do that or similar in any colour.

Yes, I experimented more recently, and came up with another one I thought you'd like:

(http://karenbristol.ws/Page2/lemon1.gif)

(I can't remember if I gave this one to you already or not though....and I was working on a similar one where the car drives into view first...maybe when I get more time I'll finish that one *lol*)

I use many different software programs that are very user-friendly (sometimes I find these easier than picking up a pair of scissors and scrap-booking! *lol*), and some have free trials to download. My personal favourites would have to be PaintShop Pro (from   http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/ ) and AnimationWorkshop. There are also online tutorial groups for these programs if you need any help. The new age of hobby crafts is upon us  ;)

Thank you Karen! No, you didn't give me that one, but one a little darker! They're all really good and I like them because the're not so big.

Oh, thank you for the link. I surelly will download that program as I like this new age hobbies very much. I'll almost explode from creativity, and sometimes just don't know what should I use to get the ideas to life!!!

If I'm not mistaken, then I've even got PaintShop Pro in the DigitalCamera magazine (Slovene version of it).

All the best!

Tatjana

 :)

Karen, I certainly appreciate you sharing your banners with the rest of us. They are all very good and I, for one, will be using them. You did a great job and your creativity is awesome! Please, don't stop now!! You have just wet my taste buds! I want to see more of your work!!

All my best,
Norma  :o

Thanks.

Ok, I knocked up a few more in different colours (but for some reason I couldn't upload to my webspace?  ???  ...so I had to use my webspace elsewhere. I hope it works here...)

(http://www.geocities.com/karenjbristol/blueheaven3.gif)

(http://www.geocities.com/karenjbristol/metal1.gif)

(http://www.geocities.com/karenjbristol/lime2.gif)

*lol* hmm, I'm almost bored with this design already so I might experiment again  ;D

~Karen

These are better, because it's darker at the sides and lighter at the middle, so what writs is more visible!!! My eyes are thankful for that!

Tatjana

*lol* Now all I have to do is maybe round out the ends, or do some 3D button versions ;)

~Karen

p.s. since I never got any official reply as to whether we can use our own designs, I guess this thread could be considered as on OK from TPTB? *lol*

As I've said before, I think it's OK since you don't use any of the GDI logos or something like that, so give your creativity wings and flyyyyyyyyyyyy hiiiiiiigh!!!

Tatjana

I think everyone should understand the power of marketing. We have a GREAT business here with GDI and we should tell the world about it. There are many ways to market GDI. I am going to list a few below.

Marketing with business cards is a great way to get people to your web site. Make a card that just says someting like, "Need More Income?,  Visit...."  and place your web site domain name there. You can buy cards to print on at any office supply store for only about $15 per 1000. The just print that on them using your Word Processor.

Another way to use that business card it a Snap Shot Conversation.  Here is how that goes...

YOU: "That is a really neat watch, I've always wanted one like that, where did you get it?"

PROSPECT: "Thanks, I've had it a long time, my grand dad gave it to me."

YOU: "I'll bet it means a lot to you doesn't it?"

PROSPECT: "Yes, it does."
{pause}

YOU: "So, do you live around here?"

PROSPECT: "Yes, I have lived just across town most of my life."

YOU: "Really? What do you do for a living here?"
{listen carefully for what they say}

PROSPECT: "Well, I've been in car sales for the last 10 years."
{Now, don't ask another question or say anything else. It's now the prospect's turn to ask you what you do for a living, if he doesn't just let it go.}

PROSPECT: "So, what do you do?"

YOU: "Well, do you know how a lot of people are having to work 60 or more hours each week along with nights and weekends just to get their bills paid? Well, what I do is, I teach people how to get control of their life and finances by working at home part time."
{At this point the prospect will either start asking you more questions or they will just let it die. If they don't then they are not looking for what you have to offer.}

PROSPECT: "Really, I've been thinking about starting something at home, what is your business all about?"

YOU: "Do, you have access to the Internet?"

PROSPECT: "Yes"

YOU: "Great, when you get home log onto this website and answer the questions at the start of the movie. That will allow me to know you watched the movie and setup an interview with you."
{Hand them your business card}

YOU: "I'll look forward to hearing from you tonight."

These are just a few of the methods I have used to build my past business to over $15,000 a month. And I use the to build my GDI business also.

NEVER STOP MOVING TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS!

 thanks on your info on google u say your account will get cut off if fou click onto yhe sites is this true and if so what do you mean can you enter your .ws web page

WOW, these are all great postcards and great ideas.

I was just wondering, when you market the website aspect (as opposed to the business op) do you use a different like?  I was wondering if there is a link to the place where they can just check to see if their domain name is available.  Thanks!

I would love to have a logo with the world globe and the words GDI .WS going around it. Can anyone out there make one to share with us here?  It would be great if the words would actually move around the globe. I would love to put that on my website that I am trying to build.   

Wishing you much success!
All my best,
Norma  :o

I'll see if I can assist. What I actually have to do is upload one program and then I'll play ...

Tatjana  :)

Tatjana, thank you so much for once again stepping up to the plate to assist me.  I have so many unique (at least to me) ideas just sailing around in my mind that I want to put on my website.  This is also one reason I have not tried to build my website yet. I am still collecting knowledge and skills to make it really my own. Also, I am now learning HTML codes which I find very exciting and not at all over my head like I once assumed.

I do understand that with the sitebuilder I don't really need to know the HTML codes but I have been so inspired by viewing other members websites that I just had to get some of that knowlege for myself.  Who knows, I may even go back to college for computer programming one day.  And, all this inspiration has come from all the members of this forum. 

I just have to say here how special each of you are!! 

All my best,
Norma  :o

Hi All

There is certainly no substitute for one-to-one referrals to GDI, but I began to research how to tap into the Net and reach all of the Millions who are on-line everyday.  Did you know that 67,000 new Internet accounts are opened each day?  That’s amazing!  I wanted to be able to tell all of these people about GDI.

So for some months now I’ve been using a very easy and straightforward method to Market my site to the Internet masses and I’m having fantastic success.

I use Mass Marketing tactics to drive those who are interested to my list, and then use Direct Marketing methods to only the people who want to hear about the product.  Works Wonderfully!   No Selling…I let the Movie do that for me. ;)

Step1) I use Free traffic sites to generate extreme exposure and gain tons of site hits.  I advertise my sites and contact list builders in these free traffic exchanges.  You can get all of this totally FREE. 

Step2) I then use the List Builder links (which are also free to join) and send targeted e-mails to those interested in my offer.  These sites gather targeted prospects that I refer to the GDI movie.  I’m having great results by doing this!!

Step3)  (VERY Important) I also use the Classified Ad Blaster and Tracker to send my Ad messages to about 50 Million Internet users.  I’ve tested and it really does place your ads on tons of web sites and FFA pages Automatically! Awesome way to get out the GDI message!

Step4)  (Most Important) Write killer ads!!  I check my Ad Tracking stats once a week; drop Ads that aren’t producing and add those that Will!  This sends people to me who are interested in hearing what I have to offer.  This is proving VERY successful for me.

It’s like a one-two punch.  People read my ads and want details of my offer.  People join the list builders and want details of my offer.  This is driving Customers to my doorstep like nothing I’ve ever done before!

I’ll going to be adding some free promotional tools (books, software, etc) to my site for all to use and share.  So feel free to check back often. 

If you need any details of this method, just drop me a PM and I will be glad to get back to you.

To me the Best Part is that 95% of the process is Automated and gets Awesome Results.

Best of luck to each of you.

Tim

Hi all, i was thinking with the holiday season coming, what can we do to recuit people to the GDI family. I started this post for people to post flyer, share ideas and brain storm on ways to promot GDI JUST FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON!

That's good Idea Chris! Just think what possibility to market for holidays you have. Net is huge, we have our great webpages which are also a great marketing tool. Showing the people with the product GDI is offering what you can do is the best. You, dear members, surelly have tons of ideas and I would like to see them.

Tatjana

   Hello Norma thanks  for all your warm input to the Forum you certainly do give it depth as Chip said, sorry you lost little Miracle
   
   but your lovely pictures are a fitting memorial .Love your graphics.

Just a word Jen    about your adsense account not only can you be axed if you click on your own ads.( though I do not see what is wrong with that after all we are potential customers as well and may find something on the ads to interest us.)
 But there are people
who will target your progress by sending illegal clicks to your site ( i believ eit is generated by software)and shoot down your Adsense account, for whatever  agenda Ican only guess .It happened to me and believe me Adsense are quite ruthless there is no court of appeal. you are just gone.


So take my advise check your stats every day and if you see an  over the expected number  of  clicks  generated on one day( especially if they are signifigantly in excess of anything that went before ) block that I.P. address and report it immediatley to Adsense .
Mine were over 1000 clicks and 800 both from similar I.P. addresses  on the one day in Deleware Texas. ???

I read once in one of article about internet marketing that one of the way you can marketed your business is using your email signature.

Meaning everytime you send email to people, you make sure that you put your company signature in it.

So my question, does anyone here has some email signature that can catch attention of people?

I always put my website under my name, but it seems doesn't work that well.

Regards,
Samuel

Hi Tim,
I have a couple of questions for you.
I am signed up with alot of the traffic exchanges,and yes they do send me alot of traffic.
But I really don't understand most of this list building stuff!
For example: I am a member of traffic4income, I now have a few people on my list. But they told me I am only supposed to send them email pertaining to the traffic4income. What good is that? Who is really using these email addresses then?
I would like to build a list on my site but I only know how to use the site builder and have no clue how to put a lead capture box in there.
Next question, (I am limited on funds right now) Does the Ad blaster cost anything? Do you have a link for them? Thank you.
Jennifer

My first time in the Forum. There are some really great Marketing ideas. Thanks.
Do you use your WS website for just GDI or do you use it for other business?????
I am using Safelist but my response is not too good.
Robert

Well Robert, I don't have other businesses except GDI but I surelly develpoed my website with so much pleasure and fun!!! My site is a mixture of business and personal things, charity and soul stuff - all hand in hand. Well if I would advertise more I even might have some success, but lately I don't do much advertising.

As Norma said, you can use your own domain name for so many purposes that you can hardly imagine. Put your imagination to work for you and you'll see what comes out of it ...

Many success and happy GDI-ing!!!

Have fun!

Tatjana
 :D

Hi,

I'm looking for where I can come up with some autoresponder emails or advice on making my own to put into an email campaign.  I am new to GDI and haven't received all of the test emails coming to me.  I would like to expediate my success and see if someone has the complete set I could borrow like the ones GDI sends out.  I will be using them on MLM Power.

Maybe I'm overstepping my bounds???  But I won't know unless I ask..

Mike McGhie

Love the Christmas ideas Norma ;D

Hmmm well, Norma, you've reminded me of that I will do calendar this year too, and I just know how I'll market my business with them. Do you get the idea????

Tatjana

I use ProAutoResponder

I can send you my campaign/follow up e-mails through that program if you are a member. My e-mails are obviously working, I was on top of the starter leaderboards last week.

Chad

If you see or hear of stores, plants, factories etc. going out of business. These would be excellent opportunities to hand out youd GDI cards to employees!!  ;)

God bless,

 ???

Can anybody tell me if they are having any luck with list building.
I have signed up with Midus '05 and a few others and I am having NO LUCK!
Anyone have any suggestions?

Jennifer

Yup list building works but it requires effort. :)

Chad I would be most interested to see an example please. Would you please PM me an example?

Good question, Jennifer

I think list building is very good but like you I have no luck on Midas 05. I am trying getrespone autoresponer and I will
see what happens. I am usiing both right now

Hi!  ;)

I have just recently gotten started and have had responses from only five of the 20+ people I have entered into the "invite" list. So, I started contacting people personally. The following is the email text that I send. I'll let you know what kind of response I get. In the meantime, please feel free to copy and paste the message into personal email to people you know. Let's see if the response is better!

Just ad a liitle flair to your signature.  Such as

"Watch a Free Movie... www.website.ws/username/show"  Or if you can use html in your signature, put the hyperlink inside the phrase "Watch a Free Movie (or something to that effect.)  I've also found by just writing "click here" people's curiousity takes over and they will almost always click on the link. 

To make things simpler for myself, I set domain forwarding so when people go to my .ws site  I've found that people will click on top level domains (ie, www.domain.ws) more often than subpages (ie, www.domain.ws/page1.html)  If you need help with this, a nice tutorial is available under the Affiliates section in the GDI Back Office)

Good Luck
Kurt

Can somebody provide some tips for the HOT Headline for classified ads? I meant "hot" as a killer ad that grabs people's tension.

For some reason, headlines with number figures have always attracted the best attention for me when I am advertising.

Hi, just wanted to know whether anyone has tried Google Adwords advertising linked direct to their freedom.ws, movie.ws or website.ws page? Any success anyone?

Couldn't find one I really liked, so I made my own.  Spacing and tabs are funny here, just have to highlight and copy the text, then put into Word, then it will look right!   ;D

Dear Business Owner,

Before you can start up a business - any business - customers need to be able to find you.

On the Internet, your address is your domain name. With the unparalleled growth of the Internet, dot com domain names continue to sell like hotcakes. Currently, there are more than 20 million dot com domains, and over 34 million total domains registered worldwide. Industry experts forecast that more than 500 million domains will be registered in the next ten years. In fact, reliable sources from companies like Intel are predicting that every personal computer in the future will have its own domain name.

In 1998, the dot com craze was beginning to ramp up to unbelievable proportions. So many Internet companies sprouted up in Silicon Valley, and elsewhere, that companies not swept up in the hysteria were thought to be missing out. But, while most people were focused on things like Content, Banner Ads and Bandwidth, Michael Reed and Alan Ezeir, the CEO and President respectively of Global Domains International, Inc. (GDI), recognized another opportunity that was largely ignored; they wondered, "Besides dot com, are there other extensions that businesses could use as a domain name?"
One of the most recognizable ccTLD's today is .WS with customers in over 180 countries. Global Domains International, the official registry for .WS "Web Site" domains, was just named in Inc. Magazine's "Inc 500 List for 2002": America's Fastest Growing Private Companies. GDI ranked #37 (Thirty-Seven!) out of 500 for the USA nationally, and #5 in the state of California! .WS means Web Site and with over 80% availability your customers will get an easy to remember domain name and you will finally get the name you really want!

What we offer, for an unbelievable $10 a month is (month by month billing, cancel anytime, no long term commitments!):

* Your own .WS "Website" Domain Name

* Professionally Designed Web Templates:
   The Website Builder! 2.0 is the framework for your Website. Professionally designed by
   Graphic artists, these templates give you the foundation for building your Website.
   There is no programming or complicated coding, simply follow the easy-to-use instructions to create a dynamic and     professional Website!

   You can create your site quickly, then make changes if you'd like, or you can spend    several hours creating the perfect site for you. You can view your Website before you    publish it for the world to see. You also have 24/7 access to your Website's control panel    and can make changes at any time and as often as you like! You can also view the    changes before you publish them to the world
 
* Custom Email Addresses - 10 (ten) Included per Domain:
      Check your email on the web OR Forward email to an existing account.
   
* Web Mail:
   Our Web Mail allows you to use your own domain name as your email address and you    can access your email through your account from any Internet connection in the world!

   Instead of using a long and hard to remember email address like    mwalker554878@yahoo.com, you can use Yourname@YourDomain.ws. For example you    could have Support@Joeswidgets.ws and each section in your business can use your    domain name as well such as Billing@joeswidgets.ws etc., up to 10 email addresses, and    they would all be directed to one email account!

* Email Forwarding:
   Web Mail forwarding allows you to use your domain name as your email address and    forward all of your emails to an existing account you already have. This way you can use    your easy-to-remember .WS email account to publicize your business or family site and    still receive all of your emails in your established email account.

* POP/IMAP Access:
   Access your email for any domain using your POP or IMAP compatible email program.
 
 Optional Web Services (No extra charge!)

  * URL forwarding:
     Our URL forwarding option is perfect if you already have a Website created elsewhere,    but are unable to move the existing content. Often times, your current URL is hard to    remember, unprofessional, or just plain ugly. You can use URL forwarding to route your    new .WS domain to your existing Website. When someone visits your .WS domain, they    will be automatically transported to your existing Website instantly!
       
 * Web Hosting:
       For more advanced customers, you can take advantage of our hosting service. This    allows you to build a site from scratch bypassing some of the user-friendly restrictions    built into the previously mentioned Site Builder option. This allows you to build a    custom    Website just as you want it, then upload the files to our servers. Hosting gives    you the    ultimate in flexibility!
 
 
Our services are endless, and extremely affordable, for only $10 a month.  You can try out our services, free for seven days by visiting:   http://www.yourdomain.ws today!  Questions?  Contact me, I would be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Hi,
I found the best plan for marketing I've ever seen.
We are not allowed to post urls on the forum.
So IF you are interested, email me, and I will send you the url. The best part is that it's FREE!!
GDI Rocks!! 8)
Deborah H

 :) Hi Deborah, I would like to have a copy of your plan.  Could you please send it to me at:



             Many thanks,  Kathy

I've been using HIT for list building.  It takes effort but am beginning to get some response each day.

We'll see.

Steve

hi Deborah send it to me too! I website traffic is very low, I think 1 per day or 1 per 2 day  :'( I need help

Hi Guys,

 My name is Charlotte.  I am 3 weeks into GDI.  I am really having fun with this business and enjoying it.  I have come across a really neat site that is FREE and a great way of getting traffic to ones site.  Wishing everyone the best.

Because of Christ!
Charlotte

Anyone use post cards? 

Show us one you have proven effective.

Hey Norma,
That sounds like a great idea, I'm in college so, I'll keep this forum up to date on how it's working out forme.
Hey,...    ...has anyone tried bumper stickers?

I'm new, just out of my trial period.  I don't have my website set up yet, and I thought of a new domain name that I think I like better than my original one.  I'd like your opinions on whether I should change or keep both?  Is there any advantage to having two?

DebraM

That would be up to you if you want 2 websites. Remember it is also 2 payments a month. You can especially since you wont loose any work or downline if you havnt signed anyone up yet, or started your website, just cancell the one you dont want and open a new account with the name you do want.
Deborah H :)

I have three.  One for our construction company, one for my online store, one for my other online business which also advertises GDI.

It's really up to you and what you want to do.

 ;D

i was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me to get people to join? ive got ads all over the place, links on my website  sent out emails, got flyers, bus. cards...and i havnt got anyone to join yet??

Sounds like your doing what you need to be doing...just hang in there.
I don't know how the holidays will do for this business...might be people will need money after christmas and sign up.
Thats what I am thinking anyways...I have been at a stand still lately also.
Don't get discouraged...it won't get you anywhere.

Jennifer

Why in the name of God do you always think about cancelling the acount (goes to Deborah) for purcheesing another domain. As far as I know you can run (or have as you wish) 5 domain names on one acount, without cancelling it. The monthly fee is 5 x 10 $ of course, but if you need those 5 domains, why not.

Debra so if you need two domains, you just purcheese another you like better in your existing acount, but if you need only one, then make another and delete the first, that's it. (I'm suggesting the order as I've written - first make another and then delete the first). Cancelling your acount because of the domain name would result the new acount and appearantly loosing your downlines (if you already have some) and having two acounts (what I remind you is forbidden) would result working on two sides, but sometimes it's hard to get some people as your downlines even for one acount ...

That's all I have to say here ...

I wish you'll succeede in all you do and however you'll decide!

I have been a GDI member a few weeks now.  Last night my first campaign began.  I have had over 300 hits since 3am this morning (all my time) ... I haven't had any leads yet, but it is still very early in the campaign.

I am also the owner of a traffic exchange program - I sent an e-mail to my traffic exchange team members with my link and the current campaign info.  I offered them the chance to be on my first level and the campaign enrollees will be placed below the exchange memers ... what a deal!

Thoughts?

And thank you to John for sending me the link to GDI  :D

I encourage all to Post their Holiday marketing ideas.

Chip

Give your friends and family a coupon for their own website for 3 months free and offer to help them set it up.  After 3 months they can decide to keep it or cancel.   Most people will keep it once they see what they can do with it. 

Hello.
I beginn to worked with sportsclubs and showing the possibility for income to a club with membership in GDI!!!

I have just started with this and i am going to have the dvd with me and show the what they can make of 10$ for a domlain+++++, think about this if a club have 1000 members and everybody will support theyer own club, and normal for the (sports)clubs have small money and they always looking fore new ways to get the money.

Sorry about the english ;)

I am from Norway

Anve

I'm at the top of the main leaderboards this week and I'm really happy!  ;D  :)  ;D ::)

Honestly, I attribute a lot of my success to the tips that I've found on this forum!

Lovin' GDI,
Chad

Very nice idea about the club! I think thats a fantastic idea! They could even set up a link with paypal or one of the other payment sites to collect dues!! FANTASTIC IDEA!!!

Congrats again Chad! Very nicely done.

Selling the opportinity is great for those who are looking for one.  The type of fish you are after determines the bait.
I don't feel you always have to try to sell the opportunity. Several people I know want a website and have no intererst beyond that.   But naturally when friends find something they think is great they pass it on to other friends. Friends, like themselves, that want to post family photos etc, and don't realize they can build the site themselves.
However the income opportunity will surely become obvious to some of them.

 One friend of mine will likely create a site that would get traffic that otherwise would never be looking for any opportunity, (a church newsletter) Those checking out the site for photos of the "bake sale"  will see,(and possibly consider) an opportunity they may never have seen or considered otherwise.  One of those might be the person that will turn it into a six figure income.

Also I hate spam, but just today when I was cleaning folders with spam that had been filtered out, I realized that most of these are people selling something, someone not unlike myself, trying to make some money!  Well from now on they will all get a reply, not an offer to buy but any offer to come on board with GDI. Spam may not be so bad.

The more I think about it the more Ideas I get. Its endless!

Hi, I have been a new member for a little over a month now and am just now posting to the forum after about 6 hours worth of reading much of its content.  I have had about 20 signups during this last month and 13 of them paid members.  I do not know what information or advice anybody might want to give but I will include what I THINK that I know. 
1.  Quickly determine who is going to be just a customer and who wants to work the business. 
2.  Give some type of free training or information to help them get started fast.
3.  If you are new yourself, PLEASE refer your new referrals to your upline members.  After all, it is in their best interest to help you out.
4.  Find out who your upline sponsers are and put their names in the search engines.  I have found many great tools that these leaders use to grow their business.  I personally think this information should have come from them, not by my dillegence but it still paid off.
5.  Use lead capture pages to get prospects. Use bulk emailer and buy quality OPT IN LEADS. NO SPAM TOLERATED!
6.  If done right most people who sign up don't even need to see your website.  You can use this to help your downline training or for other personal use.
7.  Personalize your banners to promote the business to niche groups of people.  If you are going to promote the hosting part of the business then send them to the hosting page.
Thats about it for now, please check out my site and let me know if it's up to GDI standards.  I use their car in the logo but it is only for promoting GDI, not other businesses.

Thanks and have a great Christmas!  None of that politically correct "Happy Holidays" stuff.

Hello
Now i am on the top of the google, alexa and many more, soon i will get very much traffic to my page.

Nice to be a member in GDI


Anve

How would you work that out with GDI as far as you paying for a month 3 months etc for someone else ?

What about this idea.  Try getting your ads placed on online malls or other high traffic sites that people go to during the holiday season.  I have done this with a few sites and you will definitely get clicks.  Try changing your ads to fit somthing that can be given as a gift.  I hope you all get the success you deserve.

Michael Ottman

Hi, I am new here and need help from all of you. I have a question, I don't know how to build a website and don't want to do that either. My purpose is to use the WS website for this GDI business only. What shall I do about that? Please give me advice.
Thanks
Eric

Hi everyone. I had a brainstorm. I wanted to pass out christmas gifts to my friends but i wanted to give them a 30 day free membership to gdi. ($10)  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this. How would i be able to pay in advance for them ?  How could i make up a gift certificate ? etc. etc.

Along with this idea, I was also hoping to have my GDI DVDS in time for Christmas so that I could hand them out also as small gifts. Does anyone have any idea when we will be receiving our pre-orders?
John Phillips

Just make up gift certificates on your computer.  When they want to use them, they need to come to you and have you help them set it up.  Put that on the certificate.  You give them the $10 to put into their account and they pay with their card for the website. 

Or you could buy prepaid debit cards for them once they redeem your gift certificates.  ;D

Hi,

I am a man on a mission...

My Mission is to HELP all Internet marketers to achieve more..


I plan to complete my mission by introducing them all to the

H-I-T Marketing System

With the right marketing System you too could become a SUCCESS.


Happy Hunting,
Matthew Green (mg247)   :)

It's really very simple and we've done this for some of our downline members without the payment method. If you have PayPal acount you can pay their membership for them. All what they need is to contact you and give you their username and password that you'll be able to set up the payment method for them as your PayPal acount. Even if they then change their password you're able to cancel paying them in your PayPal acount.

Well, all thing has a bit catch as you have to trust each other - the prospect has to trust you his username and password and you have trust him that he won't use this payment method for anything else as the monthly fee ... It worked for us so far.

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!! SO EVERYBODY PLEASE READ THIS AND TAKE A NOTE OF IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE UNNECCESSARY PROBLEMS!!!


What I've written above is 100 % true and sure, but you have to be extreamly careful with paying the fee for the other people also:

You are allowed to pay only up to 5 acounts with one PayPal acount or credit card, NOT MORE!!!! If you won't respect this rule your acount will be disabled due to abuse.

Also if we're speaking here about the GDIs invite system and invitations note this:

You only can use GDIs leads for which the invitations will be send automatically or YOU MUST KNOW THE PERSONS YOU ENTER IN PERSONALLY. Also if you don't respect this rule your acount will be disabled due to abuse. 

So that means that all the external leads you are not allowed to put into the GDIs invite system and the best solution is to subscribe to one free (or maybe even pay some monthly fee) autoresponder to send this kind of invitations.  

We expirienced the thing with paying more then 5 acounts with one PayPal acount so we know the best that this is for sure.  

Otherwise I wish to all of you a happy and most all healthy new year and HAPPY GDIing of course!!!

I personally like the debit card idea.  GDI should come out with their own debit cards that we can buy have already loaded to use specifically for GDI and nothing else.

That way the person couldn't use the Debit card for anything else but GDI

What ya'll think.

Dan Pattridge

Just thought I would share what I just came up with today... besides fliers, business cards/drop cards, you can actually create a movie pass/ticket and leave it out to the local businesses or hand them out to people maybe in the parking lot for example. Email me for any request of a sample.  I will be happy to share it with you!

Great idea! I'd like one of those!

I HAVE EMAILED 50 PEOPLE IN 2 DAYS, AND HAD 1 SIGN UP. I HAVE PUT FLYERS OUT ON HOW TO MAKE EASY MONEY BY STAYING AT HOME. AND NO ONE HAS SIGNED UP.  WHAT IS THE SECRET!!!!


  THANKS :(

Nick,

The secret to success is simple Don't quit.

Ask questions from you sponsor or upline?

Network with people who want are business and product.

Remember it takes the average business a few years to be in profit enjoy the tax savings associated while building your GDI  Business.

Howard,

You are absolutely right. ;) The key is to not give up because remember we have to work hard right now helping others get what they want so that eventually we can get  what we all are seeking for.
This is not a get rich quick scheme, you have to keep up on sending out your leads, keep posting flyers or passing out your business cards, and staying in contact with your premium leads. If you do this for a solid six months GDI guarantees you will start to reap the benefits of your reward. :o

So keep up the good work Nick and contact HowardMartell if you have any questions because he a pretty good Idea of how GDI should be run. Well that't my opinion. ;D 

Joseph*!

There is no secrets.

What there is, is simply common sense and education.

Most people, whether they admit it or not, are intimidated by the internet/computer.
They allow the intimidation to get the upper hand.  Once you reach an understanding
with your computer and the internet and then implement common sense along with
educating yourself to the unknown, you will find things will go much better for you.

Many may read what I post here, but only few if any will take heed to it.

No matter how much or how often people tell you, you must learn what your
business is 100% about, what it offers, etc,

It has always, at least in many ways, appeared to me, that people want things
handed to them on a silver platter, they want someone else to do it for them,
they want someone to give them an easy solution, point them here or there
to get signups or sales....in online business.

When people say to you, read your website, learn what GDI is all about, learn
the entire websites frontwards and backwards, learn your member area, etc...
DO IT and DO IT WITH COMMON SENSE and a NOTEPAD.

For example can you answer these questions :

-How many template designs does GDI offer their members?
-Does GDI offer hosting?
-How many pages will GDI host if they do offer hosting?
-Must you know HTML in order to have a website through GDI?
-Do you have to pay at sign up?
-What happens during the 7 day free trial?
-What are the options for making payment?
-What are the payout options?
-What are the owners names?
-What country is GDI located in?
-Is GDI an international opportunity?

Your notepaid should almost be a short jotter book that consist of
GDI questions and answers.

You should be able to answer any question and every question that
is presented to you concerning your GDI business...or any business
you are a part of, for that matter.

BUT there is much more to keeping a notepad then meets the
question/answer scenario.

When you take the TIME to create a notepad you are in reality
SAVING TIME in the long run PLUS you are puting on your
COMMON SENSE.

What you have now developed and accomplished is a complete
notepaid of your GDI business that will then and only then :

-You'll see ads in your notepaid
-You'll see ALL your TARGET MARKETS
-You'll see ideas that you never thought about before

When people say to you, learn your website inside and out, it
truly means that is your starting point to success.

The questions and answers that you have in your notepaid will
present not just solutions but various solutions.  These various
solutions are a result of an origination of problems and wants
and perhaps needs.

You will be able to define the problems and present the
solutions.  Example :

-Problem One - Most people do not know html

That is certainly a problem for people....but what people?
Is it a problem for all people?

So here is your FIRST TARGET MARKET - people that have a problem
due to wanting to know how to get a website up without learning
html. 

We then proceed onward thru our notepad reading that GDI offers
people their own dot ws domain name.  Could this be a problem for
people?  Would it be a problem for all people?  Here you have presented
another problem :

-Problem Two - Some people want a domain name but do not know
how to go about getting one.

We can use our COMMON SENSE to add to each problem more problems.

-Problem Two - Some people want a domain name but do not know
how to go about getting one.  Some people want a domain name but
do not know what name to choose.  Some people are not sure if they
want or need a domain name or not.

When we do all we can to create a notepad about our business,
writing down questions and answers, learning our GDI biz inside and
out, writing down PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS, that is when our
mind EASILY can see WHO and WHERE we can go to get signups.

If you see a newsletter that is based on dot com domain names
and that is all it is related to, would that be a good place to advertise
your GDI business?

Probably not.

Do not try to reinvent the wheel and do not try and convert people.

Instead, seek out those that have the problems that you have defined
within your notebook and then present them the solution that you
have already defined within your notebook.

Example Scenario :

*Online electronic free to subscribe business newsletter

Remember COMMON SENSE.

What sort of online business newsletter is it?
Has anyone placed a GDI ad in that newsletter?
If someone has placed a GDI ad in that newsletter, what was the ad?

It never ceases to amaze me the people that will place just any ole
ad in any ole newsletter online.  I always say, advertise every where
and any where IF you have TIME.  BUT if you don't have time then
you best put your COMMON SENSE into action.

Lets say for our scenario the newsletter is about how to be successful
in online business.

That would probably be a pretty good newsletter to place an ad.
WHY would it be?  You MUST ask yourself these COMMON SENSE
QUESTIONS and then ANSWER IT!

Well I think it would be a pretty good newsletter to place an ad
about GDI because GDI offers SOLUTIONS to people in ONLINE
BUSINESS and people that are wanting to get into ONLINE
BUSINESS and people that want to be SUCCESSFUL in ONLINE
BUSINESS.

So there we have defined what we need to do.  You see we
have not only defined that newsletter would be a good place
to enter an ad but we have also NAME our TARGET MARKET
and we KNOW EXACTLY what kind of ad we need to place in
it...don't we?  Sure we do.  How about this ad for that newsletter :

We have the SOLUTION you have been searching for.
Your online success begins with us.  You need a website. 
You need a domain name. You need an online presence. 
We help you to become successful in online business.
Simply send me an email and I will personally reply to you
with complete details. myemail@....

Take note, I do not even bother to state the GDI name
in the ad.  Take note, my ad states I have THEIR SOLUTION.
Take note, I list some things they need in order to be
successful in online business.  Take note I am saying I
will virtually take them by the hand and reply to them
personally from my own email account.

DON'T FALL for SECRETS because there is truly NONE.
What there is, is people that come to know exactly what  it is they
are promoting, use common sense and ideas they generate from their
own noggin thru the knowledge of understanding the biz they are
attempting to recruit people into.

When people enroll, you then also take them by the hand.  You
present the ideas that have worked for you.  You ask them if they
need help setting up their website.  You ask them if they need
help placing clickable links on their website.  You ask them if they
need help choosing a template design.

There are lots and lots of targeted places out there to advertise
free.  YOUR FIRST solution is to understand your GDI biz, have it all
down on paper on your desk.

DON'T let big so called gurus fool you into thinking there is some
mighty all hidden secrets that only the top doggies know.

There are lots and lots and lots of things you can do to gain
success with your GDI business.  Many of things will come to you
easily once you have compiled a notepad about your GDI biz.

Most importantly, do make sure you use a good email address
and solid contact info.  I had one fellow that recently enrolled
at my GDI site, contact me first.  He told me I was the fourth
person he had contacted about GDI and I was the only one
to respond to his questions.  He was thankful and signed up
readily.  WAS IT YOU HE CONTACTED BEFORE ME?

 
 

 
 
 

I've had my .ws website for a couple months and so far, I've done nothing.  I've ordered my business cards and they've came in.  So I'm up late/early thinking.  "I wonder what my success would be to just go to a local University and post business cards on bulliton boards?"  My thought, it's a no brainer.  University students are up on technology.  I'm thinking this would be a slam dunk.

Does anyone have any thoughs on this?

Thanks in advance.

J. Thomas Crenshaw

Under the invitation area of the members site it saise you have to personally know the prospects you are sending to. It lets you send one hundred a day, so you are not going to know everyone. If I can use the 50 leaeds or more I buy from Global then I should also be able to use qualified leads I buy from other sources on their invite site as well. I just bought 2000 leads( prospects looking for online net working oppor.) Im going to work this angle as well as my warm market and passing out global business cards. I would tend to agree that you still have to build relationships on the web as well.
email people who watched the video and keep in touch with and help your downline. I joined because this things for real and the approac with the video and other sites do all the selling. This company has got it together. I will also use their email leads as well. If it takes ayear to build a 2000 to 10000 a dollar amonth business that will keep growing, whats wrong with that!

Hello all
Happy New year

I came across a book on MLM which is free for distribution.
Anyways there are three phrases that id like to share with you all

Phrase 1:

I would like to show you something

This gives the person you are talking to the impression that you cannot simply describe the thing they have to see it

Phrase 2:

You may or may not be interested

This removes the pressure off their shoulders, people DONT like to be under pressure this knocks it off

Phrase 3:

It will take 7 minutes

This lets them know beforehand the amount of time and gets rid of excuses such as i dont have time
only seven minutes to watch the GDI presentation.

Thats it

Also id like to ask if anyone here has tried this before. (Im planning to soon)

Place an ad in your local newspaper and invite people to a seminar to watch the GDI DVD?

Im just wondering if anyone has tried this before tell me what it was like.

Thanks

And all I can say is WOW!  If any of you happened to miss Valerie's words of wisdom, scroll up and read EVERY word!

Valerie you have got a great understanding of what it takes to succeed in this or any business.  You must be a terrific sponsor!  ;)

My business partner Stephanie and I have been with GDI for over a year.  It was very slow going for us at the beginning, but this summer, we found our niche and since then our growth has been sure and steady.  What is particularly gratifying for us is that we are now seeing our downline team members enroll new members on a regular basis.  This is definitely not a get rich quick scheme; this is a business that with time, effort, and consistency, will build a steady residual income, month after month!  Take your business seriously and the rewards will come.

Here's to a prosperous 2006!

Yup I agree with Stephanie

Here are three ways I see GDI being developed by members: 1) Don't make a personalized site.  Just market (purchased leads, etc) and let the curious see the GDI ad.  2) Make a site strictly for GDI/Other and market as normal (#1).

The challenge for many of us is,  we have limited or no website skills.  The sites we do build, lack the "oomph" factor.  Tears of joy fell freely after viewing the kokomo site and moms.  It gave me hope that one day I'd have a site worthy of discussion.  But until that day.... 3) Wouldn't it be helpful, if those with the talent (or even GDI itself) put up some samples?   No, not the templates.  Some example pages that could be cut/pasted/cloned to our sites?

How could this be used? 

Example:  I'm talking to a realtor.  I ask, "Have you ever thought about having your own website?"  They answer, "Yes, all the time."  I point them to my site and tell them, "View my site examples.  You can have a site like this too."

I think "show casing" example/sample sites on our website can't hurt.  It can only help close many more sales.  Imagine site examples for: realtors, poker rooms, anyone who does fundraising:  boyscouts (note: have you looked at the Boy Scouts of America site?), soccer teams, baseball, high school debate teams, cheerleaders, etc.

You can also showcase examples of dubious or poorly designed sites for comparison. 

A picture paints a thousand words.   Let the painting (site examples) do our work for us over verbal and text sparring.  Once anyone sees these examples, they'll be more inclined to participate. 

Last note:  These examples would not have actual links or active buttons.   We don't want folks migrating off to other sites.

An advancing htlmER novice,
Leon Aldrich

Hi everyone

I hope your new year is starting with great success.  I have now been a user for something like 8 months now and I have been struggling to increase the numbers in my team.  I have got a team and I know that I can make a great success of GDI.  This is why I carry on.  Anyway, back to that headline - maximum exposure.

In order to be successful, you need to show your site and the personalised movie on the site to as many people as possible.  I have just created a new site which advertises jobs and careers, but gives GDI the most exposure as I have my GDI banner as the first thing everyone sees when they enter the site.  I know a lot of professionals in the world of the careers service being a young man in today's society.  People will apply for everything they see that they think they can do.  When they stop at the banner on the first page, they will give it a click and have a look - there's your exposure!  I can post job opportunities for free with various sites and even with the government employment site here in the UK.  As a site which advertises opportunities, I get to advertise nationwide for free.  Good eh??

With all the links on my site, I get paid for them.  I am what is known as a super affiliate by my profession.  No more sitting around the house watching the sun go from east to south to west.  Now I have the possibility of getting that city centre penthouse apartment that I've always wanted. 

All the best for 2006 to one and all!

Regards

Dave

Hello Hello,

I'm a GDI Member from Melbourne, Australia. I have been a GDi member for 1 1/2 mths and have been sending 100 emails per day...and still no sign-ups. I have been reading a lot and realise it will take time and an honest, committed effort to be successful. With so much information and tools available (marketing sites, leads companies etc) it is difficult to identify what will work and what will just be a waste of time and money.  For the time being I am concentrating my efforts on sending out emails and hopefully I can establish some sort of foundation so i can start looking at other ways to market online.  So my question today is if anyone has any good subject lines they would like to share so more people will open my emails. Currently i have been using the subject line:

 "hi >name<! I thought u might be in interested in this..? :)"

Any feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also any other hints to get me started would be fantastic!!

thanks
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Here's one I find works well.....

"Hi, Could you give me your opinion on this?"

Most people like to express their opinions....

Good Luck,

Tom

Thank's you guys for your great ideas. Us newbies appreciate it. You give me courage! Thanks! Linda R.

Hi Members:

It's about 2:50 a.m. PST on Sunday.  I was up doing some reading and watching television when this commerical came on.  It was by Don Lapre (I'm sure you heard of him) but he was promoting a network marketing business with a undeniable networking marketing business model.  If you seen the commerical you know what I'm talking about.

The reason why I'm posting this is because it interesting to see now that networking marketing is making it in to the "mainstream."  I am looking forward to when it is a custom practice, not to say that it isn't now but you know where it is advertised like anything else in the mainstream media.

Well, that's it.  Just thought I'd share that tid bit.

Success to you all,
Jason

Hi Matthew Green
                     nice sentiments and cute effect ::) just try not to get giddy right!

Hi
Was playing with numbers in Excel since my math can be a bit sus at times. How's yours?
Puzzle me this.   ???

If you recruit two active members per month for a year and they each get two active members per month. What is the amount on your cheque at the end of 12 months?

I'm a newbie and I  have four members in my first month.  Am I being too optomistic or is this realy possible. The geometric progression of numbers can be staggering.  8)

Cheers
Anne

Congratulations on your start.  Yes the numbers  can be staggering.  Continue doing what you are doing and teach your team to do the same.  YOu can find the answer to your question by putting the numbers in the earnings calculator...no sense in re-inventing the wheel...It can be found at http://www.website.ws/kvmlm2/st_calculator.dhtml  I wish you much continued success.

Frank

Thanks Frank for your encouragement.  Love the calculator.  It is a great tool.

I was trying to illustrate to those who may see it as a bit daunting to get enough people at the start that even if you can only get two serious team members a month...... by the end of a year with your team knowing that if they do the same or better the cheques will get exponentially bigger. I created a graph in excel and it goes thru the roof in the 11th and 12th month.  The message is to be consistent and patient and the payoff comes in time.
Cheers
Anne

Hi all,

I wanted to know what piece of the banner code can I change so that it opens a new window. At this stage it opens in the users current window so I loose them.

Is there a way, I'm not to technical on html, I need some guidence please.

Logan I love this banner.
I see one of them is a broken image could you perhaps share that one with this.

The GotDot1 image would be a winner on taffic exchanges.

The banners al look great im having trouble openning the ones we already have after you copy and paste  i have tried many time with no success adding them to my web   ?? Guess im doing something wrong somewhere  Roger  >:(

Did you copy the banner to your gallery?

also if you are pasting the HTML code you must click the HTML mode tab at the bottom of the editor first.

Thank.s      ROD  WE WILL  GIVE THAT A TRY  IT MAY BE WHAT I AM DOING WRONG roger

I would like a program that can be a add on to GDI that has several splash pages that are conected to a autoresponder with pre-written good letters that promote GDI. I would like a feature to import leads also.

;hi,my name is dan and i am just learning  how to use this forum .
yes ,please send me letters .
how do you share letters on the proautoresponer site? 
 :D

Hello Amy
              where are you? I see you are now using a formal website obviously one of GDI's as I have seen it around a lot and I think it is good! Can I get one and use it with my ID? :P
                                       What do you think? Hope you are still working away  with your usual procactive intent!  ::)

Hi
My name is Greg, from New Zealand and I'm another newbie. I'd like to contribute an idea that may have merit.

Many of the supermarkets around my area have public notice boards where small notices may be posted for free. They are typically stripped out every couple of weeks but can be a great ongoing source of free leads if you post to their boards regularly.If they are where you regularly shop, maintaining them is relatively easy.

Congratulations on a great forum! Good luck with your marketing :D

I was thinking of an idea that might help promote GDI in your local area. What if you went to your local church and told the pastor that you will donate $5 per person that signs up under the church. The people in the church would either tell the pastor, email, or call you and say they signed up because of the pastor then you would give $5 per person that signs up to the church. If 5 people sign up with that church you would get a $100 bonus and $25 of it would go to the church, so you get $75 profit. PLUS they are in your downline, and you are also "donating" to the church. You could order the business cards from GDI before you do this, then when everyone is leaving the church you or the pastor could hand a business card out to everyone.. The only concerns I could think of is: If you only get 4 people to sign up, you may have to put $20 out of your own pocket to the church.. But hopefully you would get 1 more person from somewhere else. The other concern is the pastor may not want to add your business to the end of the sermon. But hey, it couldnt hurt to ask, right? I hope you get the general idea of this concept. Post and tell me if someone has already tried this, or what they think of the idea. I would love to hear some feedback.

P.S. When I say sign up, I mean they have to go beyond the 7 day trial to be sure you are eligible for the bonus.

Thats a good idea. Remember the first charge has to go through. You would benefit and the church would too in this case.
You can tell them this a one time deal.

Its a offline idea. There are many business around that dosen't has a website.

You can use this idea in any concept.

Has anyone tried radio advertising? If so, were you successful?

In advertising ,I go to those who are actively looking for your business,,,in other words,do you know anyone who reads the newspaper for the ads? or watch television for the commercials?,or listen to the radio for the commercials?
I don't. I find that folks barely have enough time to glance at the headlines. Everybody knows that TV commercials are great
for taking a bathroom break and the radiiio is usually on as background accompaniment,,
I have found a very lucrative way to market any site to a paying audience AND earn a 150% guaranteed return on your
advertising expenses.
PM me and I'll provide the info,

I was messing around with photoshop, and came up with this...

If you have never used article marketing on the internet you are missing out on one of the greatest ongoing flows of traffic available.

Whilst most articles have an conversation of 1% I have written one that is converting at a much higher rate and its not even on the topic of MLM or Home business or making money - it was a review of the movie click.  With the main story of click being about making the most of your life it only takes a question of what people are doing with their own lifes to then direct them to my GDI site.

Another advantage of writing articles on a variety of topics is that once done they will keep generating traffic year after year.

Most article directories are free.

Article directories are loved by the search engines.

If your site is not index by the search engines then write a few articles, submit them to multiple directoires and they will be indexed very quickly indeed.

As the owner of an article directory I can see mine is spidered every couple of days.  That means your links will be spidered very quickly.
 

This is an email I sent to someone I know a long time ago. He and I were in the same church back then. He is very involved with a Jewish Christian church in NYC and we have recently discussed networking like this. So in this note I'm giving him a little more of the details with the links, so he can go see.

I thought it would be helpful for anyone who wants to spread the Gospel using our wonderful Website.ws business. I've not used any hyperlinks here, but where I did put them in hypertext in the email I sent I've shown them here as: <--- link to site> Otherwise (besides the <--- > stuff) this is what I sent:


Greeting with an holy kiss Jeff.

I found your site while surfing around looking at COBU related postings etc. I feel joy seeing many who were together for a long time there who are out now and getting better teaching it seems. Still it’s hard to know how all are doing. I pray for them all. I have found 94.7 FM here in the NYC area (Family Radio) to keep me close to our Lord Jesus. I do crave fellowship among brethren though.

I’ve also begun working on a networking enterprise which I feel our Lord, as creator of all things, has provided for us to make use of in order to further our work here now in line with our Great Commission.

I’m a novice at web-building and the like, but there is this company that sells domain names in an affiliate fashion, so what I pray my role in service to Him is to unite us all as the day draws near…

For any who are of even the smallest of means… i.e. can spare $10 a month (until they themselves are “in profit”) and have a bank account and the accompanying bank card (for Internet transactions) this is what I propose:

We can initially simply all join a network as Christians who declare they Read The Bible. Declare it by creating a website domain name built like this:

ReadTheBibleNetwork-OurName.ws

Very many and magnificent domain names can come along later… but as an initial united wave we can network with this, so as to build confidence and yea even truly each become zealots.

The way I’ve published my site:

ReadTheBibleNetwork-DanHall.ws

I’ve emphasized using the income that we each earn by growing our own network by inviting Bible reading Christians we know to purchase and give away free (what I call) "Handsome Bibles" to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

When we’re earning, lets say $30 a month, we can purchase and give away one or two nice quality Bibles a month.

When we’re earning, lets say $150 a month, we can purchase and give away five or ten quality Bibles a month.

As the income increases it’s faithful to use some to take care of necessary personal uses, though the emphasis should always remain to purchase and give away as many high quality Bibles as the Lord leads us to.

Now that’s just me. I feel that God is giving the world one last chance to hear His Word (the entire Word – the Bible) before that Great Day when He returns. I know living in NYC this is how I feel comfortable (and yes, still a bit in need of strength and perseverance in the Lord) to approach people and freely hand them such a nice Bible… It is however a wonderful conversation starter.

Whether they take it or refuse it I can preach the Word gently, with love and I can and do pray. This as I said is my way. If they take it and the Lord is kind toward them and He opens their eyes, Praise God. I also feel that by giving very nice whole Bibles away they will not easily simply be thrown away, if given with love. Even if the person doesn’t (God doesn’t work in their heart to draw them to Him) they will likely pass it on to someone they know, or perhaps just anyone (leave it up to God, you know?). Others can do other sorts of witnessing, blessed by the income (all that we have is God's) that we receive.

As a simple common theme however, that’s how a NETWORK grows within this website domain name business… and that’s how INCOMES increase.

Like I said, the total cost is only $10 a month. As 2 become 4, become 10, becomes 38, and becomes 100 however… (as this movie will show: MOVIE <-- linked to ticket#> (just fill out ticket to see the BUSINESS (not Biblically based stuff, just straight BUSINESS, though in the Lord I know and other true believers can know, that it is our LORD who has provided this…) business side of this in what is a 7-Minute FLASH Movie.

The movie features the name entered on the ticket. Phone is optional, but if you do include the phone, the business actually calls you with an automated call reminding you that I’m your sponsor and telling a bit more about the business. That is so cool, all (and much more) for just that one $10 a month payment.

All we really need is the domain name (no site building ourselves or anything, unless we like that stuff, the company provides super sales pages to all it’s affiliates, again, all included in the price of just $10 a month) though I have built a site to explain (as best I can – and will update it as the Lord gives me more time, knowledge and the Spirit to do so) in fewer words what I’m trying to lay out before you here Jeff.

The routine for growing the network could be as simple as once we’ve got our site, then just telling our contacts to go to it, fill out the ticket, watch the movie (for how the network grows), click on SIGN UP NOW FREE, fill out the form…

Now, there are only two things to consider if we’re looking at building an enormous network: 1). UserName 2). DomainName

1). I simply used my name as danhall (I can type DanHall but it really records it all in lowercase, but if I use it in a link I can write it lots of different ways, so it doesn’t really matter all that much. It has to be unique (the only one among all who already have usernames in GDI. If “danhall” was already taken I may have tried “danielhall” or really anything I like. This name is used however in the various pages the company provides us, such as:

freedom.ws/danhall

website.ws/danhall

my.ws/danhall

As well as others. So it’s up to individuals what they want there. If there’s a thousand danhall guys out there eventually who insist to themselves that has to be there somewhere, they can do danhall-1 or danhall-2, ah, but I’m going on when I don’t have to. Sorry. Most people understand this already.

2). ReadTheBibleNetwork-OurName.ws (the .ws is automatically placed as everyone will see as they fill out the form. That’s the only top level domain this company sells. They have certain exclusive rights about it legally. They got it from a country that had it or I should say there’s an agreement between them and the country… (the country loved the idea) because they are marketing personal WebSites .ws fits, you see?

I’m not talking about making mega bucks for filthy lucre’s sake. In my site (where I explain as I mentioned) which is:

www.ReadTheBibleNetwork-DanHall.ws

we know that maintaining Good Works… it’s not just spiritual. I know there are great Bible Studies that can be brought into this, that God uses us in the physical to declare the Good News, and yes, we may have to suffer, no matter what it takes, get the Gospel out… this is here however and we (here physically) can and faithfully should capitalize on it.

The reason I put –OurName at the end of the example domain name of ReadTheBibleNetwork-OurName is because that’s what can grow, and grow and grow among unlimited individuals, yet carry the main emphasis of Read The Bible. It also relays that we’re building a NETWORK (we could say FELLOWSHIP) and we’ll all be connected through this. Millions of us!

There’s a whole “Leaderboard” page in the “back-office” of this business which we all have and there it shows who sold the most WebSite domain names each week, month, and the bonuses they received etc. and to me as I see those in our NETWORK listed up there… it reflects on the power God has given them to spread the Gospel.

2). Still talking about the domain names themselves. As I mentioned the initial thing we do is (abbreviated) RTBN-OurName.ws and then… as our networks are growing, income is growing, we’re doing things as I suggested (Handsome Bibles given freely) or other things, then it’s time to hire webmasters to build sites which show what we’re each doing. Everything is more than paying for itself. Whether we feed the hungry, heal the sick, visit prisoners, clothe the naked, all the while giving away free handsome Bibles, we can display this on our sites with wholesome stories again magnifying God in all we're doing.

The number of “ReadTheBibleNetwork” sites that come up in Google or Yahoo or AOL or MSN or whole bunches of search engines grows and grows as well. I just did one and I’m there and 13 (a very powerful number in the Biblical sense) total sites show me. We can multiply this into the hundreds of thousands and yes, even millions, likely in a year or two if we put some OOMPH behind this.

There will come a time when we can email those who are reluctant with the link to the search that show those numbers increasing more and more and more, day by day. This itself being a great witness as to how God is working among us to spread the Gospel big time, one last time before He comes to judge the world, with the emphasis on reading His glorious Word which is how people are saved, which is what this is all about. Excuse me for getting a bit excited.

Furthermore, there’s no reason not to branch off and create and develop networks around other domain names. Each individual can create a “Theme in Biblical Terms” which magnifies God. Wave after wave can be produced such as:

JesusSaves-OurName.ws

OurName-SavedbyGrace.ws

GodisLove-OurName.ws

OurName-ThankYouJesus.ws

Tons of other God glorifying domain names we can come up with. As each is moved to do so, once they have the gist of all this down because initially we've used:

ReadTheBibleNetwork-OurName.ws

This is how we all start off. It’s a training network. It’s so easy, it can build so fast.., and lots and lots of God glorifying domain names which the saints will build and network around will inundate the WWW.

All this is yet another witness and a warning of His coming as we are commanded to so warn the nations, with love, in the Lord, just prior to His coming.

It builds faster and faster as the few who come in invite others. It’s slow at first. Yet with each of us simply – getting ours first, then simply inviting a few others to go to our site. They do likewise too, simply getting their site and inviting a few others to go to their site. Then they do likewise and so on…

It builds a momentum, and an enormous volume. It gets bigger and faster… and the company is prepared for it. I receive the newsletter which the company puts out. 50% of the revenue IN goes OUT to the affiliates. (Just to make another point).

Remember how AOL had a big problem because it got overloaded with too many customers for their equipment to handle? This company is already prepared to handle explosive growth. They’ve broken records in growth. In just the first two months (just over six years ago, they took in 60,000 customers. They went over 120 thousand a year later. They are nearing 200 thousand now and they are setting their sights on millions, just as any company would. I have to believe it is our LORD who knows this… He has set this all up for His sake. Praise be to God.

Jeff the above with just a little editing is what I’ll be sending out in forums and other places, emails to people I know too. It’s in the slow stage right now. I was elated to make contact with you, one whom I believe was with COBU (I don’t know how long you were there) but I am in hope that you do have some of them as well as other people you can share this with. Use it as an outline and edit it to suit your tastes once you have your site.

Come through my site:

www.ReadTheBibleNetwork-DanHall.ws

Review that (I’m sure I will be improving on it in time) but do go to the 7-Minute FLASH Movie, thinking to do God’s work… rather than the worldly focus the movie has… it’s good to watch in order to get a better understanding of various aspects of how and what it all is…

In the link to the movie on my site I put “Christian” as the first name and “Prosperity” as the last name embedded in the link so it automatically uses that.

The movie features “Christian Prosperity.” You can go HERE <-- linked to ticket#> and fill out the ticket yourself and it will use your name, you can just watch it again there. Believe me it is nice to see Our Name in lights, though in the Lord, which I’ve already mentioned we true believers can know it that way.

Do also create your:

ReadTheBibleNetwork-Jefflkjulkjlkj.ws

domain name. I gather you can use jefferyburnstein as your username, which is nice if you like the idea of being able to tell people to visit

http://www.freedom.ws/jefflkjlkjlkj#ticket

You can see if you click on that it goes to yet another site the company gives us all and your username (because it was in the link there) is put in the “Enter Access Code:” field on the site automatically. You can replace that with danhall to get on track. Once you create an account then (if you use that as your username) you will have gone to the ticket like it does for my same link (with my username. It just proves that particular username is not in use by anyone as yet, otherwise it would have went to that person’s page as the one below goes to mine)

http://www.freedom.ws/danhall#ticket

It’s not rocket science Jeff.

Once you create your domain name, unless you change the default, it automatically sets your domain name to go to, I believe this page (link below, or perhaps it changes randomly among several pages the company provides) but as an example your full domain name will default to something like this www.website.ws/danhall

You don’t have to tell anyone about it for 7 full days. You can check out all the things I’m saying here, and in the back office you’ll have, and however deep you want to go into the inner workings of it, until you’re comfortable with telling anyone about it. You can cancel on day 7 (or before) and your account will be closed and no charge will come to you.

Here’s the cancelling procedure right from the back office FAQ area:

How can I cancel my account in full?
For security purposes, all cancellations must be completed by telephone; no exceptions. Please call us at (1) 760-602-3000 ext. 5804 M-F 8-5 Pacific Time, and we will be happy to assist you. Alternate methods of cancellation will not be accepted.

I know I’ve said a lot.

I know I’m earnestly praying a lot.

That we can unite many former COBU whom I love, to join together like this, with zeal and… as in:

Matthew 24:27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

So we (and as many as the Lord call) reunite to the glory of God in this manner, worldwide.

Man, I should play around with my photo-shop a bunch more.

Sense Im new here I did have an idea that may not have been add then again it might have been

But none the less I remember reading a post of someone here about reaching outside their city or even a country and

I came up with a solution to this that will work for everyone in GDI.

A point to be made here is if your helping your team build their team then you are working in one common goal?

Correct?

Ok to reach other states or cities in your country why not trade business cards with members of your team to help

expand each other.  Im going to put this in action as well and when they pay a bill or go shopping they can drop them

in a shirt pocket on the $3 rack or in a cd case or pants and so on as I picked up from here which is really unique to me

but trading business cards will put a different spin on it and expand everyones downline agreed?

just thought I would help! Hope this Idea works.

Good ideas. Many thanks. Right now I send out a flyer to popular known businesses in my area with 5 to 10 business cards included in each flyer.

You Must Employ A System! Use Technology To Become A Recruiting Powerhouse...

I recently employed a SYSTEM which will generate leads for me which are the highest quality. The auto-responder will follow up for at least a year which is good because GDI follows up only 7 times which I believe is not enough time. It is proven most people do not even sign-up for at least six weeks! The SYSTEM also has some of the most beautiful FLASH presentations as well as LANDING PAGES that work on an EMOTIONAL level which by the way is the way most people respond. I can also offer my visitors a FREE NEWSLETTER which gives them great tips for building your GDI business! After all isn't that what we are here for? I do not know about you but I want to make a career out of GDI...

I will keep you posted...See you at the top!

Brad Kamanski    :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o

I just wanted to share one thing i do when i show someone the dvd...In a physical world, many of the people you know or are promoting to will be sceptical about the opportunity confusing it with illegal pyramid schemes.
If you as an individual personally do not face it, maybe one of your team will! What i have done to counteract this scepticism is print out independant articles from the internet that explain network marketing, mlm and the difference between them and pyramid schemes.
I always tell people i understand their scepticism and i was the same which is why i did my research and found X amount of articles that describe it as (while showing the articles) "the franchising revolution of the 21st centuty" etc etc.

One thing i have also done is create a website that can educate my guys about network marketing and help them counteract scepticism.

Obviously this relates more to the physical aspect of network marketing but I have found that this was the biggest drawback with my friends and family who are the people you would want on board the most!
I hope you will find this is a helpful tip and can use it to build a succesful future!
To your financial future,

This is all fine...   but the best way to handle these people is DO IT and NEVER quit. Become successful yourself.

I would not waste time and energy on trying to CONVINCE people... No matter who they are. Take it away from them and Move on.

Cheers

Hi folks,

this is my second day at GDI and already I have come upon what I believe to be an excellent way to recruit people...after reading comments in the forum.

You can, invite folks to your home, log on to GDI, open up the forum section and show them some of the great ideas from other affiliates, on the endless possibities and usagees of GDI.

I think this method would convince many skeptics and help to increase your downline.


Patrick

I was reading the GDI made easy page yesterday and email proposals caught my eye and I read
thru all of them and decided to write my own after reviewing those on the GDI made easy site.
Below is what i came up with. Any feed back would be gratefully appreciated.
     (the first line refers to the GDI email address that the recipient will see (your .ws email address))

 :) Take a look up thare at my e-mail address its unique isnt it?
Would you like to have an e-mail address or any other website
with your own specific personal uniqueness? Perhaps Your own
Damain Name? EXample: David@Wilson.__ or http://wilson.__/wilson
 My name is David Wilson Jr. You're  recieving this message
from me personally (1.) because you're Friends or (2.) because
you're family. This buisness that im in is not MLM or Network
marketing. This buisness that im in is not even chain letters.
Although it would seem so. Just Remember it is not. This is
a cleaner mail letter, which means one thing: and that is to
send all my friends and family the invitation first thing.
 That being said we'll move on. I first want to invite you
into an opportunity to earn an income hence:(doing what it
is that im am now doing) While we sleep, play, ride horses,
and/or any other hobby or event that is taking place in our
lives at the spur of the moment. Get it! Earn an income While
we are sleeping!
 Now in my initial invitation letter I send a Cleaner E-mail
Letter. And that means that "this correspondence is not an
auto-responder" Importantly this is the only time that I
will type this message and send it to my Friends and/or
Family PERIOD. And that also means that you wont need to send
any technically difficult "opt-out" e-mail to be opted-out of
a program that you dont want to be in.
 Point Two: If you dont want to be part of this opportunity to
earn a substantial amount of income "For Life" I repeat "For Life"
Then you dont have to do anything but just delete this message
from you email inbox and I'll never contact you again; Execept
for personal matters and Friends and Family get-togethers and
stuff. You know! hill-billy stuff
 My personal feelings about this program is really strong. It is
all I am going to hint to you about the program. But if you feel
a strong need to be involved then I will set you up! I will Hook
You Up, Friend. I'm so Excited that I got involved; it's
contagious. I started in Jan. 2007 and i'm still new to the scene
"its contagious" i'm always learning in a user-friendly invironment.

This program has a great user-friendly dash-board and the back-office

is loaded with secrets from people who are genuinely availible to
help you, As well as a very large library of tools to help you along
the way. Any time you need help,just Instant message them (or Me) and

you'll get a quick and prompt response.
 Lastly, I will be your personal sponsor and mentor, I'm there
in a pinch, and I'm just a phone call away.
 Remember: If you want to be involved Hit your Reply button saying
"Let me in, David before I stay broke all my life" and I'll set you
Up! I will Hook You Up, Friend PERIOD!
 If You Decide to stay broke all your life and not earn an "Income
For Life" then: do nothing and i will not contact you ever again
about this buisness. Although that doesnt cut our ties as Family or
Friendship. Thank you for your time.
                   You can have everything you want
                   in life as long as you help enough
                   other people get what they want ;)

Hi Dennis.   
Sometimes  I use something like ' David Wilson here can I show you my presentation? '       and leave at that.
I show that tho to friends and family someone who already knows your sense of humor  antics. I have thought of any on a professional / buisness level tho. In fact if  you have any subject tags  of a  professional/buisness level would you be kind enuff to share them with me?

1. Laziness. Expect recruits only when you share it to others. How would others know that you have this excellent opportunity unless you tell them?

2. Excuses. You know what potential this business has but you find other things to do.

3.  Procrastination. If you won't share this today, when? If not here, where? If not you, who?


Your GDI business won't grow unless you grow first as its owner.

I am planning to open up a booth at this years fair... Along with the stuff I am going to sell, I was wondering if I should dediacte a portion of the space to GDI. If I could somehow get internet at the fair, I could show off the 7-minute video. Do you think this will work? If not please explain why. Other suggestions would be appreciated. P.S. If they buy a glow stick, I can throw in a GDI card.

Hello Brandon,

I think that is a great idea for the fair.  But instead of getting internet to fair, why not just use one of the cds available?  Good Luck in your venture!!

Pam

Reading and listening Jim Rohn as well as a variety of other networkers I think first & foremost marketing comes from the self. For things to change we need to change. I read most nights as well as listen to cds in the car, it has been said that a couple of hours a day listening to this sort of information for a year will be enough information as a three year degree course. If I can recommend an extremely good book store regarding our line of work Knowledge is King  and how true is that statement.
Your thoughts and reviews regarding any good reading/listening material would be very greatful. It would be good to hear what helps.

I just got done watching the dvd The Secret...and read the book. I think it's a frame of mind as well as knowledge. :)

Kathy

I also watched the movie the Secret very good movie. I think it is very true mind set along with feeling behind it works very well. ;D ;D ;D
I know people can be very successful at this business
Cheryl

 ::) Hi, yeah just wanted to say I've placed cards in phone booths too, I've also left some at the local library.
Main problem in the UK is that people are quite cynical when it comes promoting anything - My main job takes me travelling around the world, so I leave my GDI business cards at business fuctions and seminars in hotels. I also place them in airport restaurants and I hand them to cabbies.

hello everyone,
i am looking for help. i have been a member almost a month, i have had over 1000 hits with no sing ups or sales. i understand that there are other landing pages. if that is correct were can i find them? also need advice for sales.do the dvd work who do you give them to,what are the news papers are they online or are they hard copy and if they are what do you do with them. i am getting frustrated and need a pep talk. i just retired from the fire department after 25 years due to medical condition and want to make a living at home.
thanks for the help,
dmiller

MillerD,    :)

First the PEP talk... :)

Retired from the department after 25 years? I have been jumping from program to program for 28 years... :(  In those 28 years I have learned that #1. (in my case), family and friends walk away, laugh and say "don't waste your money". #2. Patience...there really is no "get rich over night" business. #3. Focus on one business...and "visualize" your future...2, 3, years down the road. If you can't see your future in your mind...I am a believer in putting it on paper...whether writing your goals out and taping them up in places that you will see them everyday, (two places for me are the bathroom mirror...and the refrigerator.  :-[ ) Get rid of all "negative" thoughts starting when you wake up...I have a picture of my granddaughter I see every morning...I start my day off laughing...lol...

I have been with GDI for just over a year. "I" decided to sit back and learn as much as I could, put together my strategy of how I wanted to go about this...being from a town of "nay" sayers and not really wanting to put out a lot of money over the $10.00 per month for my website as I would really like to show people that you really don't need to. Still working on my plan but I am very excited for Spring, Summer and Fall !!! :)

Brandon has a GREAT idea...he has a booth at the Fair. The upcoming months are my favorite activities...rummage sales, Flea markets and Craft Fairs. Either "swap" business cards...or leave a business card on the table. My expense will mostly be on foot or my gas (but I would be going anyway...lol) and my business card that I make myself. I will be leaving flyers at grocery stores, gas stations, internet cafe's...anywhere there is a bulletin board.

Not sure if these are the "landing" pages you want but I will list them anyway...

You will need to replace "username" with YOUR ID.

Hang in there !!!...YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE !!! :)

Hello MillerD ,

wow , you have had over 1000 hits .

can I ask how you generated those hits ?

another newbie like yourself,

Regards

Alan

Can any of the weekly top recruiters please post a detailed description on how they get so many signups. Everyone keeps giving me the same crappy advice while the real movers and shakers are keeping the secrets to themselves. Can someone who has gotten real results please be kind enough to share with me exactly what works.
         
                Thank You, Kevin d1

Hi GDI Colleagues,

Here's an article I like to share with my downline that really simplifies recruiting.
Some get too caught up in thinking about how many people they have to recruit
to make money with $1 a person. This they can relate to. I think it helps to put
things in perspective. I hope you enjoy it.

THE POWER OF ONE

Recruit One Person Per Month


You can be wildly successful by recruiting one person per month into your network organization! Your objective should be to recruit one new member per month. Just one! One that is also ready, willing and able to recruit just one new member each month. This is the power of one!!!

It is very simple, but very powerful. All you have to do is use your ability, attitude, and attendance to be successful. Your ability is whatever is comfortable and works for you. That could be face to face discussions, telephone calls, emails, or direct mail to potential members. Your attitude is all-powerful. It decides whether you will be successful. If your attitude is negative, give yourself a checkup from the neck up. If it isn't positive, you will fail. Don't even try network marketing. Sit back and watch the rest of us succeed. Your attendance is the final factor that will decide whether you succeed or fail. Put in whatever time and effort it takes to achieve your monthly objective of just one new member. Do enough of whatever it takes to succeed. Never give up or give in to failure. Operate by the motto,
"It will be, because it is up to me. I make it happen."
 Empower yourself the right to succeed and it will happen.

This simple method creates a powerful doubling effect. If you could double your results every month, you could become very wealthy in two years or less. The people you recruit would also become very wealthy.

 Pay attention and see how it works. You can do it. You start out by yourself. Then you recruit one person in each month. You share this idea of just recruiting one person per month with them. They see the power of it and they do the same thing....Recruit One Person Per Month.

Here's how it works: "The Awesome Power Of One"

                        You                  They

DID YOU GET YOUR ONE NEW MEMBER THIS MONTH

Hi Sheryl,

Thanks for sharing that, it's really a great idea.
Just imagine if we could sign up 2 instead of 1 per month, I would reach the 4,096  level in less then 6 months! :D

Melissa

If you didn't get your one this month... FIRE YOURSELF

But remember to REHIRE yourself - show up early and stay late!


Cheers

A great way to help your team is to use a url rotator.  This is what I do.  I create a rotator link, then add my active members url into it.  Then I advertise the rotator link.  When someone clicks on the link, one of my team members websites will show up.  I have added my link to the rotator as well.  This way, my team members get some new members as well from my advertising efforts.  Either way, you still make money.  My members stay happy, will stay in the business longer.  It's a win / win situation.  I use the rotator link in 90% of my advertising.  My website links are all in a rotator, all my autoresponder letters have links that are in a rotator as well.  So when someone signs up to one of my lead capture pages and reads my letters from my auto responder, my team gets more chances for sign ups. 

In my autoresponder letters I mention the fact that I do this, and tell the reader that I will add them to my url rotator when they become a GDI member.  I get a better response rate for sign ups this way.

My url rotator service is listed on my training site.  You'll see it in my sig file or profile.  There is a monthly charge for it, $10 per month.  But there are lots of other tools there as well. You can buil a downline with the company as well and profit from promoting their services.

Hello sheryl,
I appreciate your one per month magic.
If we follow all the same it is not so difficult to get our target.

=> THE E-LIST

Once your prospects have gotten to know you through your
entire series of pre-written (but valuable)
communications...after you`ve built trust in the relationship
and gradually exposed consumers to the benefits of your
product or service...you can "graduate" them into your "real
time" ezine list.

Obviously, you can`t include a time-dependent message in
your pre-written letter series.  People are opting in to
your list 365 days a year and you can`t risk that they`ll
receive a "Season`s Greetings" message in the middle of
June.

BUT, when you`ve exhausted the appeal of your letter series,
the people on your email list can become your ezine list.
Then you can send a Valentine`s message in February, a
"Happy Birthday, America" message in July, etc.

=> TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU

You can influence people when they know you, like you, and
trust you.  Ongoing timely communications means you can
continue to build rapport with the people on your list, and
you can be sure that if they TRUST you, they`ll be open to
BUYING from you.

Okay, I`ll admit that this message wasn`t purely a study
break.  It may be the most valuable lesson you`ve learned
yet!

Sincerely,

I got 1000 GDI flyers very well designed with ideas from fellow affiliates , distributed them in malls, even hired help to give them out, place in shop racks and many more but i have yet gotten any prospect from that. I tried with four hundred first Friends help me know why i did not make any progress. What is the best way to get the flyers out there. I will value your advice and try that with the remaining 600!!!

Steve

Steve...

Just a partial list...Internet Cafe's, Library (Business section, Ladies section and by the Computers)...College kids, Laundry mats, Grocery/Gas Station Bulletin boards, "Junk" mail...return it in the postage "free" reply envelope, Businesses that are looking for  a low cost website, Day Cares, Doctor/Dentist office...leave inside the magazines, introduce it to local non-profits.

I am sure there are many more once a person gets to thinking. :)

Kathy

Thanks Cathy for the ideas.

One other thing i have realised is that one language(the message) for the flyers and letters is generally not appealling to all regions. What can be catchy to an american is not as so to a russian, chinese or south african , smell the the air and adapt to that, that was the one reason i failed, i did some adjustments and i have started getting some prospects, 7 in the last 2 days!!! what do you think buddies?!

Stevanov

It has been become very simple for me to prospect and it has been working. The bottom line is that if you can sign up 10 people and convince them to sign up 10 people and teach them that they must teach 10 people to sign up 10 people and teach them that they must sign up 10 people and so on.... Everyone could have an earning potential of over 100,000 Dollars per month. I think I will call it my 10 by 10 club. Of course the key is that you must find real go getters and that does take some time. So it's important for me to prospect everyone. Who knows, my mailman or garbageman could end up being a great business partner. I love using internet services like myspace and yahoo 360 to get the message out. But more than that I love to talk to people. Really find out what thier dreams are and how I can help them come true. When I find interesting articles I make sure that I send them to my downline to help them stay motivated. It all seems pretty easy. I just keep going at it an hour or two a day and I don't pay too much attention to the money I am earning....Only my long term goal of reaching 10 by 10. Billy  :)

"If I had to do it all over again, rather than build an old style type of business, I would have started building a network marketing business."
Quote by Robert T. Kiyosaki

Google Maps is quickly becoming the leader in local search. In fact, MILLIONS of people are now using Google Maps daily.

If you've never tried this great resource, head over to http://maps.google.com/ and take it for a spin. Not only can you enter an address anywhere in the world, you can also click the "find a business" tab and find any business based on keyword, in any location worldwide. (Good for joint venture partners and link partners)

Again, millions of people search Google Maps every day. So exactly how do you get your share of customers from this fast-rising trend?

Simple... A free listing on Google Maps makes it easy for these eager customers to find your business. Google Maps even makes it simple for you to offer coupons. Your new customers simply print the coupon and bring to your shop if you have a physical business. Google Maps is easy to use and best of all, it is 100% free.

But what if you are just one person, sitting in your home office and doing business online? Not to worry, you can use your Google Maps listing to point local searchers to your website. To grab your free listing on Google Maps, go to: http://www.google.com/local/add/businessCenter

The benefits to you include a direct link into your site from Google. How much better can that be?

Dear Mr.Brad Kamanski,

While thanking you for sharing the info which is working for you, I have a few questions.
Please do reply me at your convenience.

You have posted about employing a system, which is an autoresponder which follows
up your prospects with prewritten followup letters specifically designed for GDI.

I would like to know about the system and monthly cost for using their services.

I am already using another autoresponder by paying a monthly fees. Please let
me know, is there any way of getting the series of followup letters, ofcourse by paying
a fees,and not joining their services or it is exclusively for their members.

However,if itis exclusively for their members, I am ready to join under you. You
can send the link via PM.

Sorry, I had forgotten to introduce myself. However,better late than  never.

I am Prasanna from India, I am in GDI for six months with no results. However I am
actively leraning things for about a month now.


Friendly yours.

Prasanna
athreyas3006.ws

Hi Prasana,

There is a email marketing program dedicated to the promotion of GDI, membership includes automatic followup with your GDI prospects using a series of prewritten emails promoting your GDI site. I have also compiled some followup emails used by other GDI teams as well as for other home businesses.
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, if so, please send me a private message and I will give you the links.

Cheers  :D

"The money is in the list". This statement gets old and worthless if you

a) Don't know what you're doing and list is just a bunch of email addresses you buy for pennies a piece.
b) You don't care who's in the list and you just get a kick of you send out thousands of emails at once. Some may call this SPAM.
c) You send a sales pitch every day
d) You do all of the above

My experience; build your list the old fashion way. Give away something valuable and collect the email address in return. Double or triple optin is standard. I took me a couple of years to build a list of several thousand subscribers, but they really want to hear from me. I do not sell all the time. I inform my subscribers and occasionally I put in a sales pitch.

Let's hear who you build your list. However, the money is in the list, period.

Take care,
Peter

I've finally learned Google adwords and tweeked my ads to get the best click through ratio.   These get loaded into an auto-responder and the rest is history.  Decent signup rate too.   The only downside is I can barely afford the $5 budget I've set for myself currently.  Google suggests that due to my CTR that I should change my daily budget to $27.  Way too much for me right now, but in the future.......

Best regards,  Michael

 I like the second landing page how come when I try to place the hot mail code into my web page it wont show anything? Can yo give some advice to linking those pages together to the other pages.

Hi melissa,

I appreciate very much if you could share what you have for the promotion of GDI. Thanks

King Ling

I have been in GDI for around 5 or 6 weeeks now and doing pretty good using 3in7. I want to

use the online videos for some of my advertising , but don't know how to get the correct file

formats to the videos. Can someone tell me how i go about getting the correct file formats for

the GDI online videos so i can use them to advertise?

If you think about it that isnt true because its not following the fact the you can only go as far as lvl 5.

Hello all.

This is my first post.  Am happy to be a part of the organization.   My question has to do with locating  one of the GDI ad pages.  I saw it in a  traffic

exchange.  Can anyone lead me toward finding the GDI ad that has the balloons on it..?   Also, does anyone know ,  is this 1   quick loading..?

Thanks

Jalynn
 

Hello Jalynn

Here it is

http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=1

Hello all,  I am very new to GDI and need some help getting my team off the ground.  Does anyone have an e-mail layout or text that worked particulary well during a campaign?  I am looking for any suggestions and am always willing to learn.

Thanks,

James

SergeB

Thanks for that LINK! I am still new and struggling and I had not seen that one before and I love it! Any more suggestions or other links that we might not have come acroos, if people could post them, that would be helpful to those of us that are new.

Thanks!
Laura

Giving something away free is always an attention getter.  Getting a name and email address at least is important.  There are free ebooks you can give away.  Some of these are brandable...you can put a link to your website in them.  You can give away free advertising.  I provide all my downline members with the link to a free advertising program that includes GDI recruiting and followup.

Best of luck.

Don

Hi Alex here
I have a question for all the hitters. All the people with 100s of sign ups. I and I'm sure many others are struggling to stay alive in GDI.
I would like to know where you folks are advertising and what you are saying in your ads. What's the big secret to getting the sign ups.
A simple question not too hard to answer. Searches don't seem to tell me anything. Maybe I'm not putting in the right words. So how about a little help.
To your success
Alex

Yep its true...

Most pay per unique visitor sites do not work for any type of site period.
Doesnt matter if its a referral program or just a general website.
In fact with most of these sites the "Visitor never even sees the site"

Now this does not hold true for all of them, but what I am saying is don't sink all your
money in to one. If anything buy small groups of traffic on many sites and not just one.

So if the "visitor" does not see my site then why does it show up on a unique visitor?
Its actauly a very simple yet invisible script that sends the persons data to your server.
This is why it shows up as unique. They create "free adult sites" Where they put galleries on
High hitting sites like thehun doing this they recieve about 300 000 visits a day to one site. Then they replicate the code for every image that is opened
so if they have 300 000 people visit and 10 images are clicked that 1 person now turns in to 10.
so 10x 300 000 = 3 000 000 a day. They just add the script fires the info to a forwarding script that is hooked up to a counter set to turn off
at what ever your set limit is. Also forwards with out being traced so you can never prove they didnt give you that "visit"

So becareful when paying for clicks!

I hope this has informed some of you of the dangers of these programs.

Cheers

J Holt

Sorry not pay perclick but buy visitor programs

So far my best low tech marketing has been small ads in free to read news papers. ie: the orlando post. I wish there was a better way to get new sign ups without talking to anyone!

On line marketing is vary effective if you know what your doing. I'm not vary good at it. In the last five months all I ever got from my on line efforts was one new sign up who is now no longer with me. Everybody has the aswer for a price and a long term agreement. Some of those suck just as well. They are as hard as doing it yourself! HELP!!! 

May I suggest that you get out of the "without talking to anyone" mode. 

At some point, you have to communicate with people.  If you are not willing to do that, you will not be
successful.

Talking to people is work, but that is why it is called "working from home."

Does anyone have any higher QUALITY banners that we can use that have been approve? I'm sorry but GDI" selection is very poor quality and are cheap looking. Any one who spends any time surfing the Traffic exchanges knows exactly what I mean. Sorry I really love my website but your advertising banners leave a lot to be desired. ::)

Hi William,

There are places that you can make your own banners.  I am not sure if they are approved or not but they are free.  However, you will have to adjust some of the html format so that it works with your GDI link or whatever link you choose to use.  I have used the following link to create several banners for different things.  Hope this helps.  Take care.

Joined awhile back and sat back...Now I am ready. Looks like some things have been added and changed?? I would greatly appreciate ANY and ALL tips, advice, and marketing on building , growing, and maintaining a solid group. Also, what is the best and most efficient way to get completely up to speed on all the benefits and features of GDI?

Prosperity and Abundance!

I would just like to say that  Building relationships is key to being successful with your GDI business

I'm not the best with words but it's important to get the information to people the best i can..

I am beginning to have alot of success Blogging.. This takes time but thats ok GDI will be around along  long time and so will I  ;D

Hi Alex,

Here is what I do and its proven to be very effective: I advertise my lead capture pages
where I give people something of value for free. I advertise these pages on free
traffic exchanges and free safe lists. This way I generate leads who receive my
follow up messages until they sign up GDI or opt out.
I have a very responsive list of about 1600 contacts, and I keep
generating leads every day.

Hope this helps,
Sanjinka

Can you please explain that in more detail.  I want to know how you again keep generating leads.

Hi William,

Just wanted to update on the link I gave you before.  Since my posting here, the banners I made using this site have failed.  I appologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.  I will keep looking.  Take care.

Paula

As I look at posts on this forum and at the websites in use by my downline, I am struck by one obvious fact.  Many people are simply pushing the business opportuniity, trying to get others to sign up for GDI in hopes that THOSE people will, in turn, push the business opportunity to others.

What so many people forget in their quest to "grow their downline" is that they actually have a real, genuine product to sell.  Many of the people they recruit who simply want to make money will fall by the wayside, but the people who actually have use for the GDI domain name they buy will not only probably stay as customers for a while, creating residual income, but, as satisfied customers themselves, will be in an excellent position to possibly make YOU more money later!

After all, what is the best, and cheapest, form of advertising?

Word of mouth, of course.  Better yet, word of mouth from a satisfied customer. 

And, who often makes the best distributor for a product?  Why, the satisfied customer who realizes that he or she has no problem telling others about how great the product is, how it served his or her business, and how it also presents the opportunity to make a couple of bucks as well.

With this all in mind, I just sent my downline the following email:

SUBJECT:  What do these people have to do with GDI?

Walter, Christina, Anneta, Mike, Pete, Carlton.

Seems like a random list of names to you.  However, to me they are potential GDI clients NOT found on the Internet!

I stopped in a local bakery in a small town the other day.  On the counter were stacks and displays of business cards belonging to local people.  None had an email address or website on it, yet it seemed to me that the businesses (insurance, para-legal, art gallery, motorcycle repair, pool service, car sales) could really use their own website, and, after all, these people were actively trying to promote their businesses.

There were a couple of email addresses on the cards, but they were Yahoo and SBCGlobal...generic. 

Most of these people don't feel they can afford to get a website, yet we know different.  We know that it is simple, and relatively cheap, to get your own domain name and email address that reflects your business, AND build the website yourself, without having to pay a website designer, and then host that website for $10 a month.

I bet Anneta would like to have lampasasartgallery.ws or originalpaintings.ws.  Maybe Mike would like to trade his email address at hotmail.com for mike@mikescycles.ws or something similar.  You know, I think I'll give them a call, send them a letter, or send them a DVD. 

What do you think?

Could you make a few more sales of your product if you think outside the Internet?

Have a great day.

Don Baldwin

P.S.  If you think this idea has merit, why not pass this to YOUR downline.

============
Don,
I like your idea. i have to agree with you that our product is what we should be selling especially now with the addition of the other domain extensions. If you get enough people who use and like the product, they will tell their friends and associates about it without thinking about making money. Your approach is great. Always be on the lookout for a potential customer. They are a lot easier to sell if they could use the product. I think it's time we redirect our thinking to the millions of potential customers.
Have a Great Day!
John Phillips

Hi Paula,

I just tried your site for free banners today and it works great for me  :)
Thank you.

Mario

Is it legal to put business cards in magazines and books at the book store? Isn't that the same as putting un-stamped ads in mailboxes? Great idea, I hope it is legal and want to make sure first!

=========
I don't know if it's legal or not but it works. If you're going to do it, may I suggest taking it easy. You don't want the management getting mad.
Speaking of business cards, I just made up one that I think is adorable. It says on the top:
GOT DOT?? AND UNDERNEATH THAT THERE IS A DRAWING OF A CUTE QUESTIONING DOG SURROUNDED BY THE DIFFERENT DOMAIN EXTENSIONS AVAILABLE. Under that I have my website address. The back of the card has some additional info. I would post it here but I'm not sure if I can do that because of copyrights, etc. The program I used said I could use the images but only for my personal use. If you're interested in seeing it, go to my website and click on my email. In the subject put "picture of card" and I'll email a picture so you can get the idea. Just don't use my dog. Actually, any cute animal should look good.
Have a Great Day.
John Phillips

I myself am not a people person, and really hate direct selling.  However, I just picked up 4 people into my down line yesterday by holding a one on one conversation with one person.  During the conversation, we started talking about ways to start a business and make money on the internet and I mentioned my affiliation with GDI.  He had heard about it but had never looked into it, and at 2:30am the following day I received a call from him wanting to get my code because he had decided to join and wanted to make sure he joined under me.  I checked my down line later that day and he had indeed joined.  Therefore, as everyone should do I emailed him welcoming him to GDI, offered advice to check out the forum and gave some other advice.  The next day I received an email from him (he put me on a broadcast email he was sending out to a list promoting GDI).  I must admit it was a very good email, touting the website registration and hosting opportunity not the income opportunity.  He picked up three signups in less than 24 hours of joining GDI (I picked up 4 down line members by holding a general conversation with a stranger).  So, I say yes direct one on one conversation works.

This incident only boosts my confidence in using that method.

However, there is one thing that completely irks me.  I came directly here  to the forum from searching the web about GDI, and reading through other forums.  Multi-Level-Marketing has taken a bad rap over the years.  GDI out on the net at the moment is getting a bad rap in a lot of forums.  The reason is that most of the members are overstating the income potential, making insane promises about the amount of money and the quickness with which it can be made.  I wish the members would tone it down a bit.

Kelvin

When I am talking with folks, I make MUCH of the Product.  Ii IS what we are about.  Who Needs a Web Site.?  YOU DO!  You have an address for your house.  You have a poastal address.  Your names in the phone book.  THUS, In today's society, you NEED a web presence, and YOUR OWN personal Email Address.  Lock it in, NOW while you can have what YOU want.  Help 12 other folks to find their own web presence, and yours is FREE!!  It just doesn't get better than that.

Dick and Regina Lewis

I read along the line someone did mention that "It's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission"! So, do it discretely, and if caught, you know what to do.  ;)

How do I change to a different GDI url that gets shown to people I invite from the inviite page? The one showing now has not yielded a new paying member for months of steady 100 per day effort-everything else being equal.

I know I have a choice of several different GDI affiliate urls. I have forgotten where to retrieve them. And, as my question above indicates, I'm not sure how to go about making the change so that my invitees see a different more dynamic website.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks

How many people here are taking advantage of free social networks like myspace, facebook, youtube, etc?

Stop being in peoples faces about your great opportunity and start being yourself.

The way you network is a big deal in how your marketing is percieved.

I'm teaching my team the new web 2.0 way because its free and it works!

plus

we work together to brainstorm new ideas and strategies to take advantage of these new technologies.

Check out my blog (click on the globe to your left)

I have a downline member who has several interested contacts in Germany and Austria, but there are no tools, other than the one German page, that I know of.  Anybody got anything they're using?  Does anybody know when/if a German version of the movie will be out?

Thanks

Don

Hi Everyone,
I need some help here, I'm thinking of running an ad on the radio. Is there a pre-written transcript anywhere that I could use? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Gang,

Im looking for some good gdi theme sits to use on my gdi site for examples of sites to refer to people  so they can get some good Ideas as to what they can do with their sites, I believe it can benifit us all. , please colaborate with me If you can.
Simone.

It a best job for me~^^ so fun and easy work everythinks~
thanks you for GDI  :)

If I want to make my own business card but I don't want to put my name and phone number in it. I only want to put a link. Then what else I should say to make it powerful? Any phrase or slogan? Thanks.

I would like to use my own business cards, and came up with two designs.
http://www.articweb.ws/business_cards.html

I would like for others to post their opinions on how they look or how they can be improved.

Hi everyone,

the one thing you can be sure of in today's fast changing online world is that a handful of key "insiders" grab hold of the latest proven traffic techniques–many of which are being completely overlooked by average marketers – reaping unbelievable rewards of effortless profit windfalls created by surges of quality traffic.

One of the mega-trends taking hold right now is the evolution to what's called Web 2.0. You know… that mysterious buzzword you see popping up all over the 'net.

According to a report released in December 2006 by Mediamark Research, video usage is up 123.7% in one year. Emarketer estimates 123 MILLION Americans will view online video every month in 2007.

That's just the start.

Obviously, the sheer growth of online video hosting services confirms the trend. There are over 147 as of today. Certainly by now, you know that You Tube was purchased by Google for a whopping $1.65 BILLION in October of 2006. But did you know that You Tube was only launched in February 2005?

Clearly, video is the wave of the future. And the beautiful thing is… anyone can ride it.

Who else is doing Web 2.0 marketing? Would love to share ideas!

Cheers

Dennis Koray

Hello everyone,

I know this isn't a new idea, but I was thinking about making little slips of paper with my GDI link on them. Then I want to slip them into bills and letters and such that I send out in the mail. This way, when someone opens up the envelope, there is my link. ;D

My question is this: Is this illegal to do? Or is there a better way to advertise and market? ???

I appreciate any feedback on this matter. Thank you in advance.

To all our $uccess :D,

Richard

Hello,
I do not think that any thing is illegal there.
You can priny even your envelope with your GDI details if you like.
There are many ways to get attention of your prospects for GDI.
M Khan

Hi Richard

Buy GDI Business cards and send them in your out going mail It is Legal.
Paper slips my not be the thing to do :o}

Web2.0 marketing covers more then video. By just having a video on a webpage doesn't make it web 2.0.
Web2.0 is coined by Tim O Reilly, a completer explanation of the concept is here http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

Simply put, web 2.0 marketing consists of webpages that allow interactions between you and the users as well as with each other.
Therefore some basic tools any web 2.0 marketer should have are:

• blog (blogger)
• personal page in social network sites (myspace)
• video sharing account (eg. youtube)
• social bookmarks
• rss reader

I would like to here some ratios people are getting with the GDI signup portion of thier duplication system, I have signed over 30 people in ths past 2 weeks but none have converted completely so no GDI signups from this yet  :( I have been told to be patient and let the autoresponder they have do its work, anyway I would like to hear some input please.

Adam,

From my 7 years plus of experience you need to get in contact with these people and ask them qualifying questions.

Keys:

1. Main job is to answer questions or concerns not sell them let the movie do that.

2. Ask for help from the upper leadership

3. Educate your potential business partners

4. Have a autoresponder but have a way to get in contact with these people to build trust and rapore.

5. Followup and follow thru

6. Don't quit

7. Ask questions find out what is working for other successful members in GDI.

Hope this helps

Howie Martell

Hello  GDI Members
   I have found that leaving 2 cards is better that one you never know who they know?
Leave them on High traffic areas where they will take them.
Dont leave too many as they will be waisted and be thrown away.
2 seams to be the lucky number for me and you can you can always
ome back for refill
this is

Hey Simone,

I'm in the same boat as you. Feel free to use my website. Let me know what you think.

Take Care,

Adam,

It's like a new baby, and waiting for it to walk.

You take it by the hand and help him/her stand.  You hold two hands, and start the walking
motion.

IE.  DVD, or Invite system, and they watch the movie.  THEN you call them.  Get them on their
computer, help them to understand that they haven't seen anything yet.  Walk them through
the sign up process, for their FREE 7 day trial.

Then get them a domain name with THEIR NAME in it.  JohnDoe.WS or just Doe.WS
Then walk them through the email box process.  IE  John@Doe.WS, or John@JohnDoe.WS

What did you just do?  You gave them a reason to STAY.  RETENTION!!  Important to build
residual income, for YOU and for THEM.  This is duplicable.

Now get them to their Website builder, and help them get ONE page up.  Nothing Fancy! Just
help them understand a bit how to do it. Once you help them get THEIR webpage up, you have
done it again!!  Duplicable.  It helps them to see the VALUE of what they have!  They stay!  People
are very reluctant about giving up THEIR stuff, be it web page or an old pare of jeans.  They get used
to them, they feel good.

Make YOU a good web page.  Simple one!  Not hard, to show your new sign up what they can have!
they will want it too.  Creates Retention.  Without Retention Your business, and anything associated to
it won't last.  Retention is KEY for all of us.

We have a great Value in GDI.  Let's learn how to use it.

Soon your new baby will be walking on his/her own, and helping others too.  That's how a crawl turns to
a walk, and then to a run!!  You just help them take the first few steps until they walk on their own.

Dick and Regina Lewis

Marlon, I would recommend using the Business Cards from GDI - they are great quality.

Hello Network Marketers,

On these times there is an interesting new all around the internet:
promoting directly your affiliate .ws website could be not so effective...
many internet marketers have started promoting in a different way,
through through those particular resources called "generic websites"

the tip is this: give people something free, and something which can help them with their mlm business
then follow up with them again and again with your offer

There are many of these "generic" websites, and many promotes GDI as primary business,
you can easily open a free account on one of these and start promoting your generic website's link instead of your GDI's link.

What about me?
Well, I came through more than ten of these websites, and I finally stop to the one I think is hand off the best
to promote GDI and multple downlines in mailing lists and taffic exchanges at the same time.

Just take a look at my profile if you want to learn more about this particular generic website. ;)

See you at the top,

Nick Angeli

hi...I'm a new member from Thailand . Nice to know everyone. I've just easy questions. Could I sponser friends around the world and Which website lay out is the best for sponser ^_^  I would like to see someone's website that can make a lot of money....sorry for this funny toppic.
Thank
MinkMink

Hi MinkMink,

For me the lead capture pages are the most effective

http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=1
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=2
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=3
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=4
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=5

You can also use your own GDI page and put an autoresponder form in it.

Another way is to sign up for a GDI team builder, there are quite a few out there,
check out my webpage for reference. (see my profile) or send me a private message.

Cheers

Hi my name is Paul just joined this week does anyone know where I can place banners free?

Alan is this an Automated process (ie you use a program to do so) or do you just use diary or calander notes to do so?

Is this method working, for you?

how do you get emails in the first place to drip to? if from your website, how do you get them there in the first place ?

Light

Theosis

I hope Alan doesn't mind me answering you. :P

From the post, I believe that the program for lead capture and automatic email sending is an autoresponder.
You can get the autoresponder service from Aweber of GetResponse for monthly fee of $17-$20.
I am currently using one that costs $9.97/month, send me a private message if you are interested.

In order to get email addresses to "drip to", there must be traffic to your website.
So the only way is to advertise.
Personally, I advertise my website using both online and offline methods.
Online methods that I use:

• Articles
• Blog
• Social bookmarking
• Social networking

Offline methods

• Showing DVD to friends
• Posting on local adboards
• Distribute flyers

Hi Team, just wanted to see how everyone was going on this fine Saturday afternoon.

Today I spent just a few hours aside to go out and pin up flyers around my place.

(email me if you want a copy of flyer for yourself, with your details of course)

I have to say even for me I was just a little hesitant at first... what if what if.

But trepidation aside I set out with perhaps 25 self printer flyers in each with 6 pull tags at the bottom that people can take at will.

I started to put one on the first crosswalk crossing stand, wind blowing my paper every where and making it not so easy.

An elderly man came up to me to see what I was doing, and you know what low and behold he offer to hold the paper down for me.

This was nice actually we had a little chat and I continued on.

Stopping for breakfast at my partners cafe and speaking with her boss he also saw my flyers and asked about them, I had never thought to mention them to him, not sure why it had not occured to me, perhaps I pre judged him. (shame on me) actually he liked the idea, loved the flyers and was saying, what I know to be true, stick at it maketing is a numbers game, you show 10 000 people 100 will join, its simple. For every no you get, odds and statistics are on your side you are getting closer to a yes.

Moving on and down the road a little I put a flyer on one side of the road and crossed to the other, I as I was waiting for my lights to change I again noticed some one noticing my flyers, I kept willing him take one take one.

It was such a bonus for me to see someone else really interesting in my business, really taking a serious look at my work.

I started to play the maths out again in my head (I often do this it gets me really motivated to move and work on my business)

okay 10 people in my front downline.

each with 10 people (ten people that is not so hard, you know 10 people dont you)

okay that is $10 from me and
$100 from my downline, I started to think. Wow I could have an extra day off each month (well almost) and not be short of pay

Okay and if each of those 10 people in there your downline found ten people (again not much, just covers cost of your monthly domain wow that is $1110... mmm that is a week of each month with out any loss of income... and each of these people refer 10 thats $10000
and each of them.
$111 110.  wow that is more than I get per year.

As I say I like to go through this maths in my head, like I know I know it, but it is such fun to think about where this business is growing to.

So anyway I am walking home, my flyers all sticky taped to telegraph polls and crosswalks, and sure enough I come to one and wow, it has already had 4 out of the 6 tags pulled off it.. I am more than a little excited, but you know I contain myself... I walk down the road a little further and sure enough more pull tags are missing. here and there of different flyers I have put up.

This was an hour ago and I sit here now very pleased with my mornings efforts.

I want to say, I wish for your success, I really do. I wish for you to all live financially free, I am so pleased you all have enough courage to get out there and work your business. I see your businesses grow and know how good it feels for each of you to start seeing that commision figure go up and up each month. for those of you that have your second line started. Congradulations, you are well on your way now. I encourage you to encourage your team your downline, help them in anyway that you can.

If you need any help from me at all I am but an email away.

And guys that have not yet had that first success, hang in there, promote your business. Really it is yours to grow, be proactive, if you want to promote online, www.google.com/adwords is great it lets you set your monthly spend (I spend between 30 and 80 per month approx) off line, mail drops, pull flyers, speaking to your friends, facebook, chatting online.  It does take a little work each day, each week, but I promise you, you look after your business now, it will look after you in the future.

Really look at that above figure and think about that each month, everymonth, that is my incentive, what is yours

As I say if anyone would like a copy of the flyer that I am using and having some success with please email me, I am only to happy to share with you. Your success is my success.

If anyone needs help with ideas or stratagies again, email me.

Love light and respect

Theosis

I was impressed with your dedication and the flyer idea can work to a certain extent.

You must consider your target market for GDI.

If you just place flyers in those places lots of time people who will be looking at it will not take it as serious as belly to belly marketing.

People don't buy from companies because of the product or service.

They buy because you have certain leadership skills and resources which can help them be successful at any home business.

Understand your method can work but is it as duplicable as say creating your own leads and educating them at the same time.

Ponder this how many people these days get bombarded daily by offers?

Lots of us do those people who are trying to steal our hard earned money going about it the wrong way.

Any basic business  building steps is about relationships first product or service last.

The reason is a simple most people don't want to hear about the latest widget, they just want someone to listen to them, and figure out a way for them to get out of debt ect...

You see the industry we are in is about providing hope, and way to create finanical freedom.

Dear Theosis

You are marvelous.   You see, I live in New Delhi and currently "India International Trade Fair" is going on in the city. I have prepared a flier explaining the GDI product and income opportunity in detail. I intend distributing the flier during this expo. 

I would certainly like to have a copy of your flier emailed to me.  I'd be grateful for other useful online/offline promotional tips.

Thanks a lot.  Regards

Sundup

Hello Sundup,
This is a good idea and you believe it or not but in India you have too much potentila for GDI.
As you know $1000 means in India Rs 38000 , you can give classified ads in newspaper cheaper rates and leave your visiting cards all places
whener you go , and put your cards just two lines "If need to earn Rs 40000 per month in part time
only need to work one hour daily , then visit......(put your GDI site)"
You will get lot of response.
I am also an Indian working in Saudi arabia.

no problem at all shoot me through your email addy I will send it there, also if you like give me your account name for GDI as I will modify it for you.

Wow I really really want to get some of my downline in India, always thought this would be one of the top markets to get into.

I wish you all the best (PS love india lived there for a while)

Hello Theosis,
I welcome your thought to get rfferals from India.
it is very easy just go google and get involved in Indian classified sites your free ads .
i hope you will get success for your efforts.
M Khan

I have decided to use GDI as a fund raising tool for my community.  There are lots of picturs online that I see off people who make money and get fancy cars.  I don't see to many donating anything.  I will be donating 10% of my income from GDI.  

I have set up a webpage just recently so the links arn't  all set up yet.  I am starting a fund raiser in my area to donate to the local food bank.  I spoke with the exectutive director at our local food bank and seems really keen on my idea's.  I will be starting a local group in each city or town that will donate to their local charities.  I also provide a way for all our members to earn money so that we can donate 10% from our earnings.  I am going to keep the community groups to about 20 people per area for now.  I am setting up the first one in Barrie Ontario.  Here's the link for my plan. http://homeforwork.ws/barrienetwork.html - It's not advertised yet.  Needs some editing, spelling mistakes to fix, some links not active yet.

My solution to all my members earning money is simple.  We will have joined GDI in a certain numerical order.  After about 20 members we will explore another online business that suites our downline needs, then join it in the reverse order of GDI.  So the last person in GDI is the first person in the next online business. We all win.   Then we do the same thing again with another business, and so on.  Our team/group stays together, we all donate 10%.  Everybody wins, people are fed.  We feel good about ourselves.

Our downline stays together, we move as an organized team.   We all make money.  I am targeting my local area because it's a community theme.  

Our team will sponsor other communities to get involved and start a website like the one I made.  I'll give it to them with some minor changes. Ok, there will be some rules in place in order for everything to work in an orderll fashion.  It's just a way to organize your downlines, keep them, and make money for all involved.

This plan can work well.  Strange that there are som many people in GDI, but I can't find one person in my area that is.  I am about to change that.

Already GDI earns me enough money to pay my vehicle insurance every month.  The problem is, all the people in my downline are in italy, I don't speak Italian.  So I will be going local and spreading the GDI word and have a team that donates in as many cities and towns as possbile.

I think many fund raisers and charities should use network marketing to help their cause.

I need some help!

I'm here (in GDI) since September and my downline is empty yet.
I think I'm doing something wrong!
I publish some advertising every day as my upline said (10 - 20 advertisings each day).
I talked with my friends and other people offering dvd presentation.
I put a banner in my website.

What else can I do?

Thanks everybody!

Hi all!

Just wondering if any of you have had success sending information about GDI to (opt-in, mind you) MLM genealogy lists? I have found a (reputable) provider of these lists, but they are quite expensive. I am wondering if the expense is because the list would contain many good leads?

Hello everyone~

I just wanted to post this about marketing. People make it so much harder than it is more often than not. One thing that people should do to market your business successfully is just tell them what you do. Everyone that I come into contact with, whether just someone that I walk by and they say hello in a grocery store, to someone that I see that I have not talked to in YEARS and I run into them somewhere. If we exchange words, they get a business card.

It is important that we do this. I am not sure if you are familiar with Jim Rohn, but he says that if you talk to enough people, soon a ratio will appear. This has to do with the law of large numbers. Obviously, the more people that you talk to, the more people you will sign up.

Here is what you can do to become more successful in your marketing/recruiting. Set yourself a MDC. That stands for minimum daily contacts. Make a goal to contact a specific amount of people PER DAY! Mine is 3. That is 90 people per month. If you are talking to 90 people per month, I guarantee that you will start signing people up. The cool thing about this method is, the more comfortable that you get in talking to people, the more people you will start signing up. It is not that hard to come up with a 35% to 40% average. You just need to take this very seriously and BE CONFIDENT!

One thing that you have to do right now is believe! Believe that you have the best product and business opportunity online today! If you stumble over your words, and you are not confident in your products and services, your prospects will see right through you. If you are not confident, then I encourage you to go back through your members area and re-evaluate what you have here. Gain confidence in it, believe that what you have is AWESOME and go out and tell people with confidence that they too will love our products, services and opportunity!

This all ties together with the phone as well. If you have people visiting your website, or you are ordering the phone verified leads from the back office, you NEED to pick up that phone. This world has become so impersonal, and we need to make it personal again. Take a personal interest in your prospects. You do not even have to try and "sell" them, you just have to let them know that there is a real person there to help them should they need it. That is all. Act as though you are a tour guide and they are a tourist. Just guide them through the information and ultimately get them back to your website and let this system sell them. That is why we have this system with that $250,000.00 video! Use that sucker! And if you have a prospect that is on the fence, send them a DVD. Get something in their hands that gives you credibility. One thing I always tell people is, that you do not have to be the expert...that is what the website is for. Just be the nice tour guide who just made sure that their questions were answered, and their needs were met, and that they WATCHED THE MOVIE!!!

I suggest that you tell people that they HAVE to watch the movie. 1, the movie is awesome and will wow them, and 2 it shows them that you have a system that is working. That way when they ask all you will say is, well all I do is send people to this movie, call them and see if they have questions and make sure they watched the movie, sign them up and tell them to do the exact same!

If you have an easy to follow "system" you will become duplicatable and that is the KEY to success with network marketing. You will attract people if they think that they "can do this". If you do things that scare you, chances are it will scare them. People only want to do what is easy, and showing people the movie could not be easier. Start making it a requirement before you work with someone. Tell them that movie is making people a fortune, and that you REQUIRE that people you work with watch it and get to know it, because they are going to use it too, to build THEIR businesses.

I hope that this helps! Just get out there and talk to people, and CALL YOUR LEADS!!! Don't be scared because you don't have to try and "sell" them, just visit and direct them BACK to your website and let IT do the selling! Again I say THAT IS WHAT IT IS HERE FOR. Get yourself out of the way...be a "tour guide".

Happy GDIing!

Hello Fellow GDI'ers!

If you are not using a system to market your GDI business that might be the reason you are struggling to make money. You need to be able to follow up with prospects with an autoresponder that continues to make contact and allows you to broadcast messages to your prospects to maintain interest in GDI or they will hightail it into another program. You have to be able to do this affordably as well so your finances are not drained in the process. Well, I have found just that vehicle and I am starting to see some results already! I will keep you posted and let you know how I am doing...God Bless all of you and Happy Holidays coming up!

Yours In Success!

DavidFoster,

Thank you very much for your post. It contained a lot of good information, and I needed to see something like that to help me build excitement and momentum.

I just ran your small ad thru my ad program and it got a rating of 8.9.(bad).  You have ten (10) key words that will get your ad thrown in the trash bin with out even slowing down. Anybody  that is sending emails should look closely at the wording. If you would like more info contact me.

Darren,

Personally, I don't think I would take the time to follow through on what i see in your ad. By using the text 'building websites', I think most readers will think that it takes a lot of work, and would require learning a whole new skill (HTML coding) that they do not have a desire to learn.

I wanted to know who might know and give me their opinion on what they would share the best tip when investing a few hundred dollars into GDI. What would be wise to do with a lump some of money when investing in GDI?

Thanks any help will be appreciated!


Roberto

I've been at this about a year. I have nothing to show it. I'm not buying any of their DVDs and sending them out to PPL. It's a waste of good money! PPL sign up and when they find out you can't help them get signups they leave. Around here they advise you to advertise and promote but no one will say where they advertise or where they get their signups from. Take out ads in the papers. Ish don't think so. After looking in this forum I found a few pieces of ad copy to use but they have been unsuccessful so far. The only thing that keeps me with GDI is the fact that I have my own domain name for ten dollars a month. As for the money making end of it I don't see how PPL are doing it. When you ask for help all they say is read in the forum and go on the calls which to date have gotten me nowhere.

Hello Every one !
I am Rashmi Mattu, from Andhra Province of India, Asia. I had joined GDl last year. But after 6 month also, I could not enroll a single member under me. May be I am only using the traditional methods of recruiting by daily invitations (100 everyday). People see the presntation. I ask them to take a 7 day free trial, but so far no one has responded.

Can anyone guide the best way. Today I have read about printing some visiting cards of mine and distributing them to everone all over the place.

Other than this do you have any ther method to promote GDI even better. Hope this form will make me prudent enough to earn few bucks with the guidance of you all oldies in this business.

Regards
Rashmi M

Hi Alex,

You are right, most people are "riders" who hope that they just join and have you put sign ups under them.
It is often said that the Network Marketing industry is a numbers game, you just have to keep looking until you find leaders who are serious to build the business.
It is true to a certain extent.

What I do is to build depth. This keeps the 'free riders" happy and they will stay in the group.
After that I find deserving people in my downlines and help them grow the business.

I actually have a system to do that, if you are interested, please PM me.

To get people to sign up for your business, it is not enough just to directly advertise.
Try building a list with something free to offer (non MLM products or service),
when you build a relationship with them it is easier to tell them about the opportunity.

Hope that helps.

Hello Alex,

I would be willing to take you under my wing, and share some of the same training materials I give my own downline, if you'd like?

  ::) GDI concept is amazing, yet I am trying to build my webpage and having no success.
I am new to the computer world and the language is somewhat foreign. 

I know if I build a simple but apealing webpage success is lurking around the corner.

Newbie since Jan 9th, help required..

Kris  ;) 

How can you call members on your down line "riders"?
Have you sent them an email and asked them why they joined?
Maybe it was for the same reason as I did, for the product itself, to have my own website and a place to host it, all included for the same low price.
It's not my fault that I was automatically signed up in someone's down line, that's apparently a given when signing up for the product.

Is anyone out there utilizing the fundraising idea first posted a couple of years ago, if so how's it going?( as I'm interested in pursuing the idea myself ) Many Thanks, Eugene.

Hi D_Martinez,

I didn't intend to be offensive when I use the word "riders", perhaps I have chosen the wrong term.
I am really sorry if you were offended.

I would love to have people who are users like yourself, signing up just because they like the product.
But it is difficult to find such prospects.

Domain registration from Godaddy is just $8.95 per year
And you can find full hosting packages with 25G storage/300G bandwidth plus full script support for less then $2/month in the internet.

For your info, 100% of my downlines join me for the opportunity, not the product.
However, GDI has the advantage of allowing us to promote other opportunities along side this one on our domain name,
so this business is a stepping stone to multiple income streams.

That's why I love GDI  :D

Dpro

My 2008 strategy will be focused around YouTube!

I don't mean making youtube videos promoting my GDI username and explaining why people should join under me.

What I mean is finding talented youtubers to promote GDI.

I now fully understand how the internet works and developed a system to capatalize on the things we do everyday on the internet to get us GDI'ers some real signups.

Have you ever paid attention to how many views a popular video gets? hundreds and hundreds of thousands in a very short time.

Imagine we all got together and owned all the popular videos on youtube because of our joint effort.

Now imagine we funneled all the traffic from those videos to one site and shared the signups equally (up to 5 signups each).

That would mean $3905/m for everybody helping our cause.

Imagine this system was FREE for all GDI affiliates.

This is a revolutionary idea that will change the way we do GDI.

Give the riders what they want and the people that work will benefit even MORE!

Hello fellow forum members,

There appears to be two distinct paths you can follow to get more "traffic" to your website.

1. PPC - Pay Per Click advertising, such as Google Adwords.

2. SEO - Search Engine Optimization techniques.

What I would like to know is what success fellow forum members are having with these techniques ?

And if there are any tips you can share with us all so we may all benefit from your knowledge.


Aaron Riddell

Hi Alan,

I like your approach and I can see how it would be successful. I do think this is all about being a numbers game, but the willingness to help your downline to become successful is important too. I am curious about what would be an example of your wording for these drip emails. I am new to GDI but recognise its potential and am keen to push it along. I would be very grateful for your wisdom.

Regards,

Hello Everyone,

One way to build a successful GDI business is to help your downlines.
I have built a website that provide GDI tips to my prospects and downlines.

I am sharing here them here in the forum.
You can view my GDI website at:

http://www.gditips.ws

Hi everyone.

READ CAREFULLY PLEASE

This is a great way to build your GDI business, build your own list and also build other streams of income all at the same time.

I stumbled across this only recently and it is the only real help I have found online that actually works. It is free! You receive your own replica of a lead capture page which is like gold by itself. You receive a free auto-responder with that lead capture page and it's really easy to setup if you haven't done that type of thing before. If I can do it anyone can! There is even a short movie showing you the steps to help you set it up.

The whole concept is to build your very own list and in the process you can offer the same deal to people who signup in your GDI business as this is provided also. This gives people even more incentive to join. How can you go wrong? I admit I procrastinated before doing this myself, but I'm overly cautious. I am so glad I finally gave it a try. For the first time I have actually started to build a list of subscribers and we all know a percentage of these subscribers will join your business eventually. It is just a number's game.

I hope this helps inspire some of you to take action and give something a go. Nothing will ever change unless you change.

Yours in success,

David

I certainly understand where you're coming from. I'm still trying to get up to 5 in my downline. Wish I had a sponsor who could offer some good information instead of trying to sell his latest marketing system.

Focusing on your Up-line will only keep you down :(

Focus, Focus, Focus on why you got into this Business in the first place :)
And that was to build a strong DOWN-LINE to set you up for Financial Freedom!
Some sponsors will not hold you by the hand nor should they. YOU and YOU alone are in charge of your success and failures in life. If you are not willing to spread the word about your business with others by purchasing and giving out DVD’s or thru other forms of advertising such as classifieds etc. Then you will struggle in this and in any other business endeavor that you try, you must be willing to Market YOUR BUSINESS
Until you decide to take responsibility for YOUR BUSINESS and TAKE ACTION by becoming a LEADER YOURSELF then and only then will people follow and sign up under you. Remember, each person you sign up can be worth literally thousands of dollars to you over time. Help them get what THEY want, and YOU will be rewarded exponentially!
What was it that your sponsor said or did that attracted you to join this business?
Was it an email with an encouraging word or an Ad that caused you to take action?
What ever it was it worked on you and it will work on other likeminded individuals too, so if you just do what they did you might be surprised.
Redirecting your focus might help, THINK DOWN-LINE :)

PS: Believe it or not, there is a way you can attract anything you want in life, and you can do it with far less effort than you could possibly imagine.

Does anyone know how some of these guys in the leaderboards are bring in 24-25 people every week? i am very intrigued at how this is possible. thanks for your input.

Hello

I read an article where someone said they used e-zines to successfully promote GDI, has anyone got any information on how to do this?

Many thanks

-Lisa

Hi ;D

I'm new to GDI and i've been doing alot of reading on everything especially the marketing and i can't seem to find any ads to us for promoting GDI online. I see banners and flyers but no ads to use in classifieds, message boards, forums, etc online. Can anyone help me with some ads to use for promoting my GDI business online so i can get started right away? Thanks in advance. :D

to qualify for leaderboard, you have to purchase the DVDs
this is only recommended if you have prospects offline that are interested in home business opportunities or MLM experienced customer base. I know some asia countries like Thailand do well here.

There are also Many GDI members enjoying many signups without showing up at the leaderboards as we dont buy the DVD but market GDI online
So it depends on how you want to market GDI.

 I would like to buy reprints, but I can't find info on lables.
 
 Do they come with my contact info on them?

 If Not, where do I get lables? Does any one care where I buy lables if in fact I need them?

 Where should I place them? laundry mats, schools, ......?

 How should I distibute them???? Is there really a PREFERD Method?


 I'm a stay at home mom and house wife. GDI is my second MLM business. And I'm so looking foward to the income. I just need some pointer.
 Thanx to every one whom responds to this post.

Hi Bobby

What a great website you have created! I found it most inspiring.

When you say that GDI provide ready made websites - how do I access this function? I was up until 4am yesterday trying to make mine from scratch!
I must have missed something in my rush to get started.

Although the Terms & Conditions sound strict, am I right in thinking that we can do pretty much what we like with our sites as long as there's no direct competition with GDI?

I followed your link to Hypervre and really wanted to download it - especially as it's free - but ended up having to try 3 different email addresses. It kept saying that my email address was already in their system but wouldn't let me download. Any idea what I can do to get it? There wasn't a "Contact" tab.

Thanks for sharing!

What actually works with getting GDI affiliates?! (apart from another network marketing affiliate scheme)

Re-investing proceeds. This is important with any business, thats marketing. This is not always easy for the new or the (often) broke.

I am not new to marketing but am fairly new to GDI, I have yet to establish a DL. There are many things people can use for little or no cost, like the leaky drip technique, after enough exposure people will notice.

Try Safelists try Autoresponders how about Traffic Exchanges ... don't go over board, select a few and try to track what does and does not get you results. Do google searches on these three things for more info as to what they are and how they work in general. If you are wondering if one is better than the other, do google for feedback or end user reports etc. There are many, actually most of these systems offer free plans that you can THEN pay for when/if you get the desired results.

 remember , a rolling stone gathers no moss  -> that is keep moving and you will get things going   ;D  well, thats my plan  :o

making friends and join MLM groups in social network sites may also help.
The important thing is don't try to sell immediately before building a rapport.

Some forums are very responsive too, check out the forum threads here:
moneymaker forum (http://www.moneymakergroup.com/Global-Domains-Internatio-t7534.html)
dreamteam money forum (http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=35505)
profit seeker forum (http://www.profitseekersnetwork.com/forums/t682.html)

Another tip if you are using traffic exchanges, make sure you are promoting a splash page instead of your normal GDI affiliate link.
I have found out that putting a video on the splash page increases my conversion rate too.

Hi, I'm Melissa Zimmerman. I'm new to GDI and very excited to be a part of this company!  Just wanted to make a suggestion that I haven't found here yet.  I've been using permission emails to get the word out, and you get a pretty good response.  The only drawback is that it's rather time consuming.  If you can afford a lead package, by all means, go that route, hehe.  But if you're like me, just starting out, permission emails is a great way to build a personal list.  So....what is a permission email?  It's very simple really.  First, do a google search for "free online classifieds".  You're not going to be posting an ad, you're going to be responding to the ads!  Most are set up where you don't get the advertiser's email address, but you enter a message, and the classified system sends the person your email.  Mine usually look something like this:

Melissa Zimmerman

Hello.  I'm writing to you because I would like to share a very lucrative business opportunity.  The company is strong, the product is GREAT, and you can try the whole thing for free to see for youself!  I would love the chance to work with you!  Please respond either way you decide.  Thanks, and have a great day!!

That's it.  I even just copy the blurb and paste it into each ad response I send out.  There are literally hundreds of thousands of "home business" ads posted on the online classifieds.  Usually, people go there to promote whatever they are affiliated with, not to look for something else.  This way, you're sending them a message, and you're getting the response of whether or not they are interested in seeing what you have to offer.  This is great because you then enter the names and addresses of people that want more info into the GDI autoresponder.  Now you're done until you get signups!  Well, keep doing the permission emails, of course, but you really shouldn't need to contact the same people, other than answer questions and let them know again that you're excited about the business AND that you're looking foreward to working with them.  Good luck all!

6 Surefire Ways To Profit From Your Online Network Marketing Program

Making money through quality Network Marketing has become a very
hot topic in today’s Internet Marketing industry.

I know it for sure, because as an Editor of Arigola e-Millionaire Newsletter
which provides FREE Ad to my subscribers, I notice that the numbers of
ads I received which promote Network Marketing programs have increased
significantly for the last 3 years.

If you want to take advantage of this growing trend, the following
suggestions might be very useful for you to build your own nice residual
income through quality Online Network Marketing programs.

1. Join A Quality Network Marketing Program That Has A Good System To
Help You Build Your Own Paid Downlines.

Every experienced Network Marketer knows that in Network Marketing the
money is in the Paid Downlines who stay and grow.

Therefore, it is so important to make sure that the Network Marketing program
you want to join has a good system to help you build and grow your own
Paid Downlines.

You know a Network Marketing Program has that kind of system, if they provide
you with the following:

1a. Professional Website. (Easy to load, easy to navigate, easy to read
and grasp information.)

1b. Powerful sales letter in the website. (The one which is so convincing
that turns visitors into downlines.)

1c. List Building System in the website. (Offer something valuable for
free to capture the visitors’ email addresses, so you can follow-up with your
Autoresponder Series.)

1d. Autoresponder. (The machine that automatically send several
messages in different set dates.)

1e. Powerful Built in Autoresponder Messages. (7, or 15, or 52,
or whatever number of messages that have been pre-written for
you and you can set them to be sent for every 2 days, or 7 days,
or whatever days that suit you. If these messages are very well
written, you will have high conversation rates.)

1f. Certain numbers of leads which will be automatically loaded
to your autoresponder every month you stay in the program. (This
feature helps you market your network marketing program
automatically. While you do nothing, your autoresponder messages
do the selling for you.)

If you haven’t involved in any Network Marketing program yet, please take
a look at the following sites:

[The links are omitted deliberately to follow the forum rules]

Visit those sites and learn. That’s what I mean by a “Quality Network Marketing
Program”. They have even more than I listed above. They have video and DVD
presentations that do the selling for you. They have great forum with more than
60,000 active members where you can learn from each other how to build your
Network Marketing business. And they have a lot more than that.

I highly recommend you to take their “7 Days Free Trial” offer. And then browse
all they got in your member area to make you understand how a good Network
Marketing Program should do and be.

(Bagian ini baru saja saya tambahkan, sebagai salah satu cara saya memasarkan GDI)


2. Work Closely With Your Upline

The fact that your upline has successfully recruited you as his/her downline means
that his/her method works.

It’s really a simple common sense to ask them for “their success secrets”. If you
succeed from putting their ideas to work, they succeed too.


3. Organize An Advertising Co-Op For Your Organization

Getting quality traffic to your Network Marketing program site can be very
expensive, if you do it on your own. But you can save tons of cash, if you
purchase it in bulk.

Let me explain.

Let’s say you want to buy responsive and quality leads from a reliable leads
provider, but your budget for that purpose is only $150. With this cash, you
can only get $0.30 per lead.

Now, you can ask your downline to do Ad Co-op with you. If you can get 9
downlines who are willing to pay $150 each, your budget becomes $1500.
With this money, you can get leads for $0.22 each. So everyone will get 681
leads instead of 500 for the same $150.

What if you just start and don’t have any downline yet? Easy. Ask your
upline(s) to organize it for you.
 

4. Get As Many Targeted Prospects As Possible To Trigger Your Autoresponder

You want to do this because you need to expose your series of sales
messages to people who are in needs of what you have to offer. The more
targeted prospects who send emails to your autoresponder email address,
the better.

Apart from importing quality leads you purchase into your autoresponder as
explained in point 3, you can also do it by promoting your autoresponder
address through:

4a. Ezine Advertising.
Run Solo Ads or Top Sponsor Ads or Classified ads in Ezines of which the
subscribers match your prospect criteria. Give them something valuable for
FREE to send a blank email to your autoresponder email address. Trust me,
it works. I’ve personally gained hundreds of prospects using this tactic alone.

4b. Google Adwords Advertising
When you use this method, it’s like displaying your classified ad in the entire
network of Google. It can be displayed million times but you only pay when
someone clicks your link. And when they do, they are very targeted. They
are your hot prospects.

Therefore, make sure that the link you put in your ad, is the one that directs
them to a web page that will make them send their email addresses to your
autoresponder address.

If you want to get Google Adwords for FREE, click here:

[The link is omitted deliberately to follow the forum rules]

4c. Smart Use Of Quality Traffic Exchange, Start Page Exchange Or Hit
Exchange programs.
These programs are free to join and this is how they work: When you join,
they will give you a “surfing” URL that contains so many web pages in rotation.
Usually, you get one credit for each page you surf for 30 seconds. For every 2
credits you’ve got, they will display your Target URL to other member once.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of them. But the quality ones are not that many.
When you use this method, don’t put your Network Marketing Program
homepage as the target URL. Your target URL should be a web page that offers
something so valuable for free to motivate your prospects to send their email
addresses to your autoresponder address.

Here are the best ones I know:

[The links are omitted deliberately to follow the forum rules]

4d. Getting Involved In MLM forums
Go to google.com. Research MLM forums. Join the ones that suit you. Don’t
write any ads at all. Introduce yourself. Involve in discussion that interests you.
Provide intelligent answers only in the topic you really know. Invite people to
send blank emails to your autoresponder only in your Signature file.

If your posts make people think that you are an expert, chances are you’ll get
a lot of hot prospects sending blank emails to your autoresponder address.

4e. Quality Article Writing
Once you’ve gained some experiences that people might like to know about
and to learn from, start writing quality articles and submit it to as many article
directories and ezines as possible.

If you can put in quality content that your readers like and find it useful,
you’ve built a good reputation. And usually they don’t mind to visit your
website or subscribe to your mailing list.

And when they do, they are also very targeted and they are also your
hot prospects.

To access Article Directories and Ezine Directories, just Google it. You’ll find
tons of sites where you can submit your articles to.

4f. Learn The Tips, Tricks And Techniques of Web Promotion
In The “Insider Secrets” Course
For other effective methods to promote your sites, I highly recommend you to
take Derek Gehl’s The Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business On The Internet.
Originally, it’s the work of the late Great Internet Marketer, Corey Rudl. It’s
responsible for the making of tons of today’s Internet 6 figures income earners.
It’s responsible for making me an Ezine Publisher with more than 40,000
subscribers. I guarantee that you’ll learn a lot just by taking a closer look at the
site here:

[The link is omitted deliberately to follow the forum rules]

4g. Promote your Network Marketing site using Web 2.0 Marketing.
What does Web 2.0 Marketing mean? It actually takes an entire ebook to explain
it thoroughly. But in short, it’s using the combination of “Bookmarking Sites”,
“Social Networking Sites”, “Blogging Sites”, and “Video Sharing Sites” to promote
your site.

How do you do that?

For complete resources which you can get for free, click here:

[The link is omitted deliberately to follow the forum rules]

Here, you can sign up for free and download ebooks about how to use Web 2.0
Marketing to promote your site.

4h. Use Your Microsoft Excel To Create Your Own Table Of Daily Marketing
Plan For 36 Days. Or More.
Put what you’ve learned so far into action immediately. Don’t procrastinate. Don’t
be afraid to spend some money, when you have to. It’s your investment.

Remember, building your Network Marketing business is no different than building
a brick and mortar one. It takes capital. It takes skills and works.

So, do your Marketing and Promotion Activities Daily. Plan it first using your Microsoft
Excel. List all the activities in one row. Spread it up to 36 days. Or more. Once it’s
done, execute it as planned.

Don’t forget to use Ad Tracking Device for every promotional tactic and ad you
use to know which one gives you the best results.


5. Repeat The Methods That Work Until You Gain Significant Profits

If the methods you receive from your upline work, repeat it. If not, forget it.
The same thing goes for other tactics explained in this article.

If you keep repeating what works, chances are you will gain significant profits in
no time. What I mean by significant is the amount you receive per month from
a particular program is at least 30 times its monthly fee.

Once you reach this stage then…
 

6. Ask Your Friends To Join Under You And Persuade Them To Do What You Have Done

Well, you’ve gained profits already. It means that you have a solid prove and you
don’t come to your friends empty handed. You won’t be laughed at. In fact, you
will trigger their curiosity and motivate them to join under you.

But be picky here. Choose only those who have interest in making money from
home and are familiar with computers and internet.

After they do, explain to them the benefits (read: profits) they will get, if they
follow your examples. Be their faithful coach until they earn their own significant
profits. Once they reach this stage, tell them to ask their contacts to join under
them and follow their steps.

Once you hit success with this technique, CONGRATULATIONS! Your Downline
for a particular program has grown like crazy! Without you even knowing it! By
that time, I guess you’ll earn more than $1,900 per month from any Network
Marketing Program you join!

I don't know who I'm replying to as I couldn't find the reply button on the one I was looking at....but I looked at a site that was done and was wondering where you get the video from to put on the site.  I can't even find where mine is located to make one....but yours looked good...  Not sure I'll know how to do it...I ve got other websites that I do in front page but if this is different then I'm not sure I'll know what to do with it....shirley

I have an idea, and I would like your opinion on it.

It is to market GDI's opportunity and products to Christians as an inexpensive, systematic way of helping one another through ChristianMom.ws and ChristianDad.ws .  They will be The Christian Moms Team and Christian Dads Team at GDI .

Oh, I so agree. When I get an email, I want it to be short and I want to know if it is something I can test before I buy. If I can, then I am extremely likely to go check it out. If it is something that is a one-time, low cost product, then I want to know key benefits, not a million testimonials in the email. If the key benefits are interesting or intriguing, than I will click on the link. However, even if a product is a test before you buy or if it is low-cost with interesting key benefits, I am UNLIKELY to click if the email is very long.

Hi Shirley,

I'm assuming the video that you are asking about is for the GDI presentation, here is the link:

Just remember to substitute your username :)

Hi everyone,

This is Tambo, I have been doing quite a research on how a blog can be a great benefit for your GDI business.. and still i really can't figure it our how exactly it works. I know  that the set up of  a blogger will require time and effort, especially as you have to keep post fresh and unique content daily or weekly to your gdi blogger. Does anyone in the forum knows how to do this? I would be grateful for any assistance anyone can offer in regard to a blogger set up and how we can base our blogger on the gdi server.. not so sure if this is a right question.

Ok, hope to hear from anyone in the forum.

Best of luck.

Tambo

Heres an idea for everyone. It's pretty obvious that you will not get rich quick with GDI. So for those of you that are willing to do a couple simple things you can make some good money with this even at $1 per recruit. If you simply recruited 1 person per month and showed that person how to recruit 1 person your downline will look like this in 1 year.

1.   2
2.   4
3.   8
4.   16
5.   32
6.   64
7.   128
8.   256
9.   512
10.   1,024
11.   2,048
12.   4,096

It's a simple thing to do, recruit 1 person a month and show them how to do the same.  You dont need magical ads or headlines. In my business I recruited over 23 in my first 2 months. I think you can find 1 per month and have patience. That's all it takes.
Remember in network marketing it's not about you doing all the work, its about a bunch of you doing a little bit that adds up to alot. Good luck to you all.

Thanks for this helpful post!!! ;D

your welcome, if people will master the little things than the big picture will come. This business is that simple, and you know what out of the 4,096 people on your team you personally recruited 12.  How hard would it be 1 day a month to call those few people and say hey its time to get that 1 recruit this month, call me when you have it. Fortune in any network marketing business is in the follow up.
Keep things duplicatible and as simple as possible so that the people you recruit believe that they can do what you did.

George

If there are any of the leader board members who frequent the forum, I would love to know some of your techniques that you use to put so many people into your business every week consistently?  You can PM me.  Thanks.

I agree with you Stephanie, I'd like to know too. So any leaders out there who read this please pass on your tips to me too.

Regards
Marion

I agree with the drip marketing methods.  I hated talking to strangers who wanted nothing to do with a business opportunity.  It was such a waste of time for me.  I was always on the look out for someone to talk to when they couldn't care less about what I had to offer.
If I was a real estate agent I wouldn't tell someone they needed to buy a new house or try to convince them to sell theirs...
I would advertise my services and expertise and then when they were ready to buy or sell I'd be the person they would call.

Talking to business opp seekers has never worked well in my opinion.  Marketing to people that know what residual income is and the basics on how to be successful are the people you should be trying to reach.  Tire kickers are a waste of time and money.

Plus, you need to have a system in place that monetizes the people who say no to you and GDI.
Funded proposals are the way that everyone (even newbies) can generate real income, qualified leads and get the training that we all need to succeed in this business.

Get a lead generation system that captures leads into an auto responder and then when they are in your list you can drip information to them on what you do and the tools and tricks that have made you successful.
When they see your leadership and your value to them they will PAY to join you! 
Become the hunted instead of the hunter!

What companies or websites do you use to get your leads from? Please leave feedback on which sites you would recommend and which ones you didnt receive a return on investment on.

Thank You

HELLO GDI MEMBERS

One day said to myself how can reach a totally new market who have money and the need for web presence.

I said simple go to where the prospects hang out and drop cards into popular books, magazines, and in pant and shirt pockets while shopping as normal consumer.

You all may say wow thats sneaky I Think it is way to reach people long term it takes time and dedication each week but enjoy the challenge.

On top of this also drop my cards in cashiers hands, with tips for baggers, phone booths, newspaper racks.

Another simple method been using also is when paying bills always include a card or two with my check or payment.

People these methods our not new and with the way email is sometimes you if you really want to start to explode your business have to get out of the

comfort zone and go out and meet people indentify leaders and have them trained to duplicate some of these simple methods.

While at these stores also have simple sign on the back of my car says Tired living Paycheck to Paycheck want  to earn more!

So no matter where i go advertising while driving or at the movies.

We don't need to re invent the wheel keep it simple and show your members You Care about Them!

God Bless

Hi Guys

Could someone please enlighten me on how to get sign-up for the Business.  I have been getting lots of hits and views from my invitations I have only had 3 signs up in about 3 months and one of them dropped out.  I have purchased leads, I have a autoresponder set up, I have a site rotator and I am now signed up with some FREE traffic exchange programs.  So my problem is not getting visitors its the sign up that I am not getting.

Do anyone have any advise

Hi Edward

Have you talked with your uplines? I realize that one of the key to succeed in GDI is Team Working.
I encourage you to talk about that with your upline.
He or she will help you. That's my advice.

Guy
www.onehotconcept.ws

Hello GDI Leaders,

What I learned along time ago from my mentor and friend is that you must continue to educate yourself.

This means to have a budget set up for Network Marketing or book on the industry.

You should concentrate on areas which my be weak areas for you and your business.

Understand this is 10.00  a month business but would you just spend the 10.00 dollars to advertise.

I don't think so this includes coming to the free trainings which are given throughout the week.

Set time aside each day to become a better relationship building partner with your serious downline.

Lastly, qualify people for your time and no when to say to a prospect that having a home business is not for everyone.

Take care,

Howie Martell

We all have to start somewhere and yes your upline is a great place to get helpful information and tips on getting started,
 Not to mention this great forum!
If you need some other traffic check out my profile

The best of luck to you and yours

Hi there I was wondering if anyone had any useful advertising strategies
that they can share with me? If so I would really appreciate that.  :)

Hi all, I am new here and all of these ideas are awesome.  There are a few that I will implement but the one that I will really like to know how to do is post my site on other high traffic website. Any help doing this I do appreciate.  Thanks all.

Vince

Hi Vince,

Several ways to "post" your site to high traffic websites:
1)use traffic exchanges (thousands of people are surfing it daily)
2)comment on blogs with high traffic (just search google for related blogs)
3)register at forums and promote your site with your forum signature
4)social bookmarking your site at stumble upon, reddit, digg or delicious
5)submit your site to directories (dmoz etc)
