Hi Deb,

Great post!  I'm familiar with the Traffic Exchanges and I've had some leads generated by advertising my GDI links, but have had very little success in getting them beyond the free trial period.  Do you have any recommendations?

Best Regards,

Rick

This seems to be the place to be.  I guess the most difficult aspect of this is finding the right marketing strategy or should I say methods. There are a lot of free methods to advertise.  But, I haven't tried any for my GDI business yet.  There are the Social/Business networks.  I read an article based on the recently completed Affiliate Summit East that concluded around August 11, that said that every lecture on marketing seemed to focus on the social networking.  So, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and all the others popping up might be a great way to let people know of the GDI opportunity.

I also advertise some other things using Article marketing and Text Ad marketing.  Supposedly, if you know what you're doing you can place real high with the search engines without having to worry about PPC advertising. I'm just getting started and still have a lot to learn, but I'm willing to share that information if I find something successful.

I just think this is the best way to go... because you are opening your market up to the world; and not just to family, friends, and co-workers.

I'm always looking for someone to share ideas on how to do this better.  I currently only have 5 members in my first line and I think two in my second level.  I know this can very successful.  It's a great business.

My name is Rick.  I'm not exactly new to GDI, but I am new to the Forum.  Wow...this thing is great.  It looks like a great place to learn different marketing techiques, and pass on ideas as well.

Best of luck to all,

Rick Samara
