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."

I will start by saying patience and good attitude is VERY important. I personally will not spend my time or energy on people who don’t have those personality traits. There are too many people out there looking for success without any or little work and keeping going from one program to another.
Here’s my tip in promoting GDI. DON’T DO IT! Spend that time promoting you. My one main goal is to promote me and by promoting me people will visit my website (this just happens to be a GDI Website.ws site).
Regarding steps, it doesn’t matter if you spend one day writing a press release (search engines love these), do a youtube video another day, a podcast another day and include everything in a blog (also loved by search engines).
What matters is content. The web is sick of advertisements, but hungry for content.
I tell people I get paid to be me. How hard is that? No one can ever duplicate me because there is only one me, however you can get paid to be you. What really interests you? What are the things you like to talk about with other people? What are you passionate about (don’t say money)?
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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

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

Hi Kimberly:
Every company/opportunity out will get bad press. This is because every company/opportunity have affiliates who lie, who are lazy and have unrealistic expectations.
I met a woman online recently who responded to one of my ads. She told me she was in GDI, but she quit “because it is a scam” (in her heart she really believes this). She told me her sponsor promised her $4000 a month after 4 months. She was heartbroken and told me she can’t reach her sponsor. She has nothing nice to say to GDI and never will. This is not GDI’s fault, but the affiliate who promotes their business this way.
I know another person in GDI who promises the people who join him that he will build their business for them. Affiliates have to stop doing this.
I share these stories with you Kimberly because where ever you go, it will always happen. It doesn’t matter what opportunity you are in, it will happen.
You must follow your heart. I know in my heart GDI is the easiest opportunity out there. Besides the unique and easy to remember domain name, I need hosting service so I can upload business building presentations which can be played 24 hours a day. Also in my 10 year experience, I do not know of a better business building tool than the 7 minute Flash Presentation. It is short, entertaining and easy to understand. It is the best and I feel it every day.
My honest advice, if you are not happy here and feel the grass is greener on the other side, GO FOR IT. Follow your heart but ALWAYS keep your options (and eyes) open.
I hope this helps and wish you the best,
Alan

Yup you can tell too much but you do need repitition to get the bulb to go off I totally agree. I do drip campaigns and the people who are signing up are people who have seen my ads a couple times and finally responded. Drip campaigns and writing effective ads that don't reveal too much is the way to go to build this business. I plan on doing some recorded trainings this weekend and upload them to my site. I will have a link to GDI-Made-Easy because I think the site is awesome. You did an amazing job. Alan

If you can't get someone to try the business, you are probably telling them too much. I have noticed people share WAY too much information. Create curiosity and mystery so someone will actually view the GDI Flash Presentation.
I never say .ws or .com in my ads as the Flash Presentation does everything. Just focus on getting as many people as possible to see it. Either a light bulb goes off or it doesn't.
I plan on doing some stuff on my site this weekend. One of the things I plan to do is show people how to write an effective ad.
All the best, Alan

Hi Tan:
I will add it. You can not sell GDI in 15 to 20 seconds (the usual lifespan on a traffic exchange). You can HOWEVER give something of value for free to capture a person's information, then network with that person and introduce them to GDI.
I have had success with GDI because I treat it like a serious business. I answer my phone, I return phone calls and I return e-mails. I know people who won't do what I just listed.
The honest truth is "successful people do what unsuccessful don't want to do." It does take patience, but if you keep plugging away you find others like yourself and eventually you do achieve success. Success does not happen over night.
I don't know of an easier business than GDI.
I hope this helps.
Alan

Hi Scott:
I like to think of it as "networking." I have been networking before GDI was introduced. When I introduced GDI to people, I immediately had people in my organization.
FYI - The best way to network with someone else is just to sit back and listen to what they have to say. Everyone wants to be heard and when you take the time to ACTUALLY listen to them, they will look at what you have to offer.
Another point, people should be networking right now with the people in their organization. I love GDI, I know in my heart it is the easiest opportunity out there. I get paid to be ME. How hard is that? But here is the most important question, what great opportunity may be introduced in 5 years from now (or ten). People need to be networking.

Hi Eli:
Here is the thing about Traffic Exchanges, a visitor will only see your site for 15 to 20 seconds and then move on to the next site. I don't think a prospect will get a good idea about the potential of GDI in those seconds.
However, you can give away some of value (ebook, webcash, adblast) for free to capture that person's information and then network with that person.
It all comes down to networking. Denis Waitley (I am a fan) said years ago, if you are not networking, you may not be working. It's all about relationship building.
I hope this helps,
Alan

Hi Brian:
It is all about relationships. Back in 2000 (can't believe 6 years now) I started building a list. When I was introduced to GDI back in May 2004, I sent information about GDI to my list and I immedately had sign ups. It is all because of the work I did 6 years ago.
One of the reasons why people fail at this business is that they just talk "Join GDI and make lots of money" and go on. This does not work. This just turns people off and they will never look at GDI.
If, however you take the time to ask someone how they are and actually listen to them for a few moments, they will be glad that you did and your chance to have them look at GDI is much better. All I want from people is to see the GDI Flash Presentation. That's it.
Alan

Hi Everyone:
I wouldn't try to convince anyone of anything. If I have to convince someone to join, then I will have to convince that person to work. It is not worth my time or effort. All I want from anyone is to see the GDI Flash Presentation. That's it. Either a light bulb goes off or it does not. All I have done from day one is to get people to see the flash presentation.
Regarding "online presence," best thing for any business is for a person to be themselves. That's it. I promote me (Alan Zibluk aka "The Internet Guy"). That's it. I don't promote GDI but I promote me and by promoting me, I am building GDI. People actually call me.
To go along with a popular phrase, "I am keeping it real."
The biggest mistake I see people making is that they are trying to be someone else. Just be you.
Alan

Hi David:
I am south of Wallingford. I work in New Haven but live in Bethany, CT. I am about 25 minutes away.
I have been involved with GDI since May 2004 and it is definately worth it.
All the best,
