hi kyra,

i only joined gdi last week, firstly i would like to say that i believe that the gdi program at face value is excellent, i am very entusiastic about being part of it, i have been involved with many different oppertunities over the last few years, only to end up being disappointed,

i already have 5 members in my downline, i have sent out 2 advertising campaigns, both are slightly different, ill explain,

campaign 1

this campaign was sent to only 300 targeted emails, they were all in the advertising section, from this 300 i managed to get 168 page views, of these about 6 or 7 watched the movie and 3 signed up,

campaign 2

my second campaign was sent to a mixture of people from the buisinss oppertuinities section, this campaign is still ongoing, but already i know it wont be as good as the first, i explain why later, this campaign is a mixture of targeted text ads and targeted emails, so far i have had over a thousand page views but only 2 have joined, going by my first campaign results this is a dissapointing conversion ratio,

the reason

the reason why c2  is not as good as c1 is as follows, c2 was sent to buisness opertunities and c1 was sent to normal advertising sections, but the main reason i think is, c1 was sent to www.my.ws  and  c2 was sent to www.website.ws

conclusion

from this excercise my advice is send your leads to www.my.ws  and not  www,website.ws  the reason for this is that the www.website.ws  tells the prospect what the oppertunity is all about with out watching the movie, whereas the www.my.ws doesnt tell them anything without watching the movie, so if they really want to know what it is all about they must watch the movie first, which has more chance of selling to them than if they read the info page themselves, the only downside to directing your leads to my.ws is that you cant see what hits you get on this page where you can on the wesite.ws page, perhaps this should be looked into and a hit counter be placed on the my.ws page
i hope i have been helpful to some of you, but i must say i am not an expert on internet marketing,
