Here are some ideas that you may or may not have come up with. They are just some ways to better promote G.D.I. and equip sponsors of all experience levels better. They mostly pertain to Site-Builder:

1.)     It would be nice to have the two G.D.I. videos available for people to place on their site. There should be some customizable video borders and they should be moveable. This will help to educate new prospects without turning them off with a sign-up page (not to say that the sign-up pages aren’t appealing, it is just more convenient for sponsors to do this.)

2.)    For the sponsor’s sign-up page, meaning the page on their “.ws” site, it would be cool to have a variety of different “Sign-Up” buttons. These buttons would direct the viewer to the sign-up page. Overall, adding this option will allow ordinary people another chance to look professional with the aid of the Site-Builder.

3.)    I like the cool plug-ins, “Email” and “Guestbook”, but it would be nice if we could somehow treat them like text, where we could move them around, so that we could add more info to that page, without the page being completely dedicated to one plug-in. Also, more plug-ins like “Instant Message” or “Text Me” would be a really nice feature. I know that Yahoo allows you to talk through a chat box and send messages to phones. If G.D.I. came out with something like this, that would only enhance the product further.

4.)     Blogs are efficient ways to let people know what’s up. Perhaps G.D.I. can come out with a specially designed blog that domain owners could put on their site. Also, maybe introducing a calendar of some kind would be beneficial for updating people.

5.)    When a new prospect signs-up, they get an automated message of some kind. Maybe there should be a feature where affiliates can make more personal messages, like “Hey, how are you today?” type messages that are still automated but are a lot more personable. If these messages could be disguised to actually look like personal email, then the new sign-up will feel like they are important, which should be the goal for any sponsor.

6.)    There hasn’t been a 100% proven way to persuade somebody about G.D.I. because everyone is different. Fliers, however, have seemed to be an effective means of intriguing people enough to go to a site. What G.D.I. should do is produce a few well made fliers that people who are just starting out can print and distribute. This will only make the whole G.D.I. experience easier and more enjoyable.

7.)    Tools would be nice to add to a website, like the income calculator. This will increase peoples’ awareness of the true money making potential every time they visit a “.ws” site.

8.)    This idea is one that I have previously shared with you. It is the “Sign-Up Randomizer” feature that would not only help the sponsor, but the sponsor’s downline as well. You see, with this feature, the sponsor can assign traffic to the people that he/she wants to. All you would have to do is insert a few usernames from your downline and the sign-up button’s link will change every time someone click’s it. This helps the people who just started build their initial downline without doing any work! It couldn’t be a better deal.

9.)    And finally, are you aware of the full length DVD being present on MySpace? If not you should check it out on my page at www.myspace.com/masmusicplz.

       

This is what I have come up with for now. Let me know if you guys like any of these ideas. More on the way!

I have a great idea! Let's put every single thing that G.D.I. should improve on this thread. Perhaps Chip Snyder or someone will see it and take note of it. It's like you said Rick, they should keep striving to make their system better for the affiliates. I love the system already, but constant improvement breeds unlimited success. So, who ever reads this and has an idea, please put it down.

 I was thinking about how selfless G.D.I. has proven to be, yet there is another thing that would make it more selfless. It is a system that still needs to be constructed, so really it is just a concept. It goes like this: You open a website, like say www.PrivateFortune.ws and for the sign-up/video link you see www.website.ws/member01. Now, suppose that you refreshed the page or were to revisit the site at a later time, the link will have changed to www.website.ws/member02. These members would be the affiliates in the first four layers of my downline. You see, what I want to do is help my downline build their initial downline by channeling all of my site's traffic into their accounts. Everytime people see my site, there will be a cycling through of my affiliates to help them gain exposure, without them having to do any work. This not only helps you be a better sponsor, but it helps you earn commissions as well. This concept could be expanded. Suppose that there was a weekly contest comparable to the leaderboard and the prize was a day's woth of my site's traffic instead of cash bonuses. I hope that I was clear enough to be understood. Let me know what you guys think of this idea.
