What are the basic things to do to be successful?

[Mahamed Daud]

Hi, I'm already in the business for seven months. I have seen several websites like GDI Made Easy and 411 Wealth that promote the business. (Sorry, got to mention the names).

The websites are very impressive but I am worried because I don't know how to create a website like that.

So, without having such a sofisticated website, or may be not even having one, what can we do to be successful?

You need to take a look at websites that HELP others to be successful an emulate them. Never ever copy them but look at the navigation, content etc and make your site better.

DO NOT try to sell the product  or the opportunity to people because nobody wants to be sold anything, they want to BUY it and that means helping them make the desicion to buy themselves.

You need to develope your website one page at a time. I know you want to do it quickly we all do but slowely is best unless you want to farm it out to a freelancer at elance or sriptlance.

Remember.

Help others and you in turn will be helped.

I have a website like that, check my profile. It replicates, which means it will input your GDI ID , name, etc. so that when you promote it brings people into your downline =) 

If you have any questions let me know.

 Hi Muhamed,
                      I understand ,But you can just play around with building a web siite start with just one page and you will learn as you go . You can build an effective website, the thing is to just get started not many of us can build a website as sophisticated as 411.                                                Much Success

What ever you do, you need to make it duplicatable.  If you start building websites for your downline, they don't learn how and can't teach their downline.  So I like the idea of giving a simple tutorial and lettling them use it to build a simple website. 

As an example, I was struggling for months trying to build a site and then this week, I found an emal from my sponsor that I hadn't read (shame on me).  In it he gave a URL to a simple tutorial that he put together and lo and behold in the last 2 days, I built my website.  It has more than one page, some under construction, but I am pleased and excited again about GDI.

Thanks Dave,
Would you mind sharing that bit of info you got to help you build
your website It would help a lot of other newbies

While you are having trouble with your website, you can still advertise the GDI business, using capture pages.  You may also check other business opp. programs that incorporate GDI into their own business model.  There are probably more than three of them.  I use a couple of them myself.  They are free to use, because you are already a GDI member, you just put in your ID.  They will give you an entire website, just upload it to your GDI host with FTP & then you've got a pro site for free, & you didn't even build it.   Then you promote that website or their lead capture pages, & people like what they see, and also sign up for GDI, and whatever other programs that might be there.  You can PM me for more info.

Aloha!

I have a few questions about what to do when you have new members on your downline.

-Do I need to contact a member who is a prospect and a member who is in a trial period?
-What kind of information do I provide them with?

-What are better ways of promoting my GDI business?

Thanks,

Darcie Savella

I have just started GDI I guess... been a few days. Still in my trial. I feel a little unguided as my topline doesn't reply to emails. I feel a little abandonned and I am losing faith.. even though i really DO NOT want to give up. I almost wish to be a part of someone elses downline just so i have a little bit of support.

I also emailed out about 50 emails to friends and none of which have been successful.

if anyone could help I would feel a little better

Someone is listening.

Your frustration is understandable and I invite you to give this opportuntiy a "REAL TRY", that means staying at it for a minimum of 90 days and doing those things that produce activity for you.

If you need help keep checking out info you will find here at the Forum.  Many of your questions will be answered.  What I love about the Forum is that we have people who care and share to make success possible for all.

Not sure about how to do this business.  We have several members like myself who have dedicated their websites to help train others to do this business.  Check out www.GDI-Made-Easy.ws  of www.Wealth411.ws Great info and training materials that could change the way you feel at this time.  I wish you much success in the up coming weeks and months.

Your Partner In Success,

I always make contact when I get an email saying I have a new prospect.  I don't give a huge email, just something short saying thanks for visiting GDI, give them your email and tell them they are welcome to email any time with questions.

I also send an email to my new members, no matter what level they are in.

I hear of so many people complaining their upline don't help them out, so I always contact my downline and offer help.

Don't give up - help your team, and encourage them to do the same with their team.

www.stayhome-mum.com has a 'gdi training centre' section, which has a section on how to promote GDI - it could be helpful for you to have a look at.

Hey, I am very new to this ! Infact, this is my first day signing up...

I have a question, will members be able to cancel anytime ? or is there a certain period of time where they are obligated to subscribe?


I have read a few posts and found that it is really hard to actually have someone join.  Is this true ? does anyone one have any good tips for a beginner like me ?


Hopefully I can make some money here !

Thanks a lot in advance!


Oh ! how do I just forward the post so that it goes straight to the video ?  Will there be a Cantonese version of the video?

[DPro]

Hi Wil Yiu ,

Welcome!
Yes, you can cancel anytime. Each member who signs up will be given 7 days free trial then your credit card will charged $10 monthly.

It's not hard to get someone to join if you are talking to the right person.
Was it hard for you to sign up? I always believe that if i was persuaded to sign up, there must be thousands out there who are like me.
So no worries! You are definitely gonna make money 

At the moment there isn't a Cantonese version, there's a Mandarin version though.

Cheers,
Melissa

Hi, Mark here again.
This is a follow up from my last post.  I should have explained better.
If your having trouble building your own website, you can still use your domain name, just point it to a GDI lead capture page.  You can point it to wherever you want really.  Doesn't have to be a gdi site.  It can be a page you make, or something else entirly.  Your domain name always stays visible. 

http://www.homeforwork.ws/html.html

This link gives you the code to use for using your own domain name and having any site you want show up while your domain name always stays visible in the browser address bar.

Copy the code and save it as index.html

Edit it in notepad or something like that.  Change the url that is located near the bottom of the source code to whever you want your domain to point to. Like a GDI lead capture page.  This is where I put in my url rotator link.  That single url will display one of several other gdi members webpages while my domain name stays the same.  Thats how I help my downline.  I just use my domain name and other members sites show up when its clicked.  All the websites are the same link but a different user name, so they all look the same. 

Save again.  index.html

Change the title and other meta tag descriptions as well.  Save whenever you make a change.

You can preview it in your internet browser by clicking "file"  "open"  It should work.
Then you just need to upload it to the GDI server.

To upload your index.html file to the server, you must have your .ws email account set up.  When that is done, you must make sure that your gdi ftp.hosting account is set. You will recieve an email in your .ws email account once your hosting is ready to recieve your index.html file.  The email will contain login information so that you can upload your file.

You need an ftp program to do it with.  FileZilla its free.

I hope this helps you guys.  Have a great day!
