Tips, Suggestions & Advice!

Help.

I used site builder to begin building my site.  If you use the "in-house" site builder, you automatically are going to be hosted by website.ws (GDI), correct?  If so, then why is my site just showing the INDEX of  parent directory when I go to my website via the internet.  Any help you can give me is appreciated. 

Margie,

Did you publish your pages?  And did you make them visible?  If so, what is the website address?

Go to "GDI Made Easy" at the following URL. There is a section in there that shows you how to build your site step by step. Good Luck.

Good practice this. You should always stay on theme though. In other words if you are selling GDI stay with the computer/internet theme. Don't add casinos and underwater basket weaving.

Stress this enough and it will catch on ...remember that we are primarily marketing e-business solutions so dilly dallying with stuff that makes you feel good like music! is a web faux paw unless it is easy listening and voice over to help propagate them through your page...

Jazz or easy listening...not blaring sounds...soft rock...soft country rock...soft r & b...JUST KEEP IT DOWN!!!

Hello,

Support Team:

Do you plan on adding kid related templates to the sitebuilder?

This would be an excellent thing to have for those of us
that will to market towards moms... I think it would certainly
help us target a huge market.. ONLINE there really are not
many kid related templates.. AND it would certainly be a good
selling point.. even more templates for families, etc.. like the
baby one you have in there already...

Thank you,
Stacy Perez   

Stacy I think this is an excellent idea...Teachers are great for this too...So how about some "school" templates?

In order to ad content, which the search engines value highly, I added a Travel and Adventrue page, with the idea that folks who have a GDI income have the resources and time to Travel.  Since I am pretty new it is a work in progress, but it allows me to hook up with link exchanges to hotels, travel agencies and that sort of thing.  It is not computer related.. but it works in with the theme of having the time do do what you want.. I suppose that having the time and money to buy scuba gear, basket weaving materials and that sort of thing could be woven into adding underwater basket weaving.. it is all in how you .. integrate.. so if you have something you love, there is no reason you cannot add a page like.. Now that I am a GDI affiliate, I have time/money for my favorite thing.. collecting bottle caps. or whatever. 

It is true that you do not want to go too far afield, but there are as many reasons to have a website as there are people.

I love your ideas, Maurine!! Keep sharing them!! I agree that we can all find areas of our own interests to help market to others who share in the same things. Sports, hobbies, crafts and etc. are just some of the ideas that come to my mind. Thank you for getting me thinking in new areas.

All my best,
Norma

hmmm thinks jim..... just decribe how to make hidden pages  not sure ..thinks your computer acts like the server for the hidden  pages  then .. not sure  cause newbie here  really don't understand enough yet.... but as for need of hidden pages  a big yes ....not all ppl are going to use there website to sell GDI 100%... assume some ppl will sell items not meant for children to be curious and see but that is perfectly legal to sell ....freedom of website  is a plus for all concerned.... myself I have a website just to help computer , chat, website, be adding .WS  help and links also. ...... like to have a hidden page for typo bloppers, which are fun to read but might be offensive if  others saw it and don't understand. ... another is a direct link to a page only keeps confussion low, ...nich marketing  a big plus reason .... myself I talk to a 1000 ppl  wants to sell 900 plus ppl......thinks the GDI plan is great......and more tools  in website the better .....possiable  cost & space comes to mind for this feature on server end ... surely other factors needs to be dealt with....  thank you ...

Hi Norma,  Long time no see
Good to see a familiar face.   

I have been really busy but haven't forgotten you all. 

Glad to see everyone still helping each other.
I have passed on some suggestion to support today and they are being passed on to the committee, so wait and see what happens    I hope it will help members and staff if it works.

I have at last completed building my site to a level I feel worthy of spending money on promoting.  I have used Microsoft front page and uploaded the files by FTP.  I got some advice from a web technician I have made friends with in another forum and he it made it so easy with the set up instructions he typed for me.

If anyone wants to build their site this way and has any queries, email me and I will help if I can.
There is also lots of other help available on my site, plus my contact details.

Best of luck and success to you all,
Kay

I am seriously new here,I live in Los Angeles Ca. I just started my site www.laughon.ws and am having trouble putting in a banner,it just shows up as code.
Also my theory on any kind of advertising is catch the attention quickly.Then give the info in small bursts.Personally I am going for funny(funny commercials are remembered.

[KayReeve]

Hi Douglass and very welcome,

When you are on the WEb build page, you need to scroll to the bottom of the frame.  There is a tag that says HTML.  Click on this, paste your code there and then return to the build/preview tag.


Message in general to anyone with difficulties.....
I have also found that if you can't access some of the buttons on the toolbar, check for a pop up blocker.  You well need to allow access to GDI web builder when changing colours, hyperlinks etc as the colour charts and forms are for some reason classed as Pop-ups.

I hope you find this helpful,
Kay

I have a question:

Are we allowed to copy interesting text from this forum and put it on our webpage as a support for our new members on our downline? I think that would be great and would atract more people to join the GDI opportunity when they visit our site.

regards

[RichardWilson]

Please let me know what I'm doing right or wrong:
I know alot of new people because i'm one of the new, who have know idea of what to do NEXT! I have got my website up and running, please look at it and let me know what you think and how I can improve it

 www.bluevoodoomusic.ws

 As for myself I don't have 3,0000,0000 friends to sign up and I don't have any money what so ever to invest, I live off of 250 dollars a week, I am behind on all my bills and need a way to learn how to get out of this, I am looking for others advice, that may help all of us.
 I have learned along the way that if you ask someone that has done it before, they will give "WELL I'M ASKING" I don't want to get rich, I want to know how to make a decent living with this, please anyone help me.!
I have 1 on my downline who is just as confused as myself, I don't know what to tell her!. I want to make this happen for the both of us. But I don't know why nothing is happening.
 I'M  sending to get idea's from everyone, remember when "YOU AND I DO MEAN YOU" who are makeing money at this first started, how confused you where well we"by that I mean the newbie" are still that way!
I listen to the presentation's and I am putting in the time but nothing is happening! please we all need the help of experience and you know who you are, so let us know.

 I have written this because I don't want others as well as myself to become disallutioned by this I believe this can work, but I don't know how to, or don't know how to make it work and I am doing my best not, just expecting for others to just make it happen. but putting the actual time into it and nothing is still happening.

 I have more than just an internet product to offer to people, but I don't know how to market this idea. please help! is'nt this forum set up exactly for this

Yes, I advertise my other businesses on my page.   

I had a signature for my other business and could not remove it and forgot to take it off when I sent a message to my upline and was told that I should not advertise any other business except our business.

[RodB]

I assume you mean here on the boards. If this is the case the answer is no for the sigs. If you mean your GDI website - you can put anything you like or advertise any known product.
