Hi,

I am curious as to what marketing strategies you have tried thus far? Have you discussed your goals with your upline sponsor? 

All my best,
Norma

K, I think if you take a look in the "marketing" forum, you might get some good ideas, if you're looking to try new things or just polish up the things you're already trying.  There are some really good conversations going on in that forum right now!!

Sorry to hear you're not having a lot of luck, but do hang in there.  Keep at whatever you're doing, if you haven't been doing those things for very long, as being persistent is key.  However, personally, I like to try out new strategies along with the ones that I've tried that have worked.  Reading here in the forums helps me a lot, because sometimes I'm being persistent and trying really hard, and I still don't feel like I'm getting the results I want... but then I'll read a really inspiring post from someone here, or I'll get a really great idea from something someone else has posted, and then I'm off and running with tons of ideas!

Keep your chin up.  We all get discouraged.  The key is to keep on keeping on and the discouraging feeling will pass!

I chose ”Email” – I used an AutoResponder and sign 1 -2  up every week…   The best is to speak with people, but I live in Spain ( Torre del Mar ) and nobody can understand English, so right now I only can used Email – But soon, very soon it come in Spanish, I just waiting – it like Christmas…..

Kiss from Spain,

Carsten

Phone calls were not an option on the pole.
I put No idea too, I've used several things but don't know which pulls them in and which don't. No way to tell.

Hi. Thanks for your advice. I do try to check up on the forums pretty often. Well, I joined at the beginning of June, so it's been 2 months now and still - nothing. I do still have hope but it can be very frustrating - especially when certian members of my family are waiting to see the positive results - which haven't came yet.

I just can't understand why most people get a few signups in their first week just using something simple as email marketing, when I'm doing that and more for 2 months and no luck. Maybe it will start to pick up hopefully. Meanwhile, I'm especially open to any suggestions. 

Thanks & I wish you success!

Hey everyone, I just ordered and received 20,000 fresh new leads of people who, within the past month, submitted their information and are requesting more info on a home based business, preferably marketing. I am in the process of not only inviting them all to GDI but will also mail postcards to them and will make phone calls to those who watch the video.

I will make replies to this post on as time goes on and the success I will hopefully achieve from doing this. Has anyone else had success with huge bulk lead packages like this?

[DanEvans]

Everyday I see a commercial on tv about getting into a home based business. You go to the the website, fill out their forms, and they sell your information to numerous home business companies. My question is why can't or doesn't GDI do the same thing except make the commercial specific to GDI and then sell us those leads instead of the junk leads they sell us now? I know I would buy those leads in a heartbeat and I'm sure everybody else here would to!

Hello,

Not everyone... I would never buy Leads... I would just add the "As seen on TV" slogan to my own Lead Capture Systems...
Why pay someone to do someting you can do better yourself???

[BillM]

what have people found to get the best leads? pay per click. pre paid leads? if people are paying for leads what is the best one with the greatest signup?

[Guy M]

Hi,

I use splash pages and free advertising systems to generate free leads.

The advantages of this method are numerous and I get a steady stream of 2 to 3 people signing up for my lists per day. I then use these people to bring me more fresh leads. Some of the advantages are that the leads are:

1] Fresh
2] Not tampered with
3] Very targeted
4] Virtualy cost-free

If anyone is interested in how I do this, I will be happy to send you some info on the methods that I follow.

Keep it up. Don't lose hope.

Guy

This is what I have been doing that is working, and making me additional income.

I use a free gateway program offer to bring in new leads.  I get them in my free program, I build a relationship, then I tell them about GDI.  I have them duplicate my process with each lead or sign up by setting up my GDI website in which they can do the same thing.  I've gotten pretty good results, and I am also building another income stream in addition to GDI from doing it this way.    If you haven't used your domain for a website yet, this would be a great way to utilize it to make money.

[Jason Klein]

I use ad tracking to show me what works and what doesn't.  From that I was surprised to find that over 90% of my signups come from Google Adwords.  Google is quite simply awesome!

Link exchanges are also good, but I avoid lead companies.  (lead companies dig up  "bottom of the barrel" type people and then charge you through the nose for the contact info.)

However, I don't send my prospects to the GDI site.  So many thousands of other people use that exact same site.  Instead I send them to a generic but catchy lead capture page that builds a relationship with them first.  My page tells the prospect WHY  it will be different with me and HOW they will succeed with me.

You could build a site such as this yourself, but I use a free site with a built in autoresponder and just forward my .ws site to that instead.

All the best,
Jason
