As I look at posts on this forum and at the websites in use by my downline, I am struck by one obvious fact. Many people are simply pushing the business opportuniity, trying to get others to sign up for GDI in hopes that THOSE people will, in turn, push the business opportunity to others.
What so many people forget in their quest to "grow their downline" is that they actually have a real, genuine product to sell. Many of the people they recruit who simply want to make money will fall by the wayside, but the people who actually have use for the GDI domain name they buy will not only probably stay as customers for a while, creating residual income, but, as satisfied customers themselves, will be in an excellent position to possibly make YOU more money later!
After all, what is the best, and cheapest, form of advertising?
Word of mouth, of course. Better yet, word of mouth from a
satisfied customer.
And, who often makes the best distributor for a product? Why, the satisfied customer who realizes that he or she has no problem telling others about how great the product is, how it served his or her business, and how it also presents the opportunity to make a couple of bucks as well.
With this all in mind, I just sent my downline the following email:
SUBJECT: What do these people have to do with GDI?
Walter, Christina, Anneta, Mike, Pete, Carlton.
Seems like a random list of names to you. However, to me they are potential GDI clients NOT found on the Internet!
I stopped in a local bakery in a small town the other day. On the counter were stacks and displays of business cards belonging to local people. None had an email address or website on it, yet it seemed to me that the businesses (insurance, para-legal, art gallery, motorcycle repair, pool service, car sales) could really use their own website, and, after all, these people were actively trying to promote their businesses.
There were a couple of email addresses on the cards, but they were Yahoo and SBCGlobal...generic.
Most of these people don't feel they can afford to get a website, yet we know different. We know that it is simple, and relatively cheap, to get your own domain name and email address that reflects your business, AND build the website yourself, without having to pay a website designer, and then host that website for $10 a month.
I bet Anneta would like to have lampasasartgallery.ws or originalpaintings.ws. Maybe Mike would like to trade his email address at hotmail.com for
mike@mikescycles.ws or something similar. You know, I think I'll give them a call, send them a letter, or send them a DVD.
What do you think?
Could you make a few more sales of your product if you think outside the Internet?
Have a great day.

P.S. If you think this idea has merit, why not pass this to YOUR downline.
