Hi Howard
Couldn't agree with you more...you've given me inspiration to "go back to basics" and I agree with all the other posts that there is too much emphasis on making money as opposed to a superior product. Once your sign-up understands the value of the product, only then would they get excited about selling it and only then will the money come!
I am also new and thought I would make a killing through google ads...well surprise surprise..so I am also going the route of first selling the product, second prove to your sign-up how valuable the product is, identify, train and assist the ones that are excited and after some long old fashioned hard work, sit back and enjoy the income!!!.....and please I am not knocking the internet gurus coz they know what they're doing but for us newbies....hey one can be extremely creative just with old fashioned basics
Has anybody ever thought about a way we can assist one another from a geographical perspective with off-line marketing? ....we're scattered all over the world ( I'm in South Africa)...I don't know why I am saying this...just thinking aloud!

In response to William and Howard - with the advent of the internet many have forgotten that word of mouth and respected business referral leveraging is the best form of advertising.
The ones who have not forgotten keep doing it in the offline world. Time to move on - there is a great way to take advantage of what has always worked best in the days before the internet and incorporating it into the online world. Here is an article I have written that shows you how you can increase your reach for prospective customer in any business by 600% or more within a couple of weeks.
http://mikode.net/2013/09/24/how-can-mikode-help-local-businesses/I have been internet marketing for over 10 years, and have to say that GDI has treated me really well. If there is one big draw back for newbies in this business it is confusion over what methods they should use to recruit new customers. Advise comes from everywhere: PPC, PPV, CPA, List Building, website building, Capture Pages, Sales Campaigns, Sales Pages, Sales Funnels, SEO, Lead Generation, and on and on.
So how, a newbie may well ask do I keep it simple - and the answer to that is not so simple.
