Hello,
I am new to the program since November 2007. My upline basically doesn't exist. I have posted flyers just about everywhere, purchased the
10 invites (which I find a joke) only 2 responded. Posted on Craigslist - which now I find out that you are not suppose to post there if an MLM.
I have posted on BackPage.com and now it won't even let me post there!!! I am just looking to find a little downline. Since I have a brain injury
it is hard to do much. Any help will be useful.
Thanks,
Hello Susanna
I know how frustrating it can be to start building your downline and also with an upline who seem to not care, but what counts is from you down, not from you up, don't despair, it took me sometime to have enough people in my business to even break even, but don't be disheartened, here are a few methods I use to promote my GDI business and hope they help in building a strong successful business, a thing all of us strive to do.
Fliers are good to do, as long as you can make them cheaply enough, it's always good to find someone who delivers local papers and maybe work out a deal with that person to put a flier in every newspaper that person delivers. You can download a nice looking flier from here:
http://www.1.ws/flyer/Business cards are good to have, you can hand them out to anyone, or leave them at places you visit, here is the place I use to make my own business cards, they only charge you for delivery which is only $9.95 for 250 cards which you can design your self, visit this link:
http://www.vistaprint.comAlso to find which classified places you can post in for mlm business ads, just google: free classified business, and you should get a few places you can advertise on for free, just pick 5 places you would like to advertise in, place your ads, and when it's time to renew they should send you an email telling you that your ad will expire soon and that you should log back in to renew them.
Ordering and showing dvd's is another good way to get potential sign ups, but you will have to place an ad stating that if anyone wants more information about GDI to contact you for a dvd, but make sure they are interested and also send a return envelope with the dvd and ask them to please return the dvd after watching it, so you can send it onto others without always having to buy more.
One thing that I use and use often is placing an ad in my local newspaper, I run 3 consecutive ads for 3 weeks, that cost me $22, our local paper reaches over 100,000+ people and have had a few sign up from using this media.
And when ever you get interested one's who have given you a request for more information on GDI and have also given there first and last name, always enter them into the invite system, let GDI send a business invitation on your behalf, so always try and get peoples first and last name, so you can use the invite system, and make sure they are willing to give it, if they are not, then use this link for them to view the movie without entering no details:
http://movie.ws/USERNAME/Income&SeekerAnother thing which is always effective and free to do is word of mouth, when you build up your belief in GDI and see that with GDI there is no way you can lose out, unless you do nothing then yeah sure it would never build. Talk to people about it, and always have plenty of your business cards to hand to them after discussing a bit about GDI, but always make sure you research GDI first, so as to know what you are talking about and also you can answer questions they may have on the spot.
But most of all, "DON"T QUIT" if you apply any one of those things mentioned above on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis, you will see your downline grow, and don't forget, teach them the same methods you use, it's all about sharing with your downline everything, everything they need to know to succeed as well, cos without them we are going no where.
I wish you success in GDI in the coming future.
