SiteBuilder as a Selling Point

4 Comments

Based on a poll we just ran on our Facebook page, many of you take advantage of SiteBuilder to create and maintain your websites. SiteBuilder is GDI’s built in website building tool and is designed so anyone can build a site in just minutes. Because of this, SiteBuilder is a great “selling” point. But since GDI requires no selling, we’ll call it a great marketing point. Read on for SiteBuilder’s big benefits to help you market it.

It’s Simple

No code and no special skills required, SiteBuilder allows you to build entire website pages with just a few clicks of the mouse. As long as someone has basic computer knowledge, they can build a great site with our SiteBuilder. For someone hesitant of all the work that comes with a website, this is huge selling point.

It’s Quick

Many people will think they don’t have the time to devote to building an entire website, but SiteBuilder changes that. GDI’s SiteBuilder does so much of the work for you that you can build several pages out completely in a short period of time. Better yet, with no code, there’s no need to constantly check back and make sure everything is working right. GDI’s SiteBuilder is designed to be hands off and glitch free once you build your site.

Templates

What is one reason SiteBuilder is so simple and so quick? Our templates. GDI’s professionally designed templates take the guess work out of designing your website. You can choose form template categories based on your site’s theme and then chose from specific page designs. We’ve taken the guess work out, but left you with so much freedom to customize your site.

GDI Tools

Once you have the text, photos, and design of your page set up, it’s time to add the extras to make your page stand out. Ads, banners, videos and more can help your page be successful. But you don’t have to scour the internet and learn how to add this all to your page. GDI Tools in SiteBuilder provides you with banners, buttons, movies and more. All of these can be added to your page with a simple “drag and drop.”

10 Quick Tips to Manage Your Online Reputation and Work Towards Longevity

3 Comments

Two things that are extremely important in affiliate marketing are your reputation and the length of your relationships with team members. Longevity and a great reputation will help to grow your business and keep it strong into the future. To celebrate Friday, we’re sharing 10 quick tips to achieve both.

Online Reputation

  1. Google your full name, screen name, and email to see what’s out there. Work to address any bad feedback there may be and promote and share the good.
  2. Get active on social media. Share news, advice, and information that may be helpful to anyone looking for an affiliate opportunity.
  3. Respond to tweets, emails, and Facebook postings aimed out you. This shows not only are you listening, but you care enough to respond.
  4. Share your successes. If you’ve had a great week, month, year or whatever be sure to share in on your blog and broadcast it to anyone listening.
  5. Be a thought leader. This means staying ahead of trends and actively sharing information on new tactics and approaches.

Longevity

  1. Look at your downline as part of your team and work together with them to build mutual success.
  2. Reach out to your team before they need your help. Check in with each team member to assure them they are valuable.
  3. Respond to complaints and questions quickly. An unanswered question or plea for help can be the tipping point for many team members to give up.
  4. Get inventive. Don’t be satisfied with just doing things the same old way. Get creative with your team and share new ideas and build new plans for success.
  5. Set goals for your team. How can you truly succeed if you don’t know what your goals are? Work with your team to continually set new and future goals.
