Harnessing Trends: Working from Home

Leave a comment

downlineA recent study found that more and more Americans are working from home. Currently, around 3 million people in the US alone are working from home, not counting the millions more around the world doing the same. With so many people comfortable working from home, it’s a great time to build and grow your online business. But how exactly do you take advantage of this trend to grow your downline and your business? First you need to identify people within your network who are working from home. This can be easy to do using search features in LinkedIn and Facebook. Next, connect with these people and share the benefits of an online business in addition to working from home. Here’s a few ideas to do this:

  1. No commute time. Working from home means no commute and no waiting in traffic, which can add hours to the day. Those hours one would spend commuting can now be spent building your business. A few hours a day is all it takes to start building Income for Life. Share with prospective downline members that extra time can mean extra income.
  2. A connected lifestyle. When working from home, one is always connected whether it’s through laptop or smart phone. People get used to doing much of their fulltime work, shopping, scheduling and leisure time online. Harness this connectivity. Tell prospects who work online all day to take their lunch break to learn more about GDI. Once they’re interested, that lunch break and a few hours before or after their telecommuting job is all the time they need to start building their own business.
  3. Open to opportunities. Some people work from home in a traditional 9-5 job where they telecommute, while others piece together freelance work, contract work and more. Identify the second group of people within your network. Chances are they could use extra income and are open to new opportunities in their down time. Explain how GDI can create residual income to keep them building their own business even when they’re between projects.

Repeatable Results in Affiliate Marketing

4 Comments

It’s a part of one of our bonuses and a powerful tool, but do you know exactly what duplication means for GDI? When it comes to marketing your GDI opportunity and gaining new signups, duplication means simple and repeatable. It means that if you truly want to grow your downline and business that the way you market the opportunity has to be easy to understand and easy for those you sign up to recreate and get new sign ups themselves. A great way that duplication can be achieved is by sharing the 7 minute movie, sharing great content or talking about your favorite features. It doesn’t take too much effort for your downline to share the same 7 minute movie, great content and their own favorite features to get others interested and signed up. Then their new downline members can do the same thing. These are now repeatable results in affiliate marketing.

It may take a little time to figure out your best duplication system, but once you do it will make your work that much easier. Duplication is beneficial because it gives those around you the simple tools to excel with GDI. Find a way of marketing that works for you, that is simple, direct and can be done by anyone, then allow your new team members to use the same marketing duplication system to build both of your downlines. So get started on a simple and duplicable marketing strategy today!

How long have you been with GDI?

I have been with GDI since January of 2007.

 What made you join GDI?

I joined GDI because I needed a stable legitimate company that I could depend on. One that I knew would stand the test of time.

What is your relationship with your sponsor?

My sponsor helped me a lot getting started but eventually you need to get to the point where you are educating yourself on all the ways to grow your business. I believe that true success will come from hard work and a willingness to learn.

How much time do you spend building your GDI business each week?

I spend about 20 hours a week sometimes a little more.

What is your favorite GDI Bonus?

My favorite GDI Bonus is the new Team Bonus, but I also like the $100 bonus for referring five people in seven days. So I am torn. Too many good bonuses… good opportunities for everyone!

What bonuses or contests have you won with GDI?

I have won the GDI lottery where I got four sign ups. It sure was nice.

When you’re not building your business with GDI, what do you like to do?  When I am not promoting GDI I like to read my Bible…I feel like GDI has been a great blessing for my family and myself.

What is your profession outside of GDI?

I have been a waitress for 27 years.
