Your Winning Advice: Round Three

This holiday season we’ve been asking for your advice. The GDI Big Tippers Contest launched at the beginning of November and offers 2 more chances to win $100. We just finished our third round and announced our winner, Aaron Mecua! We want to take this opportunity to share his advice and share GDI’s take on it. Don’t forget to enter for your chance to win by sharing your advice on our Facebook Page or tweeting us with it.

Most people join the program because of the opportunity, so what I do is share the bonuses that the program offers and walk my sign ups through it. Then explain to them that these are just a bonuses and there’s a long term income that they are slowly building while enjoying these bonuses. –Aaron Mecua

 GDI offers many incentives to affiliates new and old. From bonuses to contests, there are many ways to make money with GDI. These incentives are great to share with new members, but like Aaron says, let these new members know they are not the base of your income. Think of these bonuses as just what they are—great extras. Work hard to build you downline and monthly income and you’ll no doubt hit some bonuses and maybe some contests along the way. GDI is a commitment, but there are many rewards.
