What’s Your Mission Statement?

2 Comments

Objectives help to guide a business, keep things on track and be sure it is always working towards the right goals. Objectives are equally as important to building your own business with affiliate marketing and GDI. Proper objectives can help you to reach many goals, whether it’s traffic, revenue or just the amount of time you want to spend building your business each week.

One way to create the right objectives is to set a mission statement first. A mission statement defines your business, its values and consummate goals. What is your business trying to achieve? How do you want others to perceive your business? What are you offering to the market? This is what should be in your mission statement.

Here is a great example of a GDI affiliate mission statement: “To offer low cost domain solutions to those who need it while offering a chance to build residual income and educate others.” This mission statement covers what the business offers and hopes to achieve. Create your own mission statement and refer back to it often to ensure you are maintaining your values while working towards the right goals and building the right business for you.

Q: What is a good SEO that’s easy to use for video marketing?
A: SEO for video marketing can refer to utilizing video to drive SEO and traffic to your site or SEO for just your videos. Here are a few tips to help you achieve both.

Title and Description

Create a title that not only describes what your video offers, but uses the right keywords to drive people to your video. Google offers a Keyword Tool to help you figure out which words might be best to include in your title to attract more search visitors. Your title should be short and to the point, but your description can be longer and include more details about your video and you.

Tags

YouTube allows you to use tags to better classify your video on YouTube and take advantage of keywords. Once you have figured out your keywords in the step above, populate them into your tags. Be sure to use descriptive tags to ensure the right people are finding your video.

Sharing Your Video

Share your video as much as possible to get views on more sites than just the one it is hosted on. You can embed your video into blog posts, share it on social media or link to it in emails to drive more traffic.

Encourage Comments

Comments on videos are a form of interaction that visitors and search engines alike take note of. When you share you video, entice potential visitors and ask them to watch and share their opinions in the comments. You can even take advantage of your description space, asking viewers for their comments and questions.

Q: How quickly can I expect to get a return on my investment?
A: Each affiliate is different. It depends how many hours you put into it and your approach. It is a very small investment, so we encourage everyone to work hard and stick with it.

Q: Hi, is there a tutorial in how to build a Facebook/ GDI business page?
A: Thanks to your question, we’re in the process of creating a video tutorial for that now!

How do I make money?

GDI is an affiliate marketing program and you make income with GDI from referring other people to the affiliate opportunity, domain, and services. As a basic affiliate, GDI will pay you out $1 per month on each domain you help people register five levels down. We pay this out to you regardless if the people you sign up take advantage of the affiliate opportunity of just the domain. When someone you register does take advantage of the affiliate opportunity, not only will you get paid a dollar for the domains you helped register, but also for the domains they helped register, five levels down.
