A Few Tips for Success from Your Fellow Affiliates

8 Comments

As we’ve said, Social Media is great for feedback, and now we are putting it to good use to help you. When our affiliates respond to us on Facebook, Twitter, Forums and every where else we listen. And now we’re sharing. In case you missed some of these great pieces of advice on Facebook, or you aren’t a fan on Facebook (change that here) we will now be featuring some of our best tips and success stories FROM YOU on the blog.

Below is some awesome encouragement from one of our affiliates, Vincent R. Parker.

Vincent R. Parker: Mindset has A LOT to do with YOUR business. Much more than most people realize, and the few who do realize it have received much training and experience to really appreciate that fact. And with that here is my advice: Never ever quit! Do not be a grasshopper jumping from one opportunity to the next thinking THIS business will do it for me. NO business will do it for you until you make it YOUR business. Get training on a daily basis and then act on that training. Step outside the box. Talk to people. Look for opportunities all around you. Talk to your pizza guy. Talk to businesses in your area. Start providing value for people online. Answer questions. Build relationships. Above all, work your heart out. Hard to give solid advice in so few words, but that’s mine. Hope it helps a bit. 🙂

We also have one more tip from Bart Dangerfield, the voice of our webinars. If you haven’t attended one, it’s time sto start! Also, catch up on past webinars at: http://gdiwebinars.ws/

Bart Dangerfield: Each week, GDI conducts a free webinar open to affiliates and their guests. Even though this webinar is conducted by top field leaders with GDI who represent several different systems, the content that is provided is applicable to ANY GDI affiliate who seeks to be successful.

The webinar starts with a quick 15-minute overview of the company and products, specifically designed for guests and new affiliates who want to learn more about getting started with GDI. Next, corporate news and updates are given. But by far, the most popular portion of the webinar is the live Q&A session where affiliates can ask their questions directly to GDI’s top leaders and most successful affiliates. These questions each week range from how to set up a website to the most effective tools to use in building your online business. To register for the webinar, simply go to: http://register.gdiwebinars.ws

I Need Help: Self Help in the Members Area

Many of you are lucky enough to know Bart Dangerfield as that ever helpful voice from our webinars. Bart is a virtual wealth of information and tips on how to be successful with GDI, not to mention the fact he gets to hear new tips in every single webinar.

To offer even more to our GDI users, Bart was kind enough to share his advice with us for where to turn when you need help. You can look forward to more tips on this topic and many others in the future. Read on for Bart’s advice.


New users can often become overwhelmed by all that GDI has to offer and in turn become a little lost. An easy way to combat this issue is to explore your members area. Below are two tips for doing just that.

1.Use the Products: It’s amazing what a little experience can do. Many times an affiliate might not know where to start. To get over this feeling, try simply using the products. This can be done just by using the product by adding content to a website or using your own .WS email address and can really provide insights into how to successfully share and communicate those benefits with others.

So, become “a product of the product” and continue using all the features provided with your GDI product package. You will be amazed at the ideas this can generate to help you be successful.

2. Explore Your Members Area: Well over 90% of the questions being fielded by GDI’s customer service department are already answered within the GDI Members Area. Because there is so much information here, it can be a little intimidating. However, if you start by clicking on the main “Support” menu command along the top of your Members Area, you will see that this resource can guide you through to find the answer to just about any topic.

Also, don’t forget to review the “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ) section as well, here: http://website.ws/faq/. Both of these resources can most likely give you the answers you seek to just about any question, whether related to using the products or building your buiness.

Q&A: Are There Any Good Ways to Generate Leads Offline?

3 Comments

In a world where online businesses are now king, it’s easy to forget that brick and mortar stores still have needs. To generate leads offline you need to get creative and think of the needs of those you are hoping to be your next leads.

As was mentioned in a recent webinar, take the example of your local pizza delivery place. They may or may not have a website, and they surely have a phone number. Most of their customers are probaly regulars. How can YOU and GDI get them more business. How about a website for them like orderpizza.ws? This alone will give them a leg up. Orderpizza.ws is surely easier to remember than a 10 digit phone number. This is just one example, but it will hopefully get your wheels turning for how you can generate offline leads. Be sure to share your ideas and experiences with this in the comments! Best of luck!
