Your Top Webinar Question from February 28th

Leave a comment

We got some great basic questions this webinar, but one question stuck out in particular, so we are sharing it here. This question was answered live, to hear it visit: www.gdiwebinars.ws and scroll to the February 28th webinar.

Q: In the beginning, how do people overcome the problem of not having yet ‘made it’ using this program? I have no credibility yet for this program and can’t answer some basic questions. How do I address this?

A: It’s important that once you join with GDI you take the time to learn exactly how GDI works and how you can be successful. The best way to do this is to reach out to your upline. The GDI affiliate program works so that every new affiliate has a sponsor, or upline, above them. Ideally this person has been with GDI a good amount longer than you and has had some success. This is who you should reach out first with your questions about GDI and establishing credibility. Your upline should be able to offer you their tips for success and help you to duplicate it. This will help you to answer the basic questions people are asking you. If you are unsure who your upline is and how to contact them head to Members Area> Upline for this information.

Secondly, you can use your upline to establish credibility. Share why you signed up with them, their successes and how you are an important part of the team. Many GDI members make their own videos, blog posts and tutorials, see if you upline has these and ask if you can share them. You can also work to build your own credibility with videos. Simply share what you know. Maybe you’re still learning with GDI, but are a WordPress expert, share that information in a video. Any valuable information you can share via video will help to establish credibility and create a level of comfort for people considering GDI.

Lastly, if you have questions or are unsure of how to do certain things with GDI, like use the Inviter of get started with SiteBuilder, check out our Tutorials section in the Members Area. Simply login at www.wesbite.ws/members and navigate Members Area>Tutorials. These videos work to show you step by step how to get started with GDI and many of it’s tools.

Backlinks, SEO, and Building Your Business

7 Comments

Thanks to our affiliate, Rick, for suggesting the topic for today’s post.

Backlinks are a great way to generate traffic and also boost your page’s search engine optimization (SEO)

What is a backlink?

Backlinks are simply any links to your website. They are also called inbound links or incoming links. To remember this, think of inbound or incoming calls. They are coming to you from somewhere else, just like these links are.

What are the benefits?

Backlinks help your website’s SEO, affecting how high your page is ranked for a search. Many search engines, like Google, include the number of backlinks to a site as one of their highest factors in “selecting” which pages receive the highest page rank for a search. The theory behind this is the more links there are to your site, the more on relevant and legitimate it must be, making it a great contender for a top search result.

How do I get backlinks to my site?

Two simple ways are networking and creating shareable content. Work within your network to create a link sharing system. This way you can list a link to another site while they list a link to yours. Creating shareable content is another effective way to build backlinks, especially with the boom of social media. You can create your own backlinks by sharing your site and posts across your social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest. Even better when what you share is topical, newsworthy or great content you have the chance of others liking and sharing your link, creating that many more backlinks.

Your job doesn’t stop at just getting the movie in front of people. Once someone has watched the movie or you have shared a link to the movie with them, it’s important to follow up. Follow up can be a short email or even a phone call. Just be sure to make it personal and take the time to listen as well as share the value of GDI. If someone needs time to think things over, give them time, then follow up again.

Your site is a powerful marketing tool and you can build it out anyway you like. You can add banners, contact forms and even the video to ensure people will learn what GDI is all about and know how to get in touch with you to learn more.
