GDI Team Bonus Check In

4 Comments

Our NEW Team Bonus has been live for over a month now. We want to take the time to answer a few common questions and offer some suggestions for the coming months. This is also a great post to share with potential team members and downline members to show the power of this new bonus.

Are teams winning the new bonus?

Yes! We had several teams win the bonus of varying levels for January and more teams are already on the Leaderboards for February. You can see an update of who is in the running of the bonuses and the payouts by heading to the Team Bonus area in GDI Bonuses and click Leaderboards.TeamBonusButton

My team made the Leaderboard and qualified for the bonus, when will I see my money?

In order for a signup to count towards the bonus, they must convert to active status. Because GDI offers a 7 day trial these results in a 7 day lag time before signups can be verified as active. As a result you will see our winnings added to your commissions in the month after you earned the bonus for. For example, if your team achieved the bonus in January, your bonus will be available in your commissions within the first few weeks of February.

You have the option each month to stay with your current team, join a new team or start your own. Below are step by step instructions to do this.

Join a New Team

If you know the team name you can search for it in the available search box or browse for it in the list of teams. If you aren’t sure which team you wish to join, you can simply browse all of the open teams listed.

Once you have found the team you wish to be part of, select Join. A confirmation window will pop up after you do this to make sure this is the team you would like to join. When you click on Join Team a notice will be sent to that team’s leader letting them know you wish to join. The team leader then has to option to approve or refuse your request. Any requests that do not receive a response within 5 days will result in the request automatically being approved. After you’ve joined you team, you can now see team information and progress towards the bonus when you are in the Team Bonus Information area.

Start Your Own Team

Follow the same steps above to get to the Team Bonus Information area. Select Create Team to get started. A pop up will appear and ask you to enter the team name of your choice and your language. By clicking Create Team after you enter this information you will be starting your team with you as the leader. Your team is active immediately. You can now see your team information and progress in the Team Bonus Information.

You have the option to close or leave your team. Closing your team means closing it off to new requests to join. Your team will still exist, but no other members will be able to join. Leaving your team mean no longer be a part of it. Your team will still exist but you will no longer be the leader. Requests to leave a team will be processed by the beginning of the next month, allowing you to join a new team if you wish.

Will be put into normal commission the following month the lag in payment is seeing if people convert from trial

Quora for Affiliate Marketing

Leave a comment

You may not have visited Quora just yet, but it’s very popular and gaining momentum. Quora, as its own website states, “A continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it.”

What it’s good for

Quora is good for answering questions you feel you are an expert on and of course getting answer to your own questions. Search a phrase like “affiliate marketing” and you will be given a list of results with that phrase, most of which will be helpful. You can also add your own answer to questions that come up in search results.

How it’s unique

Quora is unique in quite a few ways. First off, if gives you a great direct opportunity to be a thought leader and establish yourself as an expert in you field. Twitter and Facebook offer this, but it can require lots of searches to find people discussing the information you interested in. With Quora there is a direct way to do this. The site is also different from other social question and answer sites in that each question and following answers are held to strict guidelines and are peer reviewed often to be sure those guidelines are respected. For example, when addressing a poster you must address them by first and last name, to ensure there is no confusion if there are multiple posters with the same first name. Questions must also be formatted in a specific way, which Quora will show when you start to post questions.

Ways to use it

Use Quora to establish yourself as in expert in the fields you have the most knowledge, like affiliate marketing or website design. Ask and answers and follow questions to get updates. You can also follow people on the site to see when they ask or answer a question. Link your Quora and your Twitter to drive your followers to see your answers and discussions. Quora is great to establish as a thought leader as well as ask and learn other leaders.
