Leave a comment

Thanks to affiliate and Facebook fan, Medicane P. for requesting this topic.

There is no formal presentation for promoting GDI. There’s no script to follow or specific words you have to say. When we talk about your presentation, we are talking more about your preparation. Think of each time your present GDI like a job interview. You don’t want to read off a script or run over your audience, but you do want to be prepared. In addition, you know there are specific points you want to discuss and find a way to fit them into your conversation. To get comfortable with this way of presenting, you need to prepare. Here are a few tips to prepare for your next presentation.

Know Your Options

GDI has many offerings to support affiliates. Be sure you know all about our products and services from our SiteBuilder and WordPress plugin to the Marketing Kit, 7 Minute Movie, Bonuses and Virtual ID Card. The more you know about GDI, the easier it is to tailor your presentation. What do you like best about GDI? Learn as much as you can about that and let it be the cornerstone of your presentation. People can sense when you’re genuinely excited about something, so lead with whichever product, service, or bonus you are most excited about.

Know Your Audience

Just like you need to know GDI well, you need to know your audience even better. Who are you meeting with and what are their interests? Knowing who you are presenting to makes a huge difference. When you can relate to you audience, it’s easier to find a common goal or reason to join GDI.

Affiliate Advertising: Yes or No?

affiliate advertisingWe have a few affiliates at GDI who swear by paid advertising as it works for them. But just because some people find success with advertising doesn’t mean it’s the only way to succeed. Before the internet gave us immediate access to everything we could ever want to know, advertising was one of the few ways a company, or individual could engage you. Thankfully, this is no longer true. Learn how and why you can grow your downline and income without advertising.

Invite, Don’t Interrupt

 

Advertisements tend to serve as a way or interrupting your current activity. Whether you’re distracted by a billboard while driving or your favorite show is broken up a by a noisy commercial, you’re being interrupted. As an affiliate marketer you should be working to invite people to your site, not interrupt them. Advertising’s style of interrupted is still very popular, but with the internet people can now get information about a business without being interrupted. They can simply search for it and you can invite these people to your site with the right content. This is beneficial because it attracts the right type of potential customer. When someone has the choice to see your message or not, the people who chose to see it are the ones you want to work with. Remember, content isn’t far removed from advertising, the difference is in the packaging. Content can be words, images, video, anything you use to get your message across. Now it is your job to ensure your content is inviting.

Lead with your Message

Content that is inviting is content that speaks for itself. This means that your content shouldn’t be an afterthought. Creating a website and then filling in content where it fits isn’t the best idea. Think of what you want your website to say, who you want to speak to, and what you want visitors to do. Then design your site around this. Remember that every little bit of text on your website is content. That includes your About Page, Contact Page, and more. Content should be short, to the point and honest. You should also keep in mind what people might be searching to find you. Do you want to attract people searching for “affiliate marketing work from home?” The use those words throughout your site in a well written way, don’t just put them anywhere you have space.

Why Aren’t I Making Money Yet?

2 Comments

One question we get from new affiliates is, “Why aren’t I making any money.” This often comes within the first few weeks of joining as an affiliate and is nothing to worry about. Becoming a GDI affiliate is your first step in building your own business. As such it may take a little time as you learn what you’re doing before you make money. GDI knows if can be discouraging if you aren’t earning Income for Life as quickly as you’d like. Here are two ways you can work to earn income right away as a new affiliate.

Signups

This is the main way affiliates can earn income. When you sign up for GDI, you are essentially signing up for two things. You have agreed to sign up with a sponsor, or if you registered without a sponsor, one will be assigned to you. When you sign up with a sponsor, you become part of their team or downline. When you sign up people below you, they become a part of your team or downline. For each person you sign to your downline you are paid out $1 per month per person in your downline. So it’s up to you to get downline signups and ensure they convert to active affiliates. Signups that just stay on for the trial and leave do not count towards your downline or commissions.

Learning Bonus

The Learning Bonus is a reward for taking the first steps to being successful with GDI. It’s a $25 bonus that affiliates can earn within their first two months with GDI. This is a great way to learn more about GDI and earn income easily within your first weeks with GDI. The steps are achievable and a step by step list can be found in your Members Area when eligible.
