Leave a comment

Do you have a blog on your GDI domain? You should, here’s our reasons why.

Anyone Out There?

We often post that updating content regularly is an important way to show your traffic and prospects that there is a real person behind your site. While this can be accomplished with a website, a blog is an easy, cost effective way to do this. With our SiteBuilder Blog plugin or our WordPress plugin you can post quick updates, news and advice weekly, daily, even hourly to show your visitors you’re behind your page, you’re active and you have great info to share.

Be a Leader

Having a blog gives you a chance to be a thought leader. Your blog allows you to update quickly and frequently with advice, information on new marketing techniques and trends. This constant flow of great information will help to build your online reputation and establish you as a thought leader.

Simple Training

Blog posts are an easy way to share training with your team. You can share video, audio and of course text and images through your blog. Direct team members and potential team members to your blog where they can access your training materials in a simple, easy to navigate way.

Challenge Yourself

Having a blog challenges you to update regularly or risk your website looking like it has been abandoned. But this is a good thing. This will challenge you to learn new techniques to share tips, new videos and news. Take the time to learn and share it on your blog and both you and your team will benefit.

A Reminder

Your blog serves as a reminder for you to focus on GDI. Set a reminder to post at least a set number of times on your blog per month and you will at least be focusing that amount of time on GDI and building your business. To have something worthwhile to share, you must be doing something worthwhile with GDI. It’s a great cycle to be part of.

How Do You Measure Success?

Leave a comment

What is your measure of success with GDI? We share a few ways to help measure if you’re moving forward, business practices to keep and what to change.

Hit Logs

This is a crucial tool that is available to our Premium and basic users. Hit logs provide valuable information about the people visiting your site to help you better understand your traffic and your site’s effectiveness. While both Premium and basic users have access to hit logs from the Members Area, Premium users get much more detail with their hit logs. Check out your hit logs to see patterns in people visiting your site and how successful certain campaigns are. Then compare these numbers to your sign up numbers. If you’ve got a good amount of traffic and few sign ups, maybe there is something that needs to be changed on your site.

Dialogue

While sign ups are the direct way to make money with GDI, dialogue is one way to get you to these sign ups. What do we mean by dialogue? Specifically creating a dialogue a with anyone and very interested in GDI and network marketing. Have a good dialogue with your team members to ensure they are successful. Start conversations and answers questions of those people who aren’t on your team to establish yourself as a thought leader and dependable source for GDI information and experience. The more people you have dialogue with, the more touch points you have out and the better chance for sign ups down the line.

Sign Ups

Sign ups are the true sign of success with GDI. But try to go further with your sign ups and do a little research into why people are signing up and what made them join with you versus someone else. This information can help you streamline and target your marketing for your next signup.

With those of us in the United States celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow and Black Friday the next day, chances are you have been subject to much branding in the recent weeks. With stores fighting for your business for your Thanksgiving groceries or your Black Friday gifts, companies have worked hard to advertises and brand themselves to show you, the customer just how they are different and why you should shop with them.

This is a great tactic to think about over the holiday and take into your network marketing business.

How have the big stores pulled you in?

Was there a tactic or a message they shared with you?

How can this relate to your product?

Instead of ignoring the ads and commercials, pay attention to them and see what they do to bring you in. Next apply that to your business.

Happy Thanksgiving from GDI!!
