Duplication Bonus: How’s Your Progress?

Just last month we announced our new Duplication Bonus for all of our affiliates. In short, the bonus rewards you for the education of your new direct signups (full details and rules here). The bonus is $250 and can be achieved an unlimited amount of times. So we want to know – how are you doing? Inching closer to that bonus of haven’t even attempted it? Here are three reasons you need to start working towards the bonus or keep pushing forward.

Education

The Duplication Bonus encourages education of all new team members. Team members who know their way around GDI and how to get started are much more likely than those who are confused or unsure how to begin. This makes the bonus pay off two fold: with the $250 you could earn, and the recurring income from your direct signups sticking with it.

Mutual Success

Affiliate marketing is also known as network marketing because it is all about building a network. Not only does the Duplication Bonus encourage your team to learn more and become empowered, but your downline is also rewarded for it! Each new direct signup that completes their Learning Bonus earns $25 for themselves and earns you a tick towards your Duplication Bonus.

Unlimited

Perhaps the best part of the Duplication Bonus is the fact that it is unlimited. This means that you can win the bonus over and over for each 10 new direct signups who complete their learning bonus.

Five Habits of Successful Affiliates

Keep It Simple

Success with your team comes from their ability to duplicate your success. So how do you make it easy for them to do this? Keep it simple. Create a simple plan or approach to building your team, and when it’s successful, share it with your team so they can do they same.

Don’t Sell

It’s called affiliate marketing for a reason—it’s different from selling. You’re marketing an opportunity with a product, not selling a product alone. Work in a way that potential team members don’t feel like they are getting a sales pitch, but instead a chance for them to build Income for Life.

Branch Out

Stay away from family and friends when it comes to building your team unless someone has already shown interest. When only approaching friends and family with your affiliate team, you may get a lot of “no’s” and get discouraged. Instead, successful affiliates branch out and use many ways to connect with new team members like social media, networking sites, and even networking and business events in your hometown.

Don’t Give Up

Often times when we ask some of our top affiliates for advice, this is what they say. It’s important not to throw in the towel your first bad week. Many affiliates would not be successful today if they had quit when they first had the chance. Persevere when things slow down and get creative to move past a slump.

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize and Stay Positive

Remember you’re doing this for you. So keep your eyes on your goals with affiliate marketing, be they big or small and keep that positive outlook that got you started in the first place!

The Power of People in Affiliate Marketing

People are definitely a company’s greatest asset. It doesn’t make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps.Mary Kay Ash

We shared a few of our favorite motivational quotes last Monday, but the one above really applies to affiliate programs and GDI. In short, what you’re marketing doesn’t matter; it’s the people you build your team with who really matter. At GDI we strive to offer the best products to our affiliates to build their online presence, but when it comes to the affiliate program GDI offers, it’s all about people first, then the product. A strong team can outweigh a weak product understanding any day. So take this quote to heart and understand those people you add to your team are your biggest asset. Do the extra work to build your team with the right people and it will pay off for you in the long run. A powerful affiliate program is built with great people, so add some great people, not just any people, to your team today.
