downlineIf you’re new to GDI and want to take advantage of our affiliate program, you might have a few questions. The biggest of these questions being “How do I build my downline?” There’s no exact science, but we can help you with the logistics. Here’s how you add people to your downline with three of our different website options.

Replicated Sites

GDI’s Replicated Sites can be found in your Members Area under My Replicated Sites. These replicated sites are readymade websites that don’t require any editing. Select your favorite Replicated Site to show whenever someone visits your .ws domain. Each replicated site shares different information about GDI and has a button for a potential downline member to signup. When they click this button and complete the signup process they will become part of your downline.

SiteBuilder

To build and utilize a SiteBuilder site for your domain, choose Build Your WebSite in your Members Area. As you build your website, you will see the option for adding an email address and phone number. This way, potential downline members who visit your site can contact you to learn more or sign up.

Four Ways to Manage Your Online Reputation

Your online reputation plays a big role in building your business. Learn four ways to manage it.

1. Take the lead. Instead of waiting for others to talk about you, give them something to talk about. Share your success on your website and blog. Post your Virtual ID Card on your website so other can see your success. Create videos and blogs that are helpful and share your message before someone shares it for you.

2. Respond quickly and thoughtfully. When downline members or prospects have questions, you’re on the clock. You need to answer and assist people quickly and thoughtfully. Each moment you wait to help someone who needs it, your reputation takes a hit.

3. Manage bad feedback. Unpleasant feedback is almost inevitable, but it can quickly be resolved with some effort on your part. If a downline member is unhappy, or a prospect sours, take the time to address their issues. Respect their opinions and work to find a solution. If you just write them off, your reparation could suffer as a result.

4. Play to your strengths. You don’t have to be the best at everything to have a good online presence and reputation. If video is your comfort zone, put your effort into making great YouTube videos and save blogging for someone else. Work on creating content your love and working with services you understand. It’s better to have one quality output than multiple not so great offerings.
