If you frequent GDI’s website or follow us on Twitter, you will often see us mention Premium sign up lottery winners. These sound great, but what are they? How do you take advantage of them? Read on to learn how you can enter into this lottery and learn about other highlights of GDI’s premium membership.

Going Premium

GDI offers two affiliate memberships, Basic and Premium. With a Basic membership, you are a member of GDI and can build out your .WS domain, take advantage of our built-in tools and earn commissions on referring others to GDI. With a Premium membership, you get these same benefits and much more.

Commission

For $40 per month, Premium members can earn premium commissions, meaning they are paid out $15 on their first level and $5 each level down after that.This means your small monthly investment of $40 offers you better products, but also the opportunity to quickly earn income.

Premium Tools

You get access to the same great tools basic members get, but also gain access to tools like GDI’s hit logs, which allow you to learn more about the traffic coming to your site. Your tools also include our Inviter 2.0. This Inviter has an even easier-to-use interface than the classic Inviter and allows you to email a large number of contacts imported from a number of sites, like Gmail and Yahoo. Lastly, Premium offers you a chance at the Premium Lottery and improved bonuses, not available with basic memberships.

Premium Lottery

How great would it be to be entered into a lottery everyday without ever having to buy a ticket? Well thats how GDI’s Daily Premium Lottery works. Each day, three Premium GDI affiliates are randomly selected as winners. These winners will receive new trial signups who do not yet have sponsors. This is a great chance to build your downline and convert a trial signup to a new GDI affiliate. These signups are already interested in GDI, and, as lottery winner, you would have the opportunity to work with them and become their sponsor.

Other Bonuses

As a Premium member, you can participate in any one of our bonus contests, or all of them! All GDI affiliates can work toward the Weekly Superstar Bonus, which rewards you with a bonus $100 for referring five (5) new affiliates in seven (7) days. When you earn this bonus as a Premium affiliate, you don’t have to wait for your monthly commissions, you can choose to be paid out immediately with PayPal or Payza.

GDI’s Team Bonus is also open to all levels of affiliates, but Premium users and premium signups can increase your bonus using multipliers. Check the full rules to see how you can earn and even larger team bonus by converting Premium affiliates.

Believe it or not, these are just some highlights from GDI’s Premium membership. Visit your Members Area and navigate to GDI Premium to see every benefit and service offered to Premium affiliates.

How to Avoid Web Design Pitfalls

Leave a comment

avoid web design pitfalls

When used right, your website is your number one marketing tool. It can be your space for others to learn more about GDI, affiliate marketing and who you are. Your website gives people the chance to see what can be done with GDI’s site building tools and plugins. Creating a clean, easy to navigate website can be simple, but there are also many pitfalls to look out for. Read on for how to avoid some of the most common website pitfalls.

Poor Quality Images

Images are essential to a visually interesting website, but the wrong images can drive your traffic away. Always test images on your website before adding them and publishing your site. Images may look OK in the preview, but blurry on your website. It’s not necessary to use high resolution images on your website as these can take up lots of space. Just make sure your image looks clear and sized properly for your site.

Poor Navigation

GDI offers WordPress and SiteBuilder to help you build your website. These services come with themes that include easy navigation and menu building for a reason–good menus are an important feature of a successful website. If you want people to visit many pages on your site, you need to make it easy for them. Menus necessary to navigate your site should be at the top or side of the page so they are easy to see. Make sure every page on your website can be accessed from these menus.

No Linkbacks

Direct traffic to your website is important, but in this highly connected digital world much of your traffic will come from referrals. Referrals are website visits that come from outside sources and pages. You can gain referral traffic by sharing your website on social media or working with other affiliates to share links. Linkbacks to your website helps to verify it through search engines and appear higher in search results.

No Goal Conversion

What do you want people to do when they visit your website? Fill out a contact form? Sign up for a newsletter? What you want people to do on your website should dictate how you build it and how it is designed. Always keep your end goal in mind and make sure website visitors can accomplish it with just a few clicks if needed.

Too Many Distractions

It’s easy to get wrapped up in adding fun things to your website like GIFs, photos, and animations, but use these things sparingly. Too many distractions can make your website seem unprofessional or make it difficult for people to accomplish what you want them to on your site. Use images where it is necessary to explain a concept or break up text. Use GIFs and animation only when they can help your business, like GDI’s animated banners that link to your signup page.

Grammar, Spelling

Nothing makes a website seem unprofessional quite like a spelling mistake or typo. Though these mistakes are simply accidents, it can make it seem like your are careless. Proofread your website frequently and anytime you add new content. Copy all the text from your website and run it through a spell check. If you can, have a friend proofread your website any time you update it.

GDI Affiliate Marketing Tips to Share with Beginners

Leave a comment

Affiliate marketing tips

GDI works best when members work together as a team. The downline setup supports this team structure, but without the right information, teams can easily fall apart. With each new member of your downline you sign up, make sure they are educated and know how to get started with GDI. Here are five affiliate marketing tips and key aspects about GDI that you should share with every downline member.

How to Use Replicated Sites

Replicated Sites let knew members get off the ground running with a ready built web presence, but if new members don’t know these sites exists, they are impossible to leverage. Show your new downline member how they can see their Replicated Sites in the Members Area (Members Area>Replicated Sites) and let them know there are many options including multiple layouts and languages. Have a favorite replicated site? Share it with them .

What Website Building Tools are Available

Once a new member learns about Replicated Sites, they are ready to learn about our other website options. GDI offers WordPress and SiteBuilder plugins to facilitate easy website building or the option to build your own website by using our Drupal CMS option. To use SiteBuilder, new members need to navigate to Members>Build Your Website. For users who want to use the WordPress plugin or our Drupal CMS offering, navigate to Members>Wordpress and More and turn services on and off to access them.

How Referrals and Commissions Work

Referrals and commissions are important to those new GDI members who wish to take part in the income opportunity. First, find out why your new downline member joined–for a website, income opportunity, or both? Explaining that commissions are earned each time a new referral converts to a paying member, but commissions are paid out monthly. You can choose to have your payouts as Paypal or Payza, bank wire, or mailed check. Remember, that the lowest minimum payout limit you can select is $10 USD. Commission totals less than your selected minimum payout amount will be carried over until such time as your balance meets your selected minimum. Referrals are powerful, but they only become income once your new referral becomes a paid GDI member.

How to Get in Contact with You

There can a be learning curve as a new member, so that’s why its important that your new downline members know how to get in contact with you. Tell your downline your preferred email and phone and when it is best to contact you. Remember, downline members can also elect to contact you through the Members Area, so make sure your information is always up to date.

The Learning Bonus

You may have been reading through this list and thought, “Doesn’t the Learning Bonus teach you that?” and you’re right. It does. But the Learning Bonus is no replacement for advice and assistance from experienced affiliates like yourself. When you work to guide your new downline member, they will be educated and work through the bonus faster. The sooner your downline completes their Learning Bonus (and earns themselves $25!) the sooner you are on your are on your way to the $250 Duplication Bonus.
