Affiliate programs like GDI offer a lot of unique benefits like the ability to work from home, work and any time and work with people all over the world. Affiliate programs, however, do not guarantee you’ll get rich quick, make money without putting in work and that every day will be easy. The problem with this misinformation is that many people believe it or perpetuate it, causing new affiliates to quit when they aren’t a millionaire in the first week. It’s important as a n new affiliate to understand what you’re signing up for and it’s also the responsibility of the established affiliate and upline to be truthful. Here are two ways to attract signups without risking losing them to false claims and promises.

Manage Expectations

GDI has many affiliates who get paid out each month and build income for life. However, this doesn’t happen right away for many people. It’s important to know that GDI offers a great income building opportunity, but not to exaggerate it. Claims that’s people will make a set amount of money per week guaranteed just aren’t true and will cause people to quit when that doesn’t happen. It’s okay to be excited about GDI and market in new ways, buy exaggerating income potential will only backfire and cause you to lose downline members as quickly as you got them/

Set and Reset Goals

Goals are a powerful way to drive new affiliates forward. Setting the right goals keep help to retain downline members. Take the time to reach out to your new downline members to not only share advice, but also to set goals. If you find a goal is too hard or too easy, work to set a new goal for your team and yourself. Affiliates who reach goals are more likely to stay with a team.

Why did you consider affiliate marketing? To make money, right? Well there’s a lot more to it than that. Affiliate programs and affiliate marketing can help to give you freedom, extra income and a way to take ownership of your future. We break down three reasons affiliate marketing might be right for you.

Freedom

Affiliate programs, especially those available online like GDI give you freedom that you just can’t get from your 9-5 job. Affiliate programs allow you to work and network at times that work for you. Whether you have a few extra hours a week or are looking to put full time effort into an affiliate program, you can find one that works for you. There also no set time frame that you must work on building your team. So even if you’re a night owl or a morning person, you will be able to connect with other affiliates like you and work on your own schedule.

Security

If you’re saving for your future or just a rainy day, working to make extra money with an affiliate program can ideally help to provide some financial security. While there are no guarantees to how much money you will make with a program, hard work with the right affiliate opportunity offering can pay off. Building income with an affiliate program outside of your full time job can help to provide security and savings for the future.

Ownership

While affiliate programs are part of a larger company, they allow you a unique opportunity at ownership of something. You decide how much money you make and how much to work with an affiliate program, essentially giving you ownership. Affiliate programs let you make the marketing decisions, hours and set the goals each day, week, month and year. Where else will you find freedom, security and ownership without a big investment?
