HOW TO PROMOTE GDI
1. Ebook
My ebook Success By Three is my main method for recruiting people to GDI. I have found using the ebook to be much more successful than any other advertising I've used.
I believe the reason for its success is due to explaining about the program, so a person knows what the program is about before they join, as opposed to a short ad that doesn't really explain anything. My rate for people staying on beyond their trial is also higher when referring through the ebook.
If you join or have joined GDI through me you can have this ebook rebranded with your own links and give it away or resell. If you are already a GDI member, the ebook also has three other programs, if you join any of those you can have the ebook rebranded with your own link.
Of course you still have to promote the ebook to get people to look at it and for that I use the below methods as well as using ebay. I sell my ebook for 99cents on ebay and get a few signups through there.
Or if you are feeling creative you can have a go at writing your own ebook and give it away or sell it. This really is by far the best promotional method that I have found, I am doing really well with this.
2. Forums
Work at home forums are a good way to promote. Some people don't agree saying that your only advertising to people that are advertising similar things. I beg to differ as I have seen results from it and I know I have often checked out other peoples ads and even signed up through some of them, in fact I originally signed up with GDI through someone from a forum.
Some forums allow advertising and some don't so make sure if you're in a forum that doesn't that you stick to their rules. Don't avoid them all together, they can still be useful. Whydowork forum is an example, they don't allow advertising at all, yet I have picked up members through there.
They do allow you to put links in your signature. So you can bring up the topic of GDI or respond to a topic and people are seeing your link in your signature. In fact any topic that you start or respond to people are seeing your signature.
WAHM forum is my favourite and I have done quite well there. The main forums I use are:
WAHM
Conquer Your Niche
Worldwide Work At Home
The Honest Way Forum
Home With The Kids
Free Ad Post Forum
Why Do Work
There are more forums, you can do a google search on 'work at home' forums or a similar wording and you will find more.
3. Traffic Exchanges
There are both manual and auto traffic exchanges and they both have good and bad points. Manual traffic exchanges are time consuming as you have to sit and watch them and manually click to move to the next ad. The good part about that is that you know people are actually seeing your ads since they are also watching.
Auto traffic exchanges are good in that you can turn it on and let it run without watching and build up credits but the obvious down side to that is everyone else can do the same, so your ad can be showing with no-one watching.
I still use 2 auto exchanges as I have found these 2 to be ok, they offer bonus credits for clicking on ads and the first one offers bonus 'wins' throughout the day if you click on the 'let me win' ad when it appears, so it does encourage people to actually watch the ads.
The first exchange MyTrafficX is the best one as far as autosurfs go. Topsufer and Traffic Swarm are manual surfing and both are VERY GOOD.

4. Safelists
Safelists are ok but don't join too many, or you will just end up being bombarded with thousands of emails from them. The only 2 I use are:
Top Safelist
Optinlister
Top Safelist is actually a paid membership, although very reasonably priced at just $12 a year. Being a paid list it is actually a lot better, your advertising is more targeted and has much better results.
5. Flyers
Flyers can be good also. Just to type up some small flyers advertising SFI and putting them in letterboxes. Or if you're using the ebook, you can have the flyer promoting the ebook.
6. Adblaster
All the above methods are free methods. There is only one method that I use that is paid but its only a one time payment for the software and then you can use it as often as you want forever. That is Adblaster program, you just set up your ad and press submit and it sends your ad to thousands of websites. You can save your ad too, so you just need to go in every couple of days, select the ad you want to use and press submit. Its very easy to use and a very good software program.

End Note
I usually go online every day and put all of these methods into practise everyday. Especially when you are first starting out your business. As your business grows and your team members also are referring people then you don't have to work quite so hard.
