A Guide To Build Your GDI Downline

2009-01-11T05:24:00.000-08:00

To earn an income with the Global Domains International business opportunity you need to be able to refer people to the program and build yourself a downline. For some people this may seem quite difficult, but with the right techniques it really isn't that difficult at all.

This article is going to give you some tips to help build your GDI downline.

1. The first thing you need to do is find your referral link. Your referral link is your unique url that will track any people that you refer to the GDI business. Anyone that comes to GDI through that link will be added to your downline. You will find this link by logging onto your account.

2. Once you have your referral link then you need to start getting it out there so people can see it. One good way to get people to see it is by adding the link to your email signature. You may have a brief statement or sentence about it and then your link. You can set your emails up automatically to do this every time you send an email out.

3. There are many work online forums on the internet and you should join a few of them. You can put your referral link in your signature at forums also and then every time that you make a post at the forum people will see your link. Some forums also have an advertising section where you are allowed to place free ads, there is a fair bit of competition here but you may get some results.

4. Ebook marketing it a very good way to market your GDI business. You can write a quick ebook explaining about the program and then give the ebook away through forums or through a website.

5. Pay per click advertising is another good way to build your GDI downline. This option does cost money but if you can add a few new members every week through this method it will pay off as with the GDI program you will get a $100 bonus if you sign 5 people up in one week.

These are the top few methods of promotion for an online business and can be very effective if you keep up with them. I hope you will find these tips helpful and good luck building your team.

How to Make Money Using Get Paid To Websites: Beginner’s Guide

2008-12-25T15:25:00.000-08:00

I’ve been writing about Get Paid to Websites ever since I’ve started Dosh Dosh, although I’ve stopped tracking the industry for some time, because I’ve developed a greater interest in internet marketing and the building of websites for profit.

New Get Paid To websites are frequently set up by entrepreneurs interested in making some money. While the barrier of entry is low, the GPT industry is already saturated and heavy on competition.

However, some of the early pioneers in the get paid to industry like Cashcrate and CashonTap are still around and their member base has grown considerably. Other less fortunate sites were not sustainable and shut down soon after their birth.

I thought it’ll be helpful if I revisit the topic of Get Paid to Websites, which is actually a proven method of making money online and one that is particularly useful for those who are unfamiliar with the process of building websites or selling online.
Introduction to Get Paid to Websites

Get-Paid-To websites can be considered the middlemen between advertisers and you, the end-user or consumer. Advertisers pay these companies to generate leads and attract potential customers onto their services.

These sites will pass a portion of what they earn to you when you patronize or visit the advertisers. This mostly entails performing specific actions such as:

* Visiting a website to complete a survey
* Reading Email advertisements
* Referring a friend to purchase a product
* Opening up a free user account on the website
* Purchasing a refundable trial product or subscription
* Giving an email address for a newsletter

After doing these offers, you’ll get paid for each of them that is approved. For example, an offer might state that you will earn $21 if you sign up for a 7 day free trial with an online dating website.

Be sure to cancel your 7 day free trial after the offer is approved by the Get Paid To website and you’ll essentially be getting $21 for free. When it comes to Get Paid to websites, you’ll stand to make a lot more money when you own a credit card.

Free offers are also available for those who prefer not to use any credit cards or sign up for any trial-based offers. These are low priced and usually involve $0.50 to $2 offers. They are less readily available, although this depends on the website.
Who Can Use Get Paid To Websites?

Get Paid To Websites have geographic restrictions that are based on their business locations. Most of them are only available for U.S residents, although there are some who cater for international users.

There aren’t many international offers in these websites and I can only conclude that users based in the U.S are the ones who will make the most money from Get Paid To websites.

However, one way to bypass this limitation is to concentrate your efforts on referring active U.S-based users and earning commissions from their completed offers.
Why Should I Use Get Paid to Websites?

Here’s the main benefit of using Get Paid to (GPT) Websites: You can make money even if you don’t have your own website or know any specific skills. You can do this online from home and what you really need is just willingness to spend time completing offers.

A credit card and a personal webpage for referrals would be ideal if you’re interested in making more money but they are not entirely necessary. A simple paper or online organizer/spreadsheet to record down offers down or payments due would be very helpful when you are actively using GPT sites.

Income generated from these get-paid-to websites can be substantial. According to the forum threads and blogs I’ve read over the past few months, you can make a minimum of $100 to $2,000+ a month. From what I know about get paid to websites, this amount of monthly income is possible and can be achieved with effort.

Are they Internet Scams?

There are always scams when it comes to making money online. Cheaters and unscrupulous thieves exist in the Get Paid to industry as well. Nonetheless, there are many Get Paid To websites which are legitimate and highly credible.

They are staffed by responsible business men and women, who will listen to your feedback and pay you on time. I would advise you to go with the more established GPT sites, primary because they have a history of paying their users. Like everything else, be wary of new websites and learn how to work within the GPT rules.

I would also highly recommend getting a throwaway email address and a free private phone number online to avoid sales calls or junk mail from over aggressive advertisers. Clearing your cookies often before and after you use these websites is also important as well.
Making Money with Get Paid to Websites

I would recommend sticking with a few get paid to websites instead of actively using all of them. The main reason is that use of many websites will inevitably lead to the completion of duplicate/similar offers, which may result in you not getting paid for the legitimate offers that you’ve completed so far.

Not to mention that tracking multiple websites and payments on a daily basis can be rather tiring or difficult, even though you may have all the time to do so. I do however recommend signing up for the websites and using their affiliate programs.

Get Paid to websites have lucrative affiliate programs which will give you truly recurring and passive income, once you have amassed a large number of active users who in turn recruit other users.

I receive a steady amount of monthly commissions from doing absolutely no work at all; without even logging into or using the Get Paid to websites. This is something anyone else can achieve as well.

Blog Design for Beginners 1

2008-12-23T17:19:00.000-08:00

Design can add tremendous value to a blog. When it comes to making money with your blog, proper web design can make a huge impact on your bottom line. For some reason, I get a lot of resistance when I say this. I think it has to do with one’s perceived definition of design. The typical response I get is ‘ugly sites do well with adsense’. That may very well be true. I bet though, that those same sites would do even better with proper design.

Before we get into this, I need to dispel one further myth: design is not about making things pretty. It’s about making things work to their best ability. Let me quote from dictionary.com:

* To formulate a plan for; devise: designed a marketing strategy for the new product.
* To plan out in systematic, usually graphic form: design a building; design a computer program.
* To create or contrive for a particular purpose or effect: a game designed to appeal to all ages.
* To have as a goal or purpose; intend.
* To create or execute in an artistic or highly skilled manner.

So, without further ado, let’s design a site. Here’s what we’re going to need: pencil, paper, and a graphics editor (such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, or Gimp).

We’re going to start by collecting a bunch of information. I know the instinct is to jump straight into your drawing program and start messing around, but it’s not the best approach. You’ll see why as we move through this.

We’re going to design a site for a fictional problogger. This person (let’s call him Fred) writes about watches. He’s earning a couple of hundred bucks a month from his current site, and wants to step that up.

Step 1: Identify the site’s goals (what are you trying to do? How will you achieve it)

We’re designing this site to increase Fred’s profit. We’re going to do this by designing a flexible framework for Fred to experiment with ad placement, by increasing the attention grabbing aspect in order to capture more first time visitors, and by increasing the site’s stickiness, giving users more chances to see an ad that they want to click on.

While we’re at it, we’re going to use a plugin we recently developed that will give Fred control over the colour of the various elements of his site. This way, he’ll be able to keep things looking fresh.

Step 2: Identify your audience (who are they, and where do they come from)

Fred’s audience is made up of two groups: hardcore watch nuts, who read Fred’s site for news and reviews of the latest timepieces, and people shopping for watches, who come to the site via searches for specific makes and models.

Step 3: Identify specific needs (what functions does the site need to have in order to meet its goals?)

Flexibility with a minimum of fuss is key here. We want Fred to be able to move ad blocks around without having to mess with the code. We also want Fred to be able to change up the look of his site to keep things fresh, again, without messing with the code.

We also want to increase the site’s stickiness. We’ll do this by including a “favorite posts” listing and related links in the post’s footer.

We’ll show a category listing, to allow readers to explore the site in a non-linear way, and a search bar, so readers can search for specific makes or models. We also want to include a blogroll, to share the love. Finally, we want to show recent comments, so Fred’s regular site visitors can keep up with the overall conversation.

Step 4: Draw wireframes (rough sketches to experiment with element placement and layout)

Now the fun starts. I use a fabulous program called OmniGraffle (mac only) to play around with site layout and element hierarchy (more on this in a moment). I like to stay out of my graphics editor, since the potential to get sucked into designing visual elements is so strong. You really want to avoid jumping into the visual part of the design at this stage, since you’ll just end up getting lost.

What we’re doing now is building the terrain that we’ll lay our visual elements over. Skipping this stage is is the single biggest mistake newbie designers make.

Here’s an example of Fred’s site in the first stages of development:

As you can see, there’s no “design” per se present. What we’re doing though is figuring out the optimal placement of the various blocks that make up our site. We’re establishing the hierarchy of the page elements; deciding what’s most important, where we want the users’ eye to move.

This is a very rich area of study. I’m going to try to boil it down to it’s most basic (this data comes from an article by Peter Faraday. In essence we perform 2 functions immediately upon landing on a web page: search, and scan. The search function is our eye looking for a salient entry point into the page. We are attracted by the following (in descending order)

1. motion
2. size
3. images
4. colour
5. text style (font choice, font weight)
6. position

Once we’ve determined where we can start reading, we determine what to read by scanning the page. We look at groups of objects, and the proximity of individual objects to decide what is most important to read first.

Knowing this, we can make decisions in the layout and styling of our pages in order to increase the odds of generating the intended response (ie, clicking on an ad).

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that we have more ad blocks than Google currently allows. We won’t be using them all at the same time, but we’re building them in so Frank has the ability to move the ads around.

Step 5: Make a mood board (a collection of images, colours, type, etc that give you the feel you’re aiming for).

On larger jobs, we collect a bunch of imagery that feels like the project at hand. We look through magazines (fashion mags are a goldmine), books, and the web for colours, textures, layouts, etc. We cut up the magazines or print stuff out and literally make up a board that summarizes the mood we’re aiming to create for the site.

For a smaller job, we go through the same process, but create a virtual board instead. This is basically a big document in Photoshop that we can paste a bunch of stuff into. These images become our starting place for creating a colour palette, exploring texture and form, and generally acting as inspiration.

Creating one of these things doesn’t take long - go and try it, you’ll be surprised how much it helps.

Here’s an example from a recent project:

Step 6: Visual design

Having completed all of the above, the visual design is a much more manageable job than had we jumped straight in at the outset. Now we can concentrate on the site’s balance, energy, and style.

One huge mistake web design newbies make is not leaving enough space around the individual elements. This is called “white space”. Note that it doesn’t have to be white! Rather, the term refers simply to empty space.

At this point, you should be pretty well along in your design. I’m going to leave you now and get to work on Fred’s design.

Tomorrow, we’ll turn our static graphic into a WordPress theme.

Before I go, here’s where I’m at with Fred’s site so far:
