What does that mean? What is a Collective Recruiting System?

I did sign up for GDI a few years ago, because GDI or GLOBAL DOMAIN INTERNATIONAL is a great MLM model with marketing system, support forum, very low start up and low monthly cost, easy to advertise (so I thought) and it looks like everybody wants it and needs it and……joins it….

(If you haven’t heard of GDI, I would highly recommend you have a look. GDI or GLOBAL DOMAIN INTERNATIONAL is a fortune 500 web-hosting/domain provider that provides it’s product (the .ws extension) to the world, as well as provides an awesome income opportunity to customers/affiliates. The monthly fee to own your own .ws website and have hosting from GDI is $10.00. Successful customers/affiliates of the company are very realistically earning MULTIPLE THOUSANDS of dollars per month in affiliate commissions.)

But what happened? Despite the support and training nobody seemed to manage to invite others to join this program. Nobody except the “heavy hitters” of course. How come?

I do not really know the answer to these questions. However, after a while I left GDI with a only few down line members who for some reason did not “duplicate” my marketing efforts. (Actually, this phenomena is not limited to GDI, this applies the same to Trafficwave or any MLM program for that matter.)

Now there are groups of people who took the initiative to form teams and who are promoting team advertising. I do not really know who started it but I can tell you about the Powerpath GDI Team, which started in August 2009.
T = Together   E = Everybody   A = Achieves   M = More
Dawn, one of the founders wrote:

“Because I have been active in this industry for over 8 years and have spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to do it alone… many hundreds of dollars on marketing, communication, copyrighting and advertising training… recruited hundreds of people over the years who could not learn or duplicate what I do and quit to move on to something else they could fail at instead…”

Since August 2009, when the PowerPathGDI TEAM team started advertising GDI and promoting it’s team work,  it has doubled again and again and again.  The team’s popularity is growing constantly and PowerpathGDI’s  rotators “start to spin so fast the names start flying off the page.”

So, how does this team work, what is involved.

The goal: The PowerPathGDI system works to ensure every member has a full 6×5 matrix in GDI.

The work: We do this by working collectively, everybody advertising for each person in turn.  ALL for ONE and ONE for ALL.

Required: Everybody must commit to advertise. Inactive members will be deleted.

The cost: The TEAM is free to join! It is very easy to do your part.

(see also Testimonials in the youtube comment section.)

The new member who joins PowerpathGDI through a rotator link will receive instruction where to advertise (mainly in Traffic exchanges). Everybody will have his turn on the “hot seat” until he has received 6 paying downline members. In the forum members can see who is on the “hot seat” and how many downline members have joined.

I have joined this team in January and yes,  members do receive their 6 and the rotator list is moving all the time.

At the moment Powerpath GDI is undergoing a make over and will launch at the end of April as the NEW and “upgraded” Powerpath GDI 2.0. What will be happening? EVERYTHING!!! The already fantastic team building system is about to become super-charged! Improvements will be added, new banners, new splash pages etc and members will move faster through the “hot seat.”

The PowerPathGDI Weekly Webinar is a great opportunity to learn how the PowerPath model of business building works and you will hear from other PowerPathGDI members, can learn marketing skills, ask questions, and also share ideas and concerns. Visit the link for more info, you will find recorded webinars listed there as well.

The last two days have been very busy at Tim Linden’s blog and his post:  “What’s the deal with these teams“.  Read here: http://www.timlinden.com/blog/traffic-exchanges/whats-deal-teams/

His post  has received 58 responses, very busy indeed, 14 more comments came in today.  Read here part 2, posted today by Tim Linden: http://www.timlinden.com/blog/traffic-exchanges/talking-about-teams-part-2/

My opinion?

I love teams, I prefer to work with a team instead of being all by myself, working at home, me against the whole wide internet world. Also, I need to focus and the team can help me with that.  But as Tim writes, before you join a team, do your research. Find out.

One of the teams I joined is Rusty Shelton’s Oceanswell team (see also my post from 31.1.10), all together  advertising Trafficwave and finding new members, the other team I joined a bit later, the PowerPath GDI Team. (My post about this team will follow).  What I love especially about those two teams is the “collective downline recruiting” system.

Or:

T = Together
E = Everybody
A = Achieves
M = More

One for all and all for one. Everybody advertises the same link  until the team member (who is currrently  in the rotator) has his 5 or 6 downline members. And it works. If you are willing to work and to be patient then this is the best way (I think) to build a downline with active members. Because if the downline member get’s paid, why would he/she cancel, right?

Twitter is a fast growing “micro-blogging” service and social
network all wrapped into one.  After some bumpy roads & strong
growing pains the free service that allows hyper-connectedness & an
interesting way to express “what you’re doing” at any given time, seems
to be on the fast track now to becoming the next mega success story
online.

Twitter was founded by Evan Williams, who is no rookie to bringing
creative ideas to multi-million dollar reality.  Evan was a blogging
pioneer and has created & grown web properties that have attracted
the attention of the big dogs, including Google.

One of Evan’s past web projects grew to be so huge, in fact, that Google bought him out for a multi million dollar price tag.

Rather than reclining on a beach chair & sipping Coronas for the
remainder of his life, Evan decided to try his hand again, when he
thought up the concept of “micro-blogging.”

In all our modern day internet hustle & bustle there’s come a
need for brevity… short, to the point, yet meaningful messages.

Evan’s idea for Twitter was a service that not only allows people to
post short “micro-blog” entries (by enforcing a self-created parameter
that only allows users a maximum of 140 characters per post), but also
helps people stay connected through the use of followers, text
messages, and @replies.

The Twitter faithful are even coining their own new lingo to
describe some of the everyday actions that take place on the site.
“Tweets,” for example, are the term used to describe each of your
short, 140 character or less, posts to update your Twitter profile.

In this article the aim is to go over a simple overview of the
everyday things you’ll need to know in order to get started on Twitter
& set yourself up for maximum exposure using this free service.

First off, you’ll need to go create an account by visiting the site
and following the easy to follow prompts for creating a new account.

Once you’re all setup, be sure to visit the “Settings” tab and
customize your profile and also enter a short bio, along with the URL
to your website.

In order to double the chances of getting a click, I’d also
recommend including a hyperlink within your bio, in addition to the
hyperlink you’ll enter in the box for your web URL.

The next thing you’ll want to do is visit the “Devices” tab and get
your account setup so that you can send tweets on the go from your
mobile phone.

The steps for confirming your mobile device to work with Twitter are
easy to follow and you’ll be up and rolling in no time flat.

Once you’ve got your new account created and have configured your settings & mobile, it’s time to start tweeting.

Remember, you’ll be limited to 140 characters per message so choose
your words wisely.  If you’d like to include a hyperlink with your
Tweet you should consider shortening it down using a free tool like
Tiny URL, or Snip URL.

Be careful not to come off as too spammy by including links in every
Tweet… get involved with the Twitter community and share some of your
daily activities with your followers so you can get a real feel for
what it’s all about before sucking traffic out… its got to be a
give-give relationship!

Now, to really get yourself on the fast track and start adding new
followers fast, the best advice is to follow people who you find
interesting, and single out those who already have a large
followership.  Tweet regularly and often using your mobile, the Twitter
site, and even handy third party applications like “Twhirl.”

Anytime you see a new Tweet from someone you are following send them
an @reply by including the “@” sign + their Twitter username in a
message responding to their original tweet.

By sending users an @reply you’ll get their attention, strike up
conversations, and best of all – put yourself in the public spotlight
so that all of their followers will take notice of you.

Before you know it, you’ll be addicted to Twitter and will have a massive followership as well!

Once you’ve built a followership it’s easy to get visitors to your
site by using services like TwitterFeed anytime you post a new blog
entry, TweetLater to automatically direct message new followers, and
other little known tips & tricks for putting it all on auto-pilot.

Twitter is a new revolution in communications and may be the first
glimpse at Web 3.0.  I recommend getting setup on Twitter today so you
can ride this new wave into the future and enjoy it for all it’s worth!
