Success in any business depends on marketing. If your product or service is not reaching the people looking to purchase, then you will not make money.

As an online marketer you want to establish yourself as a leader and if you took the opportunity to read the MAGNETIC SPONSORING COURSE we suggested, you understand the importance of leadership in developing a online work at home income.

When you work to establish yourself as a leader, you want members to join YOU first.

In addition to the Direct GDI links, We recommend 3 marketing systems to help you build your GDI downline.

You do not need to Join or use them all, but each has its own unique approach to promoting GDI.

Our TOP PICK has been Acme People Search because of the integration of the GDI system product into the APS program throught the use of the Niche People Search Hosting.

The other two systems are:

Prosperity Central
GDITeamBuilders

This Program provides the opportunity to earn from two different marketing products

This section is going to cover the opportunity, we have another section on marketing the Search Engine.

Our Recommendation is to start with the opportunity first, and here is why.

The initial goal is to get five (5) additional members into the system. The true opportunity in working from home is in the development of residual income from programs used. Residual income comes from the development of downline program members.

Getting the initial 5 members into the system will start the development of your downline

After getting you initial 5 members you want to help the new 5 members reach their 5 members, but at the same time work on adding new members to your downline.

Next, Start the process of developing your nich People Search Marketing

Where and What do you promote to build your downline?

In the APS back office, click the referral link, and you will find the links to promote the APS system.

There are a number of places to start promoting these links online.

There are both paid advertising and free advertising methods to generate traffic.

Some Marketing Ideas include:

Traffic Exchanges - See List Building For Recommended Free Sites

Using the above programs you market the referral links to generate new sign-ups in to the opportunity.

When you receive new member sign-ups you need to provide assistance and support to these people to help them build their opportunity as well.

Referring your members to this support site is one method to help them learn and grow.

Personal BRANDING is another method used to promote online business opportunities and we will cover more on this method in another section to come soon.

What methods should be used to market the Niche Search Site?

With the Niche Search site your target market is larger than the opportunity and since it is more of an information or entertainment type site there are some methods that are used for marketing the opportunity that are not worth the time using to market the Search Site.

This first thing I did was email all my personal contacts a short email telling them about the search site and how I was able to locate people using it. The I provided them a link to the site.

Usually people that find an informative site useful or interesting will forward the link to their own contacts - Free Adverting for your site.

In addition, other marketing methods include:

Pay-Per-Click
twitter contacts
Facebook contacts
MySpace contacts
Craigslist
Blog Posts
Search Engines - Optimize Search Site for Search Engines see SEO section

There are also offline marketing methods you can use to promote the search site. Remember the key to making the search site work for you is driving traffic to it. Some offline ideas:

Business Card with website on it
Classified ads
Bumper Sticker

Using the search engines to get traffic to your Niche search site is going to be the most effect marketing method online.

The two options you have are:

1.-Pay-Per-Click systems with MSN, Google, and Yahoo
2.-Getting Site listed in the Search Engines for free traffic

Search engines, especially the big three, like to see unique site content and as a result we feel that personallizing the Niche Search Site Main page is a important first step.
