TJamMoneyman,
I was wondering about your paid advertising. Did you follow the Adwords Ad campaign as the video instructed? Did you change it any or did you do something completely on your own?
It seems pretty detailed in it's set up, but I was wondering if that was where you got your sign ups came from.
Thanks.

I used a 'guaranteed targeted visitors' package from REVISITORS . COM as my only SWS advertising campaign.
I also mentioned SWS on YUWIE, and in forums of course.
But EVERYONE in YUWIE does SWS it seems.
And, once my revisitors campaign ran out, so did my SWS signups.
So, I can only assume that the revisitors campaign got the signups for me.
If it's people from this forum, they don't seem to answer my welcome emails (where I make offers to my sign-ups), which would seem strange to me.
FIVE of them sprung for a GDI membership, so I am certain the revisitors traffic was 'real'.

TJamMoneyman,
How fast did the sign ups come? 5 in a week?
I'm looking at different traffic generation methods. So far the most effective on has been Google Adwords. I was actually getting about 3 sign ups a week. Not bad, but with the $1 commission, I was actually spending more money than I made.
I've determined that the best way to make GDI pay off is to get at least 5 sign ups a week (or more...of course).
I don't mind spending $20 if it's going to bring me $100-$200. It just makes business sense.
I noticed your link for mammothlist.com... how's that working?
Thanks.

Mammoth list looks VERY promising.
I have gotten 3 payouts so far, doing no promotion whatsoever - but for this and two other forums.
Not much in the way of forum response so, I can only assume it's the promotional effort of the other people on the list - a nice resource!
No guarantees with paid traffic.
And lots of folx think paid traffic is worthless, or click-bots.
Though like I said, I got real human responses.
Any advertising strategy/cost is going to have to be worth the payout from what you are promoting!
For this reason, I start low, and see what results I get.
MTE.url is a traffic co-op that has done me well.
And only $10 per month, gets you 2500++ hits from various highly rated and not so highly rated TE's.
Again, I have gotten signups to my SUPER EDEN website using MTE.
With MTE you can buy more than one co-op position for the same website, doubling your traffic, if you like the results.
Veretekk, and LINK REFERRAL, are also good advertising options.
EXCELLENT advertising options, I've been told!

it's a very lengthy process, and most prospects will more often than not go through the whole process and hence you could miss out on some commissions...
but I'm sure it'll get better...the issue I have with it is that given the amount of income streams it gives away, the prospect might not likely be interested in joining your primary biz...
because as someone said, everybody is looking to advertise their own business...
so the SWS can essentially be seen as an income stream that could help with the advertising costs and what not...
oh well just my two cents...

How is SWS different than Renegade marketer. I've used renegade network marketer and it seem good. I looked at SWS but never bought into it.

I was with GDI but I cancelled before the trial ended only because of something my sponsor did. I really wanted to stick with the program. How can I get back started again.

web20mentor: So please clarify this for me....the Spider Web system is a marketing funnel for GDI although it is possible to use it for other things. Do I have this right?
There is a SPIDER WEB SUCCESS TEAM that basically takes you through the paces of promoting SWMS or ANY website you want to.
It seems very good with a comprehensive list of paid and free ad resources and 'how to' advice.

I joined SWS and was impressed with the video tutorials. However, i had a couple of questions to ask my sponsor, so I called him, left him 2 messages. Nobody got back to me. Couldn't connect with the forum, there seemed to be a problem. I had a problem with my link to the next page on one of the videos, as it wasn't displaying, so I couldn't go any further. There were a couple of issues and I felt like I was on my own. Therefore I cancelled GDI and have left it at that. I hope you guys are having better luck than I did.

I can understand THAT Kazzy19612,
The SWMS system SERIOUSLY needs to get beyond that BETA 2.0 stage.
There are supposed to be '22 streams of income', but I think I have only been able to set up 10 or something like that.
I don't know whassup with those other 12 so I wish some SPIDER-MASTER would enlighten the common class on this.
I too was about to cancel my GDI which I got into because of a DIFFERENT downline system - moreEgold.
I wasn't getting ANY GDI refs until I set up my SWMS pages.
I got a number of SWMS refs using a guaranteed traffic package.
Several of those members upgraded to GDI, and I am halfway through GDI paying for itself, with little to no effort on my part. Only the guaranteed hits I purchased.
I guess I can't recommend GH's though, since everyone else seems to think they are so worthless,
But I will say that they worked for me and my SWMS promotion.
Still, there are many ways to promote GDI, and judging from the leaderboards at least, people are signing up to GDI, on the REAL!!
You may want to consider looking into all this further when you get the chance to.
G L 2 U!

opendomain: I'm not sure about self-bank just yet. I've sent a few emails out and not heard anything back.
FYI:
SELF-BANK is now available for inclusion into your SWMS setup.
Apparently, SWMS is now up to 22 income streams.
And of course, not all of them are ready for setup.
SELF-BANK seemed very promising so I am glad to see this one available... FINALLY!!

Even better, SELF-BANK is AUTOMATICALLY setup for all who were members as of June 20, 2008.
That will automatically include your entire SWMS downline.
You get $100 in advance cash for each member.
I just woke up to find $900 in my account!!
Now, advance cash is money that can be spent on ANYTHING at any SELF-BANK participating merchant!!
Sound good?

You know I must admit I really stopped looking into SWM as it kind of went south when they went through their "blogging issue" BUT I will say that just within the last week or two I started taking another look at it and asking my downline members who had stalled to give it a shot and to my surprise I've seen like 16 signups between a few people in my downline, 2 people have already made the weekly $100 bonus and 2 more are 2 sign ups away from making it as well.. Now those few people who were stuck and not really sure what to do have found a new enthusiasm for both GDI and marketing online.
I took another look at SWM and see that they added some stuff and finally got rid of the blog they were having troubles with. I'm all but about a few days away from getting another GDI account just to use it to focus on SWM.
TJ, I'm glad to see you finally found something that works for you, congratulations and I wish you further success.
I'll have to give some of the guaranteed traffic ideas a shot.
Have you found more success using the virus type ads or the actual SWM ad?
Thanks,
Gilbert

Anyway,
yes the blog has been obliterated.
No more.
Google Adsense was also eliminated from the 22 streams.
(I don't know what the actual stream number is. It may still be 22 since a number of new sources were added).
This doesn't bother me since I didn't understand these accounts anyway!
SELF BANK, is going to have to have some MERCHANTS in order for my $900 to be worth anything!
But, SB has all these specials - a FREE pro-upgrade.
And you can have a MERCHANT account for FREE - no setup cost.
A SB merchant account will cost you $50 a month though.
But SELF BANK really seems to be a 'the next new thing' deal.
Imagine - being able to access any or ALL of your bank/money accounts IMMEDIATELY and pay for things - from your cell phone!
And yes, there are security measures to insure your account is protected.
And yes also, this is new, so we'll have to see how well all of this REALLY works.
But SB seems to be something you definitely want to have an account with, if only to see how all this pays out.

And even though a SELF BANK merchant account costs $50 a month.
Once you get 5 signups, it is FREE!

LOL welcome to the wonderful world of Contest Bonuses:
https://www.website.ws/kvmlm2/contests.dhtml?language=english
THIS is where you make your money. Don't get me wrong the residuals are great, but $100 every week is also great.
I've seen people hit this in their first week, and i've seen people never hit it and come oh so close(I've done that myself like 8 times)
I was halfway ready to start signing my kids up LOL JK.
I think there is alot to be done still with SWM but I also think that based on what I've seen the basics are their and the plan is sound for anyone not really sure on how to get started on something simple.
If you haven't started marketing online or are still diong the research this is a great program to get started with. Literally EVERYTHING is layed out in very easy to follow step by step videos.

I LOVE SEEING SPIDER LOVE, I'm in love with the Spiderweb System and My down line seems to be just as excited as I am. GDI is awsome because, Ya you sign up for $10 bucks a month but once you have 10 people that covers the cost.

yeah it really is that simple, sometimes this takes 1-2 months i've seen it reached as soon as the first month. I have this gal in my downline who is literally blowing up, 8 sign ups in the last 5-6 days using SWM. She's invested $50 total for advertising costs and her GDI and already made that back via bonus on top of her residuals. Already her 2 of her downline members have 2 signups. the only horrible thing is that she's in my 4th tier and not in my second

I don't know how well SWMS works for me yet, but it does seem to respond well to guaranteed traffic.
Every GT deal I used on SWMS got at least SOME sign ups...
Maybe its' K. Roundy yelling WAKE UP!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!! at the very beginning of the audio for the referral page!
Now if my GDI were to 'blow up', well...!!

As soon as I find out i'll let you know. I'm still waiting for details myself.
I swear if I could get a hold of 1/3 of my downline I would be happy. It's amazing how many people sign up but never respond to VM, emails, smoke signals, or carrier pigeons.

TJamMoneyMan and OpenDomain...
Any idea when the spiderweb system is supposed to graduate from Beta? I've read the whole thread here, and I only see about 3 of the "22 streams of income" doing anything.
I watched one of the videos, which gave the impression that the system was up and running, but at this point it doesn't sound like it's anywhere near full working capability.
Honestly, that has me wary. Time is money, so I don't want to waste my time on something with no return.

OK, I signed up for the spiderweb marketing system tonight. I have been floundering in network marketing for over a month now so I decided to give this a shot to see if the training with this system could help me. I am already a GDI affiliate. Am I going to be able to merge my existing membership onto the spiderweb marketing system?

Hi: Have been a member since April, 2008 but relatively inactive due to changes going on at the site. One downliner didn't follow instructions and just now is starting over. Google is taking down the Referrals at the end of August according to the last word received. I hear they may change their minds about that.
This is my first post and was hoping to see a highlighted signature but am stopped from getting it, even though following WAHF instructions to the letter.
Also, have had zero luck uploading my too large pic. The Picasa 2 says one thing but doesn't give the promised picture resizing slidebars.

1st. yes you can use your existing GDI account so if you already have one and have run aground this is a good place to move next.
2nd Honestly I stopped using it while they finished up their growing pains, though it does still look like they are in beta I can't argue with the success of my downline. I do not personally use SWM other than as another option for people to try something new with a little more automation, I have been debating whether or not to completely convert my site to SWM or to simply get another domain, at this point it's still in the air.
I generally will not promote something in beta simply because I don't like having to change things once I get started unless I have to or see a benefit. At one point I did convert over to SWM completely, but then reverted back to my old design simply because SWM was going through so many growing changes with the blog that I found myself losing money simply because the site was not functional. I gave it a week and swapped back. I've since looked at it again and it looks like the CORE is set now and the marketing is also there, If you're going to put some effort and a little money into it. I suppose what appeals to me is the following:
Excellent Video Setup and step by step instructions for getting a site up.
A sound set of marketing plans.
No money out of pocket for me because I'm already a member of GDI
Free marketing methods
Pretty good capture pages and follow ups.
The fact that I see it working everyday with my downline.
As for the 22 streams...
I simply don't see them either, perhaps I'm not looking hard enough, but for me so long as my GDI downline keeps growing I'm all for it.
Hope this helps.

Good question Valentine!
I wish I knew, or someone would tell me!
One thing I will say is, even though only 3 or so are 'doing anything', SWMS is still an excellent learning tool.
You will see how people are making money online in different ventures.
After a while, you'll see that you can set up your own 'streams of income' to welcome folx into.
One thing that sticks out to me is that SELF-BANK stream.
I'm personally not giving up on SWMS until I find out more about SELF-BANK!

Heck, we are ALL (or have been) floundering I'll bet, Mellin!
Anyway, I too was/am a GDI affiliate and SWMS really revitalized my GDI downline - I was JUUUSSSSTTT about to cancel on my GDI membership until SWMS came along!
Yes, you can definitely 'merge' your GDI membership into your SWMS setup. Just use the GDI username you already possess.
bfaltd: As for the 22 streams... I simply don't see them either, perhaps I'm not looking hard enough, but for me so long as my GDI downline keeps growing I'm all for it.
Yes, SWMS is great for GDI downline development, BUT unlike many other GDI promotion sited, SWMS is FREE!
It also converts well, what with K Roundy's voice over 'shout outs', and the so VERY simple VIDEO SETUP SERIES - tailor made with the newbie in mind.
For this reason alone, SWMS is invaluable IMHO.
Free to join.
Great GDI downline builder.
With POTENTIAL for the future.
Why NOT promote SWMS???
