Testimonial

‘Much appreciation for your insight and guidance with GDI. I've only tried online marketing for the past few months. I must say your site is truly an inspiration. The tools I've utilized have worked out wonderfully. I’m still working hard to get leader board status with GDI but have managed to gain a wealth of knowledge from your marketing resources tab as well as make $300.00 so far. I know that doesn't seem like much but it's a start for someone trying to acheive supplemental income to help my husband with the bills. Thank you so much!’

How much money can I make with GDI?

  • GDI, my take: GDI attracts Affiliate Marketers because of the bonus program they offer. It’s hard to find affiliates offering Residual income 5 levels deep ON TOP of a Bonus Program that pays $100 for every 5 referrals…..and unlimited at that. Let’s face it: Working with GDI is for getting referrals and building your downline for long term financial success – bottom line. My main focus is on just that. For a cheap $10 a month you can run a business with a domain to gain referrals and get paid for it. So, let’s run some numbers because GDI pays 2 ways:
    1. $1 Per Referral 5 Levels Deep
      • When You Refer 5 people = $5 (plus bonus; see $100 Bonus Info below)
      • When They each Refer 5 = $25 (5×5)
      • When Their 5 Refers 5 = $125 (25×5)
      • When Their 5 Refers 5 = $625 (125×5)
      • When Their 5 Refers 5 = $3125 (625×5)
    2. On top of the above you earn $100 Bonuses For Every 5 Referrals You Refer in a Week:
      • 5 referrals = $100
      • 10 referrals = $200
      • 15 referrals = $300
      • 20 referrals = $400
      • And So On
      • Unlimited Bonuses

    Most importantly, GDI will provide referrals a domain and an already built website for GDI. Your GDI domain can be used to forward and/or mask. Here is an example: My Domain for GDI: www.ResourceGroup.ws; you can choose from many pre-made sites as well, which is a plus.

How do I pick out my Domain Name?

  • Click GDIdomains to pick out your domain name
  • Keep it short.
    • The shorter your URL is, the easier it will be for someone to type it in.
  • Make sure it makes sense for you or your business.
    • Your .WS domain name for your own WebSite will be memorable. The name of your choice. The WebSite domain name that is your business name is yours now at WebSite.ws.
  • Think about how it will look on your business cards.
    • …and letterhead, and every other print or promotional item that you will need to promote it. Obviously, a shorter URL will fit much better than a longer one, no matter how "ideal" the longer might seem at the time. For example "kidplace.WS" will be not only more effective than "countyyouthmuseum1.WS," but also easier to put on your business card and other items.
  • Should I purchase more than 1 domain from GDI? Absolutely not.

Where should I host my website after I purchase them?

  • There are many places to host your domain.  Here are a couple that might interest you.
    • HostGator offers hosting Deals starting at just $3.96 per month.
    • GoDaddyHosting currently offers 20% off New 12+mo Hosting plans.

Bottom Line: GDI’s main benefit is the affiliate program – and will work the best in that realm. GDI provides the Site Builder tools and Emails that are helpful to beginners who do not particularly have ideas on how to build a website. For some, other Site Builders are free and work better:

    • All Internet Based Businesses must have a website. 
    • To do this, you must register a domain (yourname.com or .net or .ws, etc.)
    • So – whether or not you choose GDI, you will still have to pay a monthly fee to a company to register a domain and host your website.
  • GDI Encourages Purchasing DVD's and Leads through them and Marketing to Friends and Family.
    • I will not and do not recommend any of these "old school" marketing techniques. 
    • Internet Marketing is the only way to go with this company. 
    • No need to purchase business cards from GDI either.  Click here for free cards.
