One of the most frequently searched online businesses is Global Domains International. Despite it’s large reputation, however, very few members of this company are successful. In this post we detail what you get as a member and more importantly how to use it to get the most from your business.

In business since 1999, GDI actually started out without the much advertised earnings opportunity associated with it right now. When it began it was just a company you could buy .ws domain extensions from, nothing more.

The .ws domain extension originates from Western Samoa. The owners of GDI decided to purchase the rights to this and re-branded it to stand for ‘WebSite’ instead. It wasn’t until 2004 that the company then introduced it’s lucrative affiliate plan.

There are four main ingredients in the GDI product package, which are as follows:

1) Your own .ws domain name.

2) Standard GDI web hosting tools.

3) A lucrative affiliate business is included, too.

4) GDI provides a training library including live webinar conferences hosted by successful affiliates and regular featured tips and tricks teaching the basics of how to become one’s own boss from home with the program. The main downfall in this area is that most affiliates simply don’t apply it.

You are free to design your own personal website as you wish. Most affiliate who fail in GDI are those who don’t have any interest in this area, as they are purely driven by it’s affiliate plan so no real ‘value’ is gained by them. In truth you can make an online income with the product alone, if used right, as it allows you to take any favorite hobby and establish yourself as a leader in that niche online in your spare time. This can lead to massive career opportunities born out of your own dream. But the majority of people who join GDI do so because of it’s potentially life changing affiliate plan.

We have used many affiliate plans which pay way more than the $1 per referral on offer in GDI, however none of them came close in terms of long term income as GDI opens the door ‘residually’. This means you are paid a commission each time you introduce a new member to GDI through your signup page, and you are paid again every single month thereafter, too. This can mount up quickly if utilized correctly.

This means you can build an income each month to the point where, once you have attracted a few serious individuals to your business, you can relax a little knowing that each time they build their business it also builds yours, too. This is passive income, and it is a big feature in GDI’s attractiveness. Most affiliates, however, don’t get to that stage. They mistake this appeal to mean ‘it is easy money’ and they don’t get their business off the ground….

The shocking fact is over 80 percent of GDI affiliates fail. This is for a number of reasons.

* No support from their uplines. Too many GDI reps promise an easy ride and then provide not even a contact email address.

* Most new members have no idea how to get started.

* People don’t take themselves or their online business seriously. They set unrealistic goals such as expecting to be in profit within a week despite having no previous experience or any idea where to start. This is largely due to the fact that there are so many dreadful sponsors out there who tell you that if you join their team in a particular business they will do all of the work for you, provide instant success or give you a system that does everything for you. Ultimately if you don’t work at your business your business won’t work.

Global Domains International provides a quite unique opportunity. With such great riches possible it’s amazing so few people focus on it enough to get any results. It certainly is a business which is not for everybody. If you decide to try your hand at this home business we wish you the very best, and we hope you enjoyed reading our overview which will stand you in good stead for the future.
