Global Domains International is undoubtedly a very popular home based business, but very few affiliates make a success of themselves. Today we show you what you actually get and more importantly how to use it.

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.

Originally known as .ws for Western Samoa, GDI re-branded this as WebSite and began it’s assault on the home based business industry in 2004.

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

1) Your choice of .ws domain extension. This allows you to create your own website.

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.

Basically, they provide you with your own website upon joining. You can use your site for whatever you want to do. Whether you want to create a family website, a parental advice forum, a blog, a site which allows you to take your hobby online and look at building a name for yourself in a particular niche… The possibilities are as endless as your imagination. Most individuals, however, are first turned on to the idea of this program by it’s lucrative earnings opportunity.

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….

Well over 80% of affiliates fail to make any money. With an affiliate plan this appealing, how is this possible?

* 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 often set unrealistic goals, quitting after two weeks or a month. You wouldn’t open a business in the real world and do this, so don’t do it online either. This occurs because making money online is often associated with being ‚instant‘ and ‚easy‘ by poor sponsors looking for a quick commission at somebody’s expense.

So there you have it. There is a mammoth opportunity to build a stable monthly income within Global Domains International but the fact is if you are not prepared to work at your business or you get sucked in by the usual talk of making money for doing nothing you can expect to miss the chance in front of you by a country mile. It’s not for everyone, but if you decide it’s for you we wish you the best of luck.
