Bring up GDI as a topic in most IM forum, and you will be welcomed with anything from curious questions to furious verbal attacks. Why is that?

The main problem with GDI is not the product itself, but the way affiliates sell it. Many claim that “I made $4,500 in only two weeks with GDI!”. While super-affiliates can earn that kind of money with GDI, they are determined, know exactly what they are doing and are experienced. Most new GDI members on the other hand, are inexperienced with (Internet) Marketing, they must learn everything from step 1. Even though GDI provides a userfriendly and complete business solution, it is not a magic get-rich button.

One of the golden rules of marketing and business is: Be honest about the product that you are selling. By selling GDI as a self-maintaining super-income machine, you will only hurt the company reputation rather than strengthening it.  Being a GDI affiliate means building a business opportunity: It takes time, dedication and determination to succeed. Having a helpful and supportive upline means a lot for your future success with GDI, and your sponsor (GDI member whom you joined under) usually reach out to help you get started.

As for the myths, I published an article at GoArticles yesterday, and I wanted to mention it my blog as well. These are myths I have seen being brought up several times in numerous IM forums and blogs.

Myth: It is almost impossible to sell the product GDI because everybody already knows about it.

Fact: Thousands upon thousands of people world-wide are introduced to the Internet on a daily basis. They have no idea how to make money or how Internet Marketing works, but they are desperate to find a way. GDI is a perfect opportunity for beginners as well as experienced Internet users, it offers a complete solution with your own Back Office, domain name and hosting features. With GDI they get started building their own, affordable business from the moment they sign up, whereas it would take months and even years to learn how to establish a business on their own.

Myth: “I was told that it is easy to make money with GDI, but I can’t get anywhere with it, why?”

Fact: Thanks to the Internet, the word “easy” has developed into a sticky cliché poised with false promises and big claims, when it comes to Internet Marketing. If you put your mind to it, almost anything can feel easy, but for inexperienced Internet marketers, selling GDI as a product could become a challenge too great for them to overcome, so they simply give up. A dedicated upline is also important. They welcome new members, help them as much as they can, share information and otherwise provide them with support whenever they ask. It still requires effort to make money with GDI, but a helpful upline makes it better.

Myth: GDI is the most expensive web host service on the web.

Fact: As a web hosting and .WS domain name service, GDI is rather expensive at $10 for a membership, but GDI offers much more than that: It is a complete business solution and one of the best opportunities for anyone who wants to build their own business at almost no cost. In addition to your own www.YourWebsite.WS domain, you get 100MB storage, 10 e-mail accounts with 1GB storage each, URL forward, several professionally made web templates to use on your www.website.ws/username sales page, a template-driven website builder and more. You do not pay for the domain name and website alone, but a complete business solution.

Myth: “I sent tons of traffic to my GDI sign-up link, yet nobody signed up, so I was scammed by GDI!”

Fact: Many affiliates use Traffic Exchange websites to send visitors to their affiliate links, and complain about bad conversion rates. If you have surfed on TE ad pages, you already know that you will simply stop looking at the ads after a while; you just want the timer to count down, so that you can get to the next ad for more traffic credits. How would you expect other TE users to think differently? Educate yourself on SEO and you will soon understand how powerful free SEO traffic can be, when done right.

Myth: It is almost impossible for people who doesn’t speak English, to cancel their GDI membership.

Fact: As a security measure in place to protect their own user base, GDI members who wants to cancel their membership must call the main office in order to confirm. However, as not everybody speak English well, or at all, and the support department are only humans like you and me, who can understand if this is a problem for you, you can submit an e-mail and explain your situation to them. They are more likely to help you than not, depending on where you live. If you use PayPal when signing up for the 7 day free trial period, simply unsubscribe.

GDI is like any other business: You must work for the money

Like I mentioned earlier: Treat GDI like a business, because it is one. Some effort is required, and you will learn how to promote and sell a product. Starting your own business can be a painful experience, and it can all be gone over night together with all the money that you invested into it. With GDI on the other hand, all you need in order to build a business is already included in their complete and extremely affordable ($10 per month) solution:

  • Your own .WS domain name
  • Web hosting
  • 10 e-mail accounts with 1GB storage each
  • Web mail
  • Template-driven website builder
  • Strong support and leadership
  • Great user community to help you out, as well as your upline and sponsor.
  • Complete business opportunity with a solid company established in 1999.
