Global Domains Review

Though the prospect of working from the convenience of your home is appealing, it’s difficult to find a genuine opportunity that’s profitable as well as feasible.
Global Domains International is an MLM company that sells .ws domains. Many testimonials claim this to be an excellent income generator; here’s a review to see if it’s true.

About The Business

When .com domains monopolized the market, Michael Reed and Alan Ezeir came out with an idea to introduce .ws domains that would be identified with the term website, as well as provide an avenue to own a domain name chosen by customers that wouldn’t be otherwise available in the .com business. Accordingly, Global Domains was launched in 2000 and .ws became a favourite of many in a matter of months.

Established as an MLM venture, this business was promoted as a good work-from home opportunity giving customers the prospect to make money through promoting GDI WS domains.

Investment And Returns

You will need to put in $10 per month for your domain which comes with a 10 page website, domain, a website builder, 10 email addresses and support.
You become an affiliate with GDI when you get someone to sponsor you. Once this is done, you can sponsor others; for each person you bring in, you get $1. You also get $1 for each person your downline brings in for up to 5 levels. Earn $100 for recruiting 5 people within a week and $5000 for bringing in 1000 paid affiliates within 4 weeks.

Why Global Domains?

Testimonials on the GDI site praise this income opportunity as one that’s self selling and an easy way to generate thousands of dollars every month. Most affiliates claim the promotional video alone is enough to market your business. If you recruit five people and they continue the chain of recruitment, you get to earn as much as $3125 for the 5 people you’ve sponsored. 

Is This GDI Business Worth Taking Up?

Granted, the income figures seem amazing for an opportunity to work from the convenience of your home; but this business has its own drawbacks too. How many people do you know who’d be willing to spend $120 a year to get their own website; that too when they could get a site at a cheaper rate or even for free.? To a regular working professional, this product wouldn’t be of much use if it weren’t for the income opportunity. However, to people who really want a site of their own with a domain name they prefer, Global Domains has a good product to offer.  

Marketing GDI

If your goal from this business is to earn much more than just your investment, it’s not enough if you follow the training procedure strictly and bring in 5 people hoping they’ll recruit others. You need to highlight the advantage of a .ws domain extension that offers clients a gateway to have their desired name for their website.

For an online product such as this, outdated marketing techniques such as cold calling or meeting customers will not work. Use the reach of the internet to your advantage and promote your product online. Even while marketing online, avoid flashy, exaggerated advertising that make your product seem like a scam. Instead, reach out to target audience in a way that would make them take notice and approach you with inquiries. This is the kind of business that would flourish when marketed well.
