Global Domain International, Scam Or Big Money Maker? – Why You Are Highly Likely to Fail

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Have you looked at the GDI opportunity? Are you a new paid affiliate? Well this article is here to help you. I will help answer: Global Domain International, scam or money maker? And also highlight the pitfalls of many.

On paper GDI offer a very interesting product – Domain names and hosting at a very low price of $10 a month. You may ask yourself why wouldn’t you make an absolute killing with this opportunity? Well let us look at some of the classic issues:

a) Skepticism

b) Is it a pyramid?

c) Is it a scam?

d) Why should we buy a “.WS” I already have “.COM”?

e) Leads are to expensive

f) Don’t know how to market

There are many more.

The 60 day love period – Like most people when you start a new business you are enthusiastic and eager to make a great success of it. In my experience this lasts for approximately 60 days then if it doesn’t start with all the expectations met you start to fall out of love. As humans we do not like rejection, so our natural reaction is to remove the source of the rejection, your new business!

The harsh reality – Lets get real, the odds are stacked against you. The statistics say approximately 97% of network marketers will fail. So don’t take it personal the odds are against you.

The fight or flight response – There are two reactions when you hit the early signs of failure, fight through it or run for the hills. The 97% that I mentioned earlier are the ones that usually run for the hills.

Global Domain International, Scam or Money Maker? From my research there are clearly people in this business that are making good money. Like most Network marketing opportunities if people fail the first thing to do is to shout I have been scammed! In my opinion GDI is not a scam but you need to know how to market the business to stand a remote chance of joining the elite 3% that succeed.

How not to fail – First of all do not give up! Secondly change the way you think. Let us assume you get 10 leads and only 1 joins you that is $10 income. So instead of saying I get 9 rejections to make just 1 sale look at it this way: You got paid $1 per lead! Big difference.

Now let me get a bit more specific. You need to learn how to market and generate your own leads. Buying leads is too expensive and not effective. Also you need to know how to make commission on leads that say no. You can do this the easy or hard way. The hard way is to create your own custom leads system or alternatively you can investigate a proven leads system that will allow you and more importantly your down line system to duplicate.

This article was put together to answer the question: global domain international, scam or money maker? And explain why most network marketers fail. Take the advice in this article to help you make a success of your business.

To your success.

Domain Names Now Highly Prized

Domain Names Now Highly Prized

The growing importance of having an online presence plus the increased global access to the Internet and broadband technology have led to a big rise in the number of Domain names being registered over the past 18 months.

The number of Domains being registered is growing every year and now stands at over 160 million worldwide. Whilst the rush for Domain names in the late 1990s was often to simply bag the best ones, today Domains are being hosted and more often than not associated with an active Website.

The UK has about 7 million Domains registered and as a country is third in the Domain League table behind China and Germany. Most are .co.uk names with others like .org.uk , ltd.uk, me.uk and plc.uk taking less than 1% each. 

We have always recommended clients select a .co.uk Domain whenever available rather than a .com simply because it suggests that you are based in the UK and are therefore local. Recent research carried out by Yougov confirms that British Internet users are six times more likely to select a .uk Domain than a .com address when looking for information and products online. The survey also found that 62% believe that a .uk address suggests a company is local or more relevant than a .com.

Faced with a search engines results page with a mixture of .coms and .co.uk the .UK Domain is more likely to be selected, even if they are further down the page rankings. If you have a .com Domain it might be worth checking whether an equivalent .co.uk or at least very similar Domain is now available.

Now that Domains are more highly prized,  it is worth noting that Nominet, the UK principal registrar of .uk Domain registrations, has become very strict about renewals. Failure to renew .uk Domain on time or at least within the allowed period of grace, will almost certainly result in the Domain being removed from the register and made available for others to buy and use.

The length of a Domain name can vary from between 3 and 63 characters. The median length is 11 characters and those with over 30 characters account for less than 0.5% of the total register. It is good to keep your Domain name as short as possible but odd abbreviations do not always have the best results. Even if your company and or product name is long, it may be the best Domain to select.

Understanding the acronyms -

ccTLD: Country code top level Domain eg: .uk

DAC: Domain availability checker

ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers

Registrant: Individual or company name to which a Domain is registered—make sure yours is in yours.

SLD: Second Level Domain eg: .co.uk or .org.uk etc

Tag: The registration details or name tag of a Domain
