You probably market yourself everyday, whether it’s for a raise at work, negotiating with a teacher or simply making plans with a busy person. You’re marketing yourself in each interaction. Part of the reason this is second nature is that you know a lot about yourself. So to make marketing a product easier, it makes sense to know all you can about it. Here are a few tips to learn your product inside and out and market it with ease.

Or are you marketing all three? Take the time to learn abut GDI’s offerings and know them inside and out. The more you know about the products and services, the better you will be able to tailor your marketing pitch to each prospect. Start by watching our short Products and Services video to learn more.

What does it do?

So now you know exactly what GDI has to offer, but what can it do for someone? Get a deeper understanding of the products and services by brainstorming all the ways they can be utilized. The more ways you can think up to utilize GDI’s products and services, the more ways you can market them.

Who needs it?

Now that you’ve answered the first two questions, it’s time to think about your audience. Not just anyone, but your target audience. Who would benefit most from GDI? Who would work hardest to build their business? Identify your ideal audience then go find them! What kind of online behaviors do these people have? What sites are they most likely to visit?

Our Premium offering is for those affiliates who want more form their products and services and the chance to make more money. The best parts of being a Premium affiliate are listed below. Find out if it’s right for you or your downline.

Premium Commissions

The biggest draw of Premium is the chance to earn even bigger commissions. With Premium, GDI will pay out 75% of the revenue from Premium customers. That means 4 to 14 times larger commissions on GDI Premium customers in your five level downline.

Daily Ticket in GDI Lottery

If you follow us on Twitter, chances are you’ve seen our daily announcement of the winners of the GDI Premium Lottery. Winners receive new trial signups who do not yet have a sponsor. We select three winners daily. This means more downline building potential without any extra work.

Domain Privacy

Who doesn’t want more privacy online? Domain privacy prevents your personal information from displaying in the public whois. The law requires accurate and verifiable whois information for your domain at all times. GDI changes the information to our own, while you still retain ownership of the domain. This service is free with your Premium status.

Increased Storage     

Your SiteBuilder Gallery, Webmail, and Hosting all have increased storage with your Premium upgrade. This includes 50 email addresses (as opposed to 10 with basic) and 5GB of storage for your GDI email. SiteBuilder storage increases from 100MB to 1GB and hosting storage also increases from 100MB to 1GB. If storage is a priority, Premium is right for you.

Four Important Things Your Basic Affiliate Status Gets You

Domain

All affiliates are given a .WS domain. Your .WS allows you a chance at domain names you would otherwise be locked out of with .COM. Your .WS domain comes with instant activation, 20 sub domains, and options for parking and custom nameservers. GDI offers an optional domain privacy add-on for just $1 per month.  You can also take advantage of URL forwarding to forward to any domain with the option for masked forwarding. Your .WS domain is search engine optimized and is indexed by all major search engines.

Email

For basic affiliates, GDI’s email comes standard with 10 email addresses per domain and offers AJAX web interface as well as a mobile interface. GDI’s email also has cloud file editing and storage and personal spam control as well as POP3/IMAP support. Complete with tagging, conversations, and advanced search, your GDI Email will become your go-to email service.

Income Opportunity

As a basic GDI affiliate, you will be rewarded with a 10% commission on the revenue generated from each layer, down through a total of 5 generations, with no limit to how many “front line” (Layer 1) affiliates you may have and therefore no limit to your potential income. If you personally introduce just 5 affiliates and each of them do the same, you will have built a network of 3905 affiliates. Possibly the most simple and easy to understand way to explain the GDI affiliate program is as a type of referral program. Affiliates are rewarded for each new sign up they refer to their team. When your referral signs up with you, you receive a commission.

Bonus Eligibility

Affiliates are no longer required to purchase a DVD package or be an active Premium member to be eligible for the bonus. Now all active GDI affiliates (including basic) will be eligible to win the bonus. Each and every active affiliate can now earn an unlimited number of $100 bonuses each week.
