More Than Just a Domain

1 Comment

You often see us posting on the blog about the many features that GDI offers you beyond “just a domain name.” While a personalized and affordable domain is a huge selling point just in its self, we make sure to go the extra step to offer you some great products to build out your site and build out your business, included in your monthly charge. Read for our offerings and be sure to take advantage of all of them!

WordPress

Whether you want to start a blog, or just easily build a site, WordPress is a great “go to.” You can go to WordPress.com to register and create your own account, but why would you want to? We did the work for you. All you need to do is head to your Plugins area in the left hand navigation of the Members Area, click on it and click to turn your blog on and activate. WordPress is highly compatible and offers a huge amount of plugins, widgets and ways to create a super user friendly website, all easily accessed through your Members Area.

Gallery

Looking for a dedicated link where you can share photos with friends, family or whoever you want? Look no further. Also available in the Plugins of the Members Area, you simply need to activate the gallery and decide what link you would like to direct to the gallery. Do you want it to be your main page or a sub domain? The gallery is easy to access and upload and manage photos. Again, instead of having to create an photo sharing account somewhere else, GDI has already set you up with the gallery, you just need to decide when you want to use it.

Forum

Do you want a place to meet others, answer questions and get connected? Then activate our forum plugin. You can use the forum for any topic or idea you’d like; it’s a great way to answer questions for anyone visiting your site and network.

Inviter

So you love GDI, are making money and want to share it with even more people. Simple, just head to the Inviter from the left hand navigation and input email addresses of everyone you would like to share the opportunity with, we’ll send a personal email to each address listed inviting them to join GDI with YOU and sending them to what could be there domain. Just add in your contacts and we’ll do the rest.

Videos

Still wondering how to use and access some of our products and services? Check out our tutorial videos. These videos will give you step by step instructions and real time videos to show you how to get started with WordPress, the Inviter and much more.

The Basics of IDN

Leave a comment

If you haven’t visited www.WorldSite.ws to watch the IDN video, learn more about IDNs and search for your sites, head over there now! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.

What is an IDN?

Internationalized Domain Names, or IDNs as they are often called, are domain names that include characters used in the local languages that are not written with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet. An IDN can contain roman letters or can be comprised of characters from non-roman scripts such as Arabic or Chinese.

What does this mean for me?

Try to think of your favorite website. Now think of how easy it is for you to access that site, using your standard keyboard. Simple, right? The truth is, if you asked anyone outside of the Western world these same questions, you would get far different answers, especially if you asked anyone who communicated in a language that does not include traditional roman characters.

What does this mean for my business?

America is already saturated with internet users, and .com addresses. Until recently, anyone who wanted to access the internet had to type in a website address in roman characters regardless of their location in the world or the language they spoke. Now imagine how your daily routine might be a little more confusing if you had to type in the address to your favorite site in Chinese characters. IDNs are changing this limited way of accessing the internet.

How does GDI come in to play?

  • GDI is the registrar for .ws websites. .ws stands for World Site. While .com is distinctively American, .ws is distinctively global. Nothing sends the message of the opportunity with IDNs quite like the top level domain that means World Site. .ws domains are accessible across the globe.
  • The introduction of IDNs is creating a change and amazing opportunity unlike any seen since the original introduction of the internet. There is a virtual land rush on for these new domain names in foreign characters. Bank of America purchased loans.com for 3 million dollars back in 2000. Imagine what that could sell for in 2011 in Chinese, Thai, Russian and beyond.

Stayed tuned to our posts for more information on this amazing opportunity, set to go live June 28th!

New Tool: GDIWatch, A Free Downline Builder for All GDI Affiliates

5 Comments

We spoke many times on this blog of the power of Facebook. Now, Affiliate Growth Council member and Leader Board fixture, Tissa Godavitarne has gone one step farther by creating an app to help you with your GDI opportunity, no matter your sponsor or earnings.

I joined GDI as an affiliate back in August of 2008. Over the years, I’ve built a substantial residual income with GDI. Most of you have probably seen my name (Tissa Godavitarne) on the weekly GDI leaderboards. Without a doubt, the number one question I’m always asked by GDI affiliates is, “Tissa, how can I duplicate your success with GDI?”. That has always been a tough question to answer. What works for me, may not work for you, and vice versa. But with more than 500 million active users, Facebook can work for everyone! That’s why I created the Facebook app, GDIWatch.

GDIWatch leverages “social proof” and the viral power of Facebook to build your GDI downline. Here’s how it works: Every couple of days, GDIWatch will automatically post real-time earnings by GDI leaders on your Facebook wall (featuring your affiliate link). These wall posts let your Facebook friends – and their friends – see that real people are making real money with GDI. This is known as social proof, and it’s a proven marketing strategy. So even if you’re just starting out, GDIWatch allows you to leverage the success of GDI leaders to build your GDI downline.

GDIWatch is 100% free. It’s also free of any advertising, cross-promotion or cross-sponsoring. GDIWatch will work for you regardless of whose downline you’re in, or what GDI “system” you may be using. So stay with your current sponsor and system, but add GDIWatch (and Facebook!) to your marketing arsenal. Help your downline by telling them about GDIWatch as well (use the ‘Contact Downline’ feature in your GDI back office). Since GDIWatch is free and simple to use, it can be easily duplicated by your downline. Remember, when your downline earns, you earn!

Start leveraging social proof and the viral power of Facebook to build your GDI downline. Start using GDIWatch today.
