The First Sign Up

If you’re part of the affiliate program, the first sign up is cause for celebration. With GDI’s Learning Bonus, you can celebrate with cash is your sign up converts to an affiliate. No matter when it happens, your first sign up is cause for celebration. You may get one within the first week, or maybe it will take months.leader2

Some of GDI’s most successful affiliates had slow starts, unsure of whether to stay with the program. Sticking with it allowed them to be more successful than they imagined, securing a spot on the Leader Boards again and again. So don’t be discouraged if that first sign up doesn’t happen right away. When it does happen, it’s time to celebrate and begin work for the next one!

How to Use GDI’s WordPress Theme

wordpressWordPress is a great option if you want more freedom for design and widgets on your WebSite but aren’t comfortable building your own. WordPress can be overwhelming with the number of options for themes and designs, so GDI offers our very own WordPress theme. Here’s how to use it.

 

  1. Activate your WordPress blog and go to Edit from the plugins menu.
  2. You will log into your new WordPress blog and be on the Dashboard. Here you can see all the options you have to play with.
  3. On the left-hand side navigation select Appearance>Themes. Within this category you will see the ready made GDI theme: GDI Template 1.0.
  4. Select Activate below the GDI Template 1.0 and you’re ready to use your WordPress blog and GDI theme.

If you still aren’t sure if you want to use the GDI Template for your blog, here are three reasons you should:

 

  1. A link directly to your sponsor page, no set up needed. In the top right corner of your blog is a red button that says “Get your own blog” that leads visitors right to your sign up page.
  2. Buttons to all your favorites. The right sidebar of the GDI theme has buttons for GDI’s Income Calculator, the 7 Minute Movie and multiple video presentations. Again, no work needed on your part.
  3. GDI’s colors and theme. The professional design and theme colors of the GDI Template give your blog a professional look and also shows you’re a legitimate affiliate with use of the GDI logos and colors.

Frequently Asked .ws Domain Questions

You don’t have to be a websitq&a2e developer to understand GDI’s domain offerings. Your .ws domain is easy to use and can be configured many different ways. Here are a few common questions relating to your DNS and subdomains. Leave any additional questions for us in the comments.

What does it mean if my service is “Primary” ?
The primary service will display directly at your domain. For example: http://demonstration.ws. All other services that are “on” must be at subdomains. For example: http://blog.demonstration.ws. Only one service may be primary. Other DNS options (like “SiteBuilder”, “Hosting”, “URL Forwarding”, or “Parking”) cannot be used while a primary service is turned “on”.

What is a subdomain?
Domains can be divided into levels by the use of a dot. For example: in subdomain.domain.ws the “top level” domain is “ws”. The second level domain is “domain”. The third level domain is “subdomain”. A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain; for example, the third level domain is a subdomain of the second level domain, and the second level domain is a subdomain of the top level domain. Subdomains can have completely different sites than the domain they are subordinate to.

How many subdomains can I have?
For each domain, Basic members will receive 20 subdomains (5 per service), and Premium members receive 100 subdomains (25 per service).

Will I be charged for subdomains I create?
No. There is no cost for creating subdomains.
