YouTube for Network Marketing

What It’s Good For

YouTube is great for conveying your brand and business without words. YouTube can also literally show the face of your business to give potential team members an authentic feel and see who is behind your team. YouTube videos do not have to have a huge production. To share the message of your business opportunity simply share your story. Why did you join GDI? What success have you found? Answer these questions in your video.

How It’s Unique

NO WORDS! Blogs and articles are great, but some people just don’t have the time or desire to read, read, read! Since YouTube is an open platform, you also don’t have to be a professional director or editor for your work to fit in. Anything on YouTube has the potential of going viral because video is easy to share and quickly watch. Not many blog posts go wild. YouTube videos are also extremely easy to embed into just about anything including your GDI site.

Ways to Use It

Use YouTube to give your business opportunity a human face. Film and edit short videos offering education and marketing tips. You can even members of your downline to share their own in video form and share it on your website and YouTube page.

People are more apt to watch a quick video than read a lengthy blog post, so give YouTube a try.

The GDI Opportunity: How It Works

As many of our season affiliates know, Global Domains International (GDI) is an amazing opportunity to take control of your career and earning power and create Income for Life. Beyond the income opportunity, GDI offers you the chance to have your own branded website, email addresses, internationalized domain names and many amazing features. Our offerings outside of the income opportunity are reason enough to sign up with GDI, but if you’re new, you may be asking yourself “how does it all work?” We’ve explained it simply below. Feel free to leave any questions you have in the comments.

Signing Up

When you sign up for GDI, you are essentially signing up for two things. You have agreed to sign up with a sponsor, or if you registered without a sponsor, one will be assigned to you. When you sign up with a sponsor, you become part of their team or downline. When you sign up people below you, they become a part of your team or downline. For each person you sign to your downline you are paid out $1 per month per person in your downline. This works the same way for the people above you, it just happens that you are part of their downline.

The second thing you are signing up for is our GDI products, which in the basic membership include a domain registration, hosting and 10 email addresses. All of which you can brand anyway you like and are yours for life. You also have access to GDI’s own SiteBuilder to simply build a great site as long as other add-ons like a message boards, photo gallery, URL forwarding and blogs that can be created using our WordPress plugin.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is how you are able to build you Income for Life. Above we talk about the $1 per level pay out. This is essentially your commission for marketing and selling GDI’s domain services and income opportunity.

Affiliate Income

As 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. Whenever one of them makes a sale or spends money themselves on a GDI service, you will receive 10% of every transaction, whether it is monthly or annual, which means long term, residual income for you.

The Products

From the moment you sign up with GDI you have access to some great products and services. These include 10 email addresses, a photo gallery, forum, WordPress plugin, our Inviter and more. To learn more about each product, check out our GDI Products Post.
