GDI - The Product, Income opportunity and me!! Part-I  

5 comments

We searched past 3 years for a suitable online income opportunity which could fetch our financial prosperity and could give us financial back-up in the recessions.... If you are a regular visior to this blog, you might have understood that- we have promoted 100s of online income opportunities in the recent past. Among them - some were stupid money games and others were overprice materials. This is our part of business. We join and try to evaluate every business opportunity that comes in our way-at first and then we provide a review to the affiliate program for our valued visitors to attract their kind attention.

So, after a lots of brain-storming, we finally settled on Global Domains International(GDI) as our main focus because it provide some REAL product that everyone can afford and a product that is indispensible for every online marketer- a website. That is why, we have changed the theme of our blog also. Before taking the decision to shift our focus, we had participated a number of Forums and tried to evaluate GDI. The result was obviously mixed one. In the next few minutes- we will try to evaluate the GDI webhosting service and online income opportunity as well to our best knowledge. We joined GDI on 22nd of September as an active member and we have THREE active members in our downline and we get 5-6 new prospects every day. So, it is in our interest, we need to train them about the GDI business in a phased manner.



(The .Fla video gonna to save your time)


The Products: The great advantage of the GDI domains is the ability to choose a domain name of your choice. Most of the good .com names are long since gone. If you want to purchase a SEO friendly domain with the targeted keyword in your domain name- you will find hardly the best one. High targeted keyword oriented domain names are consumed by the Bigboys. Further in the case of many of the other endings like .au, .us, .uk, etc many companies exist solely in buying up the best domain names to make a killing selling them to someone else at highly inflated prices. GDI with the .ws avoids this pitfall by ensuring the domain name is not sold as a separate entity, but only with the web hosting service. .ws is still new and now is the time to get the domain name you want. No additional $20 yearly fee for just the domain name registration.

Registrants of .ws "web site" domains include individuals, small businesses and major corporations throughout the world in over 180 countries and include such notable companies as Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) and AT&T (NYSE: T).


Besides, the package cover- a wonderful site builder suit, meta-tag creator, 10 free email accounts, domain privacy service (it is not available for these TLDS .bz, .cn, .in, .la, .us), email forwarding services, URL forwarding services etc. Full GDI product overview goes here.


Income Possibilities: Income potential with the GDI is huge. Many well known affiliate programs have used GDI as the me potential with the GDI is huge. Many well known affiliate programs i.g - empowerism.com, plug-in-profitsite have used GDI as the background money maker. GDI pay 50% of their earnings to the marketers in 5 matrix levels (10% in each level). Suppose, you promote 5 active members, each paying $10/month- you earn $5 in the first level affiliate commission. When each of them refer another 5 members, you get $30 (10% of the total 30 members) in your second level... thus the trail goes on upto 5 levels deep. Besides these affiliate commissions- GDI offers Current Referral Contests & Bonus Opportunites declared by GDI is an additional opportunity to earn an UNLIMITED number of $100 BONUS each week by simply referring FIVE new confirmed affiliates in a 7-day Contest Period. Plus- GDI has declared another $5,000 Heavy Hitter Bonus for referring 1000 confirmed affiliates within consecutive 4 week period. This section shows the confirmed leaderboards for our current weekly bonus contest. For every 5 new accounts signed up by an affiliate during 6 days, they receive $100 as bonus. Only new signups that convert to paying customers on our first charge attempt on their 7th day when their free trial ends are counted towards bonuses. Minimum payout to paypal account is $10 and $50 for bank wiring paid every 15th.

Is GDI An MLM? Yaap. GDI is an MLM. GDI offers multi level compensation to its customers in 5 matrix levels. Due to its compensation distribution structure many of the new joiners take it as an ponzi scheme. But it is not the fact. GDI has an established product base in the field of domain hosting services with its very noteworthy customer support service. If you raise an issue, you will get response in less than 24 hours. Otherwise, you are open to raise your issues in the GDI Forum also. People in the forum are very helpfull. If GDI could provide auto-responder service with its hosting pack- GDI would be the most unique business opportunity for the newbies. However, there are a bunch of GDI Plug-ins, which would help out the opportunity seekers to thrive their business. In the next part of the article, we will discuss about the plug-ins which you could use to promote GDI at best.


History & Background of GDI: This is now a well known story about two UCLA college mates who prowned the in the domain hosting business in the earnly 21st and revolutionized everything. Native Californians Alan Ezeir, 32, and Michael Reed, 31, went their separate ways after UCLA. Ezeir & Reed worked worked in sales for a variety of telecom and technology related companies. After a long houl of working years, they planned to do something innovative and ulitize their experiences gathered in their long working years for their own profits and setting up a new business. In 1996, the pair hooked up to launch Planet Earth Communications to sell long-distance phone service via the Internet. Tapping technology to the utmost, Reed and Ezeir built a business that required as little human contact with customers as possible -- allowing Planet Earth to offer variable rates frequently below those offered by the major carriers. This was just one side of their global business.


In the mid1990's when, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigned each nation a country code like- .au, .us, .in, uk; Mike & Reed focused on the domain extension .WS -- which belongs to the tiny island nation of Samoa, deep in the South Pacific. "We knew that a good, easy-to-remember country code could be marketable globally as a viable alternative to .com". So, that was the starting.


Global Domains International, Inc. (GDI) is based in Carlsbad, CA, has been named one of America's entrepreneurial growth leaders by Inc magazine, is currently ranked 7th among the Top100 Security Companies and 21st among Top100 with a registered growth of 757.1% with accumulated revenue worth $15.0 million for the year 2008. Obviously, the credit of their 3digit growth goes to the marketing strategy enviaged- which is unique one.

eBay Q4 Profit Breakups  

1 comments

EBay forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $2.02 billion to $2.17 billion, compared with $2.18 billion a year earlier. The value of goods sold on EBay's sites fell 1 percent in the third quarter, the first drop in the company's history, as international markets declined as much as the U.S.

EBay's marketplaces revenue rose 4 percent to $1.38 billion in the third quarter. New marketplace listings climbed 26 percent from a year earlier, the fourth consecutive quarterly increase, EBay said. Revenue rose to $2.12 billion from $1.89 billion, helped by growth in its PayPal Internet payments unit and global classified advertising. The company's PayPal unit logged much higher growth - 27 percent, with revenue rising to $597 million.

Gross merchandise volume, or GMV, the value of all goods that users sold on EBay's sites, fell 1 percent. The average selling price on EBay's Web sites fell 7 percent, as consumers globally were squeezed by higher fuel and food prices, job losses and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. They are buying ``fewer large ticket items,'' Donahoe said yesterday. Revenue from Skype, which added 32 million users in the quarter, climbed 46 percent to $143 million.

One thousand full-time employees and about 600 temporary and part-time workers will be fired by the end of this year, EBay said Oct. 6/2008. The job cuts will cost EBay $70 million to $80 million pretax, most of which will be recorded in the fourth quarter, and lead to annual savings of about $150 million.

EBay's number of new listings jumped 26 percent year over year to 700 million. But the number of active users - which is an important measure of how well it is doing bringing in new buyers and sellers - rose just 3 percent in the quarter to 85.7 million.

Reporter vs Expert - Why Most Bloggers Are Stuck Reporting  

1 comments

Courtesy - Yaro Starak

There are basically two types of bloggers in the world - reporters and experts - and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).

If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the two different methodologies. Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.

I’ll be frank; you want to be the expert.

Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.

Most Bloggers Are Reporters

The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).

There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.

Don’t Replicate Your Teacher

If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.

The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.

Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.

How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.

If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.

Report on Your Process, Not Others

The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.

It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there’s. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.

Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did.

You Are Already An Expert

Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don’t leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.

Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear.

Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.

Reporting Is A Stepping Stone

If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.

Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.

Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most experts really are.
