Is Global Domains International a Scheme? - An Honest Answer

What Is Global Domains International (or GDI)

Global Domains International is a multilevel marketing program that offers its members the opportunity to make a residual income by paying them a recurring commission for each new member they recruit.

How Much Does It Cost, and What Do Members Get?

The monthly membership fee is $10 and new members get a free 7 day trial. Included with the monthly fee is a domain name of the.WS extension, webhosting, website builder, and 10 custom email accounts. Plus, members get the opportunity to earn an income by promoting a program they use themselves.

Is This A Scheme?

The answer for this question is kind of shaded gray. Meaning, that while Global Domains International is a legitimate company that offers a real product (domain registration), it is advertising the product in the shadow of the income opportunity. Most people learn of GDI while searching for "work-at-home" opportunities rather than domain registrars.

So is the income opportunity a scheme, or can someone actually make good money with it? Again there is no clear answer to this question. The company actually does pay its members legitimately for the recruits they are able to bring in. However, the fact that its payment structure is shaped like a five level deep pyramid, means that at some point there are going to be people at the bottom who don't earn much. Not to mention, the fact that it is far from easy to get a substantial amount of members sign up under you.

Is It Worth It?

For someone who has a good understanding of internet marketing concepts, this could be worth pursuing.

As for an average person who isn't all that familiar with the internet, it would be a good idea to stay away from programs like this, at least for now. There are many places online to go if you want to learn about internet marketing. Do some research and learn as much as you can, if your still interested in what GDI has to offer after that, then at least you will have the knowledge on how to market it.
