GDI - who's on it?  | | So, I've been tap dancing on the thin line between making this leap and staying in the safe zone, whereby obviously letting the opportunity pass.
Again, like many opportunities, there will always be mixed reviews. One thing I noticed is that the number of good reviews outnumber the negative ones so that must speak for itself.
Although, I think that the program and one's success is not limited to the number of referrals he/she an bring in on a monthly basis. It appears to me that you also need to have a good sponsor to guide you.
Now, considering that Tissa Godavitarne is almost always on the leaderboards of GDI, one would think that the best move would be to join under his downline. Part of me thinks that it isn't a very good idea...Why? Well, he gets a great number of sign ups weekly and I think it's safe to say that many people aren't exactly digital marketing geniuses. Most are just newbies. Since this guy gets hundreds of sign ups per week, how can a sponsor like that effectively be able to teach people and guide his own downline when he has a downline of more than 10,000? I did further digging and I was right. Some people who signed up under him said they didn't get much help. I wasn't surprised about that. What did surprise me is that Tissa gets people to sign up under him in other sites that has paid memberships. Well, it's no wonder why he can offer the $125 USD commissions. He gets a good amount when you sign up for sites under him. He gets the affiliate commission which is really a good way to earn online as well. He is a marketing genius, I must say.
Going back to whether or not I'll sign up for it. I still don't know. I think it's a pretty legit way to earn if you focus and put some time into it. You can go on Autopilot later on when you're satisfied with your earnings. That sounds pretty tempting apart from the bonuses and recurring income 5 levels deep. Still, I think this isn't for your average internet surfer.
As I said, I'm still getting my feet wet with all these digital stuff. I am familiar with ad campaigns but I still believe in familiarizing myself with things before I proceed any further.
Does anyone out there want to share their experience with GDI?

| | | | | | 1. SomethingSea (166) | 4 months ago | Well, I don't like it, myself. Joined 3 times and left each time. I'm not that great with social marketing, though. I found that the main problem was that the deal wasn't so great. You get a 7-day free trial, but that's not exactly enough. After that, you pay $10 a month for what you could get at a cheaper price. And really, couldn't you just get a free website instead? There are tons out there. But yes, if you can find a way to bundle GDI with something else, then that would probably be a good bet. Heck, if you can find a way to make GDI last, I'll join under you! It's got great potential, but it's just not enough... imo.

rg0205 (1710) | 4 months ago | 3 times ey?
I think it has a lot to do with marketing strategy. Some people even market offline, like putting ads in the local paper/ grocery stores...just about anywhere. Yep, I'm aware of the trial thing but didn't bother to sign up yet because as far as I know, you need to call them to cancel your subscription, right? That's a bit of a hassle I think.
I think GDI isn't for everyone. I have yet to use its potential to the full extent because right now Im just brainstorming on the hows and whats of digital marketing.
There are a ton of people out there who make a lot of money out of GDI but in my personal opinion, most of them will not share their marketing secrets because if they do, they will just end up having more competition.
Yes, okay, they do share but not all because if someone signs up directly with them, they get the 100 USD per 5 sign ups whereas, if they get a sign up through a downline, they just get the $1 recurring monthly income.
It's easy to come up with a marketing packaging I think but of course, you must promise to deliver on what you promote. I personally am scared of that bit because I dont wanna start a marketing campaign only to disappoint and make people feel as if they've been duped.
Clickbank, yes, so most of us know about it, but again, how do you promote the products? And while it is another source of income, really, what I would prefer is to make some money on GDI first (in case I sign up) before I am asked to sign up elsewhere like Clickbank blah blah.
Thanks for sharing your experience:-)

rg0205 (1710) | 4 months ago | I don't think that it's a scam...I mean, the GDI offer. I do think that Tissa's marketing scheme is misleading to say the least.
$125 sounds tempting but the first time I heard of this, my first thought was "whats the catch?" When I looked at the GDI site and payment scheme I noticed recurring income and the bonus so how is it that he's able to pay that much for everyone that signs under him? Since I was fairly familiar with Affiliate Marketing, I thought: "Hah, that must be it." After doing some digging, I was right.
Tissa lures people into signing up under him primarily because he's on the leader boards. Then he talks about converting leads to sign ups but he doesn't give much guidance in doing so.
His monthly hosting services is like $30 now and yes, the payment threshold is at $250. I think it's also a psychology thing - his program. A lot of people don't know much about digital marketing and would like to succeed. The $125 is the bait but they ultimately end up signing up for more than they bargained for. How much does it cost to get clickbank and everything else? I estimate that you'll probably end up spending $100 or even more just for signing up in his programs.
I havent tried the domain names though because as with my previous post, I didnt even bother with the trial since I read that you have to call to cancel your subscription which was a bit of a hassle for me.
I'm not ready to take the bait although if I came to a point where I was ready, I would definitely not try those types of tactics and I would sign up under someone that doesnt get thousands of sign ups weekly but can deliver with webinars, guidance and support to build a solid downline without asking you to sign up here and there and pay for those services, too.
Thanks for sharing! I was just about to ask you about it:-)

| | | 4. lamar91 (18) | 4 months ago | Well i have been with GDI before,for 2 years i have tried to to advertise it spend over $500 on advertising,no results,no sign up and you will get billed every month.
If you really think you would be able to place your affiliate link on sites of people the same interest then you will make money .
| |
| |
|
|
rg0205 (1710) | 4 months ago | What about your sponsor? Did you get help from him/her?
I think there is a way to succeed but it's for more advanced marketers. Not for newbies and people who arent familiar with PPCs, Adsense, etc.
| |
|
|
| lamar91 (18) | 4 months ago | i did not get any help from him,if you really want make some money using ad sense .visit "site sell" they do everything for you all you need to do is to include your ad sense publisher id . you do not need to pay for traffic,after you paid your membership,a really good site that will expose you to 10000 customers daily

rg0205 (1710) | 4 months ago | Wow, thanks lamar. You're a doll:-)

rg0205 (1710) | 4 months ago | I'm sorry to hear about your experience.
As I said in an earlier reply, I dont think that GDI is for everyone and is one of the reasons why I havent signed up for it. GDI is for the more intermediate internet marketer and you have to know about adsense, ad campaigns and all those marketing tactics which include SEOs. That is not for the average internet user.
I think GDI is only good for those who are knowledgeable about digital marketing (mass marketing with technology). Your success also depends on your sponsor and unfortunately, a lot of sponsors out that are terrible who dont know much about internet marketing to begin with. They just jump on the bandwagon telling people how they'll help and train them when they really don't know how to.
Thanks for sharing your story. I havent decided on signing up. If and when I become more familiar with ad campaigns then probably but I won't be doing it now:-)
Thanks for your insight.

| | | 7. safrabay (46) | 4 months ago | Hi! Finally I found the forum I have been looking for several months now. Many times I have been tempted to give away my credit card number or my paypal account in the step 4 of Tissa's sign-up page! Each time I'm on the box, I always got stuck up coz an inner voice seem to whisper to me if doing so is right. I admit I was only looking at the $125 but honestly, I have a little knowledge of how his program would work. Thank you for coming up here guys!
| |
| |
|
|
rg0205 (1710) | 4 months ago | I went on mylot for similar reasons. I was looking for ways to earn extra and I was looking into another program and found info here.
Firstly, yes, you can get the $125USD but you need to earn 200-250USD before he pays it out to you. In addition to that, you will need to sign up for other networks and services like Clickbank, HD Publishing and other stuff which will cost you at least 100-200 USD including your GDI subscription.
Second, Tissa gets affiliate commissions when you sign up and that is the reason why he pays people $125USD to sign up under him.
If you're a beginner in online marketing, this is not for you. The reason being is that for Clickbank and like everything else, they say it's easy to sell but the question is where?
Third, to get the bonus of 100 USD for every 5 sign ups per week, you need to buy DVDs worth 30USD minimum and that doesnt include shipping.
You need to be familiar with Ad Campaigns, how to set up one and you need to be ready to spend on advertising. Yes, SPEND on advertising. You can only get so far with free advertising so it's another expenditure.
All in all, if you sign up under him, you can expect to fork out even up to 300USD (by my estimate) in the first month if you run a pay per click campaign on Google to have your site featured there.
This isn't anything for the average internet user. If you can manage to get sign up through family members, then, great but be ready to spend.

| | 8. patialvi (463) | 4 months ago | no doubt that GDI is not for everyone not only GDI but we can say that MLM is not for everyone. This system is for the people who are good in making people their partner and for those who has big dreams to follow. I was not proud being with GDI earlier but now i think i am proud to be with GDI. Actually this is my 2nd chance with GDI and happy to say that i got my first payment from it. Now in this team, my sponsor is taking care of my downline and i just promote it online and that is free of cost..We work as a team. We don't promote our personal links. For more information pls. feel free to visit my profile and the link on it...
