Global Domains International is an established home based business opportunity which attracts several thousand new affiliates each year. Today we look at a few important facts to take into consideration before deciding whether or not GDI is the business for you.

Working from home is as popular in 2012 as it has ever been, and Global Domains International remains at the forefront of that industry.

So here are the facts you should know before becoming a GDI affiliate. The first thing on everybody's lips, and rightly so, is the safety of GDI. GDI is a 100 percent safe and legal business. Approved by the Federal Trade Commission, Direct Selling Association and Better Internet Bureau, as far as home businesses go GDI is as established as they come. Featured as a Fortune 500 company, GDI is often mistook by folks unfamiliar with affiliate marketing for a pyramid scheme or online scam because, well, it looks too good to be true upon first glance. However, it's completely legal and safe.

The income you make as a GDI affiliate is genuine income and you are paid each month via Paypal.

Like many offline businesses such as Avon or Mary Kay, GDI rewards it's members for sharing it with others and helping it's company enjoy new growth. So how does this compensation plan work and what makes it so lucrative?

GDI reward members for introducing new people to the company, and the income you earn is residual. This means you don't just pick up a commission one time you get paid every single month. This single decision by GDI makes it more lucrative than any other home business of it's kind by far.

Imagine getting paid every single month for work you did just once.

There's more. You also pick up the exact same commission amount when any member of your GDI business grows their business, too. So find a couple of folks who are real serious about becoming their own boss like you and the rewards are literally unlimited. At $10 per month for effectively your own business, you can see why GDI is a popular choice.

You should also take a close look at your product package upon joining. GDI owns all .ws domain name extensions and upon becoming a member you receive your own .ws domain as well as web hosting tools meaning you can build your own personal website and use it for whatever you wish.

As GDI members, we used our product package to take our hobby and literally turn it into an income source while making money from GDI's compensation plan at the same time.

Becoming your own boss, as we have personally shown, is very simple with GDI. Yet sadly 80 per cent of affiliates fail to make any income with their business. Why? The simple common facts about GDI shown below show why so many people who join this company don't get anywhere...

1) Most GDI members receive no help, training or support from their upline at all.

2) Most new members have no idea how to promote their business online.

3) You must get creative with your GDI affilaite website. The standard one provided by GDI is not effective any more.

4) Most new affiliates make the big mistake of trying to tell their family members and friends about their new home business. All this does is kill your enthusiasm, as family and friends are not interested or usually increase self doubt as they say everything online is a scam.

You should now know the facts about Global Domains International and how the company works. In doing so, you should also have a clear idea of whether or not this is the business for you. As the world's top global team in the company we have seen many success stories but also many failures over the last five years. In order to become a successful affiliate you need to hit the ground running and capitalize on your early enthusiasm as well as surround yourself with sponsors who are proven to be long term.
