Is GDI Really worth it? Then why the Negativity?

When I integrated the GDI opportunity with Artistneed. I was already aware of what was being said about it. I have been to their forums and have actually spoken to a few actual GDI affiliates who are utilizing the income opportunity. The majority of them have claimed that they do get some negative feed back from some leads.  If you go online and Google anything about GDI you are sure to find some pages talking about how it is a scam and how they did not get the “income” they were promised. Well, there are a few things that may make this company look as if it’s a scam. One reason would be how GDI offers its product. The second would be the inexperienced individuals who signed up and quit. The third reason would be the number of actual affiliates and how they promote the GDI program.

GDI offers a unique package for the $10 price some may say that it is too expensive and would rather host elsewhere. And I agree, but what really peeked my interest is how you use the affiliate program. GDI offers you some really tacky replicated pages that simply tend to scream “scam” or “get rich quick”.  The templates and marketing materials are made to promote the GDI brand itself.
As for the individuals who sign up, the majority of them have mentioned that they were not able to make money or found it to be to difficult too sell. Thus they begin voicing their frustration by labeling it as a scam. Lets get this straight, if you came in believing that you will make an incredible amount of money within a few weeks then you are destined to fail. No matter what work you do it will always involve “actual work”. It will also involve “creativity” and “planning”.  Just like any other job. Multi-Level Marketing takes work! And with hard work you will gain the benefits from it.

Some affiliates are successful using GDI, but many of them tend to sign up many individuals as quickly as possible to achieve the bonuses with no consideration to even helping others. They have no concept in “Team Building” or providing resources and guides to help them start their online venture. Instead they try to sell you a bunch of products. Becoming a Team means working together and finding new ways to help make the team stronger.

Artistneed’s goal is to incorporate new ideas for creative individuals, like artists, to build a community to helping others with Global Domains International.  We focus on collaborating with new prospects who wish to join and will gladly work with them. GDI is worth it for its price and what they offer only if you know how to integrate it well within your online business. I do not see GDI as a scam or as a pyramid scheme. But I do see how it can be focusing to others. When I became a GDI member, I discovered that you don’t need to purchase many products to help you. Be sure to do your research before signing up to any program. You can also contact me with any questions about it.
