Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
This company is not to be trusted. Supposedly to earn money all that you need to do is place ads on job listing sites like craigslist, place job placement ads and when people contact you, you send them to a group interview process where they have the option to sign up under the person who referred them. Then that person is under you.

1st 7days is free. Then only $10/monthly for the website that is used to promote GDI web-hosting service and the scam begins again. They say you can make all of this money if you get 5 referrals and they EACH get 5 referrals. However they are supposed to be a web-hosting yet the only webpages the company seems to host are the sites that scam other people into their company's dead-end trap.

I actually believed that this was a legit company and sent out about 600 emails and recieved no sign-ups. (obviously some smart people) Or I probably got scammed out of the sign-ups too. Now I'm not the smartest person in the world but that seems like the long definition of a PYRAMID SCAM.

"Supposedly to earn money all that you need to do is place ads on job listing sites like craigslist...".????

GDI has an agreement with craigslist to not allow their affiliates post ads on CL because GDI has so many affiliates that if allowed to use craigslist to recruit, they would overwhelm the system... You must have not read the emails from GDI. Did you attend the weekly webinars? I'd bet you didn't even read the FAQ and Affiliate page.

"group inerview process?" What are you talking about? You may have not had a well enough informed upline, but more than likely, you are like most people who I have signed, and never called the numbers of your upline that GDI sent you.

"sent out about 600 emails and recieved no sign-ups." Did you check to see how many of those people read their emails... If you sent them with GDI's inviter, the tracking system tells you how many people opened their emails, how many people visited the site... bet you didn't even get familiar with your back office to know that. By the way 600 emails is nothing when it comes to email marketing. You probably will get 600 emails this month you won't open if you are like the average internet user. GDI pays what they say they will pay if you recruit new website owners. You are supposed to tell people to look out for the emails you send that's why it is in red letters above the inviter not to send emails to people you don't know. 97% percent of all people who try to work from home with LEGITIMATE affilliate programs never make more that they spend... the same is for Avon, Amway, ect... even over 90% of all brick and mortor companies fail in the first 5 years. Dust yourself off and learn from your mistakes. Next time study and work your butt off. Learn how to get your traffic up... Most websites have less than 1 percent conversion rates. I'll bet you didn't get 50 visitors to any of your sites... And FYI many GDI sites have nothing to do with the GDI product. That is what amatuers like you fail to miss... instead of just sending people to sales sites, how about capture pages that give your prospects something they can use. Was your site even indexed? how did you place in the search engines? Did you dominate ANY keywords? Did you research your competitors? How many hours did you "work" your home business a week. You sound like A woman I signed up when I first started, Our first call I took 4 hours to walk her through a sign up process that should taken a child 15 minutes to complete, and if she would have gotten through it, I was going to GIVE her thousands of dollars worth of software for free. She got "tired" and complained this is too "hard" so we ended the call and I downloaded and ran software she had already to give her the software the next day... I never heard from her again... Unlike you she can't say GDI is a scam because I explained in our phone call just how hard it would be to succed in this highly competitive and she litteraly groaned when I told her what she would have to do to make the kind of money she said she wanted to make... You mam are the 97% of "opportunity seekers" who go from opportunity to opportunity hoping to find the magic product that sells itself for you and finds prospective buyers... Good luck... GDI has been a VERY succesful business for over a decade (even before the affiliate program) and has paid plenty of people... If you want to talk to any just search the web and you will find an endless supply of Affiliates that would love to talk to you about GDI.

P.S. If somebody invited me to GDI and couldn't answer my questions, I'd look for another sponser... Some happy go lucky told me about GDI. Thats how I joined GDI, I then found a guy that turned me from a person that never uploaded ANYTHING to this person that got an invitation to be a youtube partner. I had to learn and sacrafice a whole lot to get here.

P.P.S. Your name here is very telling "Bettyboop". Leave business to Characters like Super Girl, Wonder Woman, and She-Ra... stick to dancing and singing and having fun. You owned a website for $10 dollars a month and complain you were scammed. What a waste of this sites time.
