hey everybody am pretty much the newest guy here. i've joined these thing like 3 hours ago. and finally got tired of trying to make the site. which requires too much. wat i wanna know is how these works and how do u get pple to join it. coz most of my friends ain't interested in making websites. so where else can i get potential customers? coz if these countinues am calling in the next couple of hours. to cancel. so basically wat i need is somebody to tell me that they have gotten rich or money out of these thing. 1st of all its gonna be chargin me 10 $ just for havin it. and then even if i get a customer its still gonna be charging me 3 $ to send me the check. so assuming i get 25 bucks that means i got 12 bucks. So could somebody please tell me these is worth my time.i don't mind making the 12 bucks don't get me wrong i truly welcome extra money. but does it work. i don't trust the other testimonials posted up on there site. i want somebody to tell me from here. aiiiight get back with me.
Greetings Kevin!
You've joined three hours ago and are already thinking about giving up? Please forgive me for being harsh, but I don't think you'll make it in this GDI business nor in ANY internet business, for that matter. Making a website is fairly easy with the supplied editor. Admittedly it's not the best website maker/editor there is, but it functions perfectly well for setting up and publishing your first effort.
Most of your friends, you say, aren't interested in making websites. That's not a problem at all - it just means that they're not your best target group. Which again is not a problem, because your target group is (literally!) the whole world.
I am amused at your way of counting the relationship between cost and profit (grin)! Basically you put down your monthly 10 dollars subscription as pure COST, while in fact you are enjoying (= consuming) a fairly valuable product which, IN ADDITION, offers you the option to make a buck. You should see this latter option as a long-term issue, and I reckon it's exactly THERE that you haven't figured things out sufficiently.
Long term does not mean three HOURS, but much more like three YEARS or so. By then you should be able to show a pleasing residual profit if... you invest energy and work! Give it a year, mate. Hang on, and let's talk again when that year is past. Right now you are sort of labelling yourself a failure before you even tried. Let go of that self-fulfilling prophecy, and make a slow but sure succes out of your GDI business!
Be well!
