So you wanna build a web site? Before you do read this!!!
I was just thinking of why would I buy from someone else when I could buy from myself...I was watching the movie American Gangster last night and it kind of made me think...if you have watched it...you know the part that I am talking about...I am not talking about selling drugs.
I am talking about the scene at the beginning when he(Frank Lucas) and Bumpy Johnson were walking down the street and they went into the store that was selling TV's and other electronics and Bumpy said something to him like...you see this Sony TV...I bet you can get a better deal on this TV if you cut out the middleman like this retailer and went directly to Sony...do you see where I am going with this?
Ok, here is where I am going...why buy from someone else when you can cut out one or two0 middlemen...
For instance...lets just say that you wanted to build a website for your own personal reasons, whether you want to post pictures of your family, build a site that promotes your business, or sell some products, you know where you could make a few dollars 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...making money while you sleep...it can't get any better than that, right?
So what do you do, well you go to a site like godaddy.com why because they seem to have the biggest advertising budget out there...they always advertise during the biggest events like the Superbowl and the commercials are some of the best, what is sweet about that is that you can benefit from their commercials if you think about it...they are advertising because they are making money, they are spending millions of dollars because they can...I have fallen victim to their trap too...I got (2) url's with them http://www.gioperation.com/ and http://www.milliondollargrowth.com/ and I paid like $10 for each of them...you can go check both of them out if you want.
Back to where I was going, I can get off track a little sometimes, but I always seem to get back to where I am...so here goes... now I was doing research and I came across a company called GDI or Global Domains International and they also do exactly what godaddy.com does...they sell domain names as well and they sell something else that I will get to in a minute...but not only do they domain names, they also have a domain forwarding, hosting and all the other things you will need to get your web site up and running...here are the (2) that I got from them http://www.gioperation.ws/ and http://www.websitesales.ws/ ...why did I buy from them, well 2 reasons!
The 1st reason I did is because they have exclusive rights to the up and coming .ws extension and if you are like me and you go to http://www.websitesales.com/ you will find out that extension is gone as you will find that most of the good .com's are not available anymore...they have been scooped up, heck some of you that are reading this will find that your name isn't even available anymore in .com, but you will find that in .ws it is wide open...this company made a deal with the country of Western Samoa .ws to get the rights to sell their country extension because they had no need for it...pretty smart right...where do you think that .tv, .us, .in, .cc, .bz, .la and some of the other 2 letter extensions...guess what they all stand for some country code out there that had no need for it...but they are all available...what I like about .ws is the fact that it is marketed as .website! ...that is pretty ingenious on the GDI's part...which means that it is going to grow fast, at least in my opinion seeing the fact that over 80 million people already have .com's and most of the major companies have purchased all the extensions to their brand nmae like say ebay.com.
The 2nd reason I choose to do business with GDI is that...I like to make money, who doesn't? ...they have set the company up like a network marketing company like say an amway or primerica...because they realized that more goods and services are sold everyday by network marketers than the company could ever do in traditional advertising, it is also less expensive which mean that they will have better prices and can offer more options...so what they do is create banners and affiliates codes for people to put on their sites that others can click on that when a sales is made the referrer gets $1...can you beat that, refer 10 people and you have your web site and domain for free forever...pretty smart right, you betcha! you can add a banner on your page like the one that I have at the top of my page or the one that I have on the right side of my page or even click these links http://www.freedom.ws/gioperation, http://www.website.ws/gioperation, http://www.my.ws/gioperation, http://www.money.ws/gioperation, and http://www.movie.ws/gioperation, click any one of them will take you GDI's page that they have set up to do all the talking for you...and all for $10 a month...you can't beat that can you...and put in your information to see the animated video that even says your name which is really, really cool! You are going to get a couple follow up emails, from the company but you can opt out of them at any time...I did this back in November but I actually never opted out...I was checking to see if GDI was some type of scam, but I couldn't find anything like that...actually everyone that I talked to said they were happy with the service and when I first looked at, you could only get a .ws extension, now you can get any extension that you want as long as it is available...and that is from the beginning of 2008, that is what sold me!
The 3rd reason, was how easy it was and the value that I get for my $10...I get a domain name of my choice(if available), they have a web site builder(free), they have domain and email forwarding(free), domain hosting(free), domain parking service(free) and advanced users nameservers(free)...OK maybe these items are not free but they are included in my $10 a month fee...so in my opinion and my mind they are free because I would pay for them anywhere else...some sites offer free hosting, free web site builders, free blogs, free everything, but it does not come without a cost...why because they are throwing their advertising all over it and if you are like me then you only want your stuff displayed...that is like buying a car and they put their www on your back window and they are not paying you to drive around with that advertising...somebody is making the money, why not you and me?
The 4th and final reason is that if you click any of those links or banners...you get to work with me..and if you have ever been involved in any network marketing business or worked for someone else...you know how hard it can be...it is not some get rich quick scam, they bible says you should stay away from those, because you will get broke even quicker...I like the concept of get rich slow if you are looking for some extra income...then I will help you, if you are looking just for a nice web site that your friends and family can stay updated on how you guys are doing...I will help you do that, if you are like me...I like all of them...I keep my MYSPACE updated with family pics and such...you can go check them out...now I will tell you that you must send me a friend request so that I can check you out...I have pictures of my little girl, my nieces and nephews that I don't want getting into the wrong hands unless you are offering them modeling contracts cause they are that cute!
When I watch American Gangster...like I said earlier, that is what I saw when I heard Bumpy talking to Frank Lucas in the TV store...he was saying get your own and cut out the middle man...you can make so much more money by buying wholesale...not retail!!! So I want you think about it...cause it makes perfect sense to me, everyone wants to make a difference and everyone wants to save a few pennies and if they can make a few pennies legally, why not?
Go for it...and as of right now you can try it out for FREE for 7 days, before you are ever charged one dime...see if any of the other domain name resellers are going to give you a week to see if you like the name you choose or if you decide that you want to change your www... so go to www.my.ws/gioperation and check it out...YOU will not be disappointed and if you are then that is OK too... or shoot me an email @ ryan@gioperation.ws or call me (Ryan) @ 219-678-7926.
