A year ago, I would have said that trying to make a living by working online is a waste of time. Like many, I've set my hopes on false promises like envelope stuffing, paid-to-read-email, paid-to-survey sites, and even a paid-to-take-quizzes site. If you do happen to find an e-mail or survey site which actually pays cash instead of prizes or points, it would literally take decades to put any significant amount of money in the bank. I was reasonably happy with the quiz site, but even though I earned some spending money every now and then, it wasn't enough to pay any bills, and the site went out of business several months ago. You can imagine my amazement and pleasure when, after searching for years, I finally found an online gig which really works: Global Domains International, or GDI.

GDI is a California-based company that began in the 1990s, so it's been around long enough to stabilize. Affiliates are paid on or before the 15th of every month, by wire, check, or Paypal (your choice). I use Paypal, because it's the most convenient. Every month, I get to transfer solid, residual income into my bank account, in addition to substantial cash bonuses I earn. At this point, the income is sufficient to pay my college tuition without my having to hold a regular nine-to-five job. Being a full-time student and mother, finding this opportunity was like a life-line thrown to a drowning woman.

Here's how it works: unlike the vast majority of online MLM scams which offer no real product, GDI offers a premium web-hosting service which anyone can use. Whether you are building your website for the first time and have no idea what you're doing, or whether you are tech-savvy enough to use FTP or write your own code, you will be happy. Your website includes a domain name, and does NOT include the pop-ups, flashing/blinking ads, or other unwanted material that comes with most free hosting services. In addition, each customer has the option of creating up to ten separate e-mail accounts. Businesses and charities love these high-quality services, and customers of all varieties tend to be pleased with such a professional, inexpensive product.

The beauty of the program is that you never have to do any selling yourself. All you have to do is e-mail people (with whom you've had previous contact) and invite them to watch a brief, 7-minute movie, although there are other available marketing techniques. You can also show a slightly longer DVD to your friends
