Hi Joe,
essentially your paying for a domain name , so you can "Brand" Your Own People Search Engine with a name of your choosing. Mine Peopleeasyfind.com for example. You will also be able to modify it and add adsense etc.
You will have different options depending on what option your up line chose,Namely GDI, Hostgator or Lunarpages.
Now step 2 is also required for referral fees to be paid, because your email address must be the same as your Step 2 domain name. For example my email is peopleeasyfind.com
When you complete step 2 your display rate will be 65% for your affiliate id´s with Clickbank, HD Publishing, CJ & (My Life., not sure if they've started accepting affiliates again) Which means that your affiliate ID`s are shown 65% of the time
people use your search engine.
I'm with Gdi and force my referrals to take it therefore building my down line and consequently earning monthly $$.Friday,
GDI will pay you a residual income of $1 every month for every person on your team down 5 levels. So for example if you sign up 5 people and they inturn create 5 new sign ups each that's 25 and then they in turn create 5, that's 125 ect. It keeps building down five levels and you get paid (I’ll leave you to do the maths). They also pay out weekly bonus of $100 for every 5 people you signup. Good Luck
