If you are new to the SpiderWeb Marketing System or just interested in how you make money with the system – I am going to try to give a quick explanation of the program and what is involved. All of these programs have complete video tutorials in the backoffice of the spiderweb marketing system but I know some people get impatient and want to know what it’s all about without having to sit through all the videos.
To start off with the system is absolutely free to use. You can use all of the tutorial videos and ideas to start your own online marketing business without spending a dime. You can use it this way or you can take it to the next level and spend some money. If you choose to follow the system and invest some time and money (or no money and just time) then you CAN make some serious money from it.
The spiderweb marketing system automatically puts anyone that you refer to it in your downline for each program that you sign up for. You don’t need to advertise for the programs involved, you just refer people to your custom spiderweb link and everything is done for you. The system even has a custom autoresponder to send emails to your downline for you. All you need to do is initially set up the system (video tutorials walk you through this) then refer people to the program (video tutorials for this too).
If you choose not to sign up for a specific program, no big deal, the system still works exactly the same except anyone that you refer to your affiliate page will get signed up through your sponsor for whatever programs you didn’t sign on with. This is completely normal and a lot of people start off this way until they realize the power of the spiderweb marketing system. Sooner or later you will end up signing up for certain programs because you will see people signing up and you will be missing out on that particular income stream.
Here is a breakdown of some of the various programs involved and the cost associatedwith each:
Global Domains International (GDI)
cost: $10/month
GDI offers domain hosting and for ten bucks a month you get your own custom domain name (yourdomain.com) and hosting. With the spiderweb marketing system they take this a step further and use your custom domain to be your affiliate page in the spiderweb marketing system. In other words, you are not using a long affiliate name like http://www.thespiderwebsystem.com/cre8tivemedia, instead you are using something like http://www.bryantpublishing.net and you don’t have to worry about someone erasing the affiliate extension (cre8tivemedia in this case) off of the url and just trying to sign up through http://www.thespiderwebsystem.com/
If you wish to use the domain that you choose with GDI for another project, that’s fine, you can still use your affiliate link for the spiderweb marketing system separately. You just won’t be able to mask your affiliate name.
That’s not all, GDI offers $1/month to anyone you refer and $1/month for anyone they refer down 5 levels deep. One dollar may not sound like much but when you get your spiderweb downline referring there downline it can add up pretty quick. GDI offers bonuses also at $100 per 5 members signed up in a 1 week period. Not only are you getting the residual income from these 5 people but you also get an extra hundred bucks. Get 10 people to sign up and get $200 there is no limit – every 5 members in a 1 week period = an extra $100.
I started with Global Domains about a year before I got involved with the spiderweb marketing system. It is a great little business by itself.
cost: free (user) / $3.95 month (VIP user) /$49.99 month (Merchant)
Selfbank is the beginning of M-Commerce. Basically you are getting rid of your wallet and using your mobile phone as your credit/debit card instead of plastic.
This is brand new to the industry and they are the first ones to be out there. Check out the partners they have already signed on at their site (Home Depot, Southwest Airlines, The Gap and many more).
You absolutely need to at least sign up for a free account with SelfBank Mobile. I rate this one as the most important one to sign up with because in the next two years it will be everywhere. Remember back when you wrote checks for everything? Then one day you found out how easy it was to just use a debit card. This is the next step, say goodbye to your wallet and link all your accounts (bank accounts, credit cards, store cards) to your phone! You can also send and receive money from other members with a few clicks on your phone. They plan on launching in late 2009.
You make money off of other users that sign up for a free account. You make more money when you upgrade but it isn’t necessary. Check out the different options for the accounts when you sign up. There is too much detail to go into about what you can earn and I don’t want to drag this on too long. Basically you get $100 in advance rewards for signing up and everyone you sign up for a free account gets $100 in advance rewards just for signing up. The VIP and Merchant accounts earn even more.
cost: Free (Member) / $9.99 (Customer) /
$19.99 (Manager) / $29.99 (Executive)
Direct Matches is a social networking site. They call themselves the Myspace for business. They have 4 levels of membership and you can start out with a free one to get started. You won’t be able to earn any money until you upgrade to at least a manager. Direct Matches features a powerline system – with DM you can only sign up 2 people on your first level and then the next person you refer will go underneath the first people you signed on and then so on. Your “powerline” will either flow to your right or your left depending on the way you set it up in your backoffice. The spillover that you receive from your sponsor depends on how they set things up in their backoffice.
If you sign up through me, you will see people in your downline pretty soon 
You can’t earn any money in Direct Matches until you have personally sponsored 1 person in each leg of your downline. You also must be at least a manager to get a referral bonus for upgraded members. Check out the “commission plan” in your Direct Matches backoffice. It was a little confusing to me to try to understand it, so if you have any questions feel free to send me an email.
Commission Junction
cost: Free
There is no cost associated with this unless you want to spend money on advertising with Yahoo. You should absolutely sign up with Commission Junction to make sure that you get any commissions from your downline. Even if you are not interested in advertising with Yahoo, don’t skip out on the income stream. This is not in the initial stages in the spiderweb marketing system, you get involved in this when they start showing you how to get traffic to your site.
Business Tax Advantage
cost: $29.97 month
This program teaches you how to manage your taxes and capitalize on the money you may spend in your business. Basically, they teach you how you can immediately recoup every penny that you may drop into the spiderweb marketing system or any business that you may want to start. Whether you are starting a brick and mortar business or an online adventure. You get $10 per month for every referral and $5 per month for anyone they refer.
Black Widow Partnership Program
cost: $497 (during beta stage) + $97/month – After beta stage $997 + $97/month
This is for the serious marketer. If you are just casually looking to start an online business then this may not be for you. On the other hand, if you have the money to put into your business then you’re not going to get any better than this. You get the full power of the spiderweb team in your corner helping you grow your business. Plus you get to share in on the 6% equity pool – you get a portion of the money that the spiderweb system is pulling in.
This is like a college course for you but you can use it at your leisure. You learn everything from the top people in the industry plus support from other black widow partners in the spiderzone forum. Support is available through a ticket system and soon we will have phone support (not available for free members).
There is so much more to the system but if you have read this far then you are probably interested in getting started so go ahead and login and enjoy. If you have questions about anything, please feel free to ask via email.
Happy Web Spinning,
Matt Bryant
