GNLD has recently introduced to South Africa, the excellent facility available in America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand…your own GNLD website.
It’s very easy to set up…no knowledge of website structure whatsoever is required. As long as you can visit websites on your computer, that’s all the knowledge you need.
what’s the investment?
At the date of writing, it’s only a miserly R700 per year.
For that small investment in your business you get a whole lot…
- your own website, with its unique address
- includes a shopping basket and secure payment portal so customers can select products and pay for them securely online. (This alone makes it worth it, as the shopping-trolley software often costs a lot, and in addition there’s usually a service fee deducted from each sale by the company providing the secure payment portal)
- online application form so people can join your team…wherever they are in South Africa…whenever it’s convenient for them. Your team can grow while you’re sleeping at night, or away on holiday!
- excellent information direct from GNLD about all their products available in South Africa
- retail prices conveniently shown next to every product
here’s how to get your website…
Step 1
If you haven’t already arranged access to the Distributor-only section of GNLD’s website, you’ll need to do that first.
Go to www.gnld.co.za in your browser, and click on the ‘Login to Distributor Only’ button at the top right of GNLD’s front page, like this…
Step 2
Think of four numerals for your Pin, and have them ready.
Call GNLD in Johannesburg and ask to be put through to someone who can register your Pin for access to the Distributor-only section of the GNLD website.
From a land-line the call is toll-free… 0800600790
Step 3
After you have registered your Pin, you’re able to sign in to the Distributor-only section like this…
Step 4
Think of a name for your GNLD business…and then think of a couple of alternatives, in case the name you want has already been registered.
Try to think of a name that will relate to your GNLD business…maybe the aspect you want to focus on. For example, in the right hand column of this page you can see Nonjabulo Nxumalo in the Distributor section. Her business name is myhealthyliving. Great name!
Payment can be made with a credit card or EFT, so have those details ready, as well.
Now you’re all set.
Click on the ‘click here to sign up’ link, and follow the easy steps.

The photo below is a snapshot of our GNLD website, and your site will have a similar format.
I’ve put some notes on it, so you can see the parts you can customise to make your website unique.
We’re really delighted with ours… and for the small investment, it’s a real bargain!
Thanks! David & Heide
I’m a distributor in Nigeria. Just created a blog site through you… Am yet to customise it, need few tips on how to do that…
Regards!
Hi Favour.
Congratulations on your new blog.
Now the fun begins… and the learning curve, too
Personally, I think the intro video on the homepage of wordpress.com rushes through much too fast.
There is a lot of how-to-do-it info available though, so first of all have a cruise around this page and click the links provided: http://en.wordpress.com/features/
My latest post about a free website for selling products may be of interest to you, too: http://healthybusiness.co.za/blog/1733/free-website-to-sell-gnld-products-online/
Hi there
I just joined GNLD and I’d love to have this wesite but don’t know anything about computers and also need personalised GNLD business cards how can I get then
Hi Sisanda.
Thanks for visiting.
And congratulations for starting your own GNLD business
South Africa is the only African country where the GNLD website is available to Distributors.
If you live in RSA, please ask your Sponsor to go with you to a GNLD Service Centre. There are computers there Distributors can use, and I’m sure your Sponsor will be happy to show you how to use one. The GNLD website is actually very easy to set up, and you don’t need to be a computer expert.
GNLD doesn’t offer business cards. Again, chat with your Sponsor about printing shops in your area.
I’ll write about business cards in the next post, so please visit us again, Sisanda.
Best wishes for your success,
David & Heide.
How can you help a distributor in Nigeria to acquire this type of website. I’m GNLD distributor in Nigeria.
Hi Lanre.Thanks for visiting.
In Africa, the GNLD websites are only available in South Africa…so far.
You can get online though, with a free WordPress website.
I’ve written about that, here.
Is it possible to pay monthly and could this be done from my Blackberry alone, or do I need a computer?
Hi Joan.
Thanks for visiting, and for your interesting question.
To test whether it works or not, I surfed our own GNLD website using my BB 9800 Torch. And I also tried it with my wife’s Android.
Not only was I able to view pages and products, but was also able to log on and make adjustments to the homepage text and the about us page. (These are the two areas of text you write yourself. The product and business info is automatically populated by GNLD).
The Enrollment Form also opened, which means you can send your website address to distant prospects and they can join your team online, using their Berries or Android handsets, if they don’t have a computer.
You may like to test it works on your BlackBerry by going to our GNLD website and experimenting with the various links, Joan.
As far as I know, GNLD wants complete payment at the start, and doesn’t offer monthly instalments. Easy enough to check, though…GNLD in Joburg handle the South African websites, and they can be contacted toll-free from a landline on 0800-600-790.
Guess you could use a budget facility on your credit card, but the interest rate is painful, isn’t it?
Wishing you success developing your GNLD business,
David.
hi again David & Heide, I trust you are both well
I’d like to ask, is there an annual fee for the website?
Thanks for the question, Sakwasa…brought my attention to an error. Yes there is an annual fee, and I’ve updated the post to show the current annual fee of R700.
That’s a brilliant idea. Introduce this to kenya as well coz I want to be the first to own a website in Kenya.
Hi Wilberforce.
Thanks for visiting, and for your enthusiasm.
I’m guessing GNLD would make websites available in other African countries if enough distributors asked for them. Hint! Hint!
In the meantime, you can get online with a free WordPress website. I’ve written a post about it here: http://healthybusiness.co.za/blog/818/free-website/
Have fun! Best wishes, David.
My wife and I got our site. It’s a magnificent tool.
Well done, Llewellyn. Wish you every success.
