I want to put my tree on Geni but don't want to enter everything manually.  Can I at least upload a basic gedcom to start with? Thanks.

  There is no direct method to upload a GEDCOM on Geni at the present time.  However, if you have your tree on FamilySearch, MyHeritage, Ancestry, or WikiTree.  You could copy over generations fairly quickly using SmartCopy.  https://www.geni.com/projects/SmartCopy/18783  If you don't have it on one of those sites, you could upload to MyHeritage via GEDCOM and then copy over.  Hopefully after adding a few generations, you'll be able to merge into the existing world tree.  https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree/learn-more

  Do note though that adding profiles with SmartCopy requires a Pro membership with Geni (due to the API), which you can try for 14 days for free.  http://help.geni.com/entries/431690-How-To-Try-Geni-Pro-for-Free
