Blinkweb Opinions

Here's a post size comment from a Brad Callen and Blinkweb supporter... it is anonymous and as it reads like a plug, one can't help feeling it comes from the designers... of course they have an opinion too but take it with a grain of salt.


"I am a web master and own several offline and online businesses..of course I build and host my own domain accounts...however, this post is not about me...even though I would like to slip in a few backlinks to some of my websites here but I'm making this post for other readers or people who happen to join or want to make comments on blinkweb, et al.

Brad and Matt Callen are well respected Internet Marketing professionals, I've not only been spying on them for some time on several of their products and launches but also am a subscriber on multiple accounts from each and both of them.. another way I study their tactics and methodologies.

I am a registered Blinkweb member, just recently joined and have been through their basic 5 day training, surfed the Blinkweb tools and seen their new recently posted offer to gaining a better understanding and more intense insider secrets to developing your own Blinkweb site and how to make it into a converting cash machine.

So far as I can see the Blinkweb concept is the only system online with not only a user stupid friendly concept, but it's moved the free line bar above any IM Marketing GURU on the web. Who in their right mind can complain about that?....This system really can take a newbie into a fast paced learning curve on what a career in the online world begins and what it really takes to get on with it,

As I am a webmaster and all that..I signed up to Blinkweb at no charge...I've decided to ditch my own web building tricks, methods, source coding and all my extras for this project to build my own Blinkweb following their step by step method..it's FREE people...!! Sign up, Take the training, just experiment, at least go through your blinkweb learning curve, Test, Test, Test and put together a business plan following their instructions..

A lot of people think you push buttons and click a few times with your mouse and magically money starts cranking into your Paypal account...if you're thought process has been programmed in that manner...you need to be de-programmed and go back to kindergarten using all the knowledge you've gained and this time take a serious look at all the elements and changes going on the web...get yourself up to date

My suggestion goes deeper than that, I've been a company president and CEO for 26 years...in brick and mortar type business..I built my first website to reduce my printing costs of brochures, junk type direct mail and drop out of the high cash outlay I was paying monthly for my yellow pages, add some credibility to my different brick and mortar companies...and finally to pave the way for hundreds of fellow business owners to see the future for these issues ..that was my first adjustment to integrate with the web other than setting up an email..that was back in the 90's..I just tweaked my budget, replaced some operating concepts and started my learning curve..

Believe me...if you are the type of personality that does not have the self motivation, some kind of ability with patience to learn and plot out a dot to dot step by step time management business plan.you may not be smarter than a 5th grader..and you should just keep doing whatever you do now....

I have a company policy of never bashing competition or others ..it's more important to me to translate to my prospects the positives of why they should listen, trust and do business with me..

Competitively in my industries you pay more to get me as your company of choice,but that's the way I branded myself and the reputation that follows me that took time to build..I stand behind everything I do, my employees do or commitments we make and we do it in writing.

Blinkweb is a new launch, it's still evolving and growing...give the system a serious try.make your best efforts, find your deficiencies..grow personally and get business smart...Internet Marketing is a lifestyle, you're a business owner...grow up...think and act like it."


What do you think... Blinkweb? Good, Bad or indifferent. Has anybody had success with this product yet?

Blinkweb Web Hosting

I have had a number of emails and a few comments on another site alerting me to problems some folks have had with the web hosting being flogged in conjunction with the Blinkweb program.

"I forgot to mention that follow through sales pitch they have with the $15 hosting; what is really devious/clever about it is that there is no opportunity to take your custom page to your own choice of (cheaper) hosting.
I noticed that they have a section of the site for paid use web tools ( If I read it right) that will soon be available. Funny if they just started selling their existing SEO software repackaged through the site at a discount."


Quite frankly it looks as if the site is really just a front for the Callen's to pitch their web hosting agenda which of course makes sense. They didn't create the program with out working out an angle to make a buck from it. My biggest criticism has been that they didn't work out an affiliate program for this and there is little incentive for other marketers to promote the product. Reviews are still mixed on how useful Blinkweb will be to bloggers. At present the Callen's stand to gain more from this (using other people to fill their site with content) than the actual bloggers doing the work. There is no PR as of yet to leach link juice from.

You might want to pay attention to this comment I received...

"I have had absolutely the worst experience with BlinkWeb. And the support? What a joke. After paying for a domain transfer and finding out that the process does not work, this is the response I got when I requested a refund....
*****************************
I am closing out this ticket because the issue is completely resolved on our end. There is nothing more we can do or tell you.
Thank you for contacting Blinkweb support.

Ticket Details
===================
Ticket ID: SQE-934351
Department: Technical Questions
Priority: High
Status: Open


As you can see my refund request was totally ignored."


Thanks go out to MoneyMingle for that update.

This should be enough to make you wary about using their web hosting although more information on why they wouldn't issue a refund would be helpful.

If anyone else has an experience to share - good or bad - please leave a comment.

Blinkweb Update

Here is the latest update released today from Matt Callen about the latest changes made to Blinkweb. The only thing you need to be warned about is the Hostng offered by the Callens. Yes you may get a domain for free but the hostng won't be and it is more expensive than getting your own hosting elsewhere like HostGator.

Hi, Today I'm writing to let you know about some important developments with our new service that have been making MAJOR strides in the internet marketing community.

http://blog.blinkweb.com

The blog post at the link above will explain more, but I wanted to let you know about 3 major additions that we've added to our Blinkweb service.

You can now:

1. Get your own domain name for Free from us... yup, you read that correctly. We'll buy it for you! And on top of that, we'll even host your website for you.

I'm talking about a REAL, personal domain name for your website. This is the first time of my online career that I've ever seen anyone give away a free domain name. We'll actually buy it FOR YOU.... at least for the time being.

You can get it here:

http://business.blinkweb.com

2. You can get a free subdomain from Blinkweb.

3. After creating your site with Blinkweb's drag and drop page builder, you can download your entire websites easily as a convenient .zip file, in which you can then upload to your current webhost. AND, even better... You can download as many times as you wish!

You can read more details at the blog and then get signed up to grab your Free domain name from us.

Our goal is to make it practically impossible for someone (including you) to come up with an excuse that they cannot make cash on the internet. If you haven't done so yet, I HIGHLY recommend you head over to Blinkweb and sign up for your free account, and create your own website today.

All the best,
Matt Callen

P.S. Blinkweb continues to be a community-driven site where we take feature requests/comments very seriously. This is why we've added some major updates in just the past week of going live.
