If you’re here because you are doing your research, then good for you.

First let me say a few things- I’m a real person. I live in Florida and like to lay at the pool drinking beer and watch cartoons on the weekends. Secondly, I don’t care what you do. There are dozens if not a hundred of websites that will tell you how great this blast off network is and that’s because they want to sell you on it so they can make money. I don’t use the service so I can’t sell you crap.  Even the sites talking you away from thinking its a scam, end up posting their personal link to the site so they can make money off you.  I found a blog about this here- http://blast-off-scam.com/anatomy-of-a-blastoff-scam-scam/

So here we go- the Facts about the Blastoff Network.
The Blast off network is site that let’s you customize your homepage so you can access everything from one place. Facebook, movies, news, games. Etc. Let me stop here. This is not the future nor special. There are plenty of sites and programs that let you do this if you genuinely want a place to organize your online life.

On this homepage you will see advertisements. This is where it gets interesting for two reasons:
1. Someone is making money off you. You see those ads on my webpage to the right of the screen? I’m trying (poorly) to make money off you too. I get paid about a nickel for every 60 people that visit my site. But what if you were a big company and I told you that people were to stay at one site all day and see your advertisements? You (as a big company) would pay a lot of money, right? And this is step one for the blastoffnetwork. People who legitimately use the site will use it a lot and you can be 100 percent guaranteed  that they will see your advertisements. So again, it’s a great way for a company to try and sell you junk, which brings me to…
2. Because many Americans are complete zombie shopaholics, by using their site (with the ads, the “preferential treatment” and the discounts offered) there is a good chance you will buy something. Again, someone is making money off you…but it’s not just the company getting your money from the purchase, someone else is getting money from the specific link you clicked on to get to that product. (this is very detailed and really messed up (i.e. a sleezy way to do business), but i’m not getting into it)

You still with me?
The final part to this is simple. Get other people to sign up. By getting other people to sign up you make money in two ways. The first is like a thank you payment. Blastoffnetwork.com is saying thanks for giving them someone to advertise to. The second way you make money is when that person buys something, you get a cut (pyramid scheme). The goal for many people will be to sign up as many people as they can so they can make piles of cash.

Listen people, I wouldn’t call it a scam, but it’s not an honorable way to do business. Its all about pyramids, advertising, spam and buying.

I have better things to do…but if you want to read more about this..try to cut through the bull sh*t here:
