What's the Connection?

The connection between Pre-Paid Legal Services and BlastOff is pretty obvious --  money!

As with all start-ups, "seed money" is required to launch.  Friends, banks, investors, venture capital groups are just a few of the most common sources of seed money.  Typically, the source of seed money is granted all sorts of perks including equity, management oversight, preferred shares, etc., all of which is important if the company's strategy includes plans to go public (IPO).  This is very common.

How Rodgers and crew met up with PPL and secured the money is unclear.  But, it's important to note that PPL is listed on NYSE( NYSE:PPD) and is a pretty solid 35-year old company.  Their ticker quote is listed on my BlastOff home page - click here.

So, if anyone is taking on risk, it is the shareholders of PPL.  Not you or me.

Who knows what else was in the deal, but one thing PPL negotiated for its members is pre-launch exclusivity to BlastOff.  They also ensured PPL members will receive commissions down 20 levels as opposed to 10 levels for the general public.  So, PPL members potentially can generate significantly more commissions from people who join through their BlastOff sites (like mine :-).

Here's the official press release.    Here's PPL's 2009 Q3 Memberships     Here's Reuter's Overview

To be fair, there are plenty of detractors who've deemed BlastOff as an out and out fraud, scam, pyramid, ponzi scheme, etc.  You can read about it here.    And here.   And here's a site that sees it the same as I do....


NOTE:  Here's my take.  I invested $99 plus $25 a month for legal services and identity protection.  If the entire BlastOff thing goes "belly-up" I've not really lost anything but time... and, this website!   The biggest loser would be PPL.  

So, think about it... if your situation resembles mine, then, BlastOff is a "No-Brainer!"
