KickoffLabs

There are countless websites and many who wish to bring their own specific brand into the World Wide Web and stand out from the crowd. In the post wordpress.com era, no one needs to be a PHP guru in order to make a good blog or website and make money off of it. This is not just because of wordpress, it is because of services such as those provided by twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit and of course Google that we have a range of articles, ideas and services readily accessible.

KickoffLabs is another such service that gives non techies the ability to drive readers and customers to their websites and keep them there. It is very much a marketing tool/web service ready to help out with your new venture online. Whether you are creating a travel blog for friends and family or setting up an online business, you can easily choose and create an attractive landing page while you are setting yourself up. Initially you can choose from four packages; the free package allows 50 customer signups and includes customer demographics, email notifications, auto responder and viral sharing while it keeps the KickoffLabs branding and domain.

However, if and when you upgrade your account to Plus ($10) or Premium ($20) per month, it removes the branding and gives you access to unlimited customer signups, custom domain and a specific no. of landing pages.

I find KickoffLabs to provide a useful service for beginners. It was extremely easy to setup a landing page and choose from a limited no. of designs available. Those who enjoy the ease and usefulness of the analytics, can continue with a paid subscription as an upgrade to your free account will give you access to more customers and insight into their behaviour. This is the KickoffLabs’ promise to customers.
