Quickfire Profits Honest Review: A Month Later

Quickfire Profits - My Final Opinion
Quickfire Profits is a membership site for Internet Marketers that outlines techniques for making money online. Previously, I have written two other hubs, here and here, on this site, and this will be my final say on the subject.
I cancelled my membership in the last week, since I didn't want another charge on my credit card. I'm not about to lambast the site, or say that it is a scam, because I don't think it is. There's a lot of useful information there if you want to look for it. There were many ideas that worked on the site for me, and others that didn't. I'll discuss them below.
The Good and the Bad Points
Quickfire Profits has its good and bad point, like many programs of this type.
The Good:
- The videos: One of the best ways of learning is visually, and I liked the video presentations. Not only were they easy to follow, they were informative as well.
- They don't rely on jargon. As you get further and further into any field jargon begins to replace everyday words. It can be hard for anyone trying to learn because they have to translate the words. Thankfully, the Benwells kept that jargon to a minimum.
- The site was updated regularly. There was one round of information updating, in the way of extra videos, and one free offer in the time I was active on the site.
The Bad:
- The videos were not backed up with written information. In fact, written information was kept to a minimum. I would have liked to have seen more written information, since that is one of the best ways to learn. Visual, followed by written, followed by practical. Rinse, wash repeat. I felt the lack on this site.
- There was no board or any type of interaction between members. That is not to say there wasn't an email addy so that you could contact the Benwells with any questions that you might have, but the site really needs a board. I'm going to expand on this below.
What Separates a Great Membership Site from an Okay One?
I thought that Quickfire Profits was an okay membership site, but would never be a great one without some changes. The main change required was a way for members to interact not only with the Benwells, but with each other.
Have you ever wondered why places like Facebook and MySpace are so addictive? Active boards such as the Warrior Forum are The Place To Be if you are an Internet marketer. The reason is that they give value beyond the effort required to go there. A great membership site has a board, and an active one at that, for the same reason. It's not just about the creators of the site, but the members as well. If you give members the right environment, they'll expand on your ideas and do half the work for you. An active, welcoming board is worth its weight in gold. It helps make a membership site addictive because you need to go back for more and more. It helps retain members beyond when they've sucked up all the videos and written information on your site.
I think that's why I thought Quickfire Profits was okay but not great. The information was passed on in a passive manner. The site still has the potential to be more than what it is, if the creators are willing to put in the effort.
My Final Recommendation
I cancelled my membership to the site, but didn't ask for a refund. I thought that they had a unique perspective on how to do things such as article marketing, and gave me some ideas on how to do some aspects of marketing that I hadn't previously thought of. That alone was worth the price of admission.
My recommendation is that if you are curious, sign up and take a look at what they have to offer, but when you've got what you need, cancel your membership. Quickfire Profits is not a scam, and it is an okay membership site with potential to be more.
There you have it, my last review on Quickfire Profits.

Not a problem. :-)
Interesting - I found some excellent and free info on Vic's bloggerunleashed site - too early to say whether it works for me but it makes a lot of theoretical sense - link is on my hubpage re Internet Marketing
You can link that here if you want as well. I'm not wholly convinced that this site will last the test of time. It doesn't have the right elements. I write this review up in January after I cancelled my membership. I'm really wondering if the Benwell brothers have the stamina to go the distance and turn this site around into something better. Since I've seen them happily launching other products just recently I guess the answer is no.
Thank you for your review. It saved me some money. Great sales page though. Maybe I will look into it again down the road.
Not a problem at all, Misty. Gotta say, they do have a great sales page. I just wasn't that impressed with the rest of the program, but there you go!
Very good review, and it comes off very honest, you say the membership could be better, it appears to me that you are being very generous. The money page makes it sound like the average Joe Newbie is going to hit pay dirt with this. I think that desperate people will be looking to save there lives with this. You do give a descent review here, however I think you could be more to the point in the review, if your going to give them, (ei can money be made with this or not) I know desperate people looking for a way to make money now, and the sales page seems to say this will do that.
In all truth I was trying to be as even handed as I could. Some people might find the information worthwhile. I wasn't one of them. It's easy to get sucked in by sales hype, and most of these sales pages are the infomercials of the Internet. At least with Clickbank you can get a refund, so if you join up and find it disappointing or not for you, get the refund ASAP.
Get the refund, they have moved onto better things and half the stuff isn't there any more.
All I got access to was 6 videos that expalined everything I already knew.
Careful
