Getting Started
Who’s in my Blastoff Communications network?
by Duane on Nov.05, 2009, under Getting Started
So, you invited your friends to join you in Blastoff, but you don’t know who or if anyone signed up, right? I can help with that.
Admittedly, Blastoff Communications doesn’t make it easy for you to see who’s in your network. It would make things much easier if we got email confirmations of new members.
Also, you can only see the 1st level of your network — the people that joined directly under you. If there are any Blasters under them, you can only see the number of people in that level, but not any names or emails.
This makes it difficult for a team leader to motivate his or her network if he can only see the 1st level, but for now, that’s what we’ve got, so I’ll show you how to use it.
- First, of course, you want to log into your Blastoff account.
- From here, hover your mouse over the Manage My Network button and
- Click My Network.
I actually prefer to right-click that button and open in a new tab or window because Blastoff doesn’t make it easy to get back to your homepage from this screen.
On the My Network page, you can see the number of people in each level of your network. If you click on the [+] button for your first Blastoff network level, you will also see the names and emails of everyone in this level. If you have more than 25, you will need to page through them with the links at the bottom.
Hint: it would be wise to copy your network’s contact information and save it in your gmail contact list or any contact list. This way, you can email them with any important information or updates.
This will help you keep track of how fast your network is growing as well as keep your 1st level motivated to keep on keeping on. If you want to succeed with Blastoff, this is a priority to you.
How do I make money with Blastoff Network?
by Duane on Nov.04, 2009, under Getting Started
So, you want to make money with Blastoff?
- You must build a network of people under yourself.
You can do this many different ways. First, I would suggest talking to friends and family. Tell them of the benefits of Blastoff and that it helps you if they join. This isn’t for everyone, but if someone is interested, you’ll help them a lot.This is the best way to market your Blastoff network as it keeps the interaction personal, and everyone feels more comfortable.
Other ways to grow your network would be to put up flyers at your local stores or let people know what you’re doing online through Twitter, Facebook or various other tools. Those that are interested will investigate. No need to push anyone.
- People within that network use their Blastoff portal to make purchases.
Not much you can do here. If people don’t want to buy, they won’t buy, and it’s not your job to sell them. Just let the companies sell their own products or not.What you want to do is just encourage your network that if they’re going to make a purchase anyway, do it from their portal. It will save them a ton of money, and help you out too.
How do I get my own Blastoff URL?

So, you just joined Blastoff, and now you want to get your friends to join too.
How do I sign up my friends without giving their email?
- Just give them your new, custom URL from Blastoff.
Ok, What is it?
- Let me show you!
I see this question come up a lot with new Blasters. It’s one of those things that’s simple once you know how, but confusing until when you’re confused.
Blastoff refers to your unique part of the Blastoff URL as the sitename. Although you may not remember, everyone picks their sitename when setting up a new Blastoff account. If you haven’t done this yet, you should read the join Blastoff page to see if it’s a fit for you.
So, here’s how to get your sitename and unique signup URL after you’ve already joined.
- Log into your Blastoff account here: http://my.blastoffnetwork.com/login
- You will see four columns. The first has your picture (if it’s published), the second has links to make purchases, and the third has your account links. In this third column, click on Account Settings
- On this page, you will see a form to update your account settings. Look at the setting called Sitename. This is what you need.
- Your custom URL is going to be http://my.blastoffnetwork.com/sitename
- Just replace the sitename in that link with your own custom Sitename you saw in your Blastoff Network account settings.
Another tip: If you login to your Blastoff Network page and then logout, you should be automatically redirected to your own custom URL. Here, you can see and copy your custom URL from the address bar in your browser.
If this confuses you, I instead recommend following the steps above, and then you’ll be ready to tell everyone about the money they can save with Blastoff Network!
