How many teenagers, unless they are getting money from rich parents, have the kind of job to supply that kind of income, not to mention the fact that they have school and extra-curricular activites to juggle around? I'm not saying it is impossible, but the odds are working against them and I am curious to know how they can afford to offer so much, when alot of "paid" hosts don't offer what they plan to offer. As I said, if they can do it and make it successful, I say "More power to them!" But at this point, I am skeptical.
Hey.. I'm 19.. I have access to investors and some cash that was left over from the old Datablocks..
I have been out of school for over 2 years now, and I dont plan on going back.. I have a very good job and several partnerships in other companies..
For the price of the servers and bandwitdh to support them all, its cheap for us... the servers came in at just under $23,000 USD.. the bandwidth is very cheap and it gets cheaper all the time! (less than $5000 / month)
I make enough monthly cash to support datablocks on my own if I had to.. that is if the new marketing plan dont work... which I dont think will happen since we have already tested it on some of our other sites.. and it works great!!
With our experience, funding and gained knowledge, Datablocks will be around to stay!
Also, Datablocks will be fully co-brandable.. If you want to open your own FWP but dont have the cash or resources, we will do it for you for a % of sales.. your site will look like your own..
I think you will all like the new Datablocks..
Thanks for all the praise and comments! its welcomed!
Take Care
