Social Kickstart is a product from Mark Thompson that provides users with a complete platform from which you can manage all of your Facebook pages and marketing.
What does the product offer?
According to the sales page, Social Kickstart gives you everything that you need to rapidly grow your traffic, leads and social presence. What this means is an application that allows you to manage your accounts in various ways, all from a single source. According to Mark Thompson you can use Social Kickstart to manage all of your fan pages from one place including the ability to make posts and updates through the app, both in real time and scheduled. As well as just posting to Facebook however you can also use Social Kickstart to post to social media sites LinkedIn and Twitter too.
Social Kickstart also comes with the ability to syndicate viral content for your fan page by allowing you to look at what is currently being shared from various sources (Social Kickstart can sync with Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube as well). Finally Social Kickstart monitors your ad campaigns with a view to identifying which have performed the best and as a result, allows you to tweak and edit them in one place.
This includes use of a drag and drop style advertisement creator that Mark Thompson says will allow Social Kickstart to create eye popping ad images, regardless of your technical skill.
How does the product work?
In a lot of respects Social Kickstart simply takes existing things that you can do through Facebook and puts it all in one place. As a tool however there are a number of different ways that you can utilise Social Kickstart however ultimately this will depend in what you are selling and the approach that you are using.
What is the initial investment?
Social Kickstart is sold on a monthly, yearly or lifetime of access. The lifetime package is a one time payment of $197 whilst the monthly and yearly and subscription based at a cost of $17 and $97 respectively. All options come with a 30 day money back guarantee however as Social Kickstart is sold through JVZoo you will have to deal with the vendor directly.
What is the rate of return?
There isn’t really any claimed rate of return for Social Kickstart and due the nature of the product this is a difficult thing to gauge. Personally I would see it as a tool rather than a direct money making platform.
Conclusion
There is one thing more than any other that is worth keeping in mind when looking at Social Kickstart and that is that everything that the software does can also be done for free. What Mark Thompson has done with Social Kickstart is collated features that most users will want access to and put them all in one place. This is undoubtedly a solid idea and there are a lot of people who will get use out of Social Kickstart however the cost is definitely premium.
This means that if you want Social Kickstart to represent any kind of value then you really need to have a very large number of Facebook fan pages, otherwise I’m not entirely sure where the value lies.
great review thanks. I cannot see how this offers a great advantage unless you have multiple facebook pages. It appears to be a tool that people would use to build pages just to get some benefit from buying it.
