Explaindio Review - Do not buy

This review does not contain an affiliate link. For if you are still willing to buy after you read this, I failed and do not deserve to be paid.

Explaindio 3 Review

I will sort my concerns into technical and ... I nearly want to say "ethical". This review will be relatively short because I have wasted a lot of time that I need to prepare a video for my new product, "DMN Brain Booster".

So ... you watch the sales video and it looks all fabulous. Professional looking videos with great music, animation, and whatnot.

Then you hear the price: Only USD 69 for the professional and USD 59 for the personal version. Annually that is.

Nice, sure thing - why not?

Technical problems

I knew the 2.0 version and assumed they have improved since then. They have improved. Their presentation.

The software is in version 3 (3.9? I forgot after I uninstalled..) as crashy and laggy as in Version 2.

Other than that, I have not used it long enough to discover any hidden technical problems. The user interface is nasty and not intuitive at all.

If everything else was fine, I would not mind the horrible translation of the example texts. I guess if you like someone, you are more willing to overlook errors.

The bad stuff

Listen, I make my living from selling my coaching service and my products. There is nothing wrong with making money IF you offer buyers value. There is nothing wrong with getting paid for your effort of reviewing a product. IF your review is trustworthy.

Did you ever wonder why so many affiliate marketers do not make it? Part of the reason is ethics. It's not a sustainable business model to rip people off, disappoint them or give them false advice.

Upselling is a good thing if you offer buyers additional value. It is a very bad thing if you want them to pay for what you tricked them into believing they get with the first purchase.

The real price of Explaindio 3

Do you know what you really get for your bucks? Go to Fiverr, have a look at the nasty 5 buck explainer videos - this is what you get. 
I have no screenshot for you, I uninstalled before I started writing this ... Every second button in the software takes you to the website for an upsell. 
But what about the cool presentations you saw on the sales page? Yes, what about them? You won't be able to create them with your "milk the cow" version. 
Only a few highly overused audio. Hardly any templates. 3d? I saw 5 "examples" in the folder but could not look at them for the program crashed when I tried to import them. 
Have a look at the sales funnel and please keep an eye out for the parts that are subscriptions and have to be paid monthly. 
explaindio 3 review
Again. There is NOTHING wrong with upselling, cross-selling, or any form of selling. 
If I trust you, I will stay with you and be happy to buy again from you. If I don't, you will not ever sell to me again. That includes everyone who has attested for this product too. 

The testimonials

I believe it is in bad taste to publish names of people on the internet so that I won't. But if you have a JVZOO account and would look at the top sellers of this product, you would find that that are the endorsements. 
Where are the happy clients? 

Conclusion

If you want a cheapo looking explainer video with characters 400,000 others are using, do yourself a favor and save yourself some time. Go to Fiverr and get it done for you for 5 Bucks. 
If you are willing to pay 1k per year, I am sure there are better solutions out there.

You know? Maybe I would pay 1k per year for high quality videos. Just don't be shady about the price of your product. 

Unless you invest a lot of time (and the mentioned amounts of $), your Explaindio video will only appeal to a limited amount of people. "Affiliates", "MLM". Businesspeople? Not. 
The term "affiliate marketing" has been tainted and spoiled by all the black sheep out there. What comes to mind when you think of "affiliate marketing"? Low quality accepted? Not very honest? Spam? Scam? 
It's sad really if you think about it. 

Up your $$$ game!
