Company: Kalatu & Empowered Network
Founders: David Wood, Chris Record & Jonathan Cronstedt
Website: www.kalatublog.com
Welcome to my Kalatu review!
There are only a few main reasons for doing research on this company.
1. You want to see if the company is legit.
2. You want to see if it is worth your time and money.
You are in luck because that those are the key reasons why I write these reviews.
I want to make sure that everyone is given an equal opportunity to experience a quality online business opportunity.
Since I am a 3rd party reviewer, I call it like I see it.
If the company is shady, I say so.
If the company can make you money or is legit, then I have no problem recommending the company.
Before the recommendation though, I provide background information on the company and provide a list of products or services.
Since the company is affiliated with Empower Network, LLC, you have probably seen advertisements on social media or from a friend/family member.
At any rate, all of the information you need to make an educated decision, will be included.

A Kalatu & Empower Network Overview
The easiest way to understand exactly what Kalatu is, think of it kind of like WordPress with an MLM scheme attached to it which promotes Empower Network.
Although there are several customized features on their platform, you can get equal or better service for free using other platforms.
With Kalatu, you have to pay $25 per month.
It is probably a good idea to stay away from anything associated with Empower Network simply because of their project failures in the past.
Kalatu is not the first launch for these guys and all of the other blog platforms ended in disaster.
I’ll show you what I’m talking about.
When the company first launched, it was known as Empower Network and they were supposed to revolutionize the blogging industry by promising a “viral platform.”
Within 3 years of its launch, you couldn’t even find a blog hosted by empower network if you tried.
This means that the company obviously failed to deliver. In 2013, Empower Network launched ENv2 or Blog Beast.
This was supposed to be another “viral platform” game changer but it flopped as well.
In fact, I asked some of my tech & blogger friends and only 1 out of 15 has ever heard of them.
The only reason he heard of the company is because he is also a network marketer.
This means that nobody really uses it.
This is what I don’t get, Empower Network has launched Kalatu in hopes that this project succeeds where the others have failed.
There is one simple problem though, very little has actually changed in the business model.
All of their blogging platform projects seem to be slightly variations of the last.
We will see how it play out but the future doesn’t look very bright for Kalatu.

OK, that is a lot to digest so I will let you sit on it for a minute and mention the products again in another section.
I will say that most of these products are from Empower Network which is what you will be promoting if you become an affiliate with Kalatu, so keep this in mind.

I understand that it is 12 pages long but you need to understand all of the requirements if you are even considering this company.
Things I Like About Kalatu
The first thing I really like about the platform is the easy social media integration.
This is one of the best features of the platform because interacting with social media like YouTube videos can be daunting for new bloggers.
Kalatu understands this and makes it a one touch process.
This is good news for new bloggers but isn’t really needed if you are a seasoned blogger.
The second thing that makes the program stand out is the fact that all of the features seem to focus on ways to make money online or what bloggers need in order to write about what they are passionate about.
The only thing that seems to bother me is that if you are an affiliate then no matter what your blog is about you have to find a way to promote Kalatu.
If you blog about sports, promote Kalatu or if you blog about politics, promote Kalatu…
Seems like a bit of a stretch but what do I know.
It may all come out in the wash.
Things I Don’t Like About Kalatu
One of the things I dislike the most is the lack of customization.
If you compare the amount of customization between Kalatu and WordPress, there is no contest.
By using WordPress, which is free, you have more options.
This does not bode well for Kalatu at all.
There was one alarming part of the agreement that bothered me about Kalatu.
They have the authority to shut down your website and block your access at anytime and for any reason they see fit.
This does not happen with most service providers do not do this.
All of the training programs seem to be run of the mill.
I understand that have 7 figure earners is important from a marketing standpoint but if the information is generic then it isn’t really worth it.
Especially considering some of the packages are $3500.
Look, to some people, this price tag might be worth it but come on…
You can get better or similar training for FREE from YouTube or other training programs.
I’m not that impressed to be honest because most training programs within MLMs are just the same and offer nothing new.
The Final Verdict
In my opinion, there is nothing new or “viral” about this company.
You see, Empower Network has tried to revolutionize the blogging realm a few times before and they crash and burn.
I feel that anything affiliated with Empower Network should be avoided.
Here is the deal though, if the money is not a big deal to you, then you can try it out if you like to believe in hype rather than reality.
For example, if you are well off in the financial department and the $20 a month, or more, then go for it.
Try it out for a few months and see if it is really worth it.
If you are someone that wants to invest in a sure thing, then go elsewhere.
You are probably asking where to go from here. Check this review out.
It is a completely legit company that has one of the best training programs available.
It is FREE to try out and it is affordable if you want more services.
I hope this review helped you out on your journey to finding the right MLM for you.
