Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
PAS | prosperity automated systems | Profit Masters | 1-step system | 1-up Automated (defunct) | Coastal Call Center | all are good ideas in principle. Where they fall down is in leading people to believe that internet marketing only takes a few minutes a day. Successful internet marketers usually work long hours producing reams of content, refining ad campaigns, posting to forums, reading, attending trainings, supporting downline, and so on.
The money can be had but don’t let anybody mislead you to think there is no price to be paid in learning the enormous SKILL of being an effective marketer. Ad budgets can substitute for skill, to a point. If you are really flush, hire an agency to do it for you.
The successful marketers are generally the more creative ones. The best marketing teachers may be the ones down in the trenches actually doing the marketing you want to be doing. When you start making the big dollars you will have the luxury of purchasing your marketing. Otherwise beware.
Agreed, many are being thrown to the wolves. I spoke with one man recently who came in as a Veretekk lead in my system. He was in his 2nd month of PAS, buying ad packs and trying all the free ad things he could find time for. No money left to spend on marketing. He came in all the way (very proud of his $4k decision). Had he experienced results? Not a nibble. He is currently one of the casualities. A teacher with the summer ending, he is soon back to working 9-5, and his internet marketing will go on the back burner. At the rate he is going will he make his investment back? Perhaps, if the company lasts. Will he be a good marketing mentor for those he sponsors? doubtful at present. Will he get the effortless wealth he was led to expect? Very unlikely.
Some seasoned marketers stopped promoting PAS months ago. Why? They thought it had peaked. Is it viable as a system to market other opportunities? probably. Are some promoters lying about their incoems from it? Undoubtedly. Is it worth $100 plus monthly over 3 years? Maybe. Traffic is driven to the system by the hype of $3k commissions. Almost everybody who buys it does so for the up-front cash potential. Thats why the fever pitch of excitement. Is it getting harder to find buyers? Almost definitely.
Can buyers be found by misleading people to believe that promoting and creating wealth with automated systems is easy?
YES!
Is this how sales are being generated? Yeah, in many cases.
