			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sent out an alert on this one.  <a title="Automatic Online Profits - Not Worth It!" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.automaticonlineprofits.com/members/1944" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">AutomaticOnlineProfits</span></a></p>
<p>On the surface it did seem like it had some good potential, sign up free, check it out and a notification in the back office to this effect:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Official Launch Reminder:</strong> When we reach the official live launch date you will be asked to become an active member for only $12. Once you choose to do that, we will immediately start marketing your Automatic Online Profits affiliate link to virtually millions of targeted prospects with our patent pending &#8216;Online Traffic Spinner&#8217; Software. Thats a cost of less than five cents per day for advertising on complete auto-pilot.  An incredible value considering that we even guarantee you customers for such small investment.</p></blockquote>
<p>Going a step further, which I should have done before sending out an alert,  I discovered this:</p>
<blockquote><p><a>How much does it cost to be an Automatic Online Profits Member?</a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>There is a recurring monthly fee of $39.99 to be a member as a basic member and a recurring monthly fee of $149.99 to be a smart choice member of the Automatic Online Profits Team. There are also optional fees if you purchase one of the Automatic Advertising Packages.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is not going to happen for most folks. Notta chance.  It is a slick marketing gimmick.  I do not like this at all.  The person who sent it to me did not know about this either.  So that is a double “notta” good.</p>

<p>Ok, no real damage done here as it is free to sign up.  They do say they will place paying members under you.  Still I have never seen any of these types of massive marketing systems work, at least not for me and not for most folks I know.</p>
<p>Sorry for wasting your time but I had to post this for obvious reasons.  I.E. What Not To Do On The Net!</p>
<p>One of the things I value is honesty and being credible. If I see something that does not add up, does not add value to what I am doing and that applies to anyone I may introduce something to.  If I believe something would not be beneficial to you, I would not suggest it.</p>
<p>I would not label it as a scam as I rarely do that. Some would label it as a scam, for sure. Certainly not a real honest way to present something.  Ah I guess this means always read the fine print.</p>
<p>Ok, the good news, I have created a new category. What Not To Do On The Net.  Well I already have a category called Not Recommended so it goes there also. How about Do Not Waste Your Time On This! Beware of the crap out there.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Gene</p>
