I sent out an alert on this one.  AutomaticOnlineProfits

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:

Official Launch Reminder: 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 ‘Online Traffic Spinner’ 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.

Going a step further, which I should have done before sending out an alert,  I discovered this:

How much does it cost to be an Automatic Online Profits Member?

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.

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.

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.

Sorry for wasting your time but I had to post this for obvious reasons.  I.E. What Not To Do On The Net!

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.

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.

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.

Cheers,

Gene

There is a change in Ad-Flasher terms and this does not look good, certainly no longer attractive for most people to participate just to watch those ads and hope to get paid. This is a drastic change in terms and questions as to whether they will pay the pending payments. Not something I would suggest to anyone at this point.  In fact this is now something I would say to avoid.

They do say “Withdrawals are currently being paid via Alertpay.”  Minimum withdrawal still shows as being $30.00
