Disclaimer: This is my opinion and my opinion only. I am not making factual claims about the Auto Click Profits software. I express my opinion based on my review of the marketing material that is publicly available at the Auto Click Profits website and on years of experience using application software to automate a variety of tasks.
Here we go! Another automatic money in the bank scheme!!!
Some joker…sent an email with this headline How a scam works (URGENT). I have to admit…as a study in good copywriting…it’s a real teaser!
But here’s the sinker…I was taken in by the fact that the email came from a guy hailing as IM Trusted Reviews…don’t ask me who this is…I have no idea. I don’t even know how I got on the mailing list…but between the clever headline and the word trusted it was compelling. That’s what good copy does…it compels you. Even though I was suspicious, curiosity got the best of me and I opened the email.
Of course…then I just had to check out the video. Always hopeful about the possibility of discovering some bit of IM magic.
If You Offer Me A Case Study, Give Me a Damn Case Study!
The first criticism I have is that the email suggested that there was a Newbie Success Case Study to be had. I am always interested in case studies. Crap! The resulting PDF download was simply a copy of the video script.
And neither the video or the PDF is a true case study. In my mind a case study tells you the what, the who, the how! When you’ve got the real goods you are not afraid to show the detail. This is just some guy (Daniel Owens) waffling on about how all the other quick rich schemers are lying to us about how easy it is to get traffic and to make money in affiliate marketing.
But he’s not! Lying that is. He says and I quote:
I want to make sure right away that you understand this method and the automated software that I use is truly 100% unique. And I can guarantee that you have never seen anything like this before. And that’s exactly why I manage to make more money as an affiliate than any one else out there. And the results are fast. Way faster than any other method you’ve ever seen before. This has absolutely nothing to do with the stuff the gurus have been selling you in the last several years. They are either no longer effective or too time consuming. Stuff like search engines, adwords, pay per click, article directories, banner advertising, pay per view, facebook, email marketing, safelists, your own products, content writing, building websites, SEO, press releases, social media, video sites.
Then he says that in the next 70 seconds he’s going to show you exactly what he is up to but he never does. He shows you all his clickbank accounts but not once does he reveal anything about where the free traffic comes from or how his software actually works. He tells you a big long admittedly very convincing story. At the end of the video he says it will take only 5 minutes to install his software. (Where do you install it? On your computer? On a website? He never says.) Then you wait a few days and the money you deserve will just start rollin’ in!
The Whole Time I Am Watching His Sales Spiel I’m Thinking about the TV Show: Lie To Me
While I’m watching this guy…I’m thinking of that obnoxiously lovable character Dr Lightman…show me the light..in Lie To Me. Seriously, I wish I knew how to read the facial signs of people like Dr Lightman! There is just something about this guy in the Auto Click Profits video: his style…the words. I’m trying to remember what I’ve read in body language books. I’m wracking my brain: what are the signs of a liar?
What I do know is that my intuition tells me this guy is full of s**t! And since I’m reading Malcom Gladwell’s book Blink for the second time…I am immediately reminded about our ability to thin slice. Just trust your feeling! Yes…I feel certain this guy is full of it! Just like it says in the Malcolm’s book…I can’t rationalize it. I can’t say why I think the guy’s story is chock-a-block full of cock and bull. It’s just my life experience screaming out to me: He’s a liar!
He says he’s not a guru. But he knows how to get free traffic from a completely new source. And he’s going to show me! He goes on to show how much money he’s made in his 7 Clickbank accounts using his new automatic traffic getting software. In just three recent months this guy…as a newbie(?)1…has made over $1,000,000 (one million dollars)?
It is all about some software he allegedly had developed as an unsuccessful newbie in a moment of crisis. He had just lost his job, maxed out his credit cards and had nothing to lose. He just had to figure it all out and then he found a way to automate it.
Push A Button. Make A Mint! Complete Autopilot. Unbelievable!
But pay attention to his use of this critical phrase: complete autopilot. So commonly used in internet marketing schemes. The idea is you get his software; you set it up just as he instructs; and you start earning heaps of affiliate commissions…and it is all on auto pilot!
These guys always use auto pilot to imply some push-button solution. But this guy says if you can press a few keys…you can do it! Install it. Push a button. And wham! You’re gonna make millions. But hey! I have a couple of websites that I could say are on auto pilot. I spent a lot of time researching a niche. Finding relevant affiliate offers. Setting up a website. Writing good copy. Getting traffic. No PPC!2 Tweaking my copy. Getting more traffic. And that’s with a mere PR0!3 I can say my website is now on auto pilot because I haven’t touched it for six months and it’s earning money. See how that works? Complete autopilot!
Okay…to be fair…he does say you might have to spend 4 minutes and 18 seconds a day to run this business…not 100% autopilot. You have to do just a wee bit of work.
Now here is the real kicker. This millionaire-making software4 is just $39!
Can you honestly believe that such a piece of software is going to sell for a mere $39? (Not if you know anything about the cost of software development!)
AND! This $39 offer is only going to be up for a few days. It’s coming down any day now.5
And wait! There’s more! If you’re smart and you know the ropes, you can get the software for a mere $27! And there are only 3 copies left at that discounted price. Hurry. Offer ends soon!
You know what they say: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is!
Auto Click Profits?6 I think it’s a bit of a scam.
But don’t take my word for it. I haven’t actually bought the product. I’m just thin slicing!
- IM Trusted Review calls him a newbie. ↩
- I do not use PPC…pay per click…to get traffic. ↩
- Page Rank Zero! ↩
- Yes! That is an affiliate link but I really do not for one minute recommend this software. I’m testing the science of reverse psychology. Are you going to be sucked in? ↩
- According to my friend at IM Trusted Reviews. ↩
- Yes! That’s another affiliate link but I really really do not recommend this product. But no harm in trying. Some of you will be dumb enough to search this product out and buy it. So you might as well use my link! Seriously I hope you don’t buy it. ↩
