Instant Passive Profits Review

The Instant Passive Profits software is among the best selling products at Clickbank right now. I wanted to find out why and share it with in my Instant Passive Profits review.

As usual there is a short Q&A version here for those that don’t want to spent time reading my full detailed review.

Q: Is the Instant Passive Profits software a scam?
A: No, it’s not

Q: What kind of software is it?
A: It’s a  url harvester to be used with CPV campaigns at directCPV. In addition to the software there is some training on how to use it and find keywords. There is a also good knowledge there on list building. It’s worth mentioning that if you use the members area link to directCPV the software author will get commissions… 60% revshare of every view generated!

if you do not know what a url harvester is or what CPV campaigns are then this is software is most likely not for you. You would be better off learning some more basics before diving into CPV where you need to spend money buying ads!

Q: How good is the harvester?
A: It’s very good. Fast and reliable. But personally I like using scrapebox for harvesting purposes.

Q; Is it worth the $47 and would you recommend it to a friend.
A: I think it can be worth the $47 but I would probably not recommend this product to a friend since someone doing CPV and similar stuff will most likely be using other, better tools for the task.

Q: Anything missing from this program?
A: Yes, there is very little information on the tracking part and split testing. When spending money on CPV ads it is super important to be constantly split testing and it’s also very important to track views, clicks and conversions. If you don’t watch these details you will always be losing money!

But now lets get to the more detailed version of my Instant Passive Profits Review…

Detailed Instant Passive Profits Review

Let’s kick off by talking a bit about the video on the salespage. A lot of lies here I can tell you! It starts out funny.. but to tell you the truth, I found it extremely boring. It’s also very long, 28 minutes in total. The only reason I watched for so long is that he kept promising to show the software live. He talked about “total transparency” since he hates all those sites that don’t tell what their software does. Well guess what.. he does exactly that.. he does not show you or tell you what the software does. He shows you the interface, with everything blurred out so you don’t see any boxes and then he presses the play button. Then he says “now lets just wait for 24 hours and see if my empty clickbank account has changed” – and voila.. the day after it shows revenues of more than two thousand dollars. Which is extremely strange since he did not show you the part where he has to buy a ton of ads to get the traffic. He also does not mention how much he spent on ads to earn those two grands. I’m also pretty sure they were using already fine tuned campaigns for “this show”! So don’t buy into any of the crap you are being told in the video on the salespage.

OMG – Are You Kidding Me With All This Upsell Crap?!

It’s pretty normal when you buy a product from these money making marketers that they try to offer you at least one more product since you already have your wallet out. But this is getting ridiculous. After my purchase I was offered personal training and more for only $297  (upsell page 1). I clicked NO and then I was offered the same product for a $100 less (upsell page 2). I clicked NO and then Iwas offered the same product for a 5 day trial for $1 (upsell page 3). I clicked NO and got a new offer for some automated website software costing $47 (upsell page 4). I clicked NO and get a new offer to buy an advanced version of their software for only $37 (upsell page 5). I clicked NO and got a $10 discount for the advanced version (upsell page 6). Clicking NO got me an offer to try the advanced version for a week for $1 (upsell page 7). I clicked NO and got a new offer, this time for some ready made campaigns.. and now I’m just getting mad as this upsell page 8 and I’m trying to get to the members area. I clicked No only to an offer to get those campaigns for $50 less (upsell page 9). Of course I clicked NO to get the 5 day trial for $1 (upsell page 10). Yet again I click NO and finally I got to the members page.

As soon as I’m there I’m told about this super nice FREE special offer. So I click to check it out.  Basically it was an offer that if I clicked “their special link” and purchased a domain and hosting service for a montly fee I would get 1 website designed for free. It’s clever as the hosting company is actually paying them at least $100 for every signup.. so they are actually getting paid to give you 1 site :)

What Is This Software Anyway

As I get into the members area I start by watching a very nice intro video. A good video telling how and where to start. Then I go to the next video. Here I got a little disappointed as the quality of the video was very poor and the audio was awful. The following videos were of the same poor quality.

As I watch it is explained to me that the software I just bought is a url harvester. It basically works like this:
I put in a keyword and the harvester gives me the top ranking pages for that keyword from Google, Bing and Yahoo. That’s it.  That is all this software does… harvesting urls.

I guess you next question is, how do I make money with only url’s. Well, you signup at directCPV and buy ads from them. CPV stands for Cost Per View, meaning that you pay for every view of your ad. When you are setting up your ads at directCPV you are asked where you would like to advertise… this is where you use your url’s. You know they are targeted to the keyword you used when harvesting so you should be getting targeted traffic to your ads. Lets not forget that directCPV has an affiliate program and the link provided in the members area is an affiliate link. This means that the owner of Instant Passive Profits will be getting 60% revshare of every view created by you! Now that is one clever way to make money! (for them.. not you)

Anything Other Than The Harvester In the Package

Inside you will find some training to help you out with your first CPV campaigns. Personally I was not impressed with the training as it was vague and not detailed and there were a lot of important bits missing.

There is also an introduction to list building. Just about enough to give you an idea on how to start building your lists. He recommends Aweber (I agree, I use it myself) – but there is also a viral list building software included in the members area. That’s just about it. I was not that impressed anything in here, but then again.. it’s not a very expensive product, only $47

Conclusion | 3 stars

Getting CPV ads to work for you takes time, precision, patience and money. If you don’t know what you are doing then you will burn through hundreds of even thousands of dollars very quickly! If you are not used to buying ads then I would suggest that you start learning how to create and maintain successful ad campaigns. This is not the program that does that. If you have used ads successfully before then you should have no problem making money with this program.

  1. Thanks for the warning, so I guess this really isn’t for me… :)

  2. Hi Alan,

    You are welcome :)

    Remember that many if not most of these programs come with a 60 days “no questions asked” refund option. So trying some of them out does not include a lot of risk.

    Cheers,

  3. I really liked the concept of harvesters.
    Making money from URL’s is a very innovative idea. It is also fast and simple concept. I would love to be a part of this.

  4. Hey I used the software for some days, and it proves to be much useful.
    The best feature is the training feature which makes it easier for the newbies. I’m satisfied!!!

  5. it was really nice blog. Today the money making marketers are increasing with a very faster speed. Getting money from URL’s is a very good concept.

  6. Well, it’s shocking it’s only a harvester and needed an immediate attention to shout out at the earliest.

  7. You guys are right about the harvester. It’s a cool concept and makes things alot easier.

    I would just have liked the owners of this product to be upfront about it, telling people what you are actually buying.

    Cheers,
    Tryggvi

  8. is it really possible to make money this way? This is actually pretty interested, it sounds like adsense except you buy the ads. are the ads expensive? Either way, i like the harvester idea.

  9. The description is very vague. I do not understand what the software does. This could have been put in everyday language so that all readers can understand. The software could stand to be marketed by a marketing expert. The advertisement scares me and makes me wonder if this is a scam.

  10. Hi Staci

    To answer your first question; yes, it’s possible to make money this way. It works in the same fashion as leveraging PPC ads (pay-per-click) you bid on ads to get traffic to you site and a certain percentage will buy what you are selling. You just need to find the perfect ratio of cost and conversion to make sure that you are not spending more than you are making. Done correctly you should be earning at least a dollar for every 70 cents you spend advertising.

    You also ask if the ads are expensive. The PPV ads work in similar fashion as PPC does. You simply bid what you are willing to pay. You have to calculate what you can afford and simply take it from there.

  11. Hi Miekeba

    I was pretty vague in purpose in my description of the product. Those that know how harvesters work and how to use them shouldn’t need more details. Those that don’t…well, it’s my opinion that they should not really be looking into getting Instant Passive Profits. Leveraging ads, using harvesters and other automation tools is for those that have had some experience and success with online marketing.

    It’s no wonder you (and others) wonder if this is a scam or not. The product itself is not a scam, but the methods used to sell the product are questionable at best. They don’t tell you what you are buying and they make a real effort in making you think you are getting much more and something totally different that you actually are. Is it legal.. I guess so… but is it ethical and morally correct… I’ll let you be the judge :)

  12. the features are very good and every thing is explained in detail. the concept is interesting. good job on the review!

  13. Thanks for posting a good review of this software.
    This is not for people just starting out and people who really need money. You would need a good amt. of money to get started with cpv campaigns :(

    I watched his whole video and got excited until I read your review :P

    I have an idea for a product that is better and bigger than the creator of this software. I just don’t know how to program it and get it created with no cash lol.

    His harvester is the hottest selling CB product right now.
