The Internet Prospect Acceleration System (or iPAS, for short) is an internet based business system created by Chris Campbell and Chris Jones. The iPAS marketing system is an unusual business model, not generally seen in the world of internet marketing.
Usually, when you purchase an online business opportunity, what you receive with your purchase is a guide for how to run your own business. Depending on what business you are purchasing and from whom, you may receive a variety of things with this business opportunity purchase. Sometimes you’ll get DVD training materials, sometimes personal business coaching services, sometimes 24/7 support, sometimes a website – the list of what you may get goes on and on.
But ultimately, regardless of what you are provided with, the responsibility of creating a successful, money making business lies directly on you, regardless of what tools, resources, or information you receive. The iPAS business system is a little different.
With iPas, instead of receiving the tools necessary to build your own business, you buy into a business co-op run by Chris Campbell and Chris Jones. This means that the business is owned by the workers. In short, if you choose to join iPAS, you are buying a share of a business, rather than your own business.
In exchange for you joining the iPAS marketing system, you will receive your own website, your own marketing team, and your own sales staff. Your business will be run according to the iPAS business model, and in his video, Chris Campbell makes an excellent argument for why this is a great idea. He says that his company has the best people working in each area that is best suited to them, and you get to benefit from their expertise as opposed to providing it all yourself.
What is confusing about iPAS is what, exactly, they get from you. If they are providing the website, the marketing, and the sales staff, as well as the products that will be sold on the website, then what exactly are you doing? Well, as far as I can see, you’ll be investing money.
Campbell alludes to this in his video, making a comment about how “if you invest $80,000 towards marketing,” then Campbell and Jones will kick in $20,000 to make your total marketing budget $100,000, but then they become 20% owners of the “traffic” you receive, is how they put it.
As for how exactly you make your money, and how the money is divided up between you and the iPAS company, there is no real explanation on their sales page. Campbell and Jones prefer for you to actually speak to a member of their team in order to get all the final details and to see if they will even accept you as a member for iPAS.
While the iPAS marketing system sounds interesting, and even promising, I would caution you that these one-on-one sales calls often end in the seller asking all sorts of questions about your financial situation, including bank statements and credit card limits, which generally then ends with them recommending that you max out your credit cards or empty your savings in order to become a part of this “amazing” opportunity.
It’s in your best interest to be prepared for that kind of conversation, to know up front how much money you would be willing to spend and to not allow yourself to be talked out of it. Remember, at the end of the day, every business opportunity has the potential for you to lose the money you invest, and if you can’t afford to lose it, then you should be wary of investing it.

I'm tempted to start my own scam business because there are so many millions of ignorant suckers just like you. Dumb ass.
Quite frankly, I find the whole iPAS2 MLM system to be a ridiculous yet crafty way to milk people for all their worth, while in the end, there is a whole lot of money being spent on very little, with even less to show for it.
1. The iPAS2 system is an MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) Platform. Essentially, the more people you get under you plugged into this system, paying residual amounts on a monthly basis, then the more money you will make. This is unethical, as with most MLM's, you start seeing your friends and family members as dollar signs. And if your friends and family give you the reasons why they don't want to join your club, then it has been known to cause disfellowship amongst friends or for family members to break up. MLM's are UNETHICAL!!!
2. On the onset, this system is very deceptive for two reasons: 1) They don't tell you what the products are til the very end (and tell you very little about it still)—even though their product, essentially, is the most important element to their business, or to any business for that matter. 2) They try to get you to sign up for free or for very little, telling you that you can make so so much, and then they drop the ball on you, again, toward the end of the online video course, telling you that you have to purchase all of their products in order to make any money from them.
3. They say to spend $49 p/mo on the iPAS2 marketing System, when, essentially, that is the cost to stay plugged into their business structure and to have access to their “sanctioned” business coaches. Not knowing how experienced these coaches are at instructing others on how to successfully start, let alone operate a successful business.
4. The products are a disappointment – they have a whopping total of about 5 products - a series of blogs and video teachings and online downloadable pdf's and tutorials on setting up and operating your online business. Yet just simply use google and youtube to see a plethora of good free information out there to teach you how to do just that!
5. They charge outrageous amounts for the digital products. ($25 p/mo for a blog; $300 for a series of videos; $1000 for a bunch of other online stuff). This is unnecessary. Again, I know how to use google and youtube to find free information without having to spend anything.
6. They wait to the very end to tell you what the products are. This tells me how much lack of confidence they have in their products. If a company is selling a spectacular product, the company will simply showcase it and it sells itself. Yet if a company does not have such a great product, they will have to invent an unnecessary and supposedly “genius” system around the product in order to sell it, and they also have to broadcast it with mounds of advertising in order to produce sufficient sales—and on top of it all – they wait til the very end of their business pitch to try and boost your hopes, telling you that you can make all of this money, to finally tell you what their products actually are. Yet another disappointment.
7. While the iPAS2 system sounds interesting and even promising to the hearer, they want to probe you to see how much money you are willing to fork over to be able to “make more money” through their system.
“What is confusing about iPAS is what, exactly, they get from you. If they are providing the website, the marketing, and the sales staff, as well as the products that will be sold on the website, then what exactly are you doing? Well, as far as I can see, you’ll be investing money.”

The executives of iPAS2 have developed this intricate elaborate system around, essentially, 5 digital products to make you think that you are going to be successful. They are wolves – 5 digital products (which in their instructional videos they never explain in detail what they are for anyone to determine their value). Now, one may be successful depending on how many fish you can reel in, but this iPAS2 system is simply, a downright crafty and ingenious way to charge outrageous amounts of money to teach a few business principles which I could simply google. Withal, for very little to show for it.
What you have shown about the iPas system has described exactly what I was feeling in my gut about this after watching just 3 of their explanatory videos. NO T-Y - REFUND PLEASE. I've seen enough and have NO intention of spending anymore on their "terrific opportunity" to make millions!
The old adage : "Slow and Steady Wins the Race" is tried and true. Stick with that folks and watch out for all the slick schemers out their trying to scam you out of your hard earned money!
Take it from someone who has sadly lost those millions!
Think about what business doesn't have a sale that ends 'tonight at midnight' and then once you're in the door they try to sell you other stuff...
Christ - no wonder America is so fucked.
I learned that if ppl ask u to give money to make money its usually smells bad.
I told my hubby that there is NO SUCH THING AS GETTING RICH SHORT CUT.
Thank U all for ur reviews.
U open eyes of the blind so they wont get eaten by those EVIL SHARKS WHO PRAY ON PPL WTHAT LOOOK FOR HOPE.
