Anyone here heard of this. I was looking all over the net and so far have heard notthing but good reviews - which is rare for interent businesses. Apparently it's an online business where you sell internet marketing software that you can resell and you also get your own website and it gives you training on how you can direct traffic to your site through ads I guess so that others can purchase the software and be trained and they can earn money doing the same thing. I figure it's not really a scam because they are selling a product and there's no MLM kind of thing. You keep the profits from what you sell. My concern is the marketing aspect. I mean isn't it like if you have 20 people seeling hair brushes on the same street how much money can you really make? And also how much $$ will you have to invest in placing ads to promote your site? Their are free ad sites but I have a feeling they're probably not gonna be as effective at generating business.
Oh by the way the product is $200.00 which you also get the right to resell the over 50 software products
and $49.00 for access to the training area of the site and your own IPC website where you can sell the product. From what I've read provides lots of helpful training.
It seems like a worthwhile investment for only $249 if you can sell a few of these. I'm going to continue to look on YouTube as well. But so far I haven't dug up anything negative. If any of you had experience with it let me know.

I have not heard of this business, but I can ask some questions, and hopefully save you some cash.
So this business allows you to sell marketing software to WHO? Why would they purchase it from you? Why wouldn't they purchase the same software from the company you are purchasing it from?
They will set up a web site, who hosts it? Is there a monthly fee? How long will this site be active?
Training for 50.00 sounds pretty cheap, is that 1 hour or 20 mintues? Where is the training done? How is it done?
I can tell you based on what you have posted thus far, it sounds a LOT like it is a rip off. Just because someone has not already posted bad stuff doesn't mean they will not be shortly.

So far, in my experience, anything that tells you to simply place ads to sell your product is usually a scam. You are selling software. What kind of software? Is it the same software you are buying? You shouldn't pay for training. I would stay very very far away from something like that. If you want to get into some sort of sales, go do something you know and that you like. There are so many direct selling businesses out there it isn't even funny. Direct selling is actually more popular than people shopping at the stores. Most businesses thrive if you put the time and effort into them. But if you are being told that this requires little to no time, and little to no effort, then you will make little to no money.
Economics 101: There is no such thing as a free lunch. That is the one thing I remember from that class because we heard it every day.

Well, I've been looking it over and apparently it looks like it's legit, but something not for me. Basically it's internet marketing.
You sell a package of internet marketing software, e-books, etc. in which you keep the profits. You can use the site that the company provides, in which you can sell the membership in addition to the software. It basically direct marketing on the internet. And you can probably make a few bucks. And, even though it's the one time $49 to have your site, I'm sure to get your business and product "out there" you're probably going to need varioius strategies and methods, and some time to market it, and besides using the free advertising methods, maybe even some $$ depending on the advertising you want to get into, for it to really take off, through placing internet ads, links, banners etc., YouTube ads, which they tell you how to do in the tutorials and the in the software if you're a newbie.
This is probably great for people who have the time. But I'm not sure it's something I'm prepared to take on. As a full time working mom my time is kinda limited right now. So I'm not gonna have time to start and learn all that's needed to do in internet marketing.
I don't think I even have time to sell Avon
