Introduction: iPas2 Review
I had been hearing about iPas2 so I wanted to check it out for my self. I started my 7 day trial period. After 7 days they would charge my credit card(yes credit card was required) $47 and then recurring every month after that unless I canceled. And as soon as my card went through I was immediately sent to an up sale of $97 for the 6-figure short cut training. I went ahead and got that too.
Once you are in, there are 5 videos to watch that are “required” for their “success formula.” Each video is approximately 45min to an hour long. I watched everyone of them. I did that so you won’t have to. So you won’t have to waste your time or your money. Why do I say waste your time and money. Read this entire review to find out why. For now, let me get back to iPas2.
iPAS2 was created in 2014. It stands for Internet Prospect Accelerated System. It is the second version following iPas1. iPas2 is a Digital franchise style business, and contains all you need within an online marketing system. From the website, to the products, to the coaching and training, and to the automation and tracking, iPas2 has it all, or so they claim. The system was created to run alongside Empower Network(EN).
Pros vs. Cons
There are not too many pros I can list and I will have to cut short the cons. Here is a summary for each:
Pros.
- You get a free trial(albeit you still need a credit card)
- You get your own Empower Network Blog(once you pay $25/mo on top of the $47mo for the iPas2 system)
Cons.
- Upsells come right upon entering(that never leaves a warm and fuzzy)
- If you don’t get any other products there is limited to customer support
- It has similarities to a Pyramid scheme(and I really mean Pyramid scheme not MLM!)
- If you want to make the real money you have to buy their Profit Maximizers(there is a disclaimer stating this right on one of the videos I watched!)
- If you don’t get the products there is limited to no coaching or training
- No access to the owners
- Have to promote iPas2 and Empower Network not your passions or interest
Who is iPas2 for?
They claim that it is for anyone, especially those that have no computer, techy background whatsoever. And that may be, but I never got a chance to find out for my self. Why? Because I was bombarded with up sells. I didn’t even know what I was going to be “selling” until the 4th of the 5 video series. It was at that point when the “up sells” started to really make their way. On the bottom of the screen read:
“*You can get activated without purchasing profit maximizers but you forfeit any and all Empower Network sales to the person who referred you to this site.”
The Profit Maximizers are just another word for Empower Network products. For me to even attempt to see “who is iPas2 for?” I would have had to buy their products totaling more than $5,000, and I still did not even know what I was actually getting!
Through out these videos they talk about “Well, if you’re the person that is looking for something for nothing, then this isn’t the place for you.”
My stance on that is that I am not looking for something for nothing. What I am looking for is value in return for any product that I buy. I simply did not see that here.
In addition, Chris Jones uses an example in one of the videos that the Profit Maximizers were just like McDonald’s Main Menu and the trial offer was like their $1 menu. The difference, though, is that I know what I am getting when I order a Double Quarter Pounder Meal vs. iPas2’s up sells or Profit Maximizers, I have no clue as to what my money is really buying.
So if you have over $5,000 to drop and not worry about, then iPas2 is for you.

iPas2 Training & Tools
There is different levels of training, that I will get to in a minute, that come with different costs associated to each. But what I can tell you from personal experience in Empower Network is that the lower level cost of training is very high level, big picture training. Not step-by-step on how to do something. I say Empower Network because that is what these so called trainings are. iPas2 calls them “Profit Maximizers”, what they really are, are Empower Network products. Confused yet? lol Exactly.
iPas2 does come with some tools. They have a tracking system already built in to track your traffic and leads and it will tell you how much traffic you need to create a certain amount of money per month. This is pretty cool, but it isn’t’ unique. Many of the best online marketing systems have something like this within them as well.
One of the trainings even talks about how to hypnotize yourself….I guess that’s what you have to do to go “All in” here.
Does iPas2 offer any Support?
Again, and I know I sound like a broken record, but it is the same. Once you start buying more “Profit Maximizers” the more support you may get. I had no real access to the owners or the ability to talk to anyone else within the system and ask questions. I mean even in an MLM there are people around you that you can ask questions from little to big and get answers back in a timely manner. I didn’t find that here at all.
I did get access to a one time coaching session but from that point on it would have cost me more money than what I was already paying. If you are looking for one-on-one guidance, support, or training, then iPas2 is not for you.
**In comparison my #1 recommended product does offer 1v1 training, guidance, and support. It provides access to the owners themselves.
I did receive emails every other day or so from Chris Jones, one of the owners, but it was more motivational and asking me to got the next step(buy more products).
How much does it cost to join iPas2?
The cost can be confusing, and it is more than what is initially advertised:
iPas2 System $47/mo – This is the part that tracks all your sales and helps automate the business
iPas2 6-Figure Short Cut $97 – This is where the hypnotizing training is located
Profit Maximizers(the EN products you can’t make money on unless you buy them too)
- Blog $25/mo – the blog is a subdomain, you don’t get to create truly your own blog
- Inner Circle $100/mo – audio series mostly motivation, mostly get your mind right, how to be an entrepreneur, being able to tap into that type of thought process, build success mindsets and point of views.
- Costa Rica Intensive Mastermind $500 – PDF doc that go along with training videos, a retreat that was shot in Costa Rica with EN leaders, teaches a little more on how someone can build a successful marketing business
- 15k formula $1,000 – Empower Network leaders got together a put a curriculum on how to make 15k per month
- Master’s Retreat $3,000 – Highest level of training that EN could find on internet marketing
By the way, the product description I got above was taken word for word from the 5 videos I listened to. That is all I received to make my decision on whether or not I wanted to jump “All in” and spend over $5,000!
My Final Thoughts on iPas2
From the moment I entered the product I felt I was trying to be up sold. Let’s say for a second, that I decided to go “All in” and buy into their system, would I feel comfortable promoting this to my family and friends, to my own mother? The answer is NO, I wouldn’t. That is where the rubber meets the road for me.
Even if I could make all that money, I wouldn’t feel right the way I was doing it. It just doesn’t feel ethical to me. It isn’t the up sells that turn me off as much as not knowing what I am buying. If I really knew what I was getting, if there was a thorough explanation before I bought, that would be different.
There is a saying that goes in the sales industry, “You will be able to eat great, but you won’t be able to sleep at night.” To put it simply, that is not a place for me, no matter how much money I could make.
