The Prosperity Automated System or PAS was founded by Bill Osterhout, a former Fortune 500 executive with years of experience in internet marketing. Mr. Osterhout determined the main reason online businesses fail is due to poor prospecting and follow-up, He went on to develop The Prosperity Automated System as a passive, residual income opportunity that everyone could succeed at.

The Prosperity Automated System works as a fully automated marketing system that will generate two passive income streams, one from marketing your own products and the other from the PAS system itself. If you don't have a product, then the Prosperity Automated System becomes your product in which case you don't have to sell it, one of 47 professionals will do this for you.

Prosperity Automated Systems makes the whole process very easy because it also includes advertising for a nominal fee. Once you join you are provided with your own unique web site. A heavy advertising budget is utilized to drive targeted visitors to your site via search engine optimization, landing pages, keyword pay per click campaigns, radio and television ads to name a few. Their Alexa rating has gone from very low to more than 100 million daily impressions.

Once a prospect joins, they pay you $3000 directly.

The cost for joining Prosperity Automated Systems is $3,895, your first sale goes to your sponsor and any subsequent sales go directly to you. You are responsible for emailing the $895 to PAS headquarters in California. 

In researching this further I found a young couple in Las Vegas who made $220,000 in their first 3 months with the company. While on a cruise to celebrate quitting their jobs another $30,000 rolled in.

The Prosperity Automated System and it's owner have been investigated and charged by the SEC for not having a bona-fide product.

A lot of the Automated Online Businesses (AOB) that we see today are a result of what PAS started. The idea of an online business that does everything for you is very appealing and PAS was the closest thing that the net has ever seen.

Today we have a new evolving breed of AOB thanks to the Prosperity Automated System and Bill Ousterhout.
