Agreed. Also interesting that a lot of these ecom guys move onto creating their own SaaS platforms after being successful at internet marketing.
Yes and that's the whole point that's holding me back of trying ecom via shopify and oberlo.
Following Dan's current serie leave me disappointed : he uses lots of platforms (or tools) that are not free (not a problem per se) and for which he has interest in. To me that screems scam.
What do you think about that ? Legit or not legit ?
Whenever these "gurus" start to promote SaaS tools, ebooks or other digital products it is usually a sign that a certain method is drying out and they are not able to make money of the method itself anymore.
I have no interest myself in the Aliexpress, Shopify model but reading a few online marketing blogs and forum it seems like that everyone is doing this model right now which means that Facebook CPCs must have been skyrocketing over the past few months.
I can be wrong with my assessment but that's just my two cents about "gurus" selling products rather than making Millions doing the method they say they make Millions with.
This is incorrect.
The reason you see them selling educational products, is because the educational business model is simply superior.
Let's take Dan for example. He sells a 'Monthly Mastermind', at roughly $50/month (discounted). His private FB group for this Mastermind consists of 4,500 members, each paying 50/month + more for other special services etc...
$225,000/month - and if you want to be generous, let's drop it to $150,000.
The market isn't saturated enough to make this business model not feasible, it's just that education is a better business model. It's as simple as that.
I started a mens jewelry store a few weeks ago, and have eclipsed $300/day, selling unbranded, mens jewelry. I did this store as a case study - it's a ridiculously easy way to make money if you put in the time, and effort.
Saying dropshipping is drying out, or saturated, is silly - you're not selling the method to consumers, you're selling the products. And with the Shopified app, you have access to millions upon millions of new products. Saturation isn't even remotely close.
