Best eCommerce Drop-Shipping COURSE?

I just posted this on another thread but it applies here as well:

Hey Jim,
I can’t vouch for any of these courses personally as I haven’t taken them, but I can send you in the direction of some free beginner guides for ecommerce. Andrew Youderian has a great beginner ebook (downloadable from his blog), as well as Richard Lazazzera of A Better Lemonade Stand. Richard also has been documenting the start-to-finish of a new ecommerce site he is building, and has all the PDFs of his tips and findings on his blog (it’s called #TheGreatBuild on his site). These may not be as robust as the courses you mentioned…but they’re free, and a good start to get acclimated. Also, if you’re looking for dropshippers to work with, I’ve seen people on the Shopify forums posts their dropship partners. May be a good place to look. Good luck!

Hey James,I hope all is well..I just wanted to chime in and say I have all the courses you listed above and they are all absolutely awesome but if I was pressed to choose in a specific order I would go with drop ship lifestyle if your main focus is going to be drop shipping the forum alone is worth the price of admission plus Anton is extreamly active on the forum it's an all around great environment with top notch video training and if you couple that with store coach you will be good to go.Store coach is free training with a $10.00 a month upgrade option so you really can't go wrong.but if your main focus is to have your own eCommerce store I would go with Profitable Online Store just because the video training is great and you get a chance to talk to Steve in a group setting once a week if need be.I am not an affiliate for any of these programs I just wanted to give you my personal opinion and whats helped me get an understanding of this whole eComm/Drop shipping thing.What ever you decide I wish you all the best and if you ever want to brain storm some niche ideas or anything else eComm drop me a PM.

All the best,

Jerry

Hi Jerry - many thanks for taking the time to give me your comments above.

Yes, from what I've seen, I like both Anton's and Steve's courses, as well as "StoreCoach.com" and "ABetterLemonStand.com" (and others, including Andrew Youderian's material!) - all seem to be providing exceptional guidance for newbies (and the more experienced).

You make some good points.

CANADA - As a Canadian, I'm also interested in getting set up correctly, to enable me to target the USA market (10 x the Canadian :>)

USA - LEGAL - So, the "legal" issues of - a USA bank account - tax ID# - best type of business structure, etc, are all likely important. Not sure as yet which of the courses might touch on these factors.

Again, your input is much appreciated, as I'm still in the "learning" stages of ecommerce right now.

Sincerely / Jim A.

So, which one is the best one?

I have tried both Drop Ship Lifestyle and Ecommerce Fuel. I think they are both very good products and do not regret the purchases. They are slightly different in their methods however.

I'd say Ecommerce Fuel has more variety to their training, including a conversation with a drop shipping rep and tips on forming a company, along with the normal niche selection and website stuff. I think Andrew also better explains his reasoning for giving certain advice. The one weak point would be a lack of any communication with Andrew. He has a private forum but its only for established professionals.

Drop Ship Lifestyle is a more focused, step by step approach. There are fewer videos but they focus pretty much entirely on getting the store up and running. The course is designed to be followed pretty much to the letter. Also, unlike Ecommerce Fuel, Anton has a forum for students that is fairly active, with Anton posting pretty regularly. The one criticism I had was the lack of reason for doing something a certain way. However, the forum does a lot of clarify any issues.

Either way, there is no magic bullet. They both require actual work. If you cannot do that, you will fail.

James, if you need validation of my reviews let me know I can send you pay pal receipts for all of the courses listed above except for eFormulaEvolution.com good luck buddy.

I also wanted to mention that the thefastlaneforum.com has a lot of cool eComm/Drop shipping info on there as well. It's a free forum and you have to dig around a bit but there's some good stuff on there.

All the best,

Jerry

Hello Partners:

It's been a while since I've been in here.

I wish to THANK each of you for your generous responses to my original question.

There are "many" outstanding eCommerce Courses out there - with exceptional teachers - I've reviewed a lot of them.

However, as it turns out, after extensive research and analysis, I ended up enrolling in the eFormula Evolution Course (now closed) - a very large investment - but a decision I have not regretted for one minute.

I have been extremely impressed with the high quality course content ,and the level of coaching by (5) top experts in this field.

Again, my sincere appreciation!

Warmly / Jim A.

I have eFormulaEvolution also and it's pretty good. I am thinking about getting Dropship Lifestyle from all the positive reviews....

If I were going to buy one now, I'd probably get Anton's course. I have bought several from Sam England and they were great

I am new to this forum and very appreciative to all the information shared here. I am also trying to decide between the different courses offered. I am strongly leaning towards Drop Ship Lifestyle.

Hi guys,

Im new to this forum.

So, if you only had to choose one course, what would you choose? I'm looking for the best ecommerce course(not necessarily for dropshipping). Very interested in taking courses with more one on one consultation coz I find it more personalized and I live in Asia so I think the approach might be different.

Would appreciate your help.

Thank you.

I have never used any of those courses but what does it hurt to try. When I first learned about buying items online to resell them it took me a lot of trial and error but if one of those courses can actually teach it to you hey that is awesome and will save you time.

James Arcom,

Could you share with us, what was your final decision? I am in a similar situation (so far in the USA) and would like to know what was your choice and what do you have to say about it.

Thanks

Personally I went with Anton's course. I am very green to ecommerce, but overall I have been very impressed with the website and the information contained within the course. The forum has been very worthwhile as well. As I said, I am new to it, so I can't report any success but it has certainly caused me to think and dig deeper. There has been really great information on niche selection (arguably the hardest part, at least for me) and market research.

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer.

Ive been very happy with dropship domination. Never done anything online and started Dec 2013 for $20/mo learning ebay arbitrage. They have a suite of products that includes amazon arbitrage and importing from China. Now working with a group from there focused on training Filipino VAs to handle to handle the daily income producing activities and scale up.

Drop Ship Lifestyle is now $997. Big difference. I would have got it at $497

Robert C.

p.s. Anton, if you wanna give it to Warriors (or just me) at $497, I will join on the spot!

There ya go Anton,

You have people willing to pay the $497,,, ready and waiting. So what's better, many more $497 sales or not getting those at all and maybe a few $997 sales.

Yes, I know how the system works, it takes way less selling at $1000 than $500. We all know that. It's how IM works.

However, I learned from "Multiple Streams of Online Income" By Robert G. Allen that you should charge the people what they are willing to pay (of course within reason,, not saying $37). I'm willing to pay $500 but not $1000. In fact, he says you should send out a questionaire and ask what people would pay for your course. I'm sure people would even say they'd pay $2000+. (and pay it happily)

You should try that approach some time. But for now, a few others and myself will happily pay you $500.
PM me if you're down for that.

Robert C.

p.s. so for now which $500 dollar course do others recommend? (Hurry Anton! Money doesn't wait)

Step 1. Get resale liscense
Step 2. Figure out what to sell
Step.3. Contact manufacturers or distributers of products who actually dropship

The end

=)

I was wondering the same as Ahmed above, which course would be the best for doing e commerce in the US while not being US -resident, and not being physically present in the US?

I heard when you contact suppliers in the US, they ask for EIN number and other legal info. How can non-US residents who are not in the US go about doing this?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Nowaday's it is very important for everyone to be aware of e-commerce and dropshipping who are involved in an e-commerce business.
I have seen that there are many online tutorials and course are available who provide training of e-commerce and drop shipping.
You can also refer e-books through which you can get aware of your subject.
