Niche Blueprint

tkdummy · 01-13-2009, 01:50 PM

google "yahoo store builder". looks similar n is cheaper.

shukes · 01-13-2009, 02:25 PM

Can niche blueprint work from the UK, instantly, or is there a lead in time, to give the creators time to develop relationships with UK suppliers.

Kind regards

Some good information on here. I think most of these products are not going to make anyone rich (except for the content creators). But you may learn a few tricks here or there.
The thing to keep in mind if you are new to online this isn't a simply way to make money is despite what they say. Starting an ecommerce store isn't the easiest thing to do if you have no online experience. There is a lot of commitment required.
That may be covered by the training though. For people interested in the ecommerce world the boys over at Stompernet have good material around this subject (seeing that is where they started, with a yahoo store).

IMChick · 01-13-2009, 10:32 PM

I'm very tired of guru groupies and rah-rah launches, I don't know how else to say it. And guys, you're biased if you're on the CB forums and then come here telling all how great this is. Believe me, we can tell.

By spending $500 or $300 whatever your discount level is for this course, you can set up your own ecommerce solution with $475 or more to spare. This doesn't seem different, it just seems like it drips info to everyone. But are you really satisfied waiting 3 more weeks till you get to the setup module? What else could you have done in that three weeks time?

Any critiques (from non affiliate or non forum groupies over on the CB boards) of the actual mechanics of the course now that a few are inside?

BubbasBits · 01-13-2009, 11:04 PM

I have to say there is a lot of valuable information here and a lot of different perspectives.
I would like to share a slightly different one, first I would like to say I have Comm BluePrint, along with Thousands of dollars in other programs and systems I have purchased. I also just purchased Niche Blueprint.

I have to say out of the all the programs I have purchased Steve and Tim have great information and operate their business with integrity and honesty.
I understand some of you think profit margins are smaller and there is more work involved than simply selling an information product and that is probably true, but it also has its advantages by being able to dominate a niche more easily since the sky is the limit on what you can sell.
And everything imaginable is being sold on the internet, as a matter of fact where is the first place we go to find a hard to find item.

Now from my perspective; I used to own a traditional brick and morter offline store with employees, overhead, maintenance, inventory, etc.
I had a relatively small business and it cost 25,000 -30,000 per month to operate whether we sold any thing or not. If I would have had the opportunity to sell online with basically no overhead, no building, no inventory and could handle everything from a remote location that would have been unbelievable. That is now possible! To me running a business like this is a dream job with all kinds of free time.
You must remember it wasn't very long ago when being a business owner meant 12 or 18 hour days 7 days a week. The internet has changed that.

I got to laugh at Niche Blueprint.
Why pay 500.00 to find something to sell ?

Oh ya and they don't tell you everything.

If you like to do a lot of work Niche Blueprint might be great.

Niche Blueprint or Tim & Steve is going to make a lot of money
from you all which will probably be easier than finding more niches
for themselves.

I was once a cynic as well, so I certainly know where you're coming from.

With that said, you obviously haven't seen the course yet you claim "they don't tell you everything." Then you follow it up by saying if you like to do a lot of work NB might be great. Honestly, with that attitude, I highly doubt you'll ever create a successful thriving business.

The coaching in NB is some of the most concise, well organized coaching I have ever participated in.

I'm not an affiliate for NB and you won't find me promoting it anywhere. It is extraordinarily good so far though.

I'm hoping I can answer the questions that have been asked here, not in an effort to promote Niche Blueprint, (which I don't mind telling you I am on my own site), but to give people the information they're looking for so that on Monday they can make an informed decision about whether Niche Blueprint is for them or not.

@winebuddy - Niche Blueprint IS focused on setting up sales sites (ecommerce stores) for products like birdcages and other niches and sub niches. There's never been a secret made of that.

@madisonavenue - This has nothing to do with affiliates. You're dealing with wholesale suppliers, not individual product owners. You own your store. You choose your niche and the products you want to supply to that niche. You set the prices, collect the payments, and place the order. If you choose to, you can sell your store.

@jawai - I've seen parts of Niche Blueprint, but not the whole package. There was some testing done, of course, but only by a handful of folks. No one else has it yet. I know it works because I've seen firsthand the end results of using the methods taught in Niche Blueprint.

@rayt - Products are purchased, as I mentioned earlier, from wholesale suppliers and/or manufacturers. You won't be buying anything from 'the creators', Steve, Tim, Dave and Mike, beyond your purchase of Niche Blueprint.

@IMChick - The total price is $497. There is a payment plan option to split your payments in half if you'd like.

@Nutrifitness - Commission Blueprint and Niche Blueprint are two completely different programs that teach two completely different business models with a singular goal. To give you diversity in the ways you put money in your pocket.

CommBlue focuses on profitably promoting Clickbank products with PPC. The methods, of course, can be applied to any marketing plan. NicheBlue, on the other hand, teaches you how to research, create, market, expand and/or sell, your own ecommerce store.

@JohnnyO - The train horn site was indeed profitable when it was for sale. It was profitable within a week of when it was first created. But when it was sold, it averaged a net profit of about $2000 per month. Today it's 2 1/2 times that amount. The results Steve talks about in the videos is current sales volume. His results. Steve and Tim did not own the site when it was for sale. They bought it.

PM me if you need the email for CommBlue support.
You should not be getting a fatal error, or any other kind.

@IMChick - I'm puzzled how you can it's too expensive for what it is...since in all probability you don't know yet. As far as "customers piling into each niche they release"...there are no niches 'released'. Each person can choose whatever niche their little heart desires. You ARE the boss...you make all the decisions...this is a REAL business.

@ad2012 - Thank you...you did a good job of covering most of the elements of Niche Blueprint. A couple of things though...things did not work out for the free hosting. Your store will be hosted with whomever you choose. Another important component that you didn't mention is the comprehensive suppliers directory that is also included. It rivals (if not surpasses) WorldWide Brands, which you would have to pay $299.00 to access.

@rayt - Like Adam said...it's a one time payment...no monthly membership, not even a one time offer. The only expenses you'll incur after your purchase is a domain name, hosting, and an SSL certificate (which can be found for under $20, I paid $11.25 for one.) This is a security seal that lets customers know the site is secure for them to order.

@madisonavenue - You're right, some ecommerce sites may be suffering right now. Some were suffering long before there was an economic slowdown. That's why the methods taught for researching your niche are so important. You'll learn how to choose niches that are most likely to be profitable. You do not have to deal with stock or inventory. You set up your own return policy, including a no return policy, should you so choose. In most cases, returns are made to and handled by the supplier.

@amitywill - The birdcage site did indeed belong to Dave and Mike, and was sold several months before they met Steve and Tim. They have since formed a partnership to create and develop Niche Blueprint, based on the astounding results from not just Dave and Mike, but from Steve's own experience with the site he bought from them...the train horn site. As I said earlier, it was averaging about $2000 a month in profits, it's now around $5,000. It's had incoming links created, and SEO techniques applied, new inventory has been added as well as articles to the site. So while the basic site was there, the ranking and the income have gone up as a direct result of what's been done SINCE the purchase. And on Monday, when you see the sales page, you will indeed see further proof. (Yes, I have seen the sales page.) And you don't need to be 'experienced' in order to be successful. I had no prior experience in ecommerce stores.

@ad2012 - Good point, yes, there can be a few headaches. I can't think of too many real business models that don't have them. And that's exactly what the Hermansen brothers were doing when they met Steve. They had been quietly making a small fortune from creating websites, or buying them cheaply, giving them a makeover, and making them profitable. Then they decided whether they wanted to sell them or keep them. And yes, they (all the guys) have a sewing machine site that's fairly new and already bringing in over $7000 a month in sales. I do know the URL, but to respect their privacy, I won't display in a public forum.

@WF4me - I agree, I hope people do their due diligence, not just on Niche Blueprint, but on any program they're considering. Not every business model is right for every person. While I'm not one of the authors of Niche Blueprint, I can address many of the concerns you voiced. They did not try 'unsuccessfully' to flip the pbmissions site. They sold it. The margin rate WAS 20%...it's now between 30 and 35%. And while you may think $3000 a month is "certainly not great or outstanding in any way", I for one disagree. I think it's extremely outstanding to be able to make $3000 a month with about 4-6 hours of work per week.

If you have a phone or an email account, you have all the "specialized software" you need to forward customer info to the suppliers. The ecommerce platform itself (provided in Niche Blueprint) takes care of tracking sales. You only deal with customer phone calls if you choose to. Having a phone number on your website is a good idea, but certainly not a requirement. If you're in business today, you'll likely have to deal with credit card processing, but even that isn't completely necessary. NicheBlue explains all the options. Items out of stock from time to time become a reality when you begin selling something besides digital products.

I can't imagine what you've seen that would lead you to believe there will be no customer support from Niche Blueprint. There will be an abundance of support, personal support from Steve, Tim, Dave and Mike and perhaps one or two other trusted sources. You can't come up with a problem you won't be helped with. This attention to personal support is one of the reasons they're putting a cap on the number of people who purchase.

Yes, pbmissions is ranked well in Google, usually in the first or second spot for the keywords associated with the site. And isn't that what so many of the 'gurus' teach? Find a hungry market without a lot of competition and you can own it. Yes, who knew there was a market? Dave did. He did the research and determined there was not only a market, but a hungry, passionate market. Who else knew there was market for such a crazy product? Steve did. Which is why he bought it. And because it's even more successful now than it was before, should he decide at some point to sell it, he can get at least double what he paid for it.

And no, there's no "magic voodoo" about SEO, it's just still a mystery for a lot of folks. The reasons the train horn site ranks well is because of what Steve did to it and for it...and that's exactly what he'll teach you how to do in Niche Blueprint for your store.

@Donnie - It is easy to outsource many of the day to day jobs of running an ecommerce store. And you could outsource everything, including the set up if that's what you wanted to do. And as soon as they start showing profits, you can indeed flip them. As I said before, that's what Dave and Mike have been doing for several years.

@joe0074 - Running an ecommerce store doesn't have to be hard work at all. If you find that it's more work than you like, you always have the option of selling it. There simply are no hidden costs. You may choose to run a ppc campaign, but that's totally a personal choice and not necessary to have a successful store.

@brucerby - Again, I'm a little confused by how much work you seem to think is involved. Yes, there is some, but if you know of way to make money with absolutely no work, I'd love to hear about it. And if you can dismiss $2000 a month in profits, perhaps this isn't the program for you. But I know many people working 40+ hours a week for that same amount, or even less, that would gladly welcome the opportunity to make $2000 a month in 4-6 hours worth of work a week instead of 40.

I hope I've answered everyone's questions here. I've tried to be as helpful as I could be in clearing up any confusions or misconceptions. If anyone has any further questions, I'm more than happy to address them. You're welcome to PM me, or ask them here, and if it's something I can answer, I'll be glad to.

Warm regards,
Honey Wesley

Thank you for a well detailed explanation.
I had read the NicheQ.com Niche Hunting Edition a few days ago, and i was really enlightened. But now, i gathered from the forum that it may not be a good idea for people like me, just starting to 'GO' the IM way, to get it. What do you say to this?

Yeah, e-commerce, but what, how exactly?

Because I am a member of this forum, I came right over. Happily, thanks to lots of you folks, (both those who asked the right tough questions and those who did their best to answer them) I now, do, have a better idea of what the product offers, the pros and the cons and have concluded, that indeed, it is not for me.

I think that's a win for me and for the folks at Niche Blueprint. Because of those who took the time to spell out the details the sales letter didn't, NB was saved an unhappy customer and a refund down the line. I saved myself the interest on the money and more importantly, the diversion of my attention and investment of time in something for which I'm not currently well suited. We both come out ahead.

Good luck to those who have purchased!

Long live the Warrior Forum and its contributors. You truly rock. Thanks, CP

Yeah!!!! WF does rock. I have learnt so much in just a couple of weeks.
But to put to practice?
Hmmmmmm!!!!!
Learned a lot but cant figure out my 1st step. Information overload.
My good people of WF, talk to me. I need you now more than ever.

I'm sending you to the "search" function on the red ribbon above this thread so you don't hijack this thread with off-topic requests because you'll get a frown

from everyone. Search for newbie, noob, starting out and see what's there in terms of resources and other ideas. Good luck.

Alwayscool · 01-14-2009, 12:36 PM

I got this one now. Seems like a lot of good and valuable info. But does not seems to be worth $500 at least for now. I am yet to get the remaining modules. A $200-$300 price is better in my opinion, but thats just my opinion.

Commission blueprint was a much better product from Steve and Tim and well worth the price.

thegtz · 01-14-2009, 01:57 PM

Any bought NicheBluePrint yet? I did on 1/12/09. Plus their doors are closed now but on the site they said they will reopen it soon.

nursehoney · 01-16-2009, 02:03 AM

It's been my experience that when someone starts a sentence with "No offense, but", what they're about to say is indeed something offensive. I've found the same to be true when they say, "I'm not trying to be rude, but"... usually they're NOT trying...they just are.

I've been accused of "skirting" a question. I made two incredibly long, incredibly detailed posts and answered many questions...I apologize if I missed a few.

As to the answer to that question, "why don't they just build stores and make thousands every month instead of selling the system they use to do it? I don't know their reasons, you'd have to ask them...but I have to wonder, what's wrong with doing both?

Isn't that what so many of the gurus teach? Learn how to do something well and you can charge people for that knowledge.

Why does Mike Filsaime keep selling his systems? Or Michael Cheney or Alex Mandossian or Stephen Pierce or the guys at Stompernet or just about any other top level 'guru' you can name? They're all millionaires too...why don't they just work their system and make their money instead of selling people the system they used?

I suspect part of the reason they do it is for the same reason MOST of the people on this forum are here...to make more money. And I can't blame anybody for wanting that.

Jay Es · 01-16-2009, 04:42 PM

this thread has good discussion of commission blueprint and niche blueprint.

does anyone here have commission blueprint that can comment on the RESULTS they have seen. From above we know product is good, i'd like to hear more about people's successes or failures using the product and what value it is delivering to them.

Cheaper, yes. Similar, not really. Yahoo Store Builder is a product of Andy Jenkins, and is geared toward building an e-commerce store primarily using Yahoo's platform. The original e-book is what got Brad Fallon and his wife started with their e-commerce business, and the rest is history.

You must remember it wasn't very long ago when being a business owner meant 12 or 18 hour days 7 days a week. The internet has changed that.

I have a similar perspective. Used to have a consulting / software business. Niche research for NB vs ongoing prospecting to corporates / writing proposals / doing proof of concepts. $497 once-off vs signing a 3 year rental agreement to accommodate 10 employees, equipment & SW for 10 employees + of course 10 monthly salaries. Not to mention levies etc.

This was a no-brainer for me.

I recognise the frustration of some buyers that they have to wait for the next couple of modules. I felt that initial irriration too. However, I've found I've needed the time anyway to adequate research the recommended 20 prospective niches - so the drip-feed hasn't actually negatively impacted me. Might in fact even helped to discipline me to the do thorough research. Gee - I wonder if that's what they did it ...

Hopefully some of the more active NB purchasers will have enough success stories to report so that when NB reopens in a few months prospective buyers will have more than sales letter critique and opinions to guide them.

Impressions after Module 2. Same good quality videos as CB from Steve. Plus getting good inputs from Dave - giving us his street-smart ecommerce insights.

Like another poster has mentioned - this business model is one I can actualy discuss with my wife. Who knows - I might even be able to outsource some of the research to her - especially if its knitting or sewing machines, or bags, or ...

winy925 · 01-17-2009, 11:37 AM

i reccomned it its a good product

jspmedia · 01-17-2009, 12:08 PM

Anything going on with Niche Blueprint? When do they come out with new modules?

StevenR · 01-18-2009, 01:58 AM

I invested in this as well.

Simply because I have been in the process of creating ecommerce sites and wanted to learn the strategy of people who are more savvy than I.

I don't buy products very often and I actually had no idea who the guys behind this product were, but since some people I trust said these guys are legit I decided to jump in.

Having watched the available modules, I have to say I'm quite impressed.
The content is quite thorough and although I consider myself quite well versed in market research and analysis, it would nice to get a different perspective and some figures to work with when analyzing potential markets.

I also like the fact that they are drip feeding the modules, and it's quite refreshing to see that they provide both written and audio-visual content.

I've decided to start posting a progress report on my blog of what happens as I follow the program. We'll see if this is going to be as simple as they make it look.

All the best,
Steve

theinternetguy · 01-18-2009, 03:35 AM

hi everyone. I have not tried commission blue print but I have heard of it. I can say I do trust it for one reason only. I dont know if this reason means anything to you but I am a subscriber on the Frank Kern Mailing list. I know you all heard of frank kern. one of the best internet marketers. He sent out an email about a week go promoting commission blueprint. Now i know that Frank Kern does not promote anything unless it is of value and that he had looked it over first. So as far as that goes I can tell you that I trust in commission blueprint and probably also niche blueprint..

Just thought to add this for all to know.
Thank you..

jficarro · 01-18-2009, 10:45 PM

I hope this thread will continue now that people have had a chance to purchase and review the product. Unfortunately, I just came across this today. I am a little tired of selling "information products" and nich sites with ads is typically chump change. I am very interested in merchant sites. I could do it myself, but if this product makes it easier and quicker, then it is worth a few hundred bucks. Customer interaction can be a real pain, but that's just part of doing business. (real sustainable business)

Adam Jackson · 01-18-2009, 11:52 PM

I'm with you on that James. I prefer to move products much more than information. I've tried, but cannot get excited about moving digital info, etc. Thank god for those that do enjoy it.

In 2000 and 2001 I made killer money moving a high priced product on the internet. Times change, and there was no longer a market for the product. I took a break from the internet stuff and focused on work.

I've had decent success with adsense and affiliate programs. My best producing income is selling advertising on my sites....easy money.

But, I miss selling physical products and am excited to start doing it again.

I wish I would have had Niche Blueprint when I first started years ago. I would have saved a lot of money.

The first 2 modules of NB are extremely detailed and very powerful; especially video number 2. If people will just follow the steps, without shortcuts, they should do very well. I hope to see 5 figure weeks again. I think NB is the tool that can help me get there.

P.S. No, I'm not an affiliate; just one happy customer. :-)

Adam

lburrell · 01-19-2009, 11:02 AM

I own this product (as well as Commission Blueprint). I like the way the product is being presented, the videos are good, there is a great forum for help - I am looking forward to building my first e-commerce niche-product store in the next few weeks.

Probably not for people looking to buy a "Click Here To Print Money With No Work" product.

I'm certain if I looked through the sales page I'd find something along those lines. Maybe they don't "say" no work is necessary but they sure do hint at it.

I'd respect them more had they explicitly said "you might not make money. Yep, it's true, not everyone will be "cranking out money." Only those that bust their ass and have some luck will succeed with this one...

but alas, that wouldn't get them sales....

If they don't say "no work is necessary", why say they do? I've read the sales page several times. Not once did I ever get the impression that no work is necessary. They don't even hint at it.

Wait, hold the phone here....are you saying if people do nothing with the information, it won't work for them, and that only those who DO do something with it will succeed? You gotta be kidding me? I've never heard such nonsense. Should they tell folks the sky is blue too?

Yeah, they probably should have put that in there somewhere. It's not, like, obvious or anything. Oh wait, they did:

"So as you can see, this is a massive, ultra comprehensive and exceptionally easy to follow course although we will be upfront with you and say that to be successful with it will require some work on your part..."

There are things to criticize in the letter. Saying "no work is necessary" isn't one of them.

I purchased Commission Blueprint and have profited greatly from it. I have written several reviews and a case study on my blog listed below (Black Hat Blog). The main reason I decided to purchase Niche Blueprint was because of my success with Commission Blueprint. The content so far is very good, not earth shattering, but I think this was setup this way to keep the refund rate down since they were only selling to 700 or so people.

I plan on using the lessons I learned with Adwords to use with the stores I create with Niche Blueprint and hopefully it will turn out well.

and

Saying this: "So as you can see, this is a massive, ultra comprehensive and exceptionally easy to follow course although we will be upfront with you and say that to be successful with it will require some work on your part..."

Are two very different things. And congrats on finding the one line in there that mentions "work". (I can't see the sales page anymore or I would verify)

Does it say anywhere is the sales page that some will fail even if they put in some work? There's a 100% guarantee on that one b/c if there wasn't every single person would be banking and the word would get out and so on and so on and EVERYONE would sign up then.

I mean, it's okay, it's a sales letter. I get it. I guess my main point is these things keep getting more and more over the top. I'd rather hear what I have to do, how many hours it will take, what "realistically" could make ($175,000/month HA!), and what skills i need to do it. Then I'd be more willing to fork over $497 and give it a whirl. There's no way in hell my grandmother could do this haha

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of response?! I think one person said they had a good experience. Commission Blueprint seems to be one of the top products on ClickBank so TONS of people have bought it.

Hoping to hear from more people who bought it and their FINANCIAL Results. (not comments about the content of the product).

Here is my One Month evaluation of Commission Blueprint

Commission Blueprint Review Part 2: 1 Month Evaluation Complete | Black Hat Software

I posted this November 5th. Since that time I have increased my profits by increasing the number and types of landing pages, doing more split tests with them, and scaling (as desribed in the program).

I consider it to be one of the better programs I have ever purchased. That being said, I had a good knowledge base already when I started and I still use some of my own PPC methods along with theirs. In fact, I like to boost my Quality Score right off the bat by ranking number #1 for my first 5 days before I back off as opposed to their method which says you don't have to.

becks · 01-21-2009, 10:59 AM

I have been involved with the Niche Blueprint project for about a week now. At this point in my IM business I really do not trust anyone anymore. However, and this is only after one week now all I can say from my jaded point of view and remember I am in the program, is so far so good. I'm not going to say that it is easy, because frankly how many niches are still available on the Internet although the program has led me to a couple. After being burned a couple of times what made the difference for me was the 60 day guarantee. I realized that the guarantee is only as good as the company behind it, but because of their track record, I took the chance. After one week I have not made money, but it is still early and these guys are doing what they said they would - so far.......

jficarro · 01-21-2009, 06:36 PM

Thanks for that. Please let us know how things progress. I'm sorry I missed the release of the product. I hope some other users will come forward to let us know their results.

I'm right there with you. I am intrigued so far, but not completely hooked yet. I get the concept and its a smart one. Exploiting it is another story. Like you, I am waiting this out to see where it goes.

I have submitted two tickets to their support desk. One was deleted without a response, and the other still shows as pending.

I have also sent two emails requesting a refund (as stated in that "no questions asked money back guarantee") and have not received a response to either one of them, nor a refund.

jficarro · 01-27-2009, 08:40 PM

That doesn't sound too good. Would you mind detailing what kind of support you were looking for, and why you wanted a refund (not that a reason should be required - just wondering). Any insite into the program would be helpful too. Maybe it just didn't appeal to you, but might for me?

Johnny O · 01-27-2009, 08:46 PM

It's a bummer to hear that their support is bad. I was really liking these guys. Hope it's all not a facade as they make big promises of assistance should you need it.

Aside from that, I bought the course because I currently do quite well with ecommerce and I wanted to see what I might be missing. If you are an experienced marketer there is nothing new here so far, but if you are not making money online, this course is a fantastic way to begin. It's very clear and easy to follow even with no prior knowledge and it outlines very solid principles of making money online. You could use this knowledge in the course to start any kind of online business, not just an ecommerce store.

The market research stuff is great, especially for a newbie, and the resources available are great if you want to start an online store. Even as a full time Internet Marketer, I am happy I spent the money and picked up the course. Nice little gems here and there.

Had I found info like this when I was first starting out, it would have saved me a lot of time.

The reason for the support requests were for having trouble viewing their videos. I couldn't view them at all in the very first module because of the type of file they were, even after using their recommended player. I have noticed in some of the later modules that they have also included media player versions of the videos, but doesn't help much with the first module which is intented to get you started. I don't assume that everyone had trouble with the videos, but it would have been nice to receive some support so I personally could watch them.

Some of what I have seen in the other modules may very well be great information for anyone looking to start an e-commerce business, or just great information for those looking to fine tune their skills for an existing e-commerce business. I'm not disputing that course doesn't deliver. Just personally, for me, lack of support from the beginning has left a bad taste in my mouth.

I am a member of Niche Blueprint and find their customer support excellent - one of the best in IM (and I have belonged to a few!).

Most support tickets are answered within 24 hours (even on the W/E) and we have a forum where there are many active and knowledgeable members to answer questions or get advice.

Adam Jackson · 01-27-2009, 09:38 PM

Sorry to hear you've had problems. I've had no problem with support. I asked a question sunday night, and support answered it monday. Hope it works out for you.

jficarro · 01-27-2009, 09:58 PM

Do any users want to comment on the drop ship suppliers? Is it just a list of suppliers that want to do business with you? How are the wholesale prices compared to other wholesalers that offer dropshipping?

The reason I ask is because if this part of the "program" is really really good, it pretty much justifies the expense.

Now adays (is that a word?) most dropship lists are on a monthly subrcriber bases. If you had a great source, with more sources added regularly - it would be something you could grow with (only if the wholesale prices are truely "below wholesale".

fenderstrat78 · 01-27-2009, 10:44 PM

I'm in module 2 of Niche Blueprint, but so far it seems to be a very high quality course. But it'd better be given the price, I suppose. I'm just a noob to marketing, so I don't have too much to compare it to. Maybe I'll poke my nose in again when I get a couple more modules done (and a few bucks in my Paypal account.)

nursehoney · 01-27-2009, 11:11 PM

@vtanner...if you'll pm me, I'll personally see to it that your refund request is taken care of, and I'm very sorry it wasn't handled in a more timely manner.

The dropship directory is in fact an ongoing creation. So yes, it's a great value. The software you use to install an unlimited number of stores is a great value. The extras that have been included at no charge, including additional video tutorials and several must haves for an ecommerce business...each one is a great value. And the knowledge you gain about creating a real, sustainable, profitable business...priceless.

And to the poster who commented he hadn't made money but it's only been a week...the software module just came out yesterday, so no, no one's making money yet.

As to support, all I can tell you is that we have some of the most dedicated support people I've ever seen and our goal is a response time of 24 hours or less. Based on the feedback we've gotten, most folks couldn't be more pleased.

Have there been complaints? Sure. I don't care what you produce, you'll never please everyone. Have there been refund requests? You betcha. When people discover there's more to starting and running an online business than clicking a few buttons and waiting for money to start spewing forth...naturally you're gonna have some folks wanting their money back. Which has been done without question in every instance.

And there are some people for whom an ecommerce store is not a good fit, and that's understandable. It's one of the reasons for an extended guarantee period.

Am I biased in favor of Niche Blueprint? You better believe it...but I won't lie to you about it. I don't mind one bit coming in here and trying to clarify questions as much as I can without revealing the specifics of the course. That would be a disservice to all those who paid good money for the information.

But I have to admit, I have a problem even feeling the need to defend or explain anything to those who didn't buy it, didn't read the sales page and really know nothing about it at all and yet feel qualified somehow to have an opinion on it.

If you have legitimate questions or comments, doubts or concerns, my PM box is open and there's a link to send me email in my profile. I'd be delighted to address anything I can answer without, as mentioned earlier, giving details that would be unfair to Niche Blueprint customers.

kierenm · 01-27-2009, 11:57 PM

Niche Blueprint is just as good as their last product.. as expected. I'd highly recommend it when it's made available again.

Lots of good information to help you set up a niche ecommerce site, and the guys behind it actually care about their customers succeeding which is very cool.

Focused Action · 01-28-2009, 03:52 AM

Honey

as usual, another great post. i am amazed as I read this forum how many people are searching for that magic "push button" system that prints money out of their printer while they sleep.

if you are an entrepreneur looking to build wealth and abundance, it takes work. it takes daily FOCUSED action to build your company, whether it is an ecommerce store, an affiliate marketing company, an infoproduct course, etc. etc.

find a system that you feel comfortable with, that makes sense to you, that you can build upon and create true value to your customers and you will be successful. time block your days so you are taking massive action working on your business!

I think most of these products are not going to make anyone rich (except for the content creators). But you may learn a few tricks here or there. The thing to keep in mind if you are new to online this isn't a simply way to make money is despite what they say. Starting an ecommerce store isn't the easiest thing to do if you have no online experience. There is a lot of commitment required. That may be covered by the training though. For people interested in the ecommerce world the boys over at Stompernet have good material around this subject (seeing that is where they started, with a yahoo store).

And guys, you're biased if you're on the CB forums and then come here telling all how great this is. Believe me, we can tell. By spending $500 or $300 whatever your discount level is for this course, you can set up your own ecommerce solution with $475 or more to spare. This doesn't seem different, it just seems like it drips info to everyone. But are you really satisfied waiting 3 more weeks till you get to the setup module? What else could you have done in that three weeks time? Any critiques (from non affiliate or non forum groupies over on the CB boards) of the actual mechanics of the course now that a few are inside?

BubbasBits HyperActive Warrior War Room Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Lake of the Ozarks Posts: 104 Thanks: 1 Thanked 6 Times in 6 Posts Social Networking	Re: Niche Blueprint I have to say there is a lot of valuable information here and a lot of different perspectives. I would like to share a slightly different one, first I would like to say I have Comm BluePrint, along with Thousands of dollars in other programs and systems I have purchased. I also just purchased Niche Blueprint. I have to say out of the all the programs I have purchased Steve and Tim have great information and operate their business with integrity and honesty. I understand some of you think profit margins are smaller and there is more work involved than simply selling an information product and that is probably true, but it also has its advantages by being able to dominate a niche more easily since the sky is the limit on what you can sell. And everything imaginable is being sold on the internet, as a matter of fact where is the first place we go to find a hard to find item. Now from my perspective; I used to own a traditional brick and morter offline store with employees, overhead, maintenance, inventory, etc. I had a relatively small business and it cost 25,000 -30,000 per month to operate whether we sold any thing or not. If I would have had the opportunity to sell online with basically no overhead, no building, no inventory and could handle everything from a remote location that would have been unbelievable. That is now possible! To me running a business like this is a dream job with all kinds of free time. You must remember it wasn't very long ago when being a business owner meant 12 or 18 hour days 7 days a week. The internet has changed that.

Posts: 254 Thanks: 55 Thanked 30 Times in 11 Posts	Re: Niche Blueprint It's been my experience that when someone starts a sentence with "No offense, but", what they're about to say is indeed something offensive. I've found the same to be true when they say, "I'm not trying to be rude, but"... usually they're NOT trying...they just are. I've been accused of "skirting" a question. I made two incredibly long, incredibly detailed posts and answered many questions...I apologize if I missed a few. As to the answer to that question, "why don't they just build stores and make thousands every month instead of selling the system they use to do it? I don't know their reasons, you'd have to ask them...but I have to wonder, what's wrong with doing both? Isn't that what so many of the gurus teach? Learn how to do something well and you can charge people for that knowledge. Why does Mike Filsaime keep selling his systems? Or Michael Cheney or Alex Mandossian or Stephen Pierce or the guys at Stompernet or just about any other top level 'guru' you can name? They're all millionaires too...why don't they just work their system and make their money instead of selling people the system they used? I suspect part of the reason they do it is for the same reason MOST of the people on this forum are here...to make more money. And I can't blame anybody for wanting that.

Simply because I have been in the process of creating ecommerce sites and wanted to learn the strategy of people who are more savvy than I. I don't buy products very often and I actually had no idea who the guys behind this product were, but since some people I trust said these guys are legit I decided to jump in. Having watched the available modules, I have to say I'm quite impressed. The content is quite thorough and although I consider myself quite well versed in market research and analysis, it would nice to get a different perspective and some figures to work with when analyzing potential markets. I also like the fact that they are drip feeding the modules, and it's quite refreshing to see that they provide both written and audio-visual content. I've decided to start posting a progress report on my blog of what happens as I follow the program. We'll see if this is going to be as simple as they make it look. All the best, Steve

I can say I do trust it for one reason only. I dont know if this reason means anything to you but I am a subscriber on the Frank Kern Mailing list. I know you all heard of frank kern. one of the best internet marketers. He sent out an email about a week go promoting commission blueprint. Now i know that Frank Kern does not promote anything unless it is of value and that he had looked it over first. So as far as that goes I can tell you that I trust in commission blueprint and probably also niche blueprint.. Just thought to add this for all to know. Thank you..

I could do it myself, but if this product makes it easier and quicker, then it is worth a few hundred bucks. Customer interaction can be a real pain, but that's just part of doing business.

I prefer to move products much more than information. I've tried, but cannot get excited about moving digital info, etc. Thank god for those that do enjoy it. In 2000 and 2001 I made killer money moving a high priced product on the internet. Times change, and there was no longer a market for the product. I took a break from the internet stuff and focused on work. I've had decent success with adsense and affiliate programs. My best producing income is selling advertising on my sites....easy money. But, I miss selling physical products and am excited to start doing it again. I wish I would have had Niche Blueprint when I first started years ago. I would have saved a lot of money. The first 2 modules of NB are extremely detailed and very powerful; especially video number 2. If people will just follow the steps, without shortcuts, they should do very well. I hope to see 5 figure weeks again. I think NB is the tool that can help me get there. P.S. No, I'm not an affiliate; just one happy customer. :-) Adam

I have written several reviews and a case study on my blog listed below (Black Hat Blog). The main reason I decided to purchase Niche Blueprint was because of my success with Commission Blueprint. The content so far is very good, not earth shattering, but I think this was setup this way to keep the refund rate down since they were only selling to 700 or so people. I plan on using the lessons I learned with Adwords to use with the stores I create with Niche Blueprint and hopefully it will turn out well.

At this point in my IM business I really do not trust anyone anymore. However, and this is only after one week now all I can say from my jaded point of view and remember I am in the program, is so far so good. I'm not going to say that it is easy, because frankly how many niches are still available on the Internet although the program has led me to a couple. After being burned a couple of times what made the difference for me was the 60 day guarantee. I realized that the guarantee is only as good as the company behind it, but because of their track record, I took the chance. After one week I have not made money, but it is still early and these guys are doing what they said they would - so far.......

Would you mind detailing what kind of support you were looking for, and why you wanted a refund (not that a reason should be required - just wondering). Any insite into the program would be helpful too. Maybe it just didn't appeal to you, but might for me?

Hope it's all not a facade as they make big promises of assistance should you need it. Aside from that, I bought the course because I currently do quite well with ecommerce and I wanted to see what I might be missing. If you are an experienced marketer there is nothing new here so far, but if you are not making money online, this course is a fantastic way to begin. It's very clear and easy to follow even with no prior knowledge and it outlines very solid principles of making money online. You could use this knowledge in the course to start any kind of online business, not just an ecommerce store. The market research stuff is great, especially for a newbie, and the resources available are great if you want to start an online store. Even as a full time Internet Marketer, I am happy I spent the money and picked up the course. Nice little gems here and there. Had I found info like this when I was first starting out, it would have saved me a lot of time.

Most support tickets are answered within 24 hours (even on the W/E) and we have a forum where there are many active and knowledgeable members to answer questions or get advice. Sandy

Is it just a list of suppliers that want to do business with you? How are the wholesale prices compared to other wholesalers that offer dropshipping? The reason I ask is because if this part of the "program" is really really good, it pretty much justifies the expense. Now adays (is that a word?) most dropship lists are on a monthly subrcriber bases. If you had a great source, with more sources added regularly - it would be something you could grow with (only if the wholesale prices are truely "below wholesale".

But it'd better be given the price, I suppose. I'm just a noob to marketing, so I don't have too much to compare it to. Maybe I'll poke my nose in again when I get a couple more modules done (and a few bucks in my Paypal account.)

The dropship directory is in fact an ongoing creation. So yes, it's a great value. The software you use to install an unlimited number of stores is a great value. The extras that have been included at no charge, including additional video tutorials and several must haves for an ecommerce business...each one is a great value. And the knowledge you gain about creating a real, sustainable, profitable business...priceless. And to the poster who commented he hadn't made money but it's only been a week...the software module just came out yesterday, so no, no one's making money yet. As to support, all I can tell you is that we have some of the most dedicated support people I've ever seen and our goal is a response time of 24 hours or less. Based on the feedback we've gotten, most folks couldn't be more pleased. Have there been complaints? Sure. I don't care what you produce, you'll never please everyone. Have there been refund requests? You betcha. When people discover there's more to starting and running an online business than clicking a few buttons and waiting for money to start spewing forth...naturally you're gonna have some folks wanting their money back. Which has been done without question in every instance. And there are some people for whom an ecommerce store is not a good fit, and that's understandable. It's one of the reasons for an extended guarantee period. Am I biased in favor of Niche Blueprint? You better believe it...but I won't lie to you about it. I don't mind one bit coming in here and trying to clarify questions as much as I can without revealing the specifics of the course. That would be a disservice to all those who paid good money for the information. But I have to admit, I have a problem even feeling the need to defend or explain anything to those who didn't buy it, didn't read the sales page and really know nothing about it at all and yet feel qualified somehow to have an opinion on it. If you have legitimate questions or comments, doubts or concerns, my PM box is open and there's a link to send me email in my profile. I'd be delighted to address anything I can answer without, as mentioned earlier, giving details that would be unfair to Niche Blueprint customers. Honey Wesley

I'd highly recommend it when it's made available again. Lots of good information to help you set up a niche ecommerce site, and the guys behind it actually care about their customers succeeding which is very cool.
