Store Coach vs Dropship Lifestyle

I was wondering the same thing. Did all of you build your e-commerce store on your own? or did someone help you build? I found 2 programs that is offering the same thing and was wondering if any of you have use the program and what is your opinion. Thanks!

Having been through drop ship lifestyle AND Store coach now and when he was called nicheblueprint, I would go with the storecoach. I would study all the free information they have on their site and then get a membership when you're ready to take it to the next level.

I have not had the pleasure or otherwise of Dropship Lifestyle, so my comments are not a direct comparison.

But in saying that, I have learned allot from the Hermansen brothers and can validate all of their teachings. I started with them back when they were in partnership over at the BluePrint, and found followed them to their new venture within Store Coach.

They have always acted professional and their support is excellent, at all times. One of the biggest thing that acts in their favor is the fact that they have done the hard work themselves and can pass on all the correct ways of doing things, been there done that!

I have no affiliate or financial association with them, I'm just a happy customer of theirs.

I will say this though, the only thing that I did not agree with, was their choice of shopping cart platforms, that is BigCommerce. But they have spent the time in developing their own support tutorials, that are much better then BC has to offer!

Most may find BigCommerce will do all that they require I did not, so that would be my only con against them.

Cheers

I've been doing the dropshipping thing for a few years. Learning the hard way.

Feel free to send me a message and we can arrange a time to chat real time. I love chatting with other people that are interested in this type of business. Maybe a partnership can be made or just discuss how we can resolve common issues. I don't charge a penny, just want to network with others in the same field. I really don't think these courses give you all the answers. Like the saying goes: "Those who can't do, teach....."

Message me.

Importexport has a very good report on this, you should look him up. Don't have the URL unfortunately.

I know another Warrior that has a very good report on these things, but for the life of me, can't remember his name. Check the thread on Why I prefer eBay... and you will see him as the author of that thread.

I will reach out to both of them.

Thanks

Incidentally, this is covered very well at Drop Ship Lifestyle Review - Is it Worth the Hype?

There is even a direct comparison of Store Coach vs Drop Ship Lifestyle and mentions exactly what I said above.

This can inspire someone: http://www.warriorforum.com/ecommerc...rts-today.html

I was the first official Store Coach member, although I first met Dave Hermansen in another course he was affiliated with, handling tech support - Niche Blueprint. Dave took the time to coach me every step of the way when I was unemployed and desperate for some way to make money just after the 2008-2009 crash, when there were no jobs available. Although I had a very solid SEO background and am a writer, I didn't know anything about finding suppliers and dropshipping. Thanks to his tutelage, I was able to not only replace my "real job" income, but double it.

I have no idea whether Dropship Lifestyle is better or worse, since I never had a need to try the Dropship Lifestyle program after finding success with Store Coach. From what I have read, the main difference is that Store Coach focuses on thorough keyword research so that you KNOW that you have a shot at success in organic listings. Their emphasis is definitely on SEO and organic rankings because, not only are organic listings free, but they are the only way to continued growth.That said, there are several sections of the course that focus on other things like social marketing and paid advertising., which definitely helps bring in income while you work on improving your organic rankings. I have yet to read a decent explanation of what Dropship Lifestyle teaches other than the fact that they don't care about keyword research - something that leads me to believe that there is no actual growth of a website from year to year using their approach. Of course, I could be wrong, but I simply do not know how you climb the rankings without knowing what search phrases are the best low competition, high search ones. If you don't expand your organic rankings, I'm not sure how you increase sales after the first month or two.

My guess, though, is that both programs have something to offer but like all courses (or anything in life), 70-80% of people will fail because they simply are not committed enough or don't have (or make) the time that is necessary for success. Very few sites instantly start making money, which is what discourages so many people. It's a long distance race, not a sprint and if you cannot afford to invest $25-$50 a month for anywhere from 3-12 months with the realization that you might not make a profit for that period of time, I'm not sure eCommerce is for you. This is not push button to instant money stuff. It takes serious time, research and an unwavering desire to succeed, no matter what obstacles you encounter. Nothing is ultra complicated, but there are many components to building a successful website business. Far too many people simply give up too soon or just don't really put in the effort required to succeed. Others simply pick and choose what they feel like doing and skip crucial steps along the way. The ones who do it right, follow the steps and don't give up when there isn't instant money, are the ones who see success.

As a matter of absolute full disclosure, because I am a writer, I now frequently write course training for Store Coach as well as blog posts. In fact, although I am not officially a member of the Store Coach staff, I am now known there as "Coach Scott". Years after finding success in eCommerce, utilizing their methods as well as my own SEO background, I also head up their 1-on-1 Consulting Program and write many of their Expert Site Reviews. That combination has put me in a position where I can now instruct others how to be successful.

Just in case anyone is still pondering which one of these courses to choose, I thought I'd let you know that you can now sign up for the core Store Coach eCommerce training course for free. It doesn't include all of the really cool tools but the bulk of everything you need to know to set up a profitable eCommerce business is there. Free is always a good price in my book!

I learned a lot from this thread and this is my favorite quote from Scooter :
"The ones who do it right, follow the steps and don't give up when there isn't instant money, are the ones who see success. "

That makes real sense.
