Anyone Tried AmazoX or AmazoVelvet? Reviews?
Hi everybody,
I came across a lot of promotion for a product called AmazoX by Dan Hollings.
The promo videos were very professionally done and this guy Dan is quite the smooth talker.
I could not find a single review of this product that wasn't an advertorial.
At $17, I figured "why not?" for what was being described in the promo materials.
The information was okay, but nothing really groundbreaking; and the missing details from the generalization in the videos really took away from the product I thought.
Sure enough, towards the end of each video, you start hearing this really pop-music type jingle start up, along with some graphics; The concern started gnawing at the back of my head that I was officially in a sales funnel. Why this production value just to get some Amazon strategy to me?
It consists of six brief and very general videos, after which I learned that you have to pay $47 just to be able to see the rest of the videos!
The audience is talked as if it's either a. Uneducated idiots, or b. fifth-graders. Here's an example.
In one of the first few videos, the presenter tells you of this amazing set up that you can get in on where somebody is going to come to you and say, "well for this I know you're going to need some, money, so here, I'll give you this big ol' bucket of money to get you started, and I'll also promote the product for you, and I'll take all the risk!" (meanwhile you're seeing images like cartoon drawings of buckets of money)
I was invited to watch the replay of a "training webinar" that really just turned out to be about an hour and a half pitch fest for the upgraded, premium version of the product, AmazoVelvet. At about $1,000
It runs through 12 pretty common sense steps to being a consultant for an Amazon seller who isn't experiencing that much success, and then a presenter says "and then you can take a bonus step! Buy something! Buy a new car, a mansion, a private island."
Then for nearly the second hour of the video, The presenters explain to you how "you can't do this on your own" and then begin to push this premium product that supposedly "does it all for you"
Guys, I'm going to need some others to weigh in on this, some of the training and offerings in the more advanced and premium products may well be worth it, but I've got to say this kind of marketing really puts me off.
It's claimed that this one guy Is making over $400,000 a month (!!!) just by consulting with sellers on Amazon, so what is he doing hustling with pitch seminars and false offer deadlines and putting out all these products like "premium coaching" and all of these high priced products to teach people how to make money on Amazon if he's doing that well?
In this sales, ahem, "training" webinar, these guys are working hard!
The seminar is actually pretty insulting too, in how one of the presenters is asked "can you think of any reason why spmeone couldn't succeed with this program?" And the other presenters says "ummmm, uhhhh, I'm thinking."
I'll tell you, it's not looking good for me, and now that my confidence has been thoroughly shattered, I was hoping for maybe some independent views on this from others who may have seen a little more of the AmazoX system or AmazoVelvet, and let me know if this stuff is actually worth it.
So has anybody taken the dive yet? What do you think? Should alarm bells be going off?
