Amazon Freedom Course with Dan Vas – Unbiased Review

December 18, 2018 by Shiv Aiyar

Back in 2017, I was able to have some success in the online physical products selling business thanks to Dan Vas, with his Amazon FBA Business course that he has.

Before this, though, there was a different coaching program that helped me learn to build a local lead generation side-hustle and, as of 2015, I literally murdered my job (meaning, I walked away from it). 

The lead gen business is really simple:

  1. Paste a digital billboard at the top of Google
  2. Generate consumer leads – or calls – for the local business
  3. Pass these customers off to the business owner
  4. Collect a check for making the business owner rich
  5. REPEAT! 🙂

Currently at $50,000 per month in net profit, local lead generation is the majority of my income.

Unlike lead gen, Amazon FBA is quite the different beast in the entrepreneurial space, so let’s get into how this is different from local lead generation. 

You’ll also get a good look as to why someone jumping into working from home gigs would fare better to invest in Dan Vas courses these days.

Amazon Freedom: The Amazon FBA Course People Enjoy

There’s very little that is left to be desired in Dan Vas’ Amazon Business Course.  Check this out…

  • Find a product within key metrics
  • Connect with a supplier and order samples (vet them)
  • Acquire a bulk shipment
  • Establish branding (logo design, etc.)
  • List the product online
  • Boost the Amazon Listing using paid traffic(like Facebook Ads) and follow-up with visitors/customers via email
  • Continue multiple paid traffic sources to get more visitors and buyers
  • Get stark-raving reviews to raise your product listing so you can get more buyers with less ad spend

Vas also hooks you up with a private Facebook group to network and get more information once you’re a student of his program.  The step-by-step, actionable training with follow-along videos ensures there are zero games, upsells, or gimmicks – you just get the course and grind entrepreneurial style!

The Challenges of the Amazon FBA Lifestyle

You know what they say in the Amazon FBA business industry? 

4th product launch is a charm!  No joke, that’s what it took for me!  Here’s why:

  • Depending on who you are actually partnered with as your supplier, the shipping times (for your samples, for your bulk order, or anything else) can take ridiculous amounts of time… Months even.
  • With no guarantee of success, your investment of both time and financing lead to an unanticipated dead-end if your first selection isn’t a hit!  You might be able to get away with testing out the marketplace with the whole dropshipping model in a Shopify store you could build (including web hosting, domain names, connecting the two, and then building the store with all that coding you need to figure out – or hire someone else to do it for you), but that’s not the case with the Amazon FBA gig.
  • In addition to getting some attention, visitors, and maybe even buyers (eventually) to your product listing on Amazon, the ads you buy – in Pay-Per-Click fashion – can really begin to dig into your pockets if you’re not in profit mode right away.
  • Those negative reviews, man – ‘nuff said.
  • Competition is fierce: if they undercut your price, or bring in a comparable product that severely undercuts your price, you might as well just tie up the loose ends, toss your project overboard, and start over.

Considering that Amazon is an E-Commerce store, it’s one of the most visited websites next to Google and Facebook and it gets tons of action on there with all the products being sold to buyers by sellers…

Look, everyday folks like you and I would be very appreciative of there being an easy way to start a home-based business, especially in the physical products line of business.

However, at the end of the day, you’re completely vulnerable to everything that Amazon says you’re able to do – including everything they’re not allowing you to do – as to “how” you can sell your physical product and turn a profit.

You’ve got multiple challengers for your targeted buyer’s attention surrounding your product listing.  Assuming you’re actually in a prime placement for a visitor to see you(without paying for the visitor, of course), you still have:

-the “customers who viewed this also viewed” section,
-the Sponsored (or paid for) advertisement of a similar or completely different product which will distract your buyer, and…
-the recommendations that Amazon makes to your visitor that other “Customers who bought this item also bought”!

You’ll be lucky if your listed physical product cuts through all the noise to get its fair shake in the eyes of the one person who matters in this equation: the person with your money in-hand – the Buyer.

We can all agree how wonderful this layout is because it allows visitors to compare products, including price, description, whether or not being a prime member is benefit to the buyer, and when we use it as consumers, it’s probably one of the more helpful features.

What does this have to do with Competition? 

I’m sure glad you asked… let me tell ya…

Think back to the last time you had arrived at a product website page and ended up buying something that was slightly different – maybe even from a different brand altogether – because of price, the volume or nature of reviews, or other reasons (up to and/or including no reason at all)…

Well, that’s what the prospective buyer of your product is doing, too!

As the Amazon FBA Business game of sellers continues to expand, the staggering volume of competition mandates that you get to designing your cool new product, source an epic product from another seller with awesome reviews, or find another way to promote a sustainable business here.

From your business partners in this space to the other sellers – also known as your competition – you’re pretty much limited on not only the kind/type of physical product you get to sell, but also the price at which you end up getting to promote your product(s) at. 

At the end of the day, your profit margins are going to be minimal – if existent – depending on what you’ve ended up selecting as your product to market on Amazon.

There’s a Ton of Amazon FBA Coaching Programs – How Come?!

One of the biggest hiccups in the Amazon FBA Business – or E-commerce in general – is how the ever-increasing competition leads to sending the pricing of products to the ground, inherently also cutting profit margins for anyone wanting to get into this space.

Further, the length of time to actually get a physical product both listed and launched is tremendously taxing. The constant computer-based communication – to include the sitting around and waiting for replies – from suppliers and/or dropshippers can literally take months to finalize your product and marketing strategy.  Certainly, six figures are possible, but unless your first selection is a slam dunk, there’s little to celebrate in terms of profits.

Some experts in the Amazon FBA Business have garnered a team who launches multiple products at one time, knowing that not every physical product is going to land her business into a massive profit margin. 

For those just starting, however, the inventory needs and promoting costs (such as Pay-Per-Click online advertising) can really cut into the pockets of someone who isn’t quite into profit mode yet.

These coaches are sitting comfortably – creating their coaching course for you to learn from – because it’s a lot less overhead to maintain a coaching business than it is a physical products business. 

The coaching space can often have less competition for your product, the margins are nearly 100% in gross and net profits, and the coach only has to hand over a password and username to the information – no shipping required!

As the barrier of entry for entering the Amazon FBA Business through a coaching course is significantly low, the marketplace gets overwhelmingly saturated as wannabe entrepreneurs enter in with the ambition and vision of hitting it big! 

Often times, the counterpart is true and the marketplace is filled with similar people competing for the same positions with similar types of products in the Amazon rankings, and on and on and on…

If it were easy to get started, everyone would do it.  It sounds easy to list a physical product, so naturally, everyone is doing it; so yeah, this is a little overrated of a business for my personal tastes.

What’s Better – Amazon FBA or Local Lead Generation?

From this notorious coaching program in local lead generation, I was able to quit my job in 2015 and endeavor into the mythical world of working from a laptop. 

And it’s real!  I learned how to paste websites to the top of local search rankings, drive buyers to local small businesses, and garner a sliver to deliver those new clients over to them. 

I was able to rank a web property into a space like you see above (you may have seen something like it before), and it continues to pay me $750 every month, and I’ve only dealt with it once. 

PASSIVE INCOME is why I like this business model, even though the barrier to entry is high. 

The reality of the matter is that most marketers in the local space, especially so-called “SEO Experts” truly have no idea what they’re doing…

That means the barrier to entry in the local lead generation space is high, as you need some baller skills to yield results that can pay you like this.

Jeff Olson, former Chief Marketing Officer of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. once said, “You can determine the size of your paycheck by the size of the problems that you’re able to solve.” 

If you can build a business around your high-income skill, you could have a very lucrative future in-store for you. However, you need to have a lucrative, high-income skill to start with…or go out and learn it.

Another high income skilled expert that I’m going to reference has been a successful businessman and high ticket training coach for a number of years now.  In fact, he was one of my inspirations for wanting to turn from a full-time career to making profits on the internet. 

An accomplished entrepreneur who speaks from the heart, take a few moments out of your day to listen to this industry renown mogul as he details, defines, and identifies with the treasure of developing a high-income skill…

Watch this quick video:

Yo, the major difference from Amazon FBA and local lead gen is that when you decide to own these web properties that you intend to leverage for marketing and revenue purposes — and with how easy it is to throw together one of these wealth generating websites —

You can succeed completely independent of some Amazon rules telling you what you can and can’t do to turn a profit. You can shift gears into Local Lead Generation, become your very own boss, and negotiate your monthly retainer with the small business owners you are literally feeding customers to on Auto Pilot!

I find too many variables involved with the Amazon FBA model; you’re selecting a product, waiting for months for negotiation/samples/figuring things out, ensuring you’re not violating rules and agreements, and hoping that you’ve landed on something that enough people will seek out and buy, that doesn’t have crippling competition or crippling profit margins.

Unlike the notion of a high-income skill, there’s really no way for me to develop a personal skill to become better than my competition; it’s all about whether I have enough money to buy more traffic to my listing long enough to become the top performer with a physical product listing –

Until my luck with that listing has run out and it’s time to move on to a new product…

Which means I have to start all over with the product selection and the whole 4-5 month process of getting a new product listing in place with a partner product provider.

Do you honestly expect to waltz into a well-established website likeAmazon and hope to have a secret edge that veterans in the process of doing exactly what you’re hoping to hit it big with probably hasn’t already found? 

It’s not my cup of tea. 

If I can’t dominate it, I don’t want to be in business for it. 

If you want a stable financial future as an entrepreneur, then strengthening a personal skill your competitors simply haven’t discovered or developed themselves can secure your financial comfort for years to come. 

You can do more with your skills that others only wish they could, and that strategic advantage is what you can bring to the marketplace which will make you a rare and valuable commodity.

Conclusion

At only $497, Dan Vas has everything you need to launch your very own Amazon FBA business; and his program is just one of many coaching courses out there.

Just as was discussed earlier in this article, more coaches marketing to more new entrepreneurs means more competition in the marketplace, especially in the Amazon FBA Business model.  The competition rises, the profit margins drop, and the volume of work required to turn a profit continues to skyrocket. 

Someone who makes YouTube videos and markets their coaching program can be successful simply because not many people do this kind of activity every single day.  They neither have the time or inclination to do this, or they don’t know how to create the video content and market to a desired audience strategically. 

Dan Vas must then be successful because he’s willing to tackle the challenges that others simply don’t want to, don’t know how to and don’t want to know how to, or aren’t willing to.

In essence, being willing to do – and actually doing – what most aren’t willing to do, THAT is what can turn someone into a massive success story.

Local Lead Generation is no different; you’ve gotta have patience to learn the skill of exactly how to paste a money-generating billboard to the top of Google search results, and then actually implement this skillset!  It’s hard to believe that a cookie-cutter course can be the secret to success if countless other people are also trying to put up the exact same Facebook Ad to produce the same desired result at or around the exact same time.

Coaching may not be for everyone though, and that’s okay.

Whatever you decide to have as your high-income skill, be willing to develop your skill and separate yourself from the pack; then you won’t have any competition when you’re actually dominating!

Why I Like Local Lead Generation Business Better in 2019

Local Lead Generation is awesome like this because there are more tactics to diversify not only your portfolio of the desired accomplishments, but how you get those results is also as exciting as it is an unrestricted territory = NO AMAZON TELLING YOU WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT DO TO GET BUYERS!

  • No parent company
  • No rules and regulations agreements
  • No risk of losing your investment if you step outside of said rules (since there are none in local lead generation 🙂 )
  • No arduous product listings
  • No bulk orders
  • No struggling to collect reviews
  • No adverse reactions by unhappy customers leaving negative reviews that can hurt your future profit margins

When you have the skills to generate leads with free, organic traffic(meaning NO Pay-Per-Click required), your dreams of a passive income just took a sharp turn from the imagination toward becoming a possibility!

I’m in full control of my virtual real estate that I can improve upon to deliver unparalleled value to the marketplace with – and no one else is really competing with me on what I can truly deliver.

At $50,000.00 per month in passive income – mostly all profit – from just consistently generating leads online, I have been able to exponentially increase my income over the past 3 years.

It’s wonderful having a meeting with a business owner and reminding them that “I’m the only one in your marketplace that can actually deliver this result for you, and this result can go to you or your competition – what’ll it be?”

Meanwhile, the Most Common Amazon FBA Complaints I’ve heard are:

  • High Fees by Amazon
  • Dealing with foreign suppliers, and poor quality products
  • The constant hassle & ongoing work required when dealing with physical products (inventory, supplier, tying up cash flow, low profit margins)
  • -dealing with negative reviews and how that affects your success drastically
  • Many issues are outside your control (dealing with customs, incompetent suppliers)
  • Amazon can ban accounts, causing your business to be taken from you without your control
  • It is getting saturated fast, unlike local lead generation (since we can go into so many different cities & niches)
  • Other sellers can come in and duplicate your success (and there’s nothing you can do about it)
  • It can take up to 5 months before your product listing can go live (finding supplier, sourcing product, etc)

Why I Adore the Lead Generation Business in 2019:

  • more scalable than Amazon FBA because you’re not dealing with physical products so there’s hardly any ongoing work required to maintain our lead gen income
  • with a surreal amount of industries to choose from and cities to help, the competition is virtually nonexistent
  • With free, organic traffic coming to the websites we rank, passive income is almost certain
  • Local, Small business owners need help to be the top competitor and dominate their marketplace, and they simply could benefit from online marketing help
  • With no costs for good sold attached to the lead gen industry (like physical products), we have the BIGGEST PROFIT MARGINS to boot.

Instead of keeping this to myself though, there are far too many opportunities for me to get to than what I can actually handle in the marketplace. 

So, instead of being stingy and trying to take all of the business for myself, I’m sharing what I’ve been able to amass a huge, life-changing income and time freedom lifestyle shift with –and that’s how this blog came to be. 

In fact, I’m showing others the exact, step-by-step local lead generation methods that I’ve used to be where I am today. See it for yourself by CLICKING HERE.

Amazing Selling Machine – Scam or Actual Home Business?

December 18, 2018 by Shiv Aiyar

So you’ve heard about the Amazing Selling Machine program that educates its students on building their own Amazon-based physical products business…

You know, the Amazon FBA course with Jason Katzenback and Matt Clark who were the creators of it.

Now, I was doing rather well for myself when I had heard about this at an online marketing conference.  In fact, my local lead gen business helped me to rake in $50k per month on Auto Pilot just by leveraging FREE Organic Web Traffic to get business owners to pay me like clockwork!  

Still, I found it important to invest in myself and develop new ideas, new connections, and even new revenue streams…

So I met this guy there who actually worked up his own Amazon business with having marketed only kitchen glassware from scratch to six figures. 

After meeting him and hearing him speak highly of this course (of all the ones he had explored, this was his favorite), I figured that this could have something of value to it.

So I gave Amazing Selling Machine a shot and explore building a physical products revenue stream.

Before sharing with you whether this is a wise venture, check out why others are entering the world of entrepreneurship…

Is Selling on Amazon a Good Business Model?

If you’ve heard anything in the news lately, there’s no doubt you’d have heard about the tremendous growth that Amazon has experienced recently…

Amazon is pioneering the extravagance of their e-commerce stores online through…

-Establishing Local Stores (that you can even go and physically pick up your package at)

-Drone Shipping (they fly the package over to your neck of the woods)

-Keeping It Traditional (they’ve now got their own shipping company to get your package mailed)

With all of the amazing things that Amazon has going on for themselves, becoming a business person who is associated with such a rising company means high-credibility and the opportunity to hop on-board with a rising trend… which could mean MASSIVE $$$!

What you get out of the Amazing Selling Machine Course

Of course, any successful entrepreneurial endeavor requires:

  • A Product or Service
  • A way to market to buyers
  • Collecting Money for the product/service
  • Providing the requested service or product to the buyer
  • EXCELLENT customer service in the process.

In the space of marketing physical products, it takes a little more focus and dedication than what the aforementioned might make it out to be…

Great product order fulfillment and continued, Superior customer service skills are paramount!

Check out just a few of the things you’d need in your Amazon FBA style of a business:

  • Evaluating product competition through personally invested research (time and effort)
  • Requesting samples
  • Waiting for samples to arrive
  • Accepting that the product is getting outsourced
  • Testing out the product personally
  • Designing any sort of packaging and logos
  • Figuring out how to submit bulk orders
  • Making liaison with the Amazon FBA center
  • Receiving, and responding, to negative reviews
  • Paying “frequent attention” to Amazon metrics in your own business account
  • Figuring out how to build out a web site
  • Now you’re actually in business – what if you wanted to sell it?  What then?  What now?

Basically, this requires time, patience, tons of effort, and careful selection of products with professional suppliers that you’d need to partner with (and, ultimately, rely on). 

When asked what the most challenging part of this business might be, I said the partnership. 

Basically, your success in the hands of another person – the supplier. 

Seriously, what if they delay shipping, run out of stock and don’t tell you, or some other unforeseen inconvenience? 

Before that even, finding a good product or industry to step into is another issue.

With countless products to choose from, even the arduous task of requesting product samples required

-shipping time
-making time to check out the product
-evaluate it personally; ya know, see if I could get behind it
-consider whether someone was going to ask for a refund if they didn’t like what they received (after buying directly from me)

Beyond all of that, there’s still no verifying if your endeavor is about to become a profitable one until you make it… or don’t make it, as the case just might be.

That’s why, with the local lead generation business model, you don’t have to worry about physical products and the rules of Amazon! You can own your own, simple websites, rank them until they’re stuck at the top of Google…

From there, you get to sit back, relax, and let the website do the heavy lifting for you: siphoning Free Organic acquired buyers from Search Engines and get paid residually to do nothing more than automatically send said customers (repeat buyers and new ones) over to the small business owners to close!

Back to the Amazing Selling Machine discussion…

What else is piled on top of (and adding to) the stress of selling physical products – or anything for that matter – it all is the anomaly of Amazon’s product ranking system; and if you’re selling on Amazon, you’re subject to it just like everyone else in the ball game…

You still need to give enough concerted effort to have your product listing (yes, you have to take the time to get it listed first) to a ripe and ready position so it is seen, and evaluated, by actual buyers.

Naturally, Amazing Selling Machine provides plenty of do’s and don’ts, with tons of wisdom gems to save you from the pitfalls of treacherous AmazonFBA mistakes.

How does my Amazon product listing Actually Climb the Amazon search results?

Back in the day, before Amazon wised up and cracked down on their marketplace, anyone could just climb the listings through fake views and review submissions about your product listing.

NOW… the Amazing Selling Machine students might have a more difficult time achieving those coveted first-week student success stories, since those old-school tips and tricks don’t really apply anymore.

At this point, it’s really all about the volume of visitors and buyers you’re achieving now.

As a result, your first go-around needs to be spot on, from product selection or design to logo, packaging, a honed in listing, and more.

If you’ve ever heard of Google AdsTM (formerly, GoogleAdWordsTM), one recommendation that could be beneficial is to run a Google search advertisement (from the pay-per-click platform), and drive more visitors to your actual listing.

With more and more entrepreneurial players in the game than only a few years ago, the competition is fierce in the Amazon FBA gig. 

Amazon FBA sellers recognize that the sales cycle (just to land a buyer) takes longer than before, as does launching a product that could be very popular and getting those precious, stark-raving reviews from those real buyers. 

The updates on the platform have simply overcomplicated this method of business, thus making little value or interest in these so-called Amazon FBA courses that once helped people to start a business from home. 

However, Amazing Selling Machine is one of the few training courses, if any, to provide annual updates to their program to ensure that their students are getting the most current instructions on how to make the best of their Amazon FBA business venture.

My Opinion of the Amazon FBA Business Venture

Here’s the down and dirty between selling on Amazon and different online businesses in 2019:

The Good

  • Amazon is gaining positive traction and is here to stay
  • With Amazon FBA, you don’t need a stock of inventory at your home. 
  • Heck, you don’t even need a place to do business, except a place to go that has a laptop, internet and some comfortable space with electricity
  • You could have an entrepreneurial exit and sell the business you build from nothing.
  • Other than actual orders and the costs of those orders, there’s not really much else in the way of expenses.

The “Wiggle Room to Improve”

  • There’s not much in the way of guaranteeing success. 
  • Some products won’t be a hit, and you’ve gotta be okay with making the hard decisions to let a project go sometimes.
  • Less control, as you are partnered with business entities that actually have processes and are subjected to natural disasters and unusual circumstances – all of which influence how your customers view“you”.
  • Unlike a dental practice or law office, the negative reviews on you actually make it harder for you to market in the future(successfully).

Even with the counterpart of Amazon – Shopify stores – you still need to rely on paying for advertising, and those pay-per-click ads actually working in your favor, whether on Google Ads or Facebook Ads.  Without them, you can kiss those traffic and sales goodbye.

Back to Amazon, you could pick a slam dunk on your very first pick, that ends up being a hot product, pastes you at the top of Amazon search results, and you get tons of sales – for years to come – without the required paid advertising that you had to start with for that product.

Organic Traffic is Sweet!!!

If it were up to me to do it all over again, I’d stick with Amazon FBA instead of having to rely on Facebook Ads connected to one’s Shopify stores.

Rest assured, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with engaging in both ventures; just find a great product and go-to-town!

Conclusion

I was in a different spot than most when I started with Amazing Selling Machine. 

And when you have a successful local lead generation business that is spitting off nearly 100% of your revenue straight into your pocket — Yeah, SICK profit margins here — I’ll bet you’d be just as comfortable branching out and trying another business model.  

Of course, while any business venture could work out for you if you were to invest some personal work and time (and funding) into it, entrepreneurship requires the skillful art of carefully evaluating miscalculations.

Something like this allows a business owner appropriately adjust their focus toward what they’re missing in their sales, marketing, services, etc., and to figure out how to make all spokes on the business components metaphorical wheel interlink and (ultimately) end up working for you as an asset instead of a liability. 

That’s exactly what I did with my SEO business online, and which is why I had plenty of marketing funds to be able to start driving internet paid traffic (what is called PPC, or Pay-Per-Click) to my Amazon FBA business and the specific, physical products I was working with.

My physical products business was kicking back a profit of $4,500.00+ per year, which wasn’t that bad of a start! 

I’d have to say that it could continue to work out for me, and if selling physical products is an exciting sounding idea then you may benefit from investing in the Amazing Selling Machine.

Honestly, the repetitive activity of the Amazon FBA Business venture was just not my style, so I chose to focus the majority of my efforts back on the business I fell in love with, and that’s the lifestyle that comes with an SEO business.

Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier with the local lead gen model.  Check this out…

You paste a website that you threw together at the top of Google search results, like a set it and forget it kind of thing.  Then, the website can do the heavy lifting for you, thereby spiting out predictable cash for you month after month, year after year, for as long as the business owner is buying the highly targeted, Free Organic Traffic — meaning, buyers — off of you.

…and who doesn’t want more customers, am I right???

For most business owners, especially those wanting more time freedom, setting and forgetting processes may be a little bit of a stretch, but it’s definitely an ideal situation so they can keep the profits of the company high while working less. 

The same is true for any online venture. Just like with Amazon FBA, you still have to keep watch over your business from end to end in the local lead generation market; that’s just good business management though!

Unfortunately, I always hear the common complaint that it just takes way too long to generate net profits from Amazon FBA.  From scrapping projects to starting over with no profit or results to show for it… yeah, it can be taxing!

This just shows that any newcomer can have trouble starting an AmazonFBA business; even the veterans of the program are struggling, so there’s a lesson for all of us.  It’s not easy.

From multiple product failures in the Amazon FBA gig (at no fault to the Amazing Selling Machine program), the local lead generation business is the idea method to killing your job and living the laptop lifestyle of working from home.

This is why I like Lead Generation over Amazon FBA in 2019

Think about it…

  • More opportunities
  • Less Competition
  • More Control
  • Success Rate is THRU THE ROOF!
  • Low Start-Up Costs in each project
  • Begin multiple projects at the same time
  • Rapid Results!!!

I don’t see anything bad, per se, about the Amazon FBA business.  It could work for you or it could be a bust; welcome to the wonderful world of owning a business, ya know? 

Your Amazing Selling Machine, however, very well could be enjoyable for someone who likes to work with physical projects, addressing the needs of people who depend on someone like you to deliver what they ordered on a discount, and are willing to routinely manage global business connections to foster positive relationships should any disaster hit your business model.

I still have to lean toward local lead generation since multiple projects can be kicked off immediately. 

Additionally, sales can be abundant, recurring, and predictable in short-order from starting this business venture. 

You also get to feel rewarded — which not many other business models can lead someone toward.  While some industries are experiencing burn out, you get to make a living while making a difference. 

Basically, you’ll be helping real business owners in the local marketplace to generate more revenue by helping more people; it’s an enormous thrill and can scale infinitely — and quickly, if you so choose!

Lead gen has made the most profits for me thus far, and I am comfortable with how simple this business model really is!

Local lead generation was my first business venture, and the massive profits from this type of operation was how I was able to kill my job –literally QUIT MY FULL-TIME JOB – and land my first six figures of profit online… which allowed me to begin exploring other business ventures on the side.

If you want to focus on one project – one product – at any given time and hope that it is a home run, then Amazing Selling Machine might just be a great fit for ya.  With Jason and Matt as your guiding beacons in the Amazon FBA business, you can’t go wrong.

If you’d like to learn how you can help local business owners by starting a local lead generation business, through pasting billboards at the top of Google, then click here to be introduced to the coaching program that ushered me into the laptop lifestyle just a few short years ago.

Email Income Experts by Jason Capital – Unbiased Review

December 18, 2018 by Shiv Aiyar

If you’re like me, then you’re probably reading a blog post like this because you’re looking for a way to make some additional income, part-time, from home, without the stresses of getting a second job. 

A side hustle, if you will – something you can do in your spare time…

I know, I was there not too long ago. Remembering back to the days when I was trolling the internet and searching for something — just like you — that could give me the edge to turn a profit and just make some things a little easier.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t entirely certain of what I was looking for.  All I knew was that I wanted a change, I needed more money, and I wanted more time to enjoy that more money after my life stabilized from the influx of business profits after launching an online business — and making it successful.

You know what I‘m talking about, the one business model that everyone is talking about — the laptop luxury lifestyle, where you can work from anywhere in the world if you only have a laptop and internet access.  

Then I stumbled upon the Jason Capital Course – Email Income Experts! 

Like many coaching programs, this one teaches you how to begin taking on clients and serving them like a professional.  After all…

The fortune is in the follow-up! Yeah, we’ve all heard that phrase before, but it’s actually true. 

In fact, I tried this course only after I had a foundation of reliable income through capturing FREE ORGANIC Google Traffic and sending buyers to business owners for a sliver to deliver.  It’s called Local Lead Gen and you can check it out by CLICKING HERE.

And in the digital marketing era, what better way to follow up with someone than where they’re already looking on a daily basis: their email. 

Now, you’re probably thinking exactly what I had thought when I first took at this program — who would want to turn into that guy that’s sending all those spammy emails and end up being the hated guy (or gal) in all the internet world.

OR…

I’m no one, and no one is gonna want to talk to me, interact with me, or buy my stuff when I’m doing the mass email thing that does nothing more than clutter up emails instead of help others.

Look, if you’re serious about stepping up your game and turning a profit online, it’s all about staying in direct contact with the leads you have (you know, the real people you’re reaching out to that can potentially buy what you’re pitching). 

On top of that, you get to build your lists of genuinely interested people — who have money to spend and are interested in following your engaging emails — into more leads, and then moving those people from responding to emails to entering your sales pipeline.

From there, it’s a matter of shifting them from simply someone you email regularly to a conversion — the slang term for making them into a paying customer. 

This guy Jason might just have a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to dialing in the methods of email marketing.  Let’s have a look at what else Mr. Jason Capital has to offer us in 2019 with his Email Income Experts coaching course.

A Little About Jason Capital

Think about anyone you might know that can boast of having arrived at the coveted title of millionaire by the age of 24.  After being recognized by the President of the United States (President Barrack Obama, specifically)…

His digital marketing coaching success didn’t end there. 

Jason’s best-selling book and audiobook also gave way to consulting forFortune 500s, and even operating at higher status among industry CEOs as he has even coached United States Marines and professional athletes.

Feel free to look him up on places like Wikipedia, whatnetworth, and other places that collaborate with other data aggregators to learn more aboutCapital’s real name, net worth, biography, etc.

Quick Overview on Email Income Experts

At only 7 weeks’ worth of content, to start, this complete email marketing system coaching program revolutionized how I viewed email marketing as a whole.  More than just an asset, I now viewed email as an asset that could build sales in and of itself.

Of course, you’ll have to put in some quality work time and make your labors worth the reward you want, but you won’t be looking anywhere else once you discover the insight within Jason Capital’s course on email marketing. 

Here’s a quick snapshot of some hot strategies you can discover as a student of Email Income Experts:

  • How to establish solid clients – and prospective clientele – into email lists
  • Inspiring lukewarm sales leads to become your next, burning hot prospective buyers
  • Learn to leverage email marketing to generate insane conversions
  • Earn a credential as a Certified Email Expert
  • …and how you can accomplish all of this without being a proclaimed marketing guru or writer!!!

Picture this: you send emails and end up making profits through sending more emails.  Of course, not everyone that comes to this coaching program is an expert in doing exactly that; and Jason gets that!  He really does…

That’s why he’s made this coaching program, so anyone can get started and developed their email game into an email marketing empire!  Provided you’re willing to work hard for what you want, this course is virtually easy to understand.

Step-by-step, the Email Income Experts training program sinks your teeth into subject lines, calling your readership to action, and everything else direct response-related. 

You’ll learn where to hunt for your ideal audience, the ones ready to buy, so your emails can do the heavy lifting and land the sales on your behalf.

Once you’ve got all that down, and learn how to design your schedule of email marketing (to the “T”), you’ll never waste any more time or cash on“penny accounts,” because – like me – you can actually learn which clients are more valuable and worth your time.

From the comfort of your home office, you can group clients together in such a way that these high-priced, built email marketing strategies can turn your labors into cash through converting your lists into paying customers…

All with just the push of a button.

Or, you can try your hand at a proven business model that has helped me to garner over $50,000 every month in a side-hustle manner; no second job, just results.  It’s called Local Lead Generation and you can learn how to do it too with the same coaches that taught me.

What I think of Email Income Experts by Jason Capital

This guy is the real deal of coaches; I was blown away when he responded to my questions personally.

After all, the best coaches and teachers refuse to allow their students to linger with questions.  And that’s exactly where the Email Income Expert coach comes in – he helps you to see how to use results of your first campaign and leverage them to gain increased momentum in turning profits! 

Well, sure, first you need to land some success.  Jason personally helps you through your first email campaigns, too.  From coaching sessions and Question and Answer times to actually connecting with students individually, he invests time where it matters most – on helping students of his coaching program to succeed.

We’re all concerned about the rumors that occur with starting another program after one has failed; weary of just buying bits of information that really do us no good, and so we scourge the internet fiercely yearning for the next “secret sauce” that will lead us to the promised land.

Really, there’s no secret sauce (per se) that can get you to where you want to go outside of diligent labor and hard work. 

With the right coaching, though, you can definitely have your motivation and energy directed to the promised land and you can begin making progress that you’ll earn on your own, but not by yourself.

That’s why we have a coach like Jason Capital – he developed Email IncomeExperts so you, too, can become an expert while also allowing you to discover a way to have more than just a fat bank account.

Capital starting coaching because he personally needed a coach.  That probably sounds counterintuitive, but after a little bit of success, he was able to figure out the ins and outs of email marketing and package a program to share what he has discovered about these massively profitable strategies. 

If you’re looking to make some immediate, fast cash, in the easiest way, this may be just the thing for you. In addition to the money, though, you’ll have a renewed sense of personal confidence that you can print money when you see fit; and all it takes is some effort in following the system and clicking buttons.

Thinking of getting a new, profitable skill in 2019?  While you’re at it, get a certification in the digital marketing world as an expert email marketer while you appreciate what you’ve just stumbled upon… a new, potential avenue toward a prosperous career opportunity!

Why I Like Lead Generation over Email Marketing in 2019

Some people may appreciate this course, so I am happy to lend a helping hand in sharing my experience with the program. It teaches a skill, carries mentoring, and allows for someone to break out of the routine of corporate America so they can achieve great things, both professionally and personally.

One thing that is highly needed in order to be successful in a field like this is to develop one’s unique contribution to the marketplace; what I like to call your high-income skills. Sure, it could be as simple as sending emails, generating web properties(like websites, landing pages, etc.) or delivering leads to local service providers…

Whatever excites you, you’ll need to invest your time and resources to work at it and BE GREAT at your high-income skill(s).  It’s what can give you the unique experience of financial confidence in the global economy we live in during 2019. 

My high-income skill is basically sending referrals to local small business owners; it’s called Local Lead Generation.  In my honest opinion, this online business model is the perfect option for a home-based business in 2019…

With the prospect of raking in a predictable, passive 6-7 figure annual salary, Lead Generation makes use of FREE TRAFFIC to turn those profits online that you’ve heard so much about.

Your opportunity to collect an unlimited, passive stream of income through the internet starts by simply having a bunch of local lead gen sites posted across the internet like digital billboards, siphoning leads from the marketplace for you to do with what you wish…

It’s a stable income that can continue to grow as you learn new strategies and expand on your already well-established business – which can happen in a relatively short time.

In fact… here’s one of my very first lead gen sites to illustrate how real this gets.  To this day, it’s still earning $750 per month – cold, hard cash in my pocket…

This is, by far, the best investment in a business model you can make…

AND we’re teaching others to do the same here.

Why would we do that, though?

Why I am Sharing What Has Made Me $50,000.00 in Monthly Income Online?

 It’s all quite simple, really.  Here’s a brief list of why I want to share with you how this is going down…

  • You can make a living while making a difference; feeling rewarded to help local business owners grow their bottom line and help more people with their products and services
  • Feel proud of what you do because you’re helping others in a HUGE way, and bettering their livelihood (for their employees, customers, AND loved ones)
  • HUGE PROFIT MARGINS – forget about buying ads or dealing with physical products
  • PASSIVE INCOME with Free Traffic once we rank the websites to the ideal locations online
  • Enjoy the freedom that comes from working this business model in a very part-time basis, along with the financial freedom that you are now making money for yourself!

I’m happy to show you how we do it! Click here to learn about our coaching program and learn everything necessary to earn well over 6-7 figures in passive income online using Lead Gen Websites and FREE TRAFFIC to produce the income online so many dream of, yet so few realize is actually possible to achieve.

ECom Success Academy with Adrian Morrison — Is It For You?

December 17, 2018 by Shiv Aiyar

You wanna start a business online, you say?

Not sure where to start, you say?

Sounds like massive exposure to selling products digitally is the gold mine?

That may be true – it being a gold mine, that is – but first, we have to find and strike the gold mine.  

So, is the eCommerce – the literal selling of products through online stores – the 100% best way “hit it big???”

eCom Success Academy was given its very first general release in May of 2016, and at the time, Adrian Morrison was peeling back the curtain on –

+a business model valued at over $1,000,000.00

AND…

+several walk-through, step-by-step marketing campaigns (complete, end-to-end) each valued at over $100,000.00 worth of PURE PROFIT!!!

After scaling up – using only eCommerce strategies and some handy-dandy Facebook Advertising, we provide a more in-depth peek at what is really here!

For me, I have tried Facebook Ads advertising and eCommerce.  Even with a little success, Local Lead Generation has produced a recurring, predictable income of over $50,000 every single month; those profits are what I used to try this program with.  To check out our coaching program to learn how you can do the same, CLICK HERE for more details.

Who is this guy, Adrian Morrison?

A man of many talents, Mr. Morrison has dedicated his life to teaching thousands of incoming, digital entrepreneurs how to leverage the internet to begin a profitable, online business, while discovering real success and educating toward financial freedom.

Having generated millions for his affiliate partners and his very own eCommerce store, he carries the reputation of being among the elite Facebook Advertising experts globally.

Having consulted for top influencers in the social media spectrum…

– AND –

Having critiqued and guided Fortune-ranked companies (with multi-millions in revenue annually) in the social media advertising space…

Adrian Morrison simplifies Facebook Advertising for the sake of turning a profit quickly and effectively.

Introducing Adrian Morrison’s eCom Success Academy

Imagine if you had a mentor that took you by-the-hand and ushered you to the promised land where you never had to worry about financial woes again…

Now imagine that same mentor having had massive success and street cred…

Countless people have struck it rich with eCom Success Academy and it is worth taking a moment to read through this article and discover just what is available in this program…

From eCommerce and Search Engine Optimization discussions to local marketing and leveraging the platform of Facebook Ads, this course is somewhat wide in the educational side of internet marketing.  

What is the absolute best route to go for striking a gold mine and achieving the kind of massive success that many dream about and few reach?

Read on… 🙂

What I like about the eCom Success Academy Coaching

It’s no secret: everyone wants to hit it big time, and they want guidance toward the promised land.

The outstanding work of Adrian Morrison here is that he has pieced together a video training solution that you can access at any time of day.

So if you’re working late at night or simply want to fit in some training on your lunch break, you can login at your convenience, on your personal devices, and start to grind at your leisure.

Perfect for those single mothers that would rather get something in quick before bed, or those tireless husbands and fathers that just want to add some bottom line to their income for

  • Family vacations
  • Chrismas gifts
  • Anniversary commemorations
  • Birthday surprises

For many in America, these kinds of hopeful luxuries simply are not in the budget.  

And so we go out, do some free Google Searches and seek for that one golden ticket to financial freedom.  

Could it be eCom Success Academy?  

The 7-Part course that introduces Shopify store setup and a linking to Facebook Advertising for dropshipping products?

You see, dropshipping is nothing more than marketing someone else’s products, and then being the middle man when a consumer makes a purchase through your store.

As luck would have it, there is a little bit of work involved, like:

  • Setting up partnerships
  • Designing a website
  • Increasing web traffic – meaning REAL BUYERS – to your products
  • Incentivizing the purchase
  • And more…

It’s not much work, though.  Adrian Morrison guides you on things to look for in retail sellers and who to trust.

He also guides you in the aspects of linearizing your model and accomplishing business in bulk – that way, you don’t have to follow-up on every… single… order… that… takes… place…

Then, of course, there are other automations to keeping in touch with your audiences, like:

  • Tracking of people with key ingredients in the Facebook Ads Platform
  • Linking an ad campaign to a website’s page (easily)
  • Email follow-ups that fire off instantly when an event occurs (like a purchase, or someone contacting the seller – or maybe yourself)
  • Reminders about shipments or that there are still items in the cart of a previous visitor to your store

Indeed, you can grow your business model to add thousands of products!

Then, all you need to do is put those products in front of buyers and watch the magic of the efforts you’ve put in upfront FLOURISH!

The Facebook Ads training involved in eCom Success Academy is golden!

From writing Facebook Ads to actually committing some advanced targeting into your campaign and really dialing in who is being reached with your marketing tactics…

Reaching the ideal customer is only a matter of time and a little effort in testing what works best in order to land that next big score of product purchases… which means…

CHA-CHING!

More profits in your pockets for helping others get what they want!

After all, help enough people to get what they want and you can have everything that you want.  

Welcome to the exciting world of business online!

Can Literally Anyone Do eCom Success Academy?

The word “thorough” doesn’t even begin to describe the nature of this complete training.  This is some high-class stuff and worth exploring!

While, naturally, we can’t say it’s for everyone, I would venture to suggest that anything is worth a try… and here’s why…

This course can be taken advantage of by people with nada – zero – zilch – zip experience in the online space – with either Facebook Ads skills and/or setting up to sell something online.

In fact, if you’re sold on selling something online and have never done something like this before, the recorded training will literally say to do step 1, then do step 2, and so on!

With 100% of all of the sources of traffic being Facebook Advertising in this training, one needs to develop a couple of skills to achieve success:

First, understand that physical products matter!  You need someone to fulfill orders, so partnerships are important.

Second, you would need to be willing to invest some money in your personal education – yes, in addition to the course – testing marketing strategies.  

As you may earn a lot, a little, or no money at all – YEAH, STANDARD DISCLAIMER… this program has it too…

Developing good habits in marketing are essential for any business, and the internet marketing platform of eCommerce is truly no different!  Good habits in my business began with local lead generation, which could be a more viable busines option if you’re low on start-up captial…

However… this isn’t for everyone… If you’re ready for massive profits off FREE Organic Web Traffic from Google search results, check out this local lead generation coaching program that I learned from to amass a $50k/month income on AutoPilot.

Why Someone Might Not Want eCom Success Academy

In a nutshell, this training course is just that… a training course.

Recorded videos that can be accessed at any time.  

But here’s where the questions start to come in…

  1. Is there regular training/coaching sessions?

At the top of the training area, there’s a place where you can request support…

But how far does that support really go?

Is there a Facebook group one can regularly visit for counseling, advisement, and support from peers who are navigating the same course content?

Are there coaching calls by the expert so you can get questions answered from the founding father of this training program?

       2. Can you spend the time necessary to get far as fast as you want?

These videos can be quite lengthy…

In fact, I remember one video being as long as 45 minutes.

Now, that’s not a lot of time.  Some college classes have been known to last as long as 3 to 4 hours.

However, if you are a busy, working, single mother of several children, maybe even holding down 2 or more jobs just to feed kids and keep a roof over your head…

Do you STILL have 45 minutes available to sit and watch one video?

       3. Can  a video a day keep success at bay?

Now, this could mean that your bay is right where you want your ship to be.

Instead of rising with the tide, maybe you’re working on your ship to improve it.

In this case, your ship is the end product that you have never had before.

You’re starting as a newbie and want this flourishing, profitable business.

While, yes, there are growing pains, do you really want to take so long with this course that you can only engage in 1 to 2 videos in a day…

1 to 2 videos a day…

EVERY DAY…

Until you’re done with the training and know what you need to know in order to start acquiring profits?

While this video training can definitely roll as an over-the-shoulder, do as I do model…

The time investment with long videos may actually turn off some people who had originally invested in the course.

       4. Brief refund/guarantee period.

If you’re taking so long to get through the program, then can you really “try it” if your schedule doesn’t permit?

Can you still be considered if this “doesn’t work” for a refund because you simply aren’t a traditional person who had evenings available to invest long hours into training?

While the training may be the best in the world, is it really the best FOR YOU?

       5. Can you afford the upsells or additional little gadgets and tools to make things EASIER?

When I started, I like the idea that I could pinch pennies and reinvest profits from my early successes with this program into growing an empire.

Unfortunately, I had invested every penny I had into eCom Success Academy.

I didn’t have the extra liquid cash to purchase operating costs – like a Shopify store, etc.

So the learning curve for me was that – when starting any business, even an online business –

I need to have funds set aside to market and build assets that I own.

So there are things like… SHOPIFY DISCOUNTS…

And while it seems like every effort is being made to make you a success…

And there’s a very good chance that this could work out…

Many might not see the need to have some extra cash available in order to make the necessary investments to…

  • Open a Shopify store
  • Test Facebook Advertising Ads (to find a winning one… or 3)
  • Afford payment processing fees
  • And much, much more…

Take it from a successful entrepreneur…

You’ll want the extra investment available upfront to keep funding your business while you learn the ropes and progress toward making a profit!

If you still want to give this a try but would like to generate revenue in a more affordable way, check out this local lead gen coaching program that helped me to walk away from a full-time job only a few short years ago.

The Bad Aspects of Starting eCom Success Academy

Now, this isn’t a ragging session on Adrian Morrison.  

With eCommerce in general, there are inherent risks.

The intrinsic nature of this activity is that you could make a lot, a little, or no money at all.  

And even though the idea of leverage includes taking profits from the efforts of other people… if they’re someone that you can’t contact directly for open dialogue, then why would you partner with them at all?

Just as with any business venture, there are good and bad aspects…

As an experienced marketer, let’s take you on a journey to the 9 reasons that something like eCom Success Academy may not be a good idea:

  1. Order fulfillment is out of your hands.

Quite honestly, once you find a partner, it is up to them to turn things around as fast as possible.  

Once you have submitted the customer orders from your website over to your overseas shipping company, if they don’t deliver then you could be on the hook for refunding the customer’s money.

       2. The customer changed their mind and doesn’t want to go through with their purchase.

Say a parent called up and told you that their child had made a purchase online with their credit card… Do you know how to handle this?  

As a newbie, can you AFFORD to handle a problem like this?

In the spirit of full disclosure, did you FORESEE a problem like this?  

I didn’t see a warning about this in the eCom Success Academy so I am glad you are reading this and can become fully aware of what you’re getting into.

       3. Websites cost money.

Duh and/or hello, as Sterling Archer might way, right!?  

As you’re setting up a business, there’ll be investment costs and this is no different.  

While the digital marketing space allows for a lot less in startup costs, did you know about things like domain vs. hosting, how they’re different, and that it requires two different accounts with two different companies in order to tie those together and have a web property online that people can visit?

I’m just trying to help here…

       4. Sellers come and go.

Sellers are people just like you and me.  When you partner with someone, and then attempt to contact them, will they be very responsive to your needs?

What if a customer cancels their order with you and/or demands a refund?  

What if the shipment comes to them broken?  

Do you know exactly what to do in these instances?

As an entrepreneur, I personally am all about finding a way to fix problems and make good things happen in business.

But there’s a line to be drawn between good business versus being on the hook for an offense that you personally didn’t commit.

       5. Shipping can take longer than anticipated.

When was the last time you made a purchase online?

Was that purchase a retail product?

Did that retail product come from an overseas location?

Assuming it didn’t, here’s the reality of purchasing something from overseas…

It could arrive at the buyers door anywhere from 3-weeks to 3-months.

You heard that right!

In the world we live in – where immediate, instant gratification is a real thing – we all want the product we sought RIGHT NOW!

So one of the best ways to over deliver for a new customer…

Or REPEAT CUSTOMERS…

Is to increase the efficiency of shipping.

With your overseas partners shipping goods at a reduced price, here’s the trade-off…

CHEAPER PRICES = LONGER SHIPPING TIMES

That’s just a fact!

I am not sure how long I would be in business if I were required to wait these long shipping times and have to deal with angry emails of customers demanding to know where their product is because “they’re just checking on it.”

       6. Is the item out of stock — and you weren’t told?

Is your partner no longer carrying the item you are advertising?

Are specific types of your product out of stock with no intention of fulfilling future orders of this nature?

Is the manufacturer not making the toy / jewelry / business resource anymore?

In addition to constant follow-up with those you are dropshipping for (there’s that word again)…

Ask yourself:

Are you really getting into an online business to create a second job?

       7. Competition is escalating.

With technology making life easier for your family, friends, and neighbors, and those of others, to make purchases online, we have entered the digital age where everyone seems to be tied to a computer – which is now a necessity.

As such, more people are jumping on-board with purchasing products online.

That can be a great opportunity for someone just like you, right!?

WRONG!!!

As competition increases, and people hop into this eCom Success Academy recording training videos, more people are going to attempt to pedal similar products that you are attempting to sell.

The new question becomes… are they going to buy from you, or from someone else?

More importantly, are they going to buy due to price, shipping times, or both?

       8. Amazon: the 800-pound Gorilla of eCommerce.

At the end of the day, this is a reality that we all need to face!

The eCommerce giant that everyone (and their grandmother) has heard about, is Amazon!

Amazon is HUGE!  Amazon is Everywhere!  

Your store is just getting started and no one has ever heard of it!

With the rumors of getting scammed and identity theft occurring from online purchases, wouldn’t people simply go and make a purchase with a more reputable company than your founding store?

Sure, there are some loyal people who purchase from mom-and-pop stores, but those are people in the local community – with tangible, brick-and-mortar businesses.  

And, those people may have an online presence but there’s a good chance that they aren’t doing every bit of their customer sales online.

As an exclusively digital business, eCommerce lives and dies on whether you get seen and people are incentivized to buy.

If you’re ready to stand up to Amazon, then by all means… good luck!

       9. Burn Out!

We’ve all heard the stories of people in high stress jobs…

  • Firefighters
  • Nurses
  • Laywers
  • Doctors
  • Physical Therapists
  • eCommerce Online Sellers!?!?

Yes, you’ve read that right!  

The issues that arise in a business are real need to be dealt with.

As any good business owner will say, solving problems are what separate surviving entrepreneurs from the great!

How often are you going to keep putting out the same fires though?

The repetitive tasks of keeping the business maintained, ongoing, day after day, month after month, year after year…

And with no certainty of whether you’ll be getting another customer with all of your marketing efforts!?  

How to Succeed in eCommerce

See, this wasn’t all bad!  I’m a nice guy!

Seriously though… there has to be a certain approach to this business model.

  • Get creative!
  • Be proactive!
  • Seek to help others!
  • Stay in constant communication with your partners – from manufacturers to dropshipping partners, and more!
  • Above all, this can be hard to scale when there are multiple projects getting balanced; they’re all requiring a time investment and one can’t help but wonder if they’ll have enough assets “in-play” to make it worth their while.

Why I Stopped Pursuing eCommerce

Let’s be real here…

It’s great to be able to put a product in front of a massive audience with the ease of a Facebook Ad…

Garner some attention and excitement around a product that may be of interest to a certain demographic…

Hope they buy the product…

And keep at it until it begins to fizzle and profits begin to drift in margins…

Then we can change up the products listings and move a new item into play to keep the profits high…

…BUT IS THAT RELIABLE!?

I personally would rather see the higher profit margins and have to deal with less volume.

Think about it…

Wouldn’t you want a handful of people paying you for…

  • A service they will continuously want
  • Not fizzle away and stop paying you because they purchased a product once
  • Bringing them what they want over and over
  • Stay with you longer than any eCommerce store could ever hope to keep the attention of your clients

Local Lead Generation is Where I’m At for THE Profitable Business Option in 2019

Think about this business model for a moment…

You are the go-to person for bringing a company more business.

You set up some assets online that bring service requests to a plumber, electrician, heating and cooling company, or others…

The business owner cuts you in on the profits of every deal you bring them…

And you never have to touch the assets again.

THAT’S RIGHT…

I built a website nearly three years ago that I haven’t touched… and it’s still bringing in profits.

No more…

  • Late nights of getting order requests submitted.
  • Customers giving me financial woes and burdens.
  • Angry emails of people who’ve “changed their mind.”
  • High costs just to maintain business properties.
  • Contacting partners just to make sure your product line is current.

And best of all…

NO INVENTORY CONCERNS!!!

When a local business owner wants more customers, you can deliver!

…and HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?

Who do you know in your local area that you could reach out and offer to help?

Who have you or your family and friends worked with recently?

  • Doctors
  • Chiropractors
  • Personal Injury Attorneys
  • Dentists

Think about this short list – just for starters…

The profit margins on the specialized work they service their clients in…

And if you brought them 30 new customers a month…

Do you think they would pay you upwards of $3000 per month to stay with them for the lifetime of their business?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!  

Just for being the middleman and getting a sliver to deliver, you want what’s ideal here…

Time and financial freedom for a business model that requires little time investment and high returns!

There’s a time investment upfront of getting your digital assets generating referrals.  

After that, just a quick check-in on the website to make sure it’s doing what it should be doing…

AND KEEP COLLECTING THE CHECKS!

So basically…

Local Marketing is My Business Choice for Entrepreneurship

Global Affiliate Zone (GAZ) – Unbiased Review

December 16, 2018 by Shiv Aiyar

In 2015, the launch of Global Affiliate Zone occurred under the hands of two gentlemen who were coaches in another network marketing style of an affiliate program, what was known as the AWOL Academy; this was a business opportunity designed to have student members delivering sales to Mathieu Jang and Julian Sherman by simply promoting the AWOL Academy program. 

This key resource – GAZ – has become a resource for students to learn how affiliate marketing (along with automation) can yield serious profits…

Actual money in your pockets…

…so revenue can roll in by doing only a tenth of the work (once everything is in place). 

Although, some questions have been raised recently about Global Affiliate Zone…

Things like:

  • How legitimate is GAZ?
  • Is this a Pyramid Scheme? (After all, the only way to really tell something is like that is if the affiliated salespeople get paid exclusively through recruiting others instead of being able to profit directly from selling a product/service.)
  • Do Julian Sherman and Mathieu Lang really generate their own income via affiliate marketing, or is 100% of both of these guys’ income directly from selling their course about profiting from it?

Until saturation of this type of business model hit the internet –we’re talking massive flooding of people who are trying to rake in a hefty income from doing the exact same things –

Affiliate Marketing once had its place in the entrepreneurial space… Really! 

I figured this was worth looking into. However, a brief GoogleTM search query of Mathieu and Sherman’s names yielded not a single website – not one – that they directly, personally owned; talk about a red flag in my book. 

Having built a $50,000.00 per month business through local lead generation, I hold my head high-in-pride that I was able to walk away from a full-time career and produce a generous online income prior to ever recommending the coaching programs of others in an affiliated manner. 

In fact, the majority of my income stems from the monthly revenue of the lead gen business model – which I still casually operate to this day.

The Price of the Marketing System of Global Affiliate Zone (GAZ)

Upsell after upsell, it’s a struggle to find clarity for a newbie to simply enter the program and start a side-hustle to add to their current income. 

Check out the business statement of their company:

In reality, here are your tiered pitches you’ll receive when you“sign-up” to learn how to make a profit online with GAZ…

  • Join for as little as $99 – Here’s what you’ll receive:

…they say you’ll merit the privilege of having hired “a coach,” but for this price tag, all you’re getting hooked up with is the private Facebook group of Global Affiliate Zone.

  • Upsell 1: $495 – Here’s what you’ll receive:

…the 6-figure, online/digital marketing strategy that you’ve heard so much about, and it’ll be delivered in a step-by-step fashion for half of a grand beyond the price to “join.”

  • Upsell 2: $2,475 – Here’s what you’ll receive:

…it’s pitched as a done-for-you (D4U) service, where they advocate being willing to do the work for you so you don’t have to grind as much. 

Back in February of 2016, someone was willing to vocalize their displeasure with the scheme of upselling immediately after someone clicks on submit for their payment information to “join” GAZ.  I’m under the impression that she was more interested in having one higher ticket price and getting everything altogether in a well-informed purchase.

I know that when I make a large purchase or choose to invest in something of this magnitude, I expect nothing less than top-notch information and quality service; keeping things all in one place doesn’t hurt either.

Just remember… if you advertise everything for a certain price, it may be a good idea to stick behind what was said – like join for only $99…

There’s a method behind this marketing strategy and incentivizing a new student as they run through the funnel of joining an online program.  Different audiences reviewing this program and joining just may be at different price points due to their personal circumstances or individual, financial well-being…

However, it could take a little more than $99 for someone who is serious in establishing a well-to-do, online business venture –

It’s probably a better idea to acquire a job before buying into an online opportunity because starting an entrepreneurial endeavor online for less than the average high-speed internet cable bill can be a steal but all businesses require an investment and start-up capital… and only carrying $99 before going broke could suggest that starting a business online isn’t a good fit for you.

Everyone starts somewhere in the entrepreneurial spectrum; for some that aren’t in a lucrative position to launch a new business – regardless of whether it’s online or not – requires a level of hustle, like an employer mindset. 

It’s been said that in order to lead, you must learn how to follow.  If you’re not in a financial state to be capable of making the necessary investments to acquire the recommended resources to make a business model work for you, then working as an employee (even on a temporary basis) might be a good solution to cover your bills and feed your business while you get started.

Can this work for you?

So you know what this program is: it’s affiliate marketing.

You know that there are multiple price points at which you can enter –and additional privileges you can purchase from Sherman and Jang to get started or sharpen your curve toward success.

But does this really work?

Here’s something to demystify for you – yes you, reading this review –that might not always be clear when someone is selling an idea, service, or product…

In this case, when they suggest that they can do the work for and/or on your behalf… you know, for the higher ticket price upsell?

What these gentlemen are really claiming is that they can…

  • Select the industry you might find to be a good fit to get started in
  • Provide access to templated websites you can leverage
  • Claim that they’ve positioned you to start doing what you bought this course to learn to do… and that was Affiliate Marketing in the industry they’ve recommended

Unfortunately, this upsell doesn’t necessarily put you a prime position for success because you, the student, made all of this upfront investment and still haven’t learned the actual skill(s) necessary for conquering and landing profits in the world of affiliate marketing.

If your income is determined by your skills, and your profitability existing on the size of the problems that you’re able to solve for the marketplace, then it’s true that your skillset determines your value and worth as a business owner. 

If you want that value to reflect your ability to deliver in your unique way, with a unique image, then maybe low quality, resold, duplicate content websites from a third party isn’t the most ideal method toward separating yourself from your peers who are also in this coaching program and getting the same resources that you are paying top dollar for (just like them). 

This limitation – owning a website that your fellow students are also acquiring – refers to a lack of originality, and as a new fish in this big pond, I can suggest that you’ll probably struggle due to the competition against those who’ve invested hours/days and other resources in learning their craft to be top dogs in the online affiliate arena. 

To become the top player in your market, in my opinion, you’ll need to establish, and build upon, a high-income skill that you can build a sustainable business model around.

When I got started in the online business space, I stumbled upon a local lead generation mentorship program that helped me to walk away from my 9 to 5 with a new, high-value skillset, and I was able to establish a multi-6 figure income from the simplest internet business model through providing tremendous value to local business owners and service providers. 

If another business opportunity begins preaching the notion that you can become wealthy without work…

I invite you to give a brief pause to your day and question it! 

Ask yourself if these creators, these coaches in Global Affiliate Zone, truly worked their tail off to not only fabricate this program from scratch but also labored diligently in marketing to get the attention of consumers just like you and I so they could massively expand their clientele?

There’s no doubt about it; yes, they did that and more! 

From content creation and education materials to assessing the ideal customer to market to…

From crafting an appealing offer to getting that message in front of the right type of buyer…

People in the coaching programs space labor to establish a level of value they can deliver, so they definitely work for their keep…

And if that’s what they’re doing with their coaching program, do you believe that you could match or exceed their level of success with little to no effort upon investment?

So as an entrepreneur, I get what they’re attempting to accomplish herewith GAZ; the jist is to automate, prioritize and systematically develop their affiliate marketing strategy.  Likewise, this product can operate as a stand-alone, sellable course so their students can be attracted from a broad scope of the marketplace. 

They’re attempting to claim delivery on the hot buttons of why most people are already seeking out business opportunities online…

  • A deep desire for instant gratification and immediate success in business
  • Appealing to our senses that their program is the ideal place to make you successful

The reality is this…

I find that promises of extraordinary results for little work from people who’ve invested extraordinary volumes of preparation and resources to make their own project a success may just be a tad misguided…

Okay… seriously misguiding an audience…

As a successful entrepreneur, I can personally – and honestly – speak from the heart in sharing that when you head down the road of online business ventures, it’s quickly discovered that generating wealth online is more about you – the individual person – than it is any other factor (program, coach, resources, etc.).

How Local Lead Generation Is The Strongest Business Model for 2019

I have tried just about all there is to attempt in the internet marketing space to turn a buck or two with my expensive laptop and some overpriced internet costs in the comfort of my own home. 

  • Affiliate Marketing to get a new customer with some online marketing strategies that I’d just as soon forget about exploring to begin with
  • eCommerce dropshipping – where I don’t actually have to request samples, place bulk orders, wait for the shipment to arrive at my home, customize and inventory shipping boxes with packaging equipment / labels / postage, and ensure the costs of goods sold are addressed while hopefully ensuring that the end user likes their product so much that they won’t ask me – the middle person – for a refund
  • Amazon FBA – a strategy involving everything from inventorying products in my home to sending them to the end user in my customized packaging, and requiring Google AdsTM to draw attention to my product listings – in hopes that more desirable buyers will see exactly what I’m listing and not only place a stark-raving review on it, they’ll also place an order for one or several items of what I’m listing on Amazon
  • Shopify – a similar physical products business,also on the dropshipping model, but the overseas shipping times can be brutal for the end buyers, and the time differences in communicating with sellers overseas can end up more taxing on a person than the profits might be worth

Bluntly put, being able to develop a business skill set that you can leverage to generate a high income through the internet is the ideal circumstance for becoming successful in an online side-hustle in 2019!

Period!

If you can harness the power of Google search results, being found at the top position for a well-searched keyword, you can garner FREE TRAFFIC to take care of you for years to come.

Being able to put something at the top of Google to generate leads fora local business owner is a skillset that can pay you for life, and in countless ways. 

For one, and truth be told, the internet isn’t going anywhere and neither are local small businesses; both will probably be around in our entire lifetimes here… we might as well get in on what’s present and develop a high income skillset that can create not only individual wealth but generational wealth (if that’s something you’re looking for).

To get that high-income skill, though, if you don’t already have it, then mentoring is definitely something worth looking into and investing in. 

While affiliate marketing might still have a place somewhere in thisinternet money-making world, the struggle with Global Affiliate Zone is that they have one focus – preach that they can take away upwards of 90% of your labors for a high ticket price of only $2,475.00. 

Oh and, after they’ve handed you a few words and cookie-cutter examples of how to go forward, you’re still back at square one with wondering how you’re going to take these resources and bits of information (that you’ve literally just paid an arm and a leg for) and transition them into a meaningful profit with the internet at your fingertips and zero orientation after shelling out a couple grand. 

As most other students will be in your same or similar position, once they’ve bought the same program and resources as you, you’re now in competition with your peers to make some magic happen with duplicated assets. 

At this point, it’s safe to say that a future of frustration and struggle is in store for you; and it could be true, since your level of success in online entrepreneurship correlates with your high-income skillset. 

How Local Lead Generation is the Ideal business Model in 2019

With the business model of local lead generation, it’s a no brainer. I get to live the lifestyle of my dreams, and more, thanks to making the once fictional laptop lifestyle a reality after only a few short years of exposure to it.

From not having to call in sick to never having to go out into inclement weather (unless I really want to play in the snow), this new level of time and financial freedom is one of the reasons that I started this blog; in addition to writing about other coaching programs in the online marketing space, I want to spread the word that you, too, can experience the joy that comes from living financially secure.

In building this business for only a few years now, my whole-hearted labors have reached upwards of $50,000.00 per month in revenue; the costs of doing business for me right now (which, there always will be) is a menial 1/5thof that.  In comparison, it’s only$10,000.00 to help me run my business model…

And those costs of doing business are funded with what is coming in every month on a predictable basis. 

There’s also no cap on when I get to generate more income or expand my bottom line; I just go to the computer, whip up another lead generation website, past it to the top of Google and enjoy the fruits of my labors. 

I set up some simple websites, index them into Google’s search results, paste them at the top and collect paychecks. There are a couple more steps in there, but not much.  But referring more business over to a local business owner for a fraction of what they profit from could make for a very lucrative model – especially if the price per customer/service is ridiculously high in value and demand. 

This business model is exactly why a rhinoplasty (plastic) surgeon generates significantly more revenue than a doctor of medicine in a general outpatient clinic. 

With local lead generation, you don’t focus on a wealth of affiliate products to push to the marketplace; instead, you focus on one skillset…generating leads for businesses to service.

It makes sense too: a specialist has a rarer skill, and therefore can command a higher income. 

Think of all the reasons that we began looking into generating an income online…

Then, look at the benefits of Local Lead Generation in 2019 and think about how they align so well:

  • Make your own hours in your days/weeks/months/years, including deciding what day to sleep in and when to take a vacation
  • Largest Profit Margins – we’re talking extremely high, higher than any affiliate offer you could deliver sales for in mass quantities
  • You get to make a living while making a difference; and making a positive difference in the lives of business owners, customers, and the loved ones of all those who are benefitting as a direct result of lead gen
  • Most business owners need a specialist in generating leads for their business; they’re specialists in owning a business and delivering on what they do best… they need you to help them
  • LOW, LOW COMPETITION – with countless businesses and cities to select from

I really enjoy that our coaching program contains everything you could need for one ticket price to get you from absolute beginner to proficient expert, and conditions you to learn the high-income skill that can position you to make a significant impact in your marketplace.

Aside from getting to make a real difference for local business owners anywhere there’s internet (which, might as well be, oh I don’t know… EVERYWHERE NOW), you’ll have a play-by-play on how to hit a home run with sizing up a lead generation business after you’ve hit a certain income level. 

And the benefits of learning to fish, reading and writing, and developing a high-income skill are that they’re yours to keep – forever!  No one can take away your knowledge and/or skills, no matter how valuable they may be. 

Want the financial confidence that comes with being able to send leads to local business owners with a local lead gen business in 2019? 

Want to start an online business and develop a skill that you can immediately take to the marketplace and make a difference with?
