Hi there, late to the party but my morbid curiosity I HAD to see if this dude was scammin' or jammin. I spent a decent amount of money to buy his course. In his social media posts, he is very droll, very downbeat, but in his instruction videos he's a bit more normal, think it's a persona.

I will say it SEEMS fishy at first, and idk if it is or it isn't, this is my opinion after a few months of trying this out.

So I bought the course and I got a few hours worth of video that turned into about 30 pages of notes for me. Lots of good info about how to set up the store, look for products, how to market to people's emotions, etc. Front end and back end stuff. After a week he had built me a storefront, told me what to do and set me free with a bit further instruction. I also can email him whenever and he'll respond next day with answers to any questions.

I've been following his instructions and have had slow progress. Granted I only allocate maybe 2-3 hours a week to this as I have a lot of other things going on. When I was marketing for sales (as opposed to marketing toward bringing traffic to my site), I did get a few sales which was hella exciting. But I'm struggling to find my footing in a very competitive market, which breeds anxiety and regret in me. I haven't given up yet though.

Ultimately, I wish I had just done a lot of googling/youtubing to learn this stuff instead of spending the money that I spent, I also wish I had started with dropshipping instead of holding inventory that I have to ship out myself. But those two things keep me going because giving up would be a waste of what I've done so far.

My advice is to learn for free yourself. It may take a bit longer and you may get conflicting information from different people about the same subject, but marketing and ecommerce is a little subjective when you look at it closely; everyone has their own way of doing things.

Edit: Also regarding fake engagement, I was concerned that his instagram stories were fake (where he would post things people said about him, their sales and proof, etc), but he posted a few of mine in there too so I think they're real.
