Good morning/afternoon, it's October 1st. I will begin onboarding new students (up to 5) for this month. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested and/or have questions. I have 2-3 interested at the moment, plenty of time/spots open.
So you're selling a method that can generate $10,000+ per day, and now you're taking on clients for $500/month per student, and with five students, that's $2,500/month you'll earn from this program.
I.e. 25% of what you should be able to earn in a single day with your own method.
Care to explanation the glaring discrepancy between what you claim they can achieve, and the fact that you clearly don't earn that sort of money or you wouldn't be charging $2,500 a month which is peasant money in the US.
Dropshipping, eCommerce, business can generate you -$XXXX -> $100,000+ -- so yes, my teachings could allow you the ability to generate $X in revenue (please also note that $10K in revenue != $10K in profit). You may also never touch that number. Both are obviously realistic outcomes in business. I changed the thread title on the other forums so it's a bit less click-baity, it's a marketing technique. I'm sure you've heard of marketing.
You're assuming that I get 5 students, and I take them all at the same price, but correct -- $2,500/month for my time, this is a one-time fee. Students remain in the group "forever." Therefore, at the moment, it's almost an "infinite" time sink for me as I put my energy into students that are trying to progress with their stores.
Quite an interesting attack you're coming with here, I'm clearly (as I believe I stated in the thread(?)) not looking for this (mentorship) to replace/become my job. It's additional revenue on-top of everything else I already do. If you read a single thing in the post, you'd understand I'm passionate about teaching. I like to give back to the community, because I've learned valuable lessons in my X years of doing Y things (business, jobs, etc.). I know it's hard for you to believe, but most people don't make a living on/from Bitcoin Forums (Services). Again, my intention and passion is to teach students -- I do NOT guarantee you will make money, I DO guarantee that you'll learn something. If you're interested in dropshipping and ecommerce, I have experience and I'm looking to pass it along. If you're not interested, that's cool too -- I don't care. Not sure you have any idea about me, nor my income (and streams of income). I do love the judgement though, I hope you're doing well for yourself.
I will continue on my explanation (unnecessary) for my price model:
The first group was free (3) and discounted (50% - 2) because this is a NEW service. I don't know about you, but when a random new person comes and asks for $XXX, most of the time the response is, "Why would I pay you this." So the first group was selected with the intention of getting some "vouches" or "this guy has knowledge" so that it would ideally interest more students. Super smart, right? Ground breaking stuff here...
The second group (right now, October), I'm starting at $500 which seems pretty decent for the second group as I will likely spend at least 40 hours by the end of our mentorship teaching you and/or analyzing data. Assuming my estimate of time spent is correct, that breaks down to $500/40hrs = $12.50/hr -- which as you're pointing out, isn't great. I do want to point out, that this is on-top of my current earnings. If I told you that you could teach people something you're passionate about for some extra money, why wouldn't you do it?
Anyways, hopefully some students are successful -- which would attest/prove my knowledge -- and I will continue to raise the course's price. Lower entry will always go to those that invest in products early. That's with all things. Please also note, I'm "competing" with real services and "influencers" who sell their courses as well. I'm trying to be competitive in what I'm offering, as well as price point to a forum where most people probably don't have that much money (again, this post isn't only on this forum).
I hope you have a nice day, let me know if you have any other questions.
