lol, thanks for your comment.

I don’t hide the fact that I am an affiliate for products talked about on this site and I believe I am fair and critical with my reviews.

Thank you for your feedback Will.

Whilst no novice to e-commerce, and admittedly still a little hesitant to fork out more money for fear of it being a Bright Shiny Object, I am seriously considering purchasing this course based on your thorough and balanced review.

Hi Jenny, thanks for your comment. It sounds like you’ve got a nice setup in Mexico.

To answer your questions:

I don’t have experience with any secondary account management companies, nor Etsy (yet). These are hurdles you can cross and experiment with as the need arises, in my opinion.

Customers are perfectly comfortable using stores on Shopify. And this year Shopify actually rolled out free storewide SSL for all stores hosted with them which I think is really cool.

Good luck with all your ventures!

Hello, I think you would most probably learn a few things but I don’t know your prior knowledge, so it’s hard to say if it would be worth it for you in particular. I know a lot of people buy up-and-running drop ship stores as an investment, sometimes with very little prior knowledge and experience ever building and running a store, so someone is that position would probably benefit greatly from a course of some kind.

The Shopify web design course, Adwords course and community would probably still represent quite good value for money for someone with an existing store and experience.

Thanks for your comment.

I haven’t seen much mention about secondary account management companies, like companies that manage and constantly update your inventory. This seems to me to be rather crucial if you are using several suppliers and have several thousand items worth of inventory. Are their any companies you recommend? I have seen a few that look surprisingly affordable. I would think that being “out of stock” on many items could be the kiss of death to your business!

Also, what about security? Do you find that most people are comfortable using Shopify? What about Etsy? Should I bother?

Thanking you in advance for your advice! I am excited to jump in!

PS. By the way, I am an American living in a tropical location in Mexico and my dream is, once I get my store up and running, to have the same exact store set up in Spanish for my Mexican market. I would be marketing items that I know are fairly easy to ship to Mexico (now that Amazon Mexico has launched). I’ve had a house here for 7 years and moved to Mexico permanently 4 years ago. Which is ideal because my cost of living is sooo much less than in the States!

Poco a poco. (Little by little)
Gracias!

Hello Diane, yes I will receive a commission, at no cost to you, if you purchase DSL through my links.

Hi Kris, thanks for your comment.

There are no guarantees with anything like this but the Drop Ship Lifestyle course is aimed at beginners. There’s a learning curve involved, as with anything, but if you’re curious to learn and have the right expectations, there’s no reason you can’t see success with this. There are plenty of people that have taken the course that were completely new to online business.
