Excellent course and great support from…

Excellent course and great support from ALGO, Bob and his team. I purchased the course and within 5 weeks I had completed the course, followed the steps for setting up my business,( LLC, EIN, resellers license, etc), then sourced product, listed thru Seller Central and was open for business, all within 5 weeks.
I could not have done it without ALGO's help and support. No reason to reinvent the wheel, learn from others who've been there, and done that.
Anyone can do it, but it requires some time, effort and desire.
Thanks Bob and Team

Deceptively selling membership/ Hiding true cost of doing this business.

The recruitment of members to take your training was a bit deceptive. Bob indicates that the cost of running this program will take $500 minimum. Then he is selling the training program for $997.00. So you must add the two together $997+$500=$1497. In effect, he should be telling you that the cost to run the program is $1497. He never distinguishes a difference between the two numbers that he is speaking about. I believe many of the listeners will be caught in the trap of not having enough money to ever start selling online because they spent their money on the training program.

Bob and the team do our best to explain what it takes to start selling on Amazon and YOU CAN start selling on Amazon with just $500 for inventory and basic tools. We do offer various programs that cost money but that is not related to the question of "how much money does one need to sell on Amazon?"

We try to be transparent as possible with the costs involved. $500 minimum for inventory is a realistic minimum. When answering this question, Bob also usually states that $500 is the minimum and $2,000 is more realistic.

ALGO has been an answer to my prayers

ALGO has been an answer to my prayers. After investing $5000 on a drop shipping program I was leery of all online pitches. After watching the YouTube videos and talking to my accountant who also had taken the course I decided to try it. It’s been 4 months I am now making $3500 a month and the support has been timely and exactly what I needed to get me over the hump. Can’t wait to head to VEGAS and ASD. The course is worth 10 times what I paid!! Thank you.

Beware of the empty promises

Beware of the promises! There's no phone number so you can't call anyone for assistance. If you email, you get canned responses because no one really reads the emails. They make promises to help you step by step. They make promises to hook you up with a supplier to help with your first order and help get you get ungated but that person is not responsive. They are in the business making money selling memberships off the backs of people who can ill afford to spend money unwisely. You struggle through 20 hours of videos and when you've gathered enough money to make your first purchase, the supplier who is supposed to get you off to a great start is MIA. when you asked about it they tell you to just follow the instructions in their videos to find a different supplier.

Sorry, you feel this way. It seems like this review might be a result of a miscommunication and a bad morning :)

We pride ourselves in providing all of the business owners in our program with world-class 24-hour email support answered by US-based team members that each sell on Amazon every single day.

Yes. We did share the contact info of one of our trusted suppliers with you. The Holiday season is the busiest for most suppliers so they are unlikely to quickly respond to new customers (especially if you don't follow up) as they are dealing with hundreds of clients every day trying to get product into their stores before Christmas.

We actually don't make much money off of selling our 20-hour programs. We do it to teach people how to profitably sell on Amazon so we can work with them in other capacities (funding partnerships, supplier sourcing, etc.) once they know how to run a successful Amazon business.

You didn't ask for help contacting this specific supplier. You asked for "suggestions of other suppliers" which is why one of our team members suggested you follow the instruction in 2 specific videos that describe the exact method that support person has used to find some of his best suppliers (those are his favorite proven methods and that is why he told you to look there).

In short, an Amazon expert has responded to all of your email questions within 24-hours with the best answers they had based on their understanding of your questions. We also reached out to you this morning to try to help you connect with the supplier we introduced you to.

Again, sorry that you feel like our support team let you down and we will do our best to help you succeed from here :)

Solid, actionable teaching & support

Solid, actionable teaching and support to help you get started in building a legitimate & credible Amazon business that can be scaled for future growth. This is not a "get rich quick" gimmick. It is solid training & support that MUST be paired with an investment of time and capital (money) on your part to succeed. It will shorten your growth curve and potentially save you from making disastrous mistakes you will surely encounter attempting to do this on your own.

Opportunity Knocks

A few weeks ago the company I worked for 6yrs decided to downsize my department. As the saying goes, where one closes another door opens and ALGO is this door of great opportunity and generational wealth for my entire family. Thank you on behalf of all the punch clock workers out there trying to making ends meet, please keep up the hard work, so persons like me can have the opportunity for a brighter future.. Thank you again, Sincerely Ken Boyd
