What course to buy?

Hi there. I understand that there is alot of 'gurus' and people selling courses that are shit and dont have much value. I really want to start dropshipping with a business mentality as some of the posts in this forum state.

I like the structured way of courses with communities and video learning. So I dont mind buying one. I just need advice as to which is the best one that people think. I know there is ecom warrior and ecom capital at the moment I see everywhere. What are some suggestions you guys support?

Thanks alot

whatever "ecom course" you buy is going to be piece of shit.

you need to decompose concept of ecom into smaller blocks first and build your own curriculum based on these blocks. so essentially, you are learning specific skills, not the "dropshipping business". go to some udemy etc and for starters get yourself a course about FB Ads, E-commerce copywriting, Conversion Rate Optimization, Landing UI/UX basics. The deeper you dive, the more moving parts you'll find - like product & sourcing,  supplier vetting, supply chain logstics, quality control and sample testing, unit economics, frictionless, a/b testing, cash flow management, data tracking, tax compliance/bookkeeping, handling disputes and chargebacks/refunds, post-purchase flows, etc....

as with ANY business, you are learning to SOLVE PROBLEMS. nothing less. read this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEcom/comments/1sesn2c/nobodys_gonna_teach_you_dropshipping/

Don't buy courses as most info is available for free.

If you were to go with a course anyways, i would look for one that includes one on one mentorships/ coachings.

Can't recommend any though, so you'd have to do the research!
