Dominick Carney says Shopify is for suckers. Beginners get talked into starting there because drop shipping is made to look so fun and easy. But it’s not.
You have to drive your own traffic. That means paying for ads. You also have to build and design your own Shopify store. That requires tech skills. Then you have to deal with foreign suppliers. Which typically means low quality products and painfully long shipping times.
No wonder 99% of dropshippers fail.
“So how do we succeed online without having to go through any of that stuff?” Dom asks. “Well, there’s Amazon, right? And that’s where we sell.”
“If you understand the basics, you can crush it. Without having any prior ecommerce experience or a business or a ton of capital,” he continues.
“So we don’t have ads, right, because Amazon spends all that money for us. We don’t have to build websites because Amazon.com is already there. And then we don’t use foreign suppliers. We don’t use AliExpress, Alibaba, any of that cheap stuff.”
“Instead,” Dom differentiates, “we use trusted suppliers in the U.S. Places like Wayfair, Hayneedle, eBay, Walmart, other huge retailers like that.”
“All of these reasons are why we’re able to crush it on Amazon.”
“Here’s the concept. Let’s say Susie is looking online, she wants to buy a chair. So she goes to Amazon, ’cause that’s where everyone goes when they wanna buy something. And then she spends $100 for this chair. But you had already found this chair and saw that Walmart was selling it for quite a bit less.”
And therein lied the opportunity. That margin could be yours.
List the chair on Amazon and say Susie buys it. Now what?
Now you go to Walmart, in this case, and order the chair for less, but put in Susie’s shipping address so that it gets sent straight to her.
Everyone wins, Dominick says. Susie gets her chair, you make some money, and even Amazon and Walmart make a little.
On this very hypothetical example, maybe there was $25 or so that would go to you. And no ad spend. Nooice.
“You were able to generate this out of thin air,” Dominick explains, “from your phone or your computer. And that’s exactly how easy this process is.”
“So what’s the next step? How do you find these products? What do you do? Where do you go?”
“We recommend two tools. AMZ Seller Browser, a Google Chrome extension that’ll tell you products with the highest likelihood of making sales. And the next tool you wanna use is called Price Blink, another Chrome extension that’ll tell ya where you can get products listed on Amazon for a lot less.”
You take that intel and start listing those potential winning products for sale in your Amazon store, right?
But what if they don’t sell? Doesn’t matter. It cost you no money to make those listings and hardly any time. Who cares.
It’s fast, it’s simple, and there’s no risk. You literally only spend money once a sale has been made in your Amazon store for more than what you’ll have to buy the product for from another supplier.
By that point, you’ve already won, right? It’s just good old-fashioned retail arbitrage. Only you’re selling high before you’re buying low.
Dominick knows his stuff. Once you opt in to his funnel, he’s got all kinds of mini courses and coaching programs to sell ya.

You can get started for about $17, but then you become a slab of meat dangling in front of Rocky Balboa as he bludgeons you with upsells.
The more important thing to consider, though, is the model itself.
What happens when Susie complains to Amazon because her chair shows up in a Walmart box and she realizes she was price gouged?
You get banned, that’s what.
