Reco Jefferson is the founder of Roughnecks Ecom, a company that specializes in Amazon and Facebook automation.
To sell on Amazon or Facebook Marketplace, there’s a lot of things that you need to know.
Product research, sourcing those products from the right supplier, customer service, handling returns, things of that nature.
“That is what my team will do for you,” Reco says, “so you guys can rest easy knowing you don’t have to stress about all that stuff.”
“Just let us make the money for you,” he says.
Reco continues, “Now, what you need to be concerned about is what this is gonna require from you, right?”
“Because most people think this is 100% passive, but it’s not.”
“When you’re placing an order for 50 different items for 50 different places, guess what? Your bank is more than likely gonna flag that as fraudulent.”
“So, I will need you maybe 5, 10, 15 minutes out of each day, in case the bank flags your card and you have to call them and say, ‘Hey, I have a reselling business, these charges are good to go,'” Reco explains.
“Other than that – a few calls a week – you won’t really have that much to do.”
“You’re really just sitting back and watching the process unfold while me and my team do everything for you, okay?”
“And that means everything, all the rest, as far as selling on Amazon or Facebook.”
So you’re talking:
- The whole selling experience
- Customer service
- Picking the products
- Vetting the suppliers
- The whole nine
It’s all on Roughnecks Ecom. That’s what you’re paying ’em for. Like Reco said, their job is to make sure that you make money.
What’ll the timeline look like?
Well, the only way you can start dropshipping immediately is if you already have a seasoned Amazon seller account.
If you do, they can pretty much get things rolling the same day you sign the contract.
If not, like say you still have to set up your LLC? That can take a couple weeks in and of itself.
Then you need a business bank account, which can take a few business days.
Then you gotta create your Amazon account and sorta hand the controls over to the Roughnecks Amazon Automation team, and they’ll take the wheel.
Crappy part is, from there, it’ll take Roughnecks three to four months to ease into a groove that Amazon’s cool with.
You can’t just slam the gas, right outta the gate, on new accounts. You have to prove yourself, over time.
So yeah, for brand new Amazon sellers, you’ll have to be way more patient.
But once the account is seasoned, they’ll switch from FBA to dropshipping, at which point you should start seeing some real profit coming in.
By the time you hit month eight or month nine, expect to be making $1,000, maybe $1,500 a month.
“Then, a few months later, when we cross that one-year mark,” Reco says, “that’s when things really start ramping.”
“You’re probably making anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 per month, and it’s really gonna be dependent on your capital.”
“Now, that said, what everybody wants to know is, what’s this gonna cost?” Reco says.
“Well, since we do not have a profit split, we charge $30,000 up front.”
“Then, instead of us taking any profit, there’s a $6,000 re-up fee every year. Which, on average, works out better for you.”
“But the more capital you have, the better you can do.”
“If you can’t afford that, you can do the cheaper option. You’ll pay $17,500, whether that’s cash or in Bitcoin, and your re-up fee will be $9,000 a year.”
“But, if you do that plan, you’ll miss out on suspensions getting handled, okay?”
“You would have to pay for that yourself, to attempt to get your account reinstated.”
“That could cost you $3,000 per time.”
“And the way Amazon’s going, that could happen once a year,” Reco admits.
“Veterans and first responders, we can work with you, we can give you 10% off. As you know, I’m prior military and I love helping out military folks.”
Talk about an outrageously pricey and dicey offer.
I dislike it intensely.
