According to her Youtube channel and official website, the protagonist of this advertisement is Ellen Lin, an American Taiwanese who was born in Taipei in 1982. When she was 14 years old, she immigrated to the United States with her family and currently lives in Los Angeles . Ellen said that she has grown up since childhood. I just like to play video games. After graduating , I successfully entered the dream game industry . At that time, my monthly salary was as high as 3,900 US dollars, which is almost equal to 110,000 Taiwan dollars. It seems to be a smooth life, but Ellen said that he lives in this day-to-day office worker. In 2009, she gradually lost her enthusiasm for life . Unfortunately, in 2009, she was laid off by the company. His father's business also had problems, and the economic situation plummeted . So in 2011, she decided to start selling products online. According to her , After four years of hard work, she started with $600 without any e-commerce experience. After four years of hard work, she finally built an e-commerce company with an annual income of more than one million US dollars. Ellen said that she later wrote this inspirational experience into a book, not only In one fell swoop, she became a best-selling author on Amazon and blogs. She was also reported by many media, such as ABC, NBC, and Taiwan's "Business Week" who interviewed her. She also said that in order to help more people like her People She decided to make a course on the secrets of running an e-commerce business, claiming that both novice and veteran can rely on her course to learn the secret of making money! Well, what are these courses all about? 【What is the course content? ] According to the information we found, Ellen's way of making money is mainly to use a cross-border e-commerce service called FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon). Warehouse, and then sell it on Amazon Ellen said that as long as you can find "niche products" that no one has found, that is, the so-called strange little things, you can buy low and sell high for a small cost to get huge profits. The EllenPro website provides two courses to teach you how to do it . The first is the free course that is often mentioned in the advertisement, and the second is the paid course "Million Dollar Golden Formula " . , contains eight chapters that will teach you to find niche products, how to set up a company , how to market, how to build a brand, etc. And buy courses, you can also join their private Facebook group You can directly tutor Ellen or teaching assistants online , etc. According to According to Ellen, the entire course was originally worth 19,000 US dollars , but if it was purchased at a discounted price, it would only cost 1,888 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 56,000 Taiwan dollars , etc. The course of more than 50,000 yuan does not seem to be cheap. , is it really worth it? [The course is super good? 】 After we did some homework hard, we found that the evaluation of this course on the Internet is almost all one-sided push, over push, push push! Most people mentioned that the content of the course is very solid and Ellen is very enthusiastic in answering questions. Everyone thinks it is very rewarding. They feel that running an e-commerce business after the course is more effective with less effort, etc. Hey, that sounds pretty good, right? But if we look more closely, there are some things that are not quite right. For example, most of the articles that publish good reviews of Ellenpro courses are concentrated in the two months of December 2021 and January 2022, and these articles are not only very structured . Similar, even the points mentioned are very similar. Another point is that although these articles all praised Ellen's courses as very helpful , they did not mention any of their own actual operation process and experience . Other articles in the blog also all It is an introduction to eating, drinking, and having fun. The nature of the article is quite different . Of course, based on the current evidence, we cannot directly say that there must be a problem. To evaluate whether this course is worthwhile, we must go back to the course itself. See [EllenPro's Course Questions? 】 According to some critical articles we found, the biggest doubt about Ellenpro is that she talked about cross-border e-commerce entrepreneurship too easily! Like his most famous set of "selling niche products" tips, of course, it's beautiful in theory , but in reality , it's not that easy to think of a product that is very profitable and no one has discovered. And sell it on cross-border e-commerce, We also have to face strong price competition pressure, as well as the difficulties of import and return costs, cross-sea transportation, etc. Therefore, there are critics who think that Ellen's course is too simple and ideal for e-commerce entrepreneurship, and even only emphasizes the bright and beautiful. Some, misleading , others pointed out that Ellen used as an example of a niche product, like this diving knife strap... Well, these two look completely different! Moreover, she mosaics the store and product names, and it is difficult for ordinary people to verify whether her statement is true. This involves another question. Is Ellen Lin's experience really as beautiful as she claims? [Experience may not be so beautiful? 】 According to the information we found, there is actually something wrong with Ellen's claimed experience, like the one just mentioned, because Ellen is reluctant to reveal the name of his store, and there is no way to confirm the so-called "million dollar e-commerce business." "Does it really exist? I don't know if she really earns that much. Also, her so-called "Blog, Amazon best-selling author" may also be a bit ambiguous. In the blog section, we haven't seen her provide any Evidence And the Amazon part, her e-book is indeed on the top 100 bestseller list in the "Auction & Small Business" category. Is that really great? Well...it may not necessarily be that there are many "guides to teach you how to get on Amazon's bestsellers" on the Internet. These guides all mention that as long as you put your book in a niche category, because there are not enough competitors, so It's easy to push a book into the top of the category . How do you know it's a niche category? One way is to see how the top three in this category rank in the total ranking of all books. Generally speaking, if the top three are within 5,000 of the total ranking, it means that this is a very competitive category . If the top three ranks After 20,000 in the overall ranking, it represents a relatively unpopular category . The "Auction and Small Business" category where Ellen's book is located has the highest ranking book in the total ranking of more than 50,000, indicating that it is a super unpopular. Category And Ellen's book itself, the ranking of the entire e-book is more than 600,000. Again, Ellen said that she had been interviewed by Business Weekly, but carefully looked at the screenshots she provided, which clearly marked "Guangdong Planning" Said that this "interview report" was actually just an advertisement that she paid for herself. However , the above behaviors are more likely to be misleading without fully revealing the information. Strictly speaking, they are not lying Fraud? 【Is EllenPro a scam? ] Whether Ellenpro is a scam or not, it has to be discussed at two levels . The first question is the part of the course. If the courses or services provided by Ellenpro today are different from the original agreement , there are eight chapters in the original, and only six chapters in the end. Then this would be considered a civil "debt non-performance" legally, not a fraud. The second one is about her personal experience. If anyone thinks that Ellenpro may have false advertising , exaggerated or not fully disclosed information , or even positive Fake academic experience to lure people to buy courses, it is suspected of fraud However , even if she is really falsified in her academic experience, the prosecutor or judge must first confirm the "study experience she has doubts" and her "actually sold courses" Whether it is related to "core" is more complicated to determine, depending on the situation of the case. In short, as long as Ellenpro really completes the course and provides student consultation services according to the description on her official website, then her academic experience may be a little bit. Misleading, even if she has a bad class or the students feel completely useless after the class , it is actually difficult to constitute a "fraud" [Our point of view] Our team wanted to do this topic at the beginning, because like everyone else This ad is unbearable, I don't understand why Youtube is pushing this stuff with a strong sense of fraud to me! Then in the process of checking the data, we accidentally found that the operation mode similar to Ellen is also very popular abroad. There are many so-called e-commerce gurus abroad who will also use a very confident exaggeration. Say how I used to be like you, but relying on e-commerce secrets, I have now become a successful person with super wealth and freedom! As long as you join my course, you can become like me! And what they do is usually to smash commercials on Youtube. The villagers can't stand it when they wash it. They really feel that the visual sense is very heavy . Thinking about it carefully, this kind of enrichment course is actually not very new. Things like some direct sales, investment consultants, etc. that many people have heard of are actually in a similar way, targeting everyone's desire to change their lives, and making profits by exaggerating the experience or course content. Of course , we can't bite. Death said, this must be a scam . There may also be really powerful teachers , and there may also be students who really made money from it, or learned the knowledge they want, but I still want to remind everyone that it’s not wrong to want to change yourself through learning, but After all, learning still costs money, so before you want to take a class, you may do more assessments, check the course evaluation and the teacher's background . If you find that the teacher's publicity experience has many doubts and cannot be verified, it may be a problem. This is a dangerous signal. Of course , if you can go directly to a more reliable teaching unit or online course platform to take classes, this may be a lower risk and more secure approach. Finally, we also want to ask everyone. Finally , If you like today's video, please share it and let more people know what _Ellenpro is_! In addition, you can also click here to see the _Youtube lottery advertisement and the discussion of _FB shopping scam_ Then, today's Zhiqi Qiqi will come to an end here . See you tomorrow night!
