What’s a proven business model that works time and time again?
More specifically, product arbitrage + influencer shoutouts.
(Which is what dropshipping revolves around).
Weirdo fashion kid Ian Connor understood this well when he released his debut shoe line in 2017.
Who is Ian Connor?
He started as a tumblr fashion kid who made a name for himself in lookbooks with his unique style.
Rappers such as ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, and Kanye West all took notice and recruited him as a stylist.
Ian also started working with Kylie Jenner and Virgil Abloh.
Having built his web of influence, he decided to launch a product.
Enter “the Storm”.
It’s damn near an exact replica of the Vans “old skool”.
(Only it has a lightning bolt on the side instead of a stripe).
- Ian took what was already selling
- Put his own twist on it
- Marked it up from $54 to $200
- And had his influencers model them to increase hype + awareness
The stage was set.
When he dropped the product, it sold out in 3 hours and made $515,897.73.
A lot of people cried out about how stupid it was, but Ian laughed all the way to the bank.
In Fact, All The Hate Became A Viral Word Of Mouth Campaign Of Its Own.
Kid 1 -> “Look at this guy ripping off Vans!”
Kid 2 -> “OMG Kylie Jenner has them!”
Sale made.
You see, this online business stuff doesn’t always have to be super logical.
Stuff that appears “stupid” on the surface can scratch deep emotional needs.
The one thing that always wins out is a deep psychological understanding of consumer behavior.
Why is why I created a special training.
It tells you exactly how to map your market’s psych, so you can drop nuclear bombs right in the soft spot.
As you’ve realized, technology may change, but human nature doesn’t.
Even if dropshipping somehow died tomorrow, new biz models would emerge out of these core principles.
Let me be crystal clear:
This is dangerous high-level information I wouldn’t want the wrong people to get their grubby paws on.
Which is why I’m sharing it with you, my trusted reader.
I’d rather someone smart like you sees this kind of success than some random prick.
I also know how overwhelming it can be sorting through info that doesn’t end up making a difference.
Anyway…
