14:35[00:03] courses. Either the course is sold to you directly by showing you a YouTube video or you are first sold a webinar of ₹99 and then in that webinar you are told why you should take their course worth ₹10,000 and after buying the course, the
[00:17] take their course worth ₹10,000 and after buying the course, the condition of ₹9% people becomes like this. Sounds Familiar You must have seen this somewhere. Well without wasting time in this video I will go through and review the top utars' money making, freelancing,
[00:31] dropshipping etc related courses. I will not target any YouTuber personally. I bought the course, spent the money and I can legally review it. So who is selling dreams and who is selling reality, my 8 years of internet,
[00:45] entrepreneurship and marketing experience will uncover everything today. No experience will uncover everything today. No filter, no BS, let's get proven. Well, first of all let us start with Dhruv Rathi 's online courses. So let's go straight
[00:57] to Dhruv Rathi's sales panel. And as you can see, Uber sells a lot of courses. There Uber sells a lot of courses. There is a course on time management and chat and there is also a course on GPT. There
[01:11] are many more courses available. So let us first buy Dhruv Rathee's YouTube Blueprint course. Dhruv himself has millions of followers and subscribers. So let's see or is it just theory. So click on Join Now and
[01:26] give the money to Dhruv Bhai. As You Can See Guys is a course priced at ₹6,999. So I quickly add my details here and I also got a coupon code by searching on Google. So right now the total is 4000 something. Let's pay this
[01:42] via UPI. You can see that the payment has been successfully processed. We have seen some such interface here. Now some people do such bad PR that you will even find them praising the interface that we have purchased the course and the after
[01:57] purchase feel of the course is quite good. It looks so beautiful. here, I am just talking about bed pad reviews. So now let's talk about the straight away course. Dhruv is telling us about How to Become a Uber in this course. The
[02:12] course is of total 7 hours as you can see and I have watched it completely sitting. From the complete introduction to the module on the road to a million followers. So first of all the course is very mid-sized according to me. Mostly theory is
[02:27] theory. You wo n't find much practical that has a real life use case. Things are so basic that you are being told that you should quit your job to become a YouTuber. How you adjust the lighting is up to you. Talk to the camera.
[02:40] How you should move the phone while shooting. You are also being told this. And all of the stuff you can easily find on YouTube for absolutely free. And there is some common sense in a person that if I want to become Uber and I want to make good videos
[02:52] then my background should be good. The lighting should be good. So why waste time on this thing? You should have covered this briefly. The script, of course, feels like it was written by a chat jeep. I don't know the actual story but
[03:05] I felt the same way. Very [music] basic. And the most important things are how to decide the niche? How to do niche research ? How to find topics that Which we also call outlines.
[03:18] How to do keyword research? Advanced Monetization Strategies has very weakly covered these things and many things have not even been covered. So as a customer of this course I would personally give this course 4.5 points out of 10. Let me tell you
[03:31] how you can get a better course than this for free. You simply go to You simply go to Basically a playlist. Many people might have given Rs 7000 instead of Rs 4000, in my
[03:46] opinion it is not worth it. Cool. Now let's move on to the next Uber or Guru. So now we will review Nishkarsh Sharma's dropshipping or e-commerce course. By making videos related to self- improvement and eCoq dropshipping on YouTube.
[03:59] Again Conclusion If you are watching this all I am doing is transparently reviewing a product that you have created which is ecom h. Nothing personal here. And by the way, for those who do n't know, I have also been in the affiliate marketing e-commerce dropshipping game for the
[04:11] last seven to eight years and that too in the US market, working with some of the biggest D2C companies. So let's start with the pricing of Ecom Edge Accelerator which will tell you how Nishkarsh and his partners have helped others
[04:24] generate revenue of ₹100 crore plus. Not Profit Revenue. But no, I am not judging in advance. The pricing of this program is ₹50,000 which is a lot of money. Even
[04:37] many outside creators do not charge this much. For example, the course of Bheja that was $297 was a course on dropshipping. So it is quite expensive. You will have to loosen your pocket. So the conclusion funnel is something like this that first you are taken to
[04:50] a webinar funnel for a nominal fee maybe ₹199 or something. And then finally you are pitched a high ticket program. Again, I am not targeting the conclusion personally. But these same types of funnels were used four years ago by
[05:04] people like Kevin David, John Christani, and even Dan Locke in the US market. And all of them were scammers by the way. But their kind of conclusion is not flashy. They divert traffic to their funnel through motivational content and business content.
[05:17] Which is very interesting. So let me give you a review of the entire course. So these are all the modules within the course. First of all introduction, here you are being told why you need a mentor, how mentors change lives and
[05:31] how dropshipping and e-com change life etc. Okay brother, cut to the chase, teach dropshipping directly or open your course with a very strong case study, open your course with a very strong case study,
[05:44] personally did not like it, many people may like it. Anyway, in the second module you are being told about product research. First of all, you are told that product is not equal to marriage. You don't have to stick to one product.
[05:57] And then how do you do product research on Amazon, which are the Amazon movers and shakers, which products are performing well on Amazon in a given time period. Through that method you are being told about product research.
[06:09] told about product research. covered. Which by the way you can also find on YouTube for absolutely free. Then again you are being told how to setup the store, you
[06:22] can easily find that on YouTube. This is not rocket science. Then you are You should watch my dropshipping video and your eyes will be opened. Well now he'll teach you about Drop Dash instead of Ropozo. The course
[06:36] not able to find the module where the lessons about Drop Dash are right now. But whatever may be the case, the fundamental reality is that you will get inflated product prices on platforms like Ropozo. Clumsiness, RTOs, all those issues will remain. That's why it's
[06:51] very important to use private supplies. Even in the US market I do n't use anything like Zen Drop Auto DS etc. Only private suppliers. Then there's their Facebook Guides module, which I found quite nice. I mean not that it's the
[07:04] best. You can get the same content for free on YouTube too, but it's worth it. And then there are but it's worth it. And then there are So what score would I give overall ? Pricing is three out of ten points
[07:17] especially for the Indian market. Now value for money can be subjective for anyone but I am not paying ₹50,000 for this. Introduction to On 10 felt like a very hard selling type of vibe to me. Product research part and aids again pipe on 10
[07:31] you will also get for free on YouTube. So should you avoid it? Should you consider it? and Should You Just Go Ahead and Buy It? Well, I guess avoid it? And if you want to buy a course related to dropshipping or Facebook ads, then you
[07:45] can buy Evolve Origins from Spenser. It is $97. They didn't pay me to say that. school community, so I am speaking as per my own understanding. That will be much better. And next we will review Ankur Variko
[07:58] 's courses. I open Instagram or YouTube. I see Ankur Wariko's ads two-three times a day. So you can see business idea. But where is the developer from? He also has a lot of subscribers on YouTube
[08:11] and spends a lot of money on his marketing on YouTube. Anyways we come to Web Veda which is a course platform by Ankur Bariko. And look here guys, this funnel is like Adam Andrew's funnel. Check this out.
[08:24] Compare both of them side by side. Anyway, a lot of courses are being sold to us here. As you can see save money and time with a. How to grow Lindin Pay? Money Management, YouTube, Freelancing et cetera. So brother, let's just buy the freelancing course.
[08:39] I quickly add my details and make my payment using UPI. As you can see guys the payment is successfully processed. And this is Vari ji's course. You are also given certification. If
[08:52] you do freelancing then how to do client hunting? This is more. What will you do with the certificate of freelancing course? I did not understand this at first. According to me, Varigo's marketing is traditional because there is a lot of certification culture
[09:04] in India. Anyway, someone else gives the walk around of the course and then in the introduction Ankur is there. The first three chapters seemed very basic to me. Find Your Why How to Find Your Client Profile Ideal Etsetra that will
[09:17] tell you anyone on YouTube for free. Then I thought that there is a client finding section, maybe it would be interesting. There may be some sauce in it but brother, no, nothing. For the price it's way too basic according to me. Meaning, literally in a lecture
[09:30] you are being told that for example there is a company called pepsio.com. Suppose there is a representative named Sakshi Verma. If you want to send an email to him and you don't know that person's email address, what should you do? Sakshi [email protected]
[09:44] what should you do? Sakshi [email protected] [email protected] Make guesses like this and one or the other you will definitely hit the jackpot. [laughter]
[09:57] Apollo. Also talked about. But according to me it's upsetting. So I completed the rest of the course in the same manner. And they did not cover the very important things at all. And they did not cover the very important things at all.
[10:10] overall I would give this course 3.5 points out of 10. So should you even buy this ? Well, I am smart. I will not buy. I leave yours to you. If you want to know properly how to get freelance clients then you
[10:24] can watch this video of mine. And the best part is it's absolutely free. Now next we talk about Ranveer Alabadia A's Beer Biceps video editing course. After being so disappointed, let us see whether we get anything here too or just get
[10:37] What is this BPL? Yes, kick the bomb. Anyway, brother, you have come to Ranveer Alabad's official website to buy his video editing course. I will not lie. I also really enjoyed this introduction video.
[10:51] Its editing is very crisp. And pricing starts from ₹1299. So let's see. Again I quickly complete my payment. And as you can see we are in the course guys. So after spending ₹1299 on As You Can See Guys
[11:05] we get access to two courses. One is 7 hours and one is close to 7 hours. So around 14 hours of content. Here is the course's table of contents. As You Can See is an introduction first, then photography. Then after that
[11:20] video editing then editing as content type then basics of after effects then edit breakdown and then reactions and bonuses. I found the first three modules edited. It is very well scripted and I enjoyed watching it
[11:36] and also learned something. By the way, if you are expecting Ranveer to teach you editing himself, then it is not so. expecting Ranveer to teach you editing himself, then it is not so. team takes over. This course also has a lot of reactions, which means the editor
[11:49] also has a lot of reactions, which means the editor breaks them down. So I liked that part very much. But if I talk about Premiere Pro and even After Effects, I have very limited knowledge about them.
[12:01] You'll find much more in-depth videos on YouTube. That means you will get even the entire playlist. So from that angle I don't think it is worth spending even ₹1299. But overall, if you compare and if you look at it
[12:14] from a zoomed out perspective, you will like the course a lot. I understood it at least but again you can watch this playlist completely if you want to learn video editing. This course is not special. And anyway, only the basic things have been
[12:27] covered. So pricing I would say 5 on 10. The content of the course is again 5 on on 10. The content of the course is again 5 on 10 and value for money I think 5 on 10, so I leave the decision to you. And now lastly let's move on to our wealth expert
[12:41] who is Sharan Hegde. Many of you might know him as Finance Vi Sharan. And looking at his Instagram reels, it seems that he has some magic in the world of finance. Jokes Aside Sharan Nothing Personal Just a paying customer of
[12:56] yours who will give honest review about your product. So brace yourself. For Those Of You Don't Know Sharan has a huge following across various platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Lindin. So Sharan is also using the same method. First
[13:08] a webinar of 249 something and then we'll see what happens. So we quickly make the payment to Sharan. ₹249 plus GST to join his Retire Early Masterclass. So let's do UPI and 293 something payment. And as you can see
[13:23] the payment is complete. Well, after making the payment, you get messages from Sharan on WhatsApp and emails from where you feel that everything is happening live. But then you realize that this
[13:37] is recorded. Well, in this ₹293 masterclass, you get to learn the absolute basics. Like how to invest money in mutual funds, how much to invest in FDs etc. You will find this content in any normal finance YouTube video.
[13:51] Or if you consult your CA, you will get the information easily. [Music] Then you're told how to save money by using credit cards, which the credit card companies themselves
[14:06] over excited over very small things, the past 10 years in the master class. It's 20% and something. Isn't that blowing your mind? Comment MB6 If
[14:19] Your Mind Has Been Blown. He said, okay brother, everyone knows this much. Anyway, I brother, everyone knows this much. Anyway, I then after that, it's the same story again. You are
[14:35] sold a Money Management Plus course for ₹22,500. A close friend of mine bought Sharan's program and he was absolutely not happy with it. So I did not think that I should give ₹22,500 to Sharan this time. Meaning I just can't do such basic things. And anyway
[14:49] not get any personalized support at all. Why? Because neither did my friend get it nor can you check the reviews on Trust Pilot. Many people have complaints. Again and again Sharan shows you his portfolio that look I have 16 crores invested. Whatever, I am not
[15:03] buying this crap. It might be gold for someone, not crap, but I'm not signing up for this. Anyway, I will give this master class three out of 10 points. For me personally it was a waste of time. Anyway, more than half the time there was
[15:16] Pilot Reviews Yourself. So brother, this is the reality of these gurus and online courses. There are two-four more, for example, Rahul Manan and Ecom Tushar, their setup also seems to be the same to me. So I leave the decision to you. And by the way you want to learn everything
[15:31] for free from affiliate marketing, dropshipping, content creation, ecom, everything please check out my channel once. I promise you will enjoy it. Why ? Because there is no [ __ ], no BS at all. And with this, if you have any
[15:44] questions or recommendations, please use the comment box down below. And with that being comment box down below. And with that being set I will see you at the top.
