Hi... I joined Take Risks Academy back in Nov 2021. I saw the guy driving around my town in his cars. So I thought, het lets try this.... Outlay was about £400 I think, and then £55 per month for 'mentoring' he set up my shopify shop, and populated with crap goods in the 'niche' of my choice. There was ZERO assistance or guidance for the first few months. Just automated repsosnes and automated ' GREAT JOB' etc etc etc ... As this went on I dived deep into everything E-commerce and it became then obvius that this 'acadmey' is a con. A well marketed con. And there is hardly ANYTHING online about him... I had to join this UKBF to write this. As there is no other info about him. And this is making me very mad.... Do not invest in this guy. S
Just had my experience with this guy as well, he's a scam, and it's hard to prove as there's not a lot of information about him apart from his IG which looks good, but I agree with what you said here, it happened exactly the same with me. Please raise some awareness about always take the risk,

I was on his programme in November 2021. Louis gave me the most basic looking website with some of the sketchiest suppliers around set up. Some suppliers had 6 week shipping time and some had liquidated within 2 weeks of the site handover.

His advice was always incredibly obvious. His teaching programme consists of him telling you what steps to take next, then you replying when you have done the task. It is painfully slow paced. The first milestone is literally ‘make an Instagram page’ and then you wait 3 days for his reply and the next task is ‘post a photo’ with absolutely 0 description of what should be in the photo, then wait another 3 days and so on and so on.

I’m pretty sure it’s intentionally slow paced to keep you hooked and get you to pay the subscription for as long as possible.

I genuinely don’t think he gave me a single piece of value that couldn’t be found from common sense.

One thing Louis’s programme was good for was keeping accountability for my progress, knowing that the £60 per month was about to go to Louis gave me motivation to get off my backside and make it work.

Eventually after around 6 months or so, and I genuinely believe Louis had no part to play in this as by this point I had changed the site entirely and found my own techniques, I managed to get the site to £2k pcm. The amount of refunds was insane. Think one month around 50% of my orders were refunded due to them either taking too long or the product quality being poor. I asked louis for help on this and he gave me a link to some generic e-book which is basically how to ignore customers and refuse refunds 101.

Packed it in after that.

Has anyone tried Louis Cooke dropshipping is it a scam or genuine?

I’m asking for a freind of mine who has just been made redundant and is looking for a change of direction.

Thanks.
I can vouch that dropshipping does work, I’ve been doing it for the past2 years and now have 3 websites all doing £15-20k per month individually.

As for courses, I’ve never paid anybody as you can learn everything for free.

Best places for free content - Twitter and LinkedIn.

Selling courses to help others is a great idea but I’m sure there are also a lot of scammers out there. To add; you can give 100 people your strategy (secrets of success) but you can guarantee that less than 5 will ever achieve anything.

Most people interested in dropshipping think it’s a doddle and lack motivation and determination.

There has never been a better time to sell online!
