1. What makes Anton's course stand out from the rest?
Not all dropshipping courses are equal.
I've reviewed plenty of them and trust me, this course proves that.
The biggest difference from Anton's DSL course is that he teaches high ticket dropshipping as opposed to the low ticket dropshipping most courses teach.
This course is laid out in the following 4 sections...

2. Does Drop Ship Lifestyle work?...what Reddit says...
It's easy for haters to go online and write fake reviews, nothing new.
That's why you can't believe everything you read.
Let's take a look at what's negatively been said about Anton and DSL.
This redditor definitely hasn't taken the course and seems like he's just had a bad experience with other online courses.
His gripe might be with the business model he chose though.
I will agree with what he said about passive income.
Nothing is 100% passive BUT, there are ways to earn an income much more passively than others.
He's another comment...
This person mentions that they purchased the course, and after a few hours of skimming through it, wanted a refund.
It would have been smarter to just do better research instead of paying for it in the first place.
This last comment is...special...
It has no weight to it.
At least research the course and course creator before judging.
This lead generation coaching program I joined in 2014 totally worked and allowed me to quit my 9-5.
3. Course cost & refund policy
Your basic investment in this course is $3,497 for DSL Premium.
There are two other options depending on what you want to do which are...
If you now were to want a refund, you must first prove that you completed the following tasks within 30 days of buying the course...
- Select a niche
- Find 20 suppliers
- Build a website
They won't allow you to get a refund if 30 days have passed since you bought the course.
So, make up your mind within that time frame and be sure to complete those tasks.
4. What high ticket dropshipping is & how you succeed
High ticket dropshipping is the type where you sell high quality products which are targeted for a more affluent demographic or audience.
More often than not, products are considered high ticket if they cost over $500.
That number might change depending on who you talk to though.
Anton refers to selling "evergreen" products which simply means that the products will always be in demand.
If you're able to find and focus on selling these products, you should always make profit.
5. How much do you need to get started in dropshipping?
Surprisingly, dropshipping can cost you a lot or a little.
It all depends on what you want to do.
Anton explains what the right and wrong way to dropship is in the following video...
6. Why people stay away from dropshipping
Initially, when people think of dropshipping, they immediately think it's expensive.
As you saw in the video above, it all depends on how you go about it.
Other reasons people stay away from dropshipping
7. Drop Ship Lifestyle Key Points

Automation is key these days because if you can help make scaling your business easier.
8. Real reviews of the Drop Ship Lifestyle course...
We checked these accounts and confirmed they're real.
The Reddit member below bought the course years ago (obviously when it was much less expensive.)
They thought they got good value for the money at the time.
I'd be super curious if they'd feel the same now that the price of the course is much higher...
This next review is from another student who actually linked to an interview he had with Anton.
This seemed like a more honest, real review of the course with some truth regarding the dropshipping business model and what to expect from it.
9. Is DSL's take on dropshipping worth it at all?
In all honesty, it's not my favorite dropshipping course, simply because it's very theory based.
I like that Anton's take on the business model is different.
But, I have to wonder why he's purely concentrating on his online course nowadays, rather than the business model he advocates...
I'm one for facts & figures and all the other dropshipping coaches boast about the turnover of their online stores.
Anton doesn't....why?
Can the Drop Ship Lifestyle method work today?
Yea it can, but the biggest problem isn't Anton's course....
It's the business itself.
10. I've had success with dropshipping but why I don't mess with it anymore
I sold high-end deck umbrellas a few years ago.
It had its ups and downs (which is only to be expected).
Most of my success was dependent on my advertising campaigns though.
The reason why most dropshippers prefer to sell trending products is that it converts a lot better on Facebook.
With evergreen products though, you can end up burning through your wallet testing different ads, to see what works.
This takes up a lot of your money and time.
That is not good especially with FB ad cost rising.
As they say, time is money.
11. Local lead generation...the alternative to dropshipping
There are many online business models out there to choose from.
- You're not looking for a get rich quick business model that isn't sustainable
- You want to permanently change your life
Local Lead Generation
|
Dropshipping |
Local Lead Generation |
|---|---|
|
Requires CONSTANT attention You're always going to be searching for new products. Then expect to have to run, check, kill, or scale your ads. Don't forget the customer support you need to provide |
Hard work at the start You put in all the effort in the beginning. It does take patience to see the results of your efforts, and this is where a lot of rookies quit (big mistake) |
|
Marketing budget To sell your products, you're going to have to run PPC ads on all platforms including Google, Facebook, Pinterest etc. |
What marketing budget? FREE organic traffic so you never have to pay for advertising |
|
Competition cloning Anyone can easily steal your entire business (website, products, ads) within a few hours |
Competition? Nah... Once you've ranked your site, no one can steal your business. You own the site (digital real estate) |
|
Product sales You're usually selling trendy/seasonal products. It changes all the time... |
Lead are in high demand Lead gen isn't dependent on a fad. It's a service that businesses always need |
|
Longevity? Dropshipping is a short-term business model. Trending products reach a saturation point within months and you have to start the process over again |
Long term It's not going to go out of style or disappearing for as long as the internet and small businesses exist. |
|
Income You never know what you're going to get from month to month. Success depends on a lot of variables, such as the products you choose, advertising, and competition |
PASSIVE INCOME Once your sites rank, you earn monthly recurring passive income because you don't need to fuss too much with it afterward |
This site has been making me $2,000 per month on auto-pilot since 2015!
That's why lead gen has out performed all the dropshipping businesses I've attempted over the years.
Ranking organically on Google to generate leads for local businesses is the best way to earn a monthly recurring income.
After all, you do all of the work up front.
Once your site ranks and pulls in leads for your clients, there's not much else you need to do.
It's a win-win situation for everyone involved and less of a hassle than selling physical products.

I had researched on this and the reason why he offers a course now exclusively is that dropshipping requires a lot of time to keep it going. The laptop lifestyle sure, but, you can’t maintain the business while you’re traveling around. Creating a profitable course about drop shipping is a lot easier than working in it daily. This is why the 2 courses with two different prices and constant updating. Let’s say 5000 crazy people buy the $8,997 package. That works out to $44mil+ cash. So what he has actually done is create a complete business model for $8,997 with the support included.
Summary drop shipping is profitable if you buy his complete business package for $8997.
I see. Have you bought any dropshipping course or do you do dropshipping, Mark?
DSL is ok for beginners, but a lot of his content is lacking actual real-world case studies and actual things that work. His niche selection module doesn’t give you what you actually need to start, he just tells you to ask your friends, check your credit card statement and brainstorm ideas… wow, thanks Anton! Another thing his that his shopify theme is not very well optimized for conversions, you have to do a lot of work to make that theme convert well, and it loads slowly… its basically a modified version of the Shopify supply theme. The google shopping course isn’t even taught by him but his friend who owns an agency, and its missing key steps for profitability which I figured out on my own and through communication with other high-performing ecommerce store owners through masterminds. The automation module just has “ideas” not actual actionable how to tutorial videos like you would be led to believe. Then, you’re left on your own to either purchase coaching from a group of coaches in which half aren’t even doing high-ticket drop shipping anymore but amazon fba… and their forum is just endless amounts of beginner confusion… their top contributors aren’t even successful… you might be able to launch a store using this course, but most people who do aren’t successful unfortunately. I decided to create a way better, more in-depth course so people could actually get what they need to succeed with high ticket drop shipping, and even though I was a partner with Anton and an affiliate with him at the time, he decided to kick me out of his course completely claiming I copied his course, and he also kicked me out of the other courses i bought from him, thousands of dollars worth, with no communication besides sending me a copy of his privacy policy. he is a shady guy even though he looks super friendly on his youtube channel. he is buddy-buddy with Johnny FD! he has had him at almost every retreat he has done. Johnny is also known as pick up artist Johnny Wolf (readers can just search that on reddit to read all about that guy’s shady past taking advantage of women). It’s just a group of people you should stay away from and my goal here is to warn people out there who you are deciding to learn from and associate with… Unfortunately, he was one of the only guys with a good-enough course on this stuff up until about a year ago when just about every one of his successful coaches and students left the DSL tribe because of Antons big falling out with all of his coaches, and start their own courses and tribes and groups. So now you have lots of choices for better training and better people to work with. unfortunately for most people, anton is really good at running a webinar and selling via email, so for now he will most likely still convince a lot of people to sign up with him. beware of someone who is really good at running webinars and selling but doesn’t have any real world examples of successful drop shipping stores he runs himself…
