Ecomm Specialist Certification FAQ
Do I need something to sell before joining the test group?
NO. If you don't have anything to sell, the test group will help you find a product or service. And if you're already selling a product or service, the test group will help you sell more online.
What type of businesses does this work in?
EVERY BUSINESS. There's not a single business in the world that doesn't benefit from the internet. Of course, some businesses are better than others. But the important thing to know is ecommerce is revolutionizing all types of the major industries, including travel, real estate, services, retail, and more.
When will the test group close?
SOON. This will not be available forever. I open and close test groups for multiple reasons. The first is to only let in people who're serious about joining. No tire kickers allowed. The second is because a smaller test group allows me and my team to focus on helping those who make it in. The test group improves over time based on the results of the students.
Will this help me get a job?
YES. Ecommerce specialists will be in huge demand. In fact, they already are this very moment. The demand will increase over time. The Ecomm Specialist Certification is superior to college for one key reason -- college doesn't know a damn thing about selling online. If you want to learn ecommerce, it's best to connect directly with experts.
Does my location matter?
NO. Ecommerce is happening all over the world and it'll only get bigger over time as more people use the internet. You can live in one country and sell in another. It doesn't matter. You can also choose to set up an ecommerce business in a less competitive country than the US. It's up to you.
What happens after I join?
You're in! You'll be the first to access the training as soon as it's released. Because this is a new test group, expect a small delay between each new lesson. To give you an idea of the coursework, SMMA® (a previously launched test group) had a dozen videos when it was first released. It now has over 70 hours of training from dozens of instructors.
How much time will this take me?
4 MONTHS. That's how long the training is designed to last. How much time you actually spend on the material is your decision. I recommend a minimum of 20 minutes a day. The videos will be as quick and to the point as possible. If you're short on time, you can skip ahead to the training you're most interested in.
Does this only work for physical products?
NO. You'll master how to sell anything online. It could be a product OR a service. You can use what you learn to start a store, become an affiliate, or have a competitive advantage when looking for work or pursuing a better-paying position at your current company.
