They do have a free course that you can access in exchange for your email address.ĮCom Babes’ “free training” video is a scripted voice speaking over a series of stock videos. The only personal info Fletcher really shares are photos of her little dogs (which are super cute, btw).Īccording to Redditors, eCom Babes is an MLM company that requires a $3K investment. Less than 24 hours later, the entire page had been deleted.įletcher is the face of eCom Babes - she’s on Facebook, listed as a ‘Public Figure’ as well as an ‘Interest.’ Her YouTube channel, where she speaks on eCom Babes success stories, brand news, and mindset, has almost 5K subscribers. And, she’s got over 18K followers on Instagram. The company is not listed on Crunchbase, LinkedIn, or BBB.Įdit : When I first published this post, I included a link to a new Trustpilot profile that I created for here, hoping that Connective eCommerce program participants would write their honest opinions. Strangely, I couldn’t find much info on the founders, either. eCom Babes Company OverviewĮCom Babes (a DBA that I couldn’t find in the National Corporation Directory) was founded by Cortney Fletcher and Erika Constantine. No matter how shiny the packaging, there are no true get-rich-quick schemes, and connective eCommerce is not a guarantee for success. While you’re not in charge of product development or fulfillment with connective eCommerce, you are in charge of web development, pricing, branding, marketing, customer service, fraud prevention, policy creation, refunds & returns, chargeback management, and more. While all of this sounds amazing, you need to know what you’re getting into. The suppliers then ship the products directly to the customers. Here’s how it works: You add products to a website, distribute your offer across free channels, get customers, and transfer the orders to your suppliers. The business model allows you to put someone else’s products in front of your customers on a website that you build yourself, and eventually profit from.įurthermore, it comes without the need for inventory management, storage, shipping & handling, nor some of the many other headaches that arise when you run an online store. How Does Connective eCommerce Work?įundamentally, connective eCommerce enables retailers to move goods directly from the manufacturer/supplier to the customer, without the need to go through traditional distribution channels. And, it doesn’t much matter what you call it - it apparently works (but it is a little MLM-ish).Ĭonnective eCommerce is to dropshipping what Funnel Hacking is to market research but on a smaller scale.Īnd, the “no paid ads” part isn’t really true, since the connective eCommerce approach does involve paid social media ads after the business has income to reinvest. Many of Brunson’s Clickfunnels™ followers have successfully used the Funnel Hacking system for a decade.

Back in the early 2000s, Russel Brunson took a concept that was already widely known as “market research” and put it in a shiny, new box called “Funnel Hacking.” While the concept was not new by any means, his presentation made it seem groundbreaking, which got people excited. Let’s get some perspective on what I mean by repackaging.

(Several people searching the web have confused connective eCommerce with “ collective eCommerce,” which is probably just a clerical error.) As I see it, it’s simply repackaging what has long been referred to as “drop shipping.” It’s framed as a way to start an online boutique without a large investment. What is Connective eCommerce?Ĭonnective eCommerce is a term, coined by eCombabes, that refers to a method of eCommerce with no web developers, no inventory, and no paid ads. Here, I'll tell you everything I discovered - good, bad, and ugly. I had to know what everyone was talking about, so I dove in. When I first heard the term, I thought I might be missing out on a new type of approach, like omnichannel or collaborative retail.

Lately, thousands of people are looking for more information about a concept called Connective eCommerce. The world wide web is peppered with business offers to help you 'explode your sales,' 'make $10K in your first month,' and '100X your profits.' Rightfully so, most of them seem too good to be true. #shopify #dropshipping #connectiveecommerce
