Local Search is Less Saturated
We rank simple websites high in Google’s local search as below.
There are at least 50 niches that you can enter, and we can also choose from any other country or city. Each city has its own market.
Dropshipping offers us far more options than dropshipping because dropshippers operate in different countries. This means that you can compete with other dropshippers.
Local competition is limited to 20-30 local businesses, not the entire world.
Although it is easier to dominate a smaller market, in business this would mean that you will make less money. However, local lead generation does not matter as we can continue building sites in other cities and picking any niches to increase our income.
We are now taking advantage of the internet’s power, and we don’t have to stay in one place with a shopfront.
You could actually live in another country, build and rank websites in the US, and still get paid.
You don’t have to compete with giants when you can knock out 3rd-graders!
Local Lead Gen Success Is More Certain and Repeatable
We have a formula that Lead Gen uses to rank higher than our competitors in Google.
Backlinks, or links that you get from other websites, are a major factor. We are taught how to get these links ourselves.
We don’t wish and pray for #1, we know exactly how to get there.
It’s amazing that most of our competitors don’t know how to manipulate search in local rankings.
Dropshipping is a business that requires you to do two things well.
1. Excellent suppliers will enable you to offer competitive pricing
2. You must have lots of traffic to your website, which should be directed to your product pages.
Dropshipping was a way to make some extra money for a friend of mine. However, his conversion rates from fb ads were horrible, so his profits were very low. He had to spend so much to keep people coming back to his site.
If you are interested in becoming a dropshipper, you should either master fb ads or make sure your website is optimized with Google (seo) so that you can attract prospects and potential customers to your store.
**Warning! Drop shipping niches can be difficult to access for those who are just starting**
Why?
1. Dropshippers who are experienced have their ads dialed in, their site connected to Google, or both.
This business model is very difficult to sell. If you don’t develop a high-quality product that you can control, it is difficult to attract consistent traffic and fierce competition.
Ranking simple lead generation sites is my favorite because I don’t have to worry too much about traffic from people I don’t control. My tried and true system is all I use to get my backlinks, which allows me to rank all of my digital properties predictably.
After my lead-gen sites have been ranked, they can be left alone. They will continue to make money for me on autopilot.

Future-Proofing Local Lead Gen Is Much Better
Amazon FBA allows you to create a profitable business. But the question is: How long?
Companies constantly innovate new products to compete with the competition. At the end of day, Amazon FBA will determine which product is the best.
Most FBA courses teach you how to identify a niche market, source a product in China, and then create interesting packaging to make your listing successful.
This method is not the best, and the product you source is most likely not the most innovative on the market. There is also the possibility of a better product coming in and outpacing you.
Because you aren’t creating the product, your success is heavily dependent upon it.
My success with lead generation is dependent on ME.
My skills in ranking websites.
My competition is often like 30 plumbing companies so my competition is super low.
It doesn’t matter who holds the top Google positions.
Small businesses will always require leads. It will not go out of fashion.
As long as I keep improving my skills on ranking sites, I won’t be able to catch up to me in rankings. I will continue to be highly-demanded in the marketplace.
Therefore, I am always in complete control.
Local Lead Gen Success Is Much More Passive than Dropshipping
You simply need to be more involved in the handling of physical products. You will need to order inventory, talk with suppliers, deal with customs, stocking and shipping.
Dropshipping can be very passive.
This is why so many people choose to move from local lead generation.
A website that ranks on Google and generates leads is passive. It’s all digital.
Since 2014, we have led gen sites that we barely ever touch and make us money every single day.
There are 50+ lead generation sites that we have and they continue to generate traffic on an auto-pilot basis. Dropshipping can get complicated once you start selling a lot of products.
Since 2014, we have lead generation websites that still make us money. Dropshipping stores of this longevity are rare.
Here’s a limo company that has been paying me 6 years straight.
Rewarding Lead Gen
Dropshipping is essentially selling products that you source from Chinese manufacturers.
People are not going to be solved by your solutions.
You’re literally helping local business owners to survive and will be their loyal client. These owners are your partners in a win-win partnership. The more they make, the more you will make.
This kind of deal is a hit with everyone!
Because you feel fulfilled by what you do, you are happy. Although this may not seem important at first, it will be vital in the long-term. You will lose motivation if you don’t feel passionate about your business.
Because we believe in the power of local lead generation, it is important to build a personal relationship with local business owners so that you can feel the positive impact of your work. The business is more than making money. It’s about helping people and changing lives.
The Dropshipping Company is not your full ownership
Dropshipping is not your sole business, despite what any eCom guru might tell you. Shopify’s platform allows you to sell dropshipping products. You are therefore only part of Shopify’s business. This means that you can be subject to any future changes Shopify makes.
Other Problems with Dropshipping…
- It’s a constant struggle to get enough eyes on shopify stores. This is made harder by the many established sellers.
Some Shopify users had their Shopify shops shut down, even though they didn’t feel like they were breaking any policies
Dropshipping stores are subject to changing trends which can lead to inconsistent income.
Local lead generation is what I have to keep my websites.
Google isn’t going anywhere.
I am in complete control of my assets in my lead generation business.
Shopify Dropshipping allows you to purchase many pieces that you don’t own. Although you can build an email list of customers eventually, it can take several months and you will need to invest a lot of money upfront for Zuck’s advertising platform.
Despite these limitations, it’s still worthwhile for most people to shop on Shopify. They started early and have their store up before the competition.
If you are able to generate your own traffic, or local lead generation, you can take control of every aspect of your business. We prefer this because we love having full control.
