Here we go again! It’s another review for a ClickBank product. This one is called Ecom Profit Sniper. We know how the last sniper product went. Of course, I’m talking about Kindle Sniper. (Psst. In case you missed it. It didn’t go well.) So just based on the name alone, I’m not feeling hopeful for this one! But let’s dig into it. What is Ecom Profit Sniper? Is it going to make us rich, rich, rich with just a few clicks of a button, or is Ecom Profit Sniper a scam?
We’re going to get all up in this product, but first I just want to give you the opportunity to learn how to legitimately make money online through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is what I do, and it’s my favorite way to make money working from home because there are many benefits, including:
- Work on your own schedule
- Work from home so you can be around for your family
- No income limit (it’s only limited by the time you put into it)
- You don’t have to deal with customer service
- You don’t have to hold any physical products
- You get to help people find solutions to problems

What is Ecom Profit Sniper?
Product: Ecom Profit Sniper
Cost: $37
Owner(s): Tom Parker (Fake name and probably not this guy. This name would be much cooler if it were Bob Barker.)
[yasr_overall_rating size=”medium”]
As soon as I click on the video, here’s what I see. We are in for it, people! We’re already in red flag territory.
This is not about:
- Trading
- Stock market
- Bitcoin
- Cryptocurrency
- Anything illegal (well, there’s your one positive thing about this product.)
You don’t need:
- Any special skills
- Online experience
- To spend hundreds of hours hunched over your computer
Almost nobody knows about this! (Yea, right. We’ve heard that one before.)
I just like this slide because it’s funny. That fire kills me.
You make money when you want to make money. Tom says this sounds too good to be true. (Um, I’m sure it is!) But he’s made over a million dollars of “easy profits” with this system.
You won’t believe how easy it is to make money! (hahahaha)
(I’m sure this system is sooooo different. They ALL say that.)
Now we come to my favorite part – testimonials!
Testimonial Lady 1 says she didn’t know anything about ecommerce, and now she’s making over $40,000 every month.
Testimonial Guy says he’s managed to make over $10,000 in just days! Wow!
Testimonial Lady 2 says she’s made over $500,000 in one year using this website!
Remember up there when it said this sounds too good to be true? Um, yea. It is. These are fake testimonials from actors. You will likely find them on Fiverr.com, where we find all of our other testimonial actors.
People on TV use paid actors too. But, there should at least be a disclaimer that these are actors so that you don’t get duped. Since there’s not, I’m here to inform you! 🙂
Back to the show…
You only need to spend 20 minutes a day and you can make up to $500,000 a year.
Tom goes into his story. I’ll shorten it for you. He was making tons of money in the early 2000s. That strategy didn’t work anymore. He worked 16 hour days. His wife got sick. He contacted an old colleague who told him about Shopify.
Of course Tom’s story was way more drawn out, but I wanted to save you 10 minutes of your precious time. 🙂
And now I’m going to save my precious time by skipping the rest of the video. I think we know enough!
How Does Ecom Profit Sniper Work?
Tom did say he was going to show us how the system worked in the video. I skipped past it. He told us this is about Shopify, and that’s enough for me to know. Shopify is an ecommerce store where you set up an online store. Internet marketers use dropshipping to sell goods on their ecommerce store.
According to Shopify, “Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the merchant never sees or handles the product.” You can read more it here.
Ecom Profit Sniper has training based around dropshipping. Check out this video from Phillip at ipoopcash.com to get a look inside Ecom Profit Sniper and see what they are offering.
Basically, as Phillip mentions, you will learn how to set up a shop, but they don’t teach you the most important thing – how to get traffic to your shop! Without traffic, you have no one to buy from you.
Is Ecom Profit Sniper a Scam or Legit?
While I wouldn’t consider Ecom Profit Sniper a scam, I also wouldn’t recommend it. First of all, the sales video was ridiculous and full of hype and lies. Let’s go over some of those red flags:
- Saying this is a little-known secret. (it’s not. Plenty of people are dropshippers.)
- Saying it takes just 20 minutes a day to make $500,000 a year. (Hell no. That’s never going to happen!)
- Using fake testimonials. If this product was so good, they could use real testimonials.
- Saying you don’t need any special skills or online experience
- Showing large income results and implying it’s easy for you to get those results, too.
Secondly, while you could learn the basics of dropshipping with their product, you’re not going to make any money with it because they’re not teaching you everything you need to know. You need to learn how to get traffic, otherwise you’re just wasting your time and money.
Dropshipping Versus Affiliate Marketing
I do know that dropshipping is a legitimate way to make money online. I don’t personally have experience with it, but I know that people do very well. If you want to learn more about dropshipping, I’m sure there are way better, more in-depth courses out there. I would start with free information on YouTube and go from there!
However, I’d like to talk about the differences between affiliate marketing and dropshipping. As mentioned above, affiliate marketing is my #1 preferred way to make money online. I listed some benefits at the top.
I’m sure people who are passionate about dropshipping would say that it’s the superior business model. Maybe there’s room for both. And maybe I’ll try out dropshipping someday in the future. For now, I find affiliate marketing superior because of one thing…
I don’t have to do any customer service.
I used to work at a company called GSI Commerce back in the day. We managed websites for businesses like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Modell’s. Since it was a start up when I first joined, we all had to “volunteer” (mandatory volunteering) to work in customer service during the holidays.
I only did it a couple of times. But it was enough! lol
I would much rather let someone else who’s better trained handle that end of things. I love just pointing people in a certain direction to help them find the thing they need. Customer service is handled by the business that’s providing the thing they need. This is a win-win to me!

Don’t have time to read now? Pin me for later!
Must say Ecom profit Sniper seems to good to be true. I totally agree with you regarding Wealthy affiliate, it’s the best place to learn affiliate marketing! So glad I’ve found WA. I had my own drop shipping store before, but since I stay in South Africa the time it took for products to get delivered took two months! So It did not work out for me with clients breathing into my neck regarding their items not being delivered swiftly.
It’s nice to hear from another person who has experience with drop shipping. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you, but I’m glad you landed yourself at Wealthy Affiliate!
Christina,
Ecom Profit Sniper sounds like all the rest of those scams out there that I have fallen for the money this guy is making is coming from selling you something that is not usable in real life. On top of it all in order to have a drop shipping store with Shopify this costs you even more money after the first 30 days and he leaves that part out as well. I am with you and want to learn exactly how to make money on line and I did join Wealthy Affiliates as a Premium Member but the best part was it cost nothing and I do mean FREE to join for the first seven days to really see what can be done.
Thank you for revealing another scam from the internet world,
Susan
That’s true, Susan. I didn’t think of the extra costs of having a Shopify store. The starting costs for that are $29 per month, and it goes up from there. Plus you have the hassle of dealing with customer service issues. Maybe some people would enjoy that better, and that’s cool. It takes all kinds to make the world go round! If you want a business that’s a got a bit less hassle, then I would definitely recommend affiliate marketing!
Really like your website it say the truth about a lot of the fake affiliate programs that are out there. I also agree that Wealthy Affiliate is the best place for anyone to go and become a true marketer. We have to remember that there is no shortcuts to success, we need to keep looking for what is real and true. If anyone see “become a millionaire over night most likely its a scam. Nothing happens over night especially in business.
I can’t 100% call Ecom Profit Sniper a scam since they do give you some training for your money. It’s scammy the way they use fake testimonials and huge income claims and make you think it’s real.
For sure nothing happens over night. A real brick-and-mortar business takes time to gain traction and customers and it’s no different with an online business.
Hi Christina;
eCom Profit Sniper is a fairly new “money making” program on the internet, an another program that promises great earnings for little work specifically, dropshipping.
If you take a look at the eCom Profit Sniper website, you will probably hear the founder talk about his “Secret” again and again.
So what do you get when you spend $37 as fees that the owner charges to gain access to eCom Profit Sniper?
I love all these “secret” systems and “money loopholes” that are out there. Meanwhile, there are no secrets and there are NO loopholes. Making money online is no different than making money anywhere else. You have to put the work in to get the results! It’s just better to work online, in my opinion, because you get to set your own schedule. But it still takes work!
There’s a video in the article from Phillip at ipoopcash.com that explains what’s inside the system. It’s basic training videos that go over setting up an ecommerce drop shipping store.
Hi Christina, I can’t believe these websites still exist claiming to make this kind of money in a short amount of time!
I mean $500,000? Who even makes that in 5 or 10 years?I would avoid this ECom like the plague!
You did an excellent job of reviewing this scam I must say!It’s amazing to read these things and watch these fake videos and think that a normal person would fall for something like this.
I’ve been through my share of scams. No thank you!I’ll stick with Wealthy Affiliate!
Haha, I know! It seems crazy to us that anyone would fall for these sales videos. I just think we’re used to seeing them. If you’ve never seen one before, you could very much think that those testimonials were real and that the income claims are legit. That’s why I’m trying to spread the word. Everyone needs to know what they’re getting into with these systems.
Hi Christina
Just the headline from Ecom Profit Sniper – that you can make $500k working just 20 minutes a day – is really all I need to know!! As you so rightly say, that can and will NEVER work!! And when the guy says it sounds too good to be true – well, he is spot on there!!
I am totally on your side – I agree that Affiliate Marketing is the best way to make money online. I did once try drop-shipping using Amazon and Ebay, and that did work so far as it went, but it was not really for me.
But anyone can make Affiliate Marketing work so long as they really know what they are doing, and the best way to learn that is by joining Wealthy Affiliate. As you say, they teach you everything you need to know in order to make your Affiliate Marketing a success, including what is probably the most important aspect of it – how to get traffic to your website, and also the fact that there is always help at hand when you need it.
I bless the day I came across Wealthy Affiliate, and since I joined I have never looked back, and I hope that anyone reading your post will take your advice and check it out.
Very many thanks for your really helpful post.
Chrissie 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Chrissie and sharing your thoughts! I’m glad you found your way to affiliate marketing and Wealthy Affiliate and enjoying it. I know i’m biased, but they are the BEST! Where would I be without the training there? Probably sitting in some boring ol’ gray cube somewhere bawling my eyes out from boredom. lol
Thank you Christina for this article. I’m glad and appreciative when I read reviews like this. I was once scammed of $50 for an online product that was not worth it. I fell because I couldn’t come across any reviews about the product easily.
I’ve never heard of Ecom profit sniper before and now that I have, I don’t think I’ll be trying it. As for dropshipping, I hear many are earning from it, but I haven’t tried it either.
Affiliate marketing seems more like something I can do. I’m still learning for now.
I’m sorry you paid $50 for a product that wasn’t worth it. I think we’ve all been there. I know I certainly have! I fell for a few of these products back in the day. That’s why I want to help others avoid the ones that I know will be a waste of time and money.
Christina, as I scour the internet for ways to make money from home, I am thankful to run across reviews like yours that give me a heads up to potential scam artists. Thank you for writing this article.
I tried drop shipping back in the 80s then soon drop shipped myself right out of it! The problems that I had with drop shipping were that if the shipper was slow, I would start getting calls asking where someone’s product is. If the product was broken on arrival or defective, I would be the one getting the angry phone calls and emails and if the customer wanted a refund, I had to refund the money because they paid the money to me.
If my return policy is not as stringent as the supplier’s return policy, I might have a real fight on my hands to get my money back for this defective product, which I never even laid eyes on.
So, when you’re on the outside, drop shipping looks amazing, right? It looks like all you do is mediate the transaction. Ads like this only tell you about sales, but you have to mediate ALL transactions and trust me, there are way more transactions possible AFTER the sale than the one you mediated to make the sale.
What a hassle and I thank you for putting this review out there! Your review and Philip’s video reminded me of why I got out of that business model! Even once I decided to quit, it took 90 days to clear residual transactions with consideration to credit card cancellations and my return policy.
I hope your review will steer everyone who reads it clear of Profit Sniper and any business model like it!
Wow, John! I’m glad to hear from someone who’s experienced drop shipping. It sounds like it was not a great time for you. Those are exactly the types of things I worry about with this business model. I know people do great at it and are very successful, but the stuff you just wrote about scares me! lol
Affiliate marketing is so much more chill in that regard. Maybe you can make more money drop shipping (maybe?) but it seems like more of a hassle and not worth it!
