Rainmaker FamilyReviews of therainmakerchallenge.com

I found the experience to be really helpful and thorough. There are a lot of great tips along the way that are easy to follow and put into action.

The guides, the members freely offering tips and suggestions, the constant encouragement… even for a non tech person… they all made the course easy to follow

I have gone through a few of your Rainmaker Challenges/Boot Camp and have learn from each program. The Rainmaker family is true and honest group of individuals. The step-by-step processes you share with use are very helpful in understanding the process you share in building an Amazon product business.

I’ve really enjoyed the Rainmakers course! One of the best features for me is the self-paced option. Since I work during the day and can’t always attend the live meetings, having access to the videos at my convenience has been a game-changer. I love that I can learn at my own pace and still keep up with all the valuable content. It's perfect for anyone with a busy schedule!

Can’t say enough about the rainmaker family. One of the best program out there. Don’t hesitate to join on one of their challenges they give prices and you will gain so much knowledge. I took one of their challenges on social media for Free just because I had been in other challenges before. I haven’t join their matermind program because of my husband but hopefully I will be able to changed his mind this time. 🙏🙏🙏

I joined the Rainmaker program in Nov 2022, believing that The Rainmaker Family & their team genuinely had my best interests at heart—especially since they target moms seeking time & financial freedom. As a single Mom who works full time, this was music to my ears. Unfortunately, I have since realized that this was extremely misguided. I ultimately decided I had nothing to lose by putting myself in debt to join their program because of their "10K Payday Guarantee." They market this as a safety net, promising that if you fail to generate 10k in sales, they will pay you that amount. They advertise that they have never had to pay it out, however, the criteria required to claim this guarantee are incredibly unrealistic, often relying on factors you have no control over. The real reason they have never paid it out isn’t because no one has tried to claim it, but because they deny every request. My first inkling that this process was not as easy or affordable as they marketed it to be was as soon as you get into the program you start learning about all the expenses required to set up a business & all the subscriptions & memberships they ‘recommend’ to be a successful Amazon seller. They try to upsell you all kinds of extra resources, which I later found out they get kickbacks from. Outdated training videos: Researching products & buying samples is the easy part, but once I was pretty deep into the program of actually trying to create my listing & launch, I realized that many of their training videos regarding these steps were outdated which resulted in delays until I called Amazon for support. Profitability calculator: The calculator provided in the course is very basic & does not include the majority of expenses you will need to launch a product. It does not account for samples, photography, graphics for listing images or A+ content, or PPC to name a few, & certainly does not account for paying people to help you create listings or manage your PPC if you choose to outsource. (Outsourcing a lot of the responsibilities is critical if you want this business to be truly passive.) PPC: advertising is essentially a must on Amazon, especially at the beginning. This is a MASSIVE expense & is not brought up in a significant manner until you are far too deep into the program. At that point, you either have to learn PPC yourself or outsource it to someone else. (They again make upsells to companies for kickbacks) There is no way to accurately estimate how much PPC will cost for each product but it can eat up your profits quicker than you can blink. They sell this to you as being temporary & I bought into it as the cost of launching a product, realizing that sometimes it takes months to rank organically on Amazon & not need so much PPC. While that is true, PPC is a fact of life on Amazon & is still my biggest expense. They recommend your profitability % to be 30-40% but in reality, it needs to be at least 50-60% to account for PPC. They also encourage you to spend a ton on PPC at launch to rank on page 1 which, if successful, will get you to 10k in sales quickly, therefore nullifying your need for their 10k payday guarantee. (Did you catch that trick?) Regardless, after the ‘launch period’ you will most likely need PPC to some degree forever & there is no way to estimate what that cost could be as it can change each month. The reason I want to stress this so much is PPC can be a HUGE factor in your take-home profits. If you rely solely on their calculator to estimate your actual profits to budget paying back loans/credit cards you used to make your initial investment you are SCREWED. This fact alone is what causes most people to struggle to get out of debt. It is so easy to see those numbers & think you can easily pay a credit card back when in reality you will not bring home anywhere near that amount after all the launch expenses & PPC. And don’t forget you have to have $ on hand to place a reorder for your product when you are low on stock. It is a vicious cycle of hemorrhaging money to stay afloat. I was initially impressed with the program so the onslaught of new members leaving positive reviews makes sense. It took months to get far enough along to start seeing the shortcomings. Still, I had bought into the mindset & continued to push to launch more products believing that I would break the cycle & become as profitable as the profitability calculator implied. Sadly, now that I am far enough into understanding the big picture of running an FBA business on Amazon, it is now crystal clear that this program was extremely misleading. LAUNCHING a product on Amazon is pretty easy to do, but building a profitable business on Amazon is a whole lot harder than they advertise it to be & is far from passive. It is not the rinse & repeat method they teach. Buyer beware!!!

They are honest and trust worthy people. They show you exact clear outlines of what to do. Improvements this time, probably because it was a live event or it’s a better rhythm now, when there were Support questions, they got answered within the hour instead of a couple days. There are a ton of emails that come out from different aspects of the program so I did get confused sometimes, but they do provide a lot of info. I did feel singled out at one point in a bad way…by being told to put my baby in a swing some where, so I could pay better attention and it was by a guest speaker so not actually Stephen and Chelsey. I don’t have a problem not paying attention when I normally have 6 kids running around and manage the entire household and at that particular point I had one baby, an empty house and I was actually getting to sit for 2 hours that day, paying attention wasn’t a problem. Anyways moved on since I’m doing this for my family and that’s the only thing I’m focusing on, I’m going to make this happen one way or another even if it’s during a ‘night shift’ of kids in bed. Stephen and Chelsey are all about putting family first and mama’s accomplishing their goals, so I don’t think that’s their heart. I am confident in the support provided in the Mastermind Program they’ve created.

Rainmakers provide the best and most efficient way to get a step by step guide to becoming an Amazon seller. It’s incredible the amount of support and encouragement they give to keep you going!
