What is the Counterintuitive Approach That Made Two Entrepreneurs $40 Million In A “Saturated” Market?
This is the same formula that’s responsible for:
- A single product launch that attracted an enormous waitlist of 56,000 people.
- Getting Manny & James into Forbes 30 Under 30.
- Amassing 1.4 million followers on Instagram and partnerships with influencers and celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Tammy Hembrow, and James Charles.
- Eventually allowing Manny and James to sell Alya Skin for a massive (untold) sum in just 5 years.
Reader Beware: Your Brain Might Not Be Ready To Accept How “Against The Grain” Their System For Ecommerce Success Is.
And that’s why most people will never even know it exists.
But for those who’re willing to do the work — this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Trending Products Formula is a counterintuitive approach for quickly finding a highly profitable and trending ecommerce product that could be a bestseller. Allowing you to ultimately replace your 9-5 full-time income without you wasting your life savings flying completely blind.
We achieve this by using an unconventional yet proven “Idea Scorecard” system designed to help you instantly find trending “hero” products that you can sell long term and which still sells even if “someone else is already doing it”. Now you won’t have to worry about wasting time and money because you’re “too late” to a trending idea or overwhelmed by look-a-like competition.
And as a result…this single hero product frees you up to control your time and enjoy your life while having a simple, highly profitable online business you can run from anywhere in the world – this is the Finding Trending Products Formula.
Start & grow your dream business for as little as $1.36/day.
The “Finding Trending Products” Formula Is A Shortcut To Predictable Sales
Before creating the Finding Trending Products model, Manny and James were overwhelmed with potential ideas without any kind of certainty of which one would actually work. They felt like they were “guessing” and had to go all-or-nothing just to have any kind of hope for success.
They even took a new product to $600,000 a month in sales in its first three months, only to have the market completely turn and sales fall off a cliff. Now with an even more limited budget, they simply couldn’t afford to be wrong.
Most Of The “Conventional Wisdom” Was Theory And Did Not Work
And that’s why most people will never even know it
Which led them to questioning everything and eventually turning the entire ecommerce model upside down, breaking all the rules and creating “hero” products which were not just highly profitable, but driven by a well-defined purpose.
After years of frustration, experiments, mistakes, and figuring everything out the hard way – without anyone guiding them, they finally figured out the fastest and most predictable way for new entrepreneurs to launch six-figure online stores with a single “hero” product.
This helped Manny sell his first business for a million-dollars before he was even 20 years old… Then years later, this formula has now been responsible for over 500,000 customers, $40 million in sales, and over 3,000 stockists worldwide.
Now, you have the opportunity to duplicate the entire life changing ecommerce system they built by investing in a course called Finding Trending Products.
Here’s How The Finding Trending Products Formula Work
Start & grow your dream business for as little as $1.36/day.
Who Are James & Manny?
Following their counterintuitive approach and by breaking all the “rules” of traditional advice, within one week of launching Alya Skin, their new skincare brand had already hit the $50,000 sales mark. Four months later they crossed 7-figures.
Four months later they crossed 7-figures. Then by the end of the first year, they’d already done $4.5 million in revenue with no signs of slowing down.
From unknown to Forbes 30 Under 30, these two Melbourne best mates became Australian beauty-brand moguls all by leveraging a proven, step-by-step “trending products” formula that rested on finding a single and simple “hero” product.
So proven in fact that this same formula allowed Manny to sell his first business for a million-dollars before he was even 20 years old and helped the two of them create over 500,000 customers, $40 million in sales, and over 3,000 stockists worldwide.
Now they’re sharing it all. If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed by which idea to pursue or defeated because someone did it first, this new Finding Trending Products system could help you find a product that sells!
