This was the big week of the Underground Success Summit. There was about 8 hours of recorded material. I started watching the first day morning session. Did not finish watching as it was talking about Amazon Private Label & PPC which seemed much more advanced tactics. Switched over to day 2 where the morning session was talking about finding suppliers. This to me seemed to be a very valuable session as he talked about going 5 and 6 levels deep with looking for suppliers. I have watched it a couple of times and have been taking notes but so far have not been able to act on any of it as I have been very busy at work. I knew that was going to be an issue when I signed up for the course but I just told myself try to do a little each day until my current work project is complete and I can devote more time to the training.
Have had more orders cancelled and refunded with the Buyers Club as a result of them being unable to fill them. On a positive note the turn around times on cancellation have really shortened which allows me to try to order something else. This means nothing however if no orders ever get filled. As stated earlier the Buyers Club is a complete failure up to this point. I wonder if anybody is getting any orders fulfilled.
I made my first money on Amazon. $41.59 to be exact. How did I do this? Not by selling anything.
Amazon actually lost my first order of 4 units from the first "give them a fish" products 7 Figure Cycle provided me with. They paid me what they thought I would have made had I actually sold the products. That will make a great story someday if I can actually make this work.

Day 106 My 7 Figure Cycle Journey
May 11th 2018
Finished watching session 13 replay. Talked about how to help products that are moving slow sell faster. Also shared some Keppa secrets and talked about how to use trade shows to our advantage.
First 20 minutes was discussion by one of the moderators about some of the issues they our having. I guess there was some heated discussion in the Facebook group by members who felt we are not getting the whole story and that things were put together somewhat haphazardly. In the end some people were kicked out of the Facebook group.
I can tell that those behind 7 Figure Cycle seem genuinely upset with some of the problems that are being faced by members.
I'm not sure what is true and what is not true so the best thing I can do for myself is just to know what is going on with my own experience and then move on to what is best for me. A couple of things are not going well on my end. I have not had one buyers club ordered fulfilled for me since I was admitted into the buyers club. One of the topics that was addressed was the amount of time that it takes for members to be notified that an order in the buyers club cannot be filled. in this Buyers Club post the slide provided shows that it should take anywhere from 2-10 days to be informed that our order cannot be fulfilled. My orders have taken as long as 20 days not counting weekends before I was told they could not be filled. One of the things talked about was their desire to reduce this time frame and indeed the last few orders have been shown to be unavailable in 6 days. So they have improved on that account.
There is no question in my mind that the much bigger problem is the inability to get even one order filled. The Buyers Club was talked about a lot in the beginning so for it to not be working as planned is huge. There was no mention that I remember of how they were going to solve this issue just that they were going to work on shortening the time frame in which we were told products would be unavailable. In my opinion that is the much smaller of the two problems they should be tackling.
The second and just as big of an issue is the "give them a fish product". I was suppose to receive 2 of them and it wasn't until the 28th of April that I even received the first one sorta of. I signed up January 26th for this program. I received a message I guess from Amazon stating they had received 4 units of my first "give them a fish" product. I saw it go live about 20 minutes later and then it disappeared. It's hard to figure out but it looks like my 4 items of the product disappeared or something from my Amazon account. I'm still trying to figure that one out. Haven't heard anything about product 2.
There will be training this week in anticipation of the upcoming Underground Success Summit that is coming up next week. Not sure what it is all about. I will watch it but am planning on being really about getting sidetracked . From what I understand they are not trying to sell anything just maybe explaining some different business models. I need to make sure I remain focused on getting products ordered and sent to Amazon whether through the Buyers Club or suppliers i find on my own.

May 13th UPDATE: Shortly after I finished up the above received a email from 7
Figure Cycle.
"After much deliberation and exploration of different avenues, we’ve been forced to shut down the 7FC Facebook group due to illegal marketing activity and illegal data scraping happening within the group which we’ve been unable to control.. we’ll explain more during the Live Success Summit next week.

Before you panic, we’ve got an alternative, which we think will actually be BETTER…
In the next 10 days, we’ll be opening up a NEW community that ALL members will be able to join (yes, regardless of where you’re at in the system, you’ll be able to participate).
The new community will offer:
– Organized content conversations
– Ability to search and find useful discussions
– New ways to post messages (since we won’t be limited by Facebook)
– Ability to ENSURE illegal activity does not happen (this is to everyones benefit)
– Ability to search and find useful discussions
– New ways to post messages (since we won’t be limited by Facebook)
– Ability to ENSURE illegal activity does not happen (this is to everyones benefit)
There will be other positive spin-offs as well, we’re very excited about it!
So again, what we’re doing here is removing Facebook (because we have to) but replacing it with something we think will be FAR more beneficial to everyone who really wants to grow a long term, scaleable, sustainable business.
Now, we KNOW that Facebook is easy for many people, as most people already have a FB account already. However, combatting the criminal actions of a few rats has just proven too difficult for us (and for Facebook). We will encourage you to join and participate in the new community once it’s active.
Finally and this is very important, to ensure that YOUR RIGHTS and YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION is protected, any spin-off Facebook groups related to 7-Figure Cycle that pop up will face legal action and will be shut down immediately. You MAY NOT under any circumstances create a FB group that uses any part of the ‘7 Figure Cycle’ name.
The ‘powers of be’ at Facebook know exactly what has been happening, and it was actually them who alerted us to the issue in the first place.
We thank you for your understanding, and look forward to announcing the new community very soon."
Also today was finally able to visit with someone from Seller Central about my first :give them a fish" product which had seemed to disappear once it reached Amazon. What the lady told me was that Amazon has lost the 4 units somewhere in their warehouse. She told me someone will contact me after they have done their investigation.
More to come.
