Most of these courses are very outdated tbh.
AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay, Amazon… the platform itself is not the real issue.
The real problem is people picking products without any data.
In 2025+, what matters more is:
1. how many stores are already selling it
2. how fast demand is growing
3. whether ads are still fresh or already burned
I stopped relying only on “manual browsing” a long time ago.
Now I usually check product + ad data first, then decide where to source.
Tools like FindNiche help with that since you can see Shopify/TikTok products
that are actually selling, not just random listings.
Still need manual validation, but it saves a lot of time.
