I came across Mike’s free webinar on… I came across Mike’s free webinar on instagram and hesitated to actually show up because I’ve went to others in the past that just wasn’t informative at all. Mike’s webinar was everything opposite of that. He’s given out so much information in just the free webinar that I’ve taken and applied to my own business and it’s helped me tremendously. I now know what my focuses are, what I need to tweak and improve on and the aspects of my business I need to invest in more in order to hit the new goals that I’ve set for myself thanks to Mike’s help. I haven’t purchased a spot for his dope shot university yet because currently I simply can’t afford it right now but from the information that I’ve received so far regarding the free webinar, it’s been nothing less than five stars. Thanks once again Mike 💪🏾.

An Expensive Mistake My first experience with this is the "free webinar." It was a very informative session so I stayed till the end. It wasn't boring, it was really really REALLY GOOD! That's why I stayed throughout that 4-5 hour webinar. This is where he offered his "LIVE WORKSHOP" (Please keep that phrase in mind) that I purchased and paid in full. I have been looking for a service like this since all "classes/workshops" I find online, Photography related, are prerecorded videos where you watch it yourself and contact the instructor if you have questions and stuff. After his free webinar, I went ahead and signed up for his "LIVE WORKSHOP" priced @ $1750 for an "8-Week Accelerator Course." At this point, the only form of communication I had with Mike Nelson was via text message. After paying, I was then sent a contract I had to sign to get access to the website. (This is the mistake, signing it without FULLY READING the contract). In my defense, I was just excited to finally find a live service where I could learn from a "LIVE WORKSHOP" and not just some pre-recorded videos, so I went ahead and signed the contract to get access to the website. I was supposed to have an "Initial Meeting" with Mike via Zoom. However, I got my dates mixed up and missed this. He texted me with the same number he's been using to send text messages from, and I texted him in that number to reschedule but he did not respond. (He'll say it's easier to communicate with him through the web app he's using but he's sent message through texts) About a week has passed since that text and still no response, I went ahead and logged on to his web app (it was also at this point that I learned it's not a "LIVE WORKSHOP", it's just like any other classes/workshops available online just a lot more expensive), and messaged him to ask to reschedule and upon looking at the calendar, there's nothing that will work with my current schedule at the time, and it was gonna pass the supposed 8-Weeks (from the time I paid for the service). Given how I personally thought, he was not as responsive as I thought he would be, and that it has been two weeks from that supposed "initial Zoom meeting" we were scheduled to have, I went ahead and asked my bank to do a chargeback (remember that mistake I mentioned? Yeah, it's in the contract that you can't do a chargeback). To make this long story short, once you signed that contract, you're poop-out-of-luck. You have no recourse if for some reason you can not do the class at all. In my case, I spent $1750 for a log-in credentials that I can't even use anymore (only logged into his web app once to message him and look around the site) because my account is now deactivated by Mike Nelson or whoever is running his web app. *Side note there are four total reviews (five now including this one) for Dope Shot, two are 1-Star reviews, and the other two are 5-Star reviews that were posted the same day they addressed the two 1-Star reviews. Coincidence? Sure.

Mike Nelson of Dope Shot University is… Mike Nelson of Dope Shot University is a liar. I attend a free webinar on how to get more photography clients. At the end, he pitched a live workshop where he promised to give us the exact scripts he used to get clients. I purchased it; it was the exact same content he had given on the free webinar, then at the end, another pitch for another course where supposedly we would get the scripts promised in the first. Just endless upsells. This is a scam. Don't buy.

I also stayed for the entire webinar I also stayed for the entire webinar, and was promise free information if I completed a video informing Mike of how I enjoyed the webinar. They ask for us to give them at least 24 hours before they responded back. It's been over a week, and I've tried to reach them on face book, email, and text message. with no success. There is no contact number for this company which should be a red flag. Also If you stay for an entire webinar and promised a gift, there shouldn't be a stipulation for getting it. Information was good, but everything falls off the rails after that. Be very careful with this. I would build off the webinar info and move. Don't purchase

The BEST Training Mike’s training was probably the best photography training I’ve ever attended. He was incredibly detailed, engaging with everyone in the training, making it feel like he was speaking directly to you. His experience of over 10 years in marketing definitely shows, he’s an even better photographer than he is a marketer, which says a lot because his marketing skills are amazing. If you’re looking to grow your photography business, then you need to check out his training.
