What is Slingly?
Slingly is an e-commerce automation platform that basically helps you in selling products without you having to hold any inventory. You earn a good commission every time your product is sold.
Slingly claims that it has partnered with several manufacturers, who pretty much take care of everything including shipping.
When you subscribe the Slingly Pro subscription, you get access to product catalogues that come inclusive with thousands of readymade products across the categories – t shirts, mugs, press, bags, shoes, sneakers, pet products, and many others.
With barely a few clicks, you can directly sell these products on Amazon and Etsy and earn a profit. What’s even more great, you can easily apply DFY (Done For You) designs on these products to make them look attractive and thereby boost the chances of their sales. Slingly Pro subscription offers unlimited DFY designs, also known as print-on-demand products.
Is Slingly similar to Shopify and Dropshipping?
In a way, Slingly has a lot of similarities with e-commerce platforms like Shopify and dropshipping platforms like Ali express. Similar to these platforms, it helps you in setting up online stores and selling products without holding any inventory.
Pros & advantages
- Selling products is extremely easy on this platform. With barely few clicks, you can easily sell products and earn good commission. You don’t have to be tech savvy or have any past online selling experience to use Slingly.
- Slingly is seamlessly integrated with popular platforms like Amazon, WooCommerce, and Etsy. This makes selling products extremely easy and also increases your earning potential.
- Overall, it has a very friendly interface. You don’t have to go through any training or steep learning curve for selling products on this platform.
- You get access to nearly 32 product catalogues with apparently best-selling prices.
- You also get access to limitless access to DFY design or print on demand templates (nearly 65,000 designs). You can easily apply these DFY templates on any products and sell them at best possible price.
- It also provides extensive training modules on how to attract traffic on your e-commerce store and generate sales and leads. Additionally, it also provides tones of video tutorials on how to efficiently run Facebook ad for attracting quality traffic to your e-commerce store.
Cons & disadvantages
- Slingly’s biggest disadvantage is the fact that it does not come across as a credible e-commerce platform. You won’t find many reviews about Slingly on the internet, while the few reviews we came across were mostly negative reviews.
- It isn’t only about lack of reviews. Even Slingly’s official website raises a strong red flag. The website is loaded with many hyperbole statements, while the website’s overall design is pretty tacky.
- It lacks recommendations. Ideally, when a platform is recommended by several industry peers, it invariably increases the credibility of the platform. Slingly literally has zero recommendations. At least we didn’t find any. This again raises a major red flag.
- Several negative reviews that we come across specifically complained about Slingly’s poor customer service.
Conclusion:
It will be entirely wrong to make a sweeping statement that Slingly is a scam or is not a legit platform. However, due to many red flags and apparent risks as discussed above, we recommend all the readers to be judicious or exercise caution while subscribing to Slingly. You can subscribe to the monthly subscription plan and try it out for a few months, which will settle the debt about whether this platform is a scam or a genuine money-making platform. But we strictly advise not subscribing to Slingly’s lifetime plan as you will be charged a pretty hefty price for the plan. Unless this platform gains credibility, it is recommended to stay away from the lifetime plan.
