Investigating Dominic Tay’s Bestseller Income Course
starewhatstare Uncategorized September 17, 2019 33 MinutesNOTE: For those out there who’ve attended Dominic Tay’s course and wish to share about your experience, regardless of whether you found it positive or negative, be sure to contact me at [email protected]
It’s a long read so I’ve included cliff notes at the bottom.
“Hi there, Dominic here.”
If you’re a Singaporean who watches YouTube, you definitely will have heard of this line time and time again. You probably have got a rough idea of what the man who owns that line does as well. It is likely, too, that amidst your annoyance, you probably have raised your eyebrow and thought – ‘is this guy legit?”.
For the ones out there not in the loop, Dominic Tay is Singaporean who’s part of the lucrative course selling industry. He advertises an Amazon eBook selling course through his YouTube ads in which he is quick to let his audiences know he is a self-made internet millionaire who wants to share with others his recipe for success.
But Dominic’s intentions, along with that of other course providers, haven’t been too well received. A screen grab of Dominic’s ad is featured on Annoying YouTube ads: SG starter park, and browsing through Reddit’s /r/Singapore one will be likely to find mocking comments mimicking his ‘Hi there, Dominic here’ introductions which has become a meme. Some of your friends might have even done it in person.
Apart from Reddit’s /r/Singapore, fuckwarezone community, a Singapore-based forum, had expressed their disdain as well. Warning about stocks/forex guru trading courses in the market, a running blacklist contributed by its forum’s members has Dominic’s name included, along with other persons they deem phony.
I, too, shared the sentiments of the online communities. Yet, as I did my research, I could not find any substantial evidence which backed mine as well as the community’s views. Most of the accusations seemed to be mere speculation by ones who had not attended his course. If Dominic’s course was indeed dodgy, wouldn’t there surely be dissatisfied accounts of attendees lying around?
I wanted to find out more.
On 9th July 2019, I made my way up the tenth floor of International Plaza, and entered a room which spotted the logo of Ace Profits Academy. I was about to attend the preview session of Dominic’s Bestseller Income Seminar, a course which sold the idea that one could, without writing expertise, publish eBooks on Amazon for a profit, and which, in Dominic’s words, was ‘easily valued at S$5,000’.

“Look at the top right corner of the form. Do you see a price tag of S$4,995?” Dominic asked.
“Would you like me to give you a very special discount?”
“Yes.” The majority replied.
Dominic then instructed us to strike out the S$4,995 price tag with our pens and change it to S$2,499. The room rose to a stir and the next thing I knew attendees were queuing before a table where a row of NETS terminals lined up as if the clock struck 12 commencing Black Friday.
