Tommy Rodriguez – Amazon Automation Empire’s Fake PR Articles

Tommy Rodriguez is the CEO and Founder of Amazon Automation Empire and a Photographer – Bio from Paid Articles
Tommy’s PR articles, which he has paid for, detail how he paved his way to success through amazon dropingshipping, which he claims took him seven years—with every article touting his entrepreneurial prowess. These pieces of sponsored PR articles portray Rodriguez as someone who had a rough childhood but worked from a young age to turn his life around. Even after landing high paying roles within the industry, he insists that it was his obsessive need to hone his skillset that led him down the dropshipping path, which he describes as his life changing times.
Rodriguez’s self-serving narratives delves deeply into the specifics of his claimed exploits, leaving no stone unturned as he expands on his unmatched knowledge of Amazon automation. Through his Amazon Automation Empire Program, he sells clients a service where he and his minions build, launch, and scale Amazon dropshipping stores in their names. But the glaring issue in this capitalist dream is obvious— if his claims is true, why wouldn’t he focus on scaling multiple stores for himself instead of wasting time selling his services to others?
His skills, claims, and accomplishments may be true, but it’s worth stressing that all of the online interviews and articles featuring him, and there are a lot, aren’t the result of independent journalism—they are paid promotions.
Mixed reviews have come Tommy’s Amazon Automation program. One Reddit user mentioned that their Amazon store got suspended while using his service. Moreover, Ippei’s article sheds light on the numerous comments referenced on social media where users are openly calling his services a scam. One More Social Media Account claims him to be a Scammer – https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoLU4tHZr3/

Tommy has also published his Paid PR articles on multiple platforms as a photographer. Why would he do that when he has so much to talk about regarding his dropshipping business? That is probably because there is nothing left to discuss and in an attempt to avoid repeating himself, he decided to label himself as a “photographer.” Below is a list of some Indian publications whose editorial standards are so low that for fee, they publish anything. These Indian publications simply charge $100 for the privilege of posting any text you please.
