The article hits on this a lot, and if you look up the main subject (Mike Vestil) on Google, some of the first hits you'll see are videos from him like "TURNING $2 INTO $500000!" Ironically, even Mike himself in the article says that he hates that part of the dropship culture.
But if you really want to see how prevalent it is, take a look at r/dropshipping. There's tons of posts trying to sell courses, or Shopify themes, or a new commerce platform, etc. There's an entire "get rich quick" industry that's aimed at targeting other "get rich quick" dropshippers.
- Balgair 6y agoIt feels a lot like this Key and Peel skit, but more bro-y: http://www.cc.com/video-clips/xqcrmn/key-and-peele-con-artists http://www.cc.com/video-clips/xqcrmn/key-and-peele-con-artis...
- ganstyles 6y agoOh my. I checked out that Reddit group. There are people making posts trying to sell something, and in the comments people trying to sell the original poster something different. It's turtles all the way down.
- tfehring 6y agoDo you know of any courses that could teach me how to sell dropshipping courses to wannabe dropshippers? I'll pay $$$. /s
- colinjoy 6y agoThat should be easy. You’ll find plenty of “master classes” on online marketing from the same snake-oilers. They might actually fit the bill here, because the only thing they teach you, if anything, is how to push useless, digital content to suckers. source: I know someone with a proper addiction to this stuff. Think 6-digits “invested” in “life-changing material”... ;(
