I got sucked into watching a bunch of videos on youtube from drop shippers, and no one talks about profit, only about revenue. The more I watched the more convinced that the only reason these people are wasting their time posting these videos is that they make more money on their guides and tutorials than they actually make off of drop shipping. And then you can finally start to see the cracks if you watch enough. You see their failed experiments and realize that it's not uncommon to need to spend crazy amounts on ad spend, just to see if you can get any orders. And then you find out that most of these products have a lifespan measured in months. It looks like a total grind looking for new products that might turn a small profit, and hope you get another big one before you can't afford any more experiments.
- tootahe45 6y agoI learnt from the first 5 videos the real money is in selling get-rich-quick ebooks. Some of those guys even do $1000 consultations, i recall one of the top business guru youtubers had a bunch of people pay $25000 each for a 1 week in-person course..
