The weird, get-rich-quick world of dropshipping
Many "successful" dropshippers simply sell success. That is, they make claims about how much money they're making, and sell courses or coaching to unwitting marks. And if their marks' stores don't pan out, they an always offer the "advanced" course, the "super secret" formulas, just give me another $3000 please.<p>There might be a few bros out there doing well at this, that is, actually selling things to consumers, but mostly it's selling inessential products to indifferent consumers at tight margins. There's nothing wrong with dropshipping as a business model, per se, but there's a lot of hype and shadiness going on in these circles.
