#4...dropshipping isn’t just about pushing buttons. It requires a skillset.
If it didn't require a skillset, then my idiot brother-in-law stands just as much a chance at success as I do. If it didn't require a skillset, then the smart entrepreneur will hire a bunch of folks with no skills who will consequentially work for cheap, and make them do the drop-shipping. But as another comment on this page said, the real money is selling courses to people that think the road to riches is paved by button clicks of unskilled people.

Which is just a “do it on the internet” twist on basically all get rich quick schemes that aren’t pyramid or Ponzi.

Exactly. That's one thing drop shipping and MLMs have in common.

#8I thought we debunked this whole idea of dropshipping like 3 years ago??? How are influencers still making dollars from tricking people into this?

#9In summary: FB ads don't work. If you want to sling cheap product you're going to have to be more interesting than generic ads, the people left without adblockers are pretty desensitized.

#10Thanks on your article. It was honest. You didn't try to blame anyone else, nor yourself. You found the market bad, and the ability to find a "killer" product harder than many "you can get rich doing this" promoters wrong.
