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

There's a sucker born every minute or something akin to that.

It's funny how his geniune ads keep getting banned by FB's AI with no recourse but to argue with a robot. I've heard similar stories before too. It's truly wtf.

The only way to make money on drop shipping - like most “make money on the internet”schemes - is to sell courses teaching others how to set up Drop shipping.

Classic example of "Don't Try to Mine Gold When You Can Sell Shovels".

I used to run a dropshipping business. Me and my ex partners made good money. We made 50k USD of sales for our best month.

However, after sometime I realized that it would probably not be sustainable, because its not very defendable and tariffs are springing up left and right. The nail in the coffin was when me and my ex partner had an argument.

Is it possible to make a lot of money with dropshipping? Of course, but like everything valuable in life it takes time and efforts.
