People that spend a lot of time on tiktok, ig or fb will get exposed to making money "gurus". They all sell courses and one of the most popular ones claim they will show you how to make money "dropshipping".
Most people watch those clips and they see the guy claiming that all you do is get a shopify account, find products that sell on amazon, go to alibaba, and connect them automatically and the supplier automatically ships. I gave you one version of the story, different gurus have different themes but the keyword is, dropshipping.
Most people never actually try it or work with people filing bankruptcy so they think it works, it's easy. It's like in the late 90's people were convinced that you can buy a home or building no money down. They all saw the same commercial and didn't really know all the details.
People that know I own domains ask me all the time why don't you just set them up as a dropping shipping site? They are not idiots, they just spent a little too much time watching those guru videos. Some claim they know a guy that had nothing, started from nothing and now does dropshipping and makes money while he travels the world on a private 777 escorted by f35's and a SpaceX rocket.
Do some people make money dropshipping? YES, do some people make money playing poker? YES, do some people make money handregging names? YES, do some people make money in crypto? YES.
MOST DO NOT!
Setting up a random site with dropshipping is worthless. However, for people that spent too much time watching social media gurus, dropshipping is the new way to make easy money, it is not, it is a good way to make money selling courses to the sheep.
