The only people who make money off dropshipping are the ones who sell videos on how to do dropshipping. If you do it, just find free content on youtube. Do not pay these scammers.
I have 0 clue about the industry other than it seems it breeds low educated people that pay money to make other low educated people make big money off selling courses.

I looked into it pretty hard a few years ago not long after covid forced everyone into a consumer mindset. In my research the market is extremely saturated.

Amazon will take nearly all drop ship companies. I wouldn't recommend it.

You can't possibly be clean to believe this shite. My 12 year old thought this was a good idea for about two hours until I found out about it.

years back you had legitimate courses on RE, trading, businesses, etc. not to say there were not scammers....there were.....but not on this level.
social media is out of control. now there are tons of so called gurus selling stuff for amazon FBA, shopify, options trading, RE, and on and on and on. you will never know who is legit or a scammer it is so saturated and with social media i'd bet most are scammers now trying to make a buck off you being it is so easy now with free advertising on social media. They do not have to pay for any late night infomercials on TV or ads in magazines like years back.

Not to mention this shite has totally ruined Amazon. You can't find a decent thing on there anymore. It's all Chinese shite with random techy names. It is quickly turning into the likes of Wish, Temu, and Shein but with better shipping.

that is debatable these days, I actively avoid Amazon because of all the cheap Chinese crap on there that can not be trusted.
Now they are pivoting to an ad based business as well. It is only a matter of time before Amazon itself is out of the selling of goods business altogether and the whole website is just third party shite companies buying their way to the top of the search list.

What is Amazon doing with all of these warehouses they are building

Shipping third party seller packages. They are basically the middle man now

If you wanna sell products via drop ship then you might consider doing a start up as a government assist procurement service. Most government facilities and a lot of military facilities (air force/army bases, etc) You order things they request via their procurement websites, and you do mostly on-demand orders for federal, state and local governnent. You make yourself a set aside for their department procurement personnel by processing purchase orders and you make your money with the % markup on your order. It helps tremendously if you are a disabled veteran or minority owned business or if you have your business in a location thats called a HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business) because the federal government agencies are required by law to procure a certain amount in their budget from these businesses. My wife started her procurement service 9 years ago and she has done very well.
