Reply All has a good episode this week that discusses drop shipping. (https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/117-the-worlds-most-ex...). Seems to be based on this article - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/01/the-s... Basically no one really knows if there is money in drop shipping, but people are making money by teaching people about it.

As mentioned above. We're making money doing it.

I've long wondered why these guys are out there pitching their courses, right now I just believe its a) because they see everyone else doing it b) its easy money but really c) because their businesses are just on auto-pilot.

A lot of these guys have VA's who do a lot of the heavy lifting. I just think they're getting bored and don't want to be forgotten on the conference circuit.
