I considered removing Hubba completely from the post but the truth is that I use it. I work in marketing/growth and realized a year ago that I knew very little about the retail world. I decided to spend my own money to learn the business and bring those learnings back into my job. So in that sense, sure this is an AD, if anything it's an AD for Shopify given how much I love their software.

If you notice, there is no mention or link to my actual store that could drive $$$ into my pocket directly. The point is not to market my store, but to show you how easy it is, with the right tools, to break free from dropshipping.

It's too bad if that's all you take away from this post. The truth is that I use Hubba on a weekly basis to find new products and I haven't been able to find anything else to help me there. There are lots of marketplaces but most are full of crap or only work with dropshippers. At least on Hubba, I know the brands are being vetted by a team of humans for quality and integrity.

If you have a better alternative or another service I would be happy to include it in here.

Appreciate the comment
