#161: A rant AGAINST the dropship business model
As a rule, we are not fans of dropship business models - and for good reason. Today Jim dives into why he almost never suggests to new online business builders (or even experienced online business builders) that they should get into dropshipping on Amazon, eBay or other major platforms. Let's explore the risks and tell the story of a guy who sold nearly $70 million dropshipping and isn't advising anyone to go down that road. We'll tell you what you should be doing instead though!

Getting an exclusive deal on Amazon with a great product Having a hot selling product that ONLY you can sell on Amazon is a dream come true, right?
