Is dropshipping dead?

Any money to be made if i get into it from scratch now?
No and never will be. simple as. unlimited bank if you gott the traffic. its not the product. its the traffic.
Not at all. It's all about finding the right audience for a specific product and once sales have been made, scaling from there to increase profits.
No definitely not............
Dropshipping is a massive bullshit, no ones want to wait 1 month or even more to get a product, and everybody know aliexpress lol, only money you can make in dropshipping is selling bullshit ebook to noobs.
Dropshipping is fine. Everything is still the same.

I disagree.

I have generated around $28k in revenue in the last 2 months, 30% of which is plain profit.

Drop shipping can never die.

Im curious. what do you bring in
I want to buy things from amazon and sell on ebay, not sure if its against there TOS, any ideas?
I've drop shipped for many years and I think the answer to the question is more complex than a straight Yes or No.

If by dead you mean, Is drop shipping as effective now as it was 3 years ago? Or is it easy to make money from DS? Then yes it is dead. But you could say the same about the vast majority of IM techniques (CPA/AM etc..) Drop shipping has evolved and has become much more popular than in the past, with the rise of Shopify drop shipping has never been so easy but its also never been this saturated or this easy to advertise and promote.

I would say the best way to look at it would be that drop shipping takes a lot more effort now than it did say 3 or 4 years ago because theres so many people who see it as a way to easily make money with low investment. But is it dead? No, its not dead there is still money to be made, but is it dying? In my opinion, yes it is dying and the main cause of this is due to consumer expectations, 5 years ago no one had a problem with waiting 2 weeks for an online product, these days everyone wants their product next day delivery. Eventually amazon and other big retailers are going to be doing same day deliveries which will further drive expectations and further hurt the drop shipping community.

If i were thinking of starting off now - I wouldn't bother, I would personally take the risk and stock my own products. With 3D printing taking off over the past few years its never been cheaper to mass produce and buy in bulk.

Thank your for your HQ reply sir, i'm totally new in this and i'd like to learn something about it but i don't know where to start. I'm looking in the internet for some guides but they are all the same. Do you think i just have to try and see how it goes? Or i have to prepare my self more before the big step? Probably i'm just too afraid about the fact that dropshipping is dying i mean, probably there are other methods that i should try.

False, people are still starting are still earning massive amounts of money. Don't let that one user discourage you, just start off with $1500 and you'll be fine, if you lose it oh well start again or move on, can't hurt right.

You'd be amazed...you're also suggesting that everything that is produced in China is readily available already in other parts of the world, which isn't the case...
