However I wanted someone to maybe break down how this guy does 1.4 price increase and does 28% profit margin with tons of sales.

If he has no problem showing you his Paypal and ebay accounts, he should have no problem disclosing his credit card statement as he so clearly makes cash back like all dropshippers. Once you know his COGS, you'll know his profit margins. I smell snake oil all over this one. Save your money - read, read, read.

If you're too busy start at 3:45 he flickers through his paypal 250k - Could he be editing that to phaik it? Seriously asking, I hope he's lying because then it means there's an excuse. |

I see what you mean .. he just displays all break down for some months like in this video. Should I ask him for further proof? I mean if he's phaiking the vids he might just do the same with documents of statments too. idk maybe this guy is a good phony. |

No doubt the video footage is real. But just wait when he shows you his credit card statements and it shows that he spent 35,000 to buy all his stuff for the month. Then he made like what, 1k after fees? Lol

Claims huge net profit, 28% .. so i could ask but if hes lying about everything then it means he would have to fudge it.
David Vu though makes 20k a month with VA's and has a famous course on udemy. Say's he uses multiple Retail stores online though.
Idk I hope its a lie that way my lazy ass has an excuse not to do it. lol
I already pretty confident that majority if not all affiliate marketers are liars.

You can make money dropshipping, but you'll need VAs to manage the insanity of the business model. Without VAs and at 10% profit, you may as well be working for free.

I'll have to see if he tells COGS total in video. I know he tells his NET PROFIT after all is taken out before taxes.

If you want to go into online retail, have your inventory shipped to your house and fill the orders. Skip out on the voodoo $hit like dropshipping and amazon FBA and do some leg work. Best part is you can claim your house as your place of business and your car as your business vehicle when filing taxes | The Following User Says Thank You to Sunspot144 For This Useful Post: | |

Nobody is giving that info out to help beginners.

I dont think most of us will watch any videos of someone selling a course on how to operate a crappy business price gouging other people online but maybe....
What are you hobbies? What are your passions?

I tried youtube for researching how to find possible ways to get suppliers but ya almost everyone seemed to be selling a course or mentoring so their info was all a lie.

Activity: 0% Longevity: 73% | | Re: 10k Net Profit Dropshipping from Homedepot to Ebay ONLY break down how this guy does 1.4 price increase and does 28% profit margin with tons of sales
His math sucks, that's how. Frankly, it doesn't suck. He's a liar and a conman.
Here's how his profit loss profile works out: Widget + shipping costs a dollar. Sell it for $1.40. EB minimum fees 10+%. PP fees 3% + transaction fee. $1.40*.13% = 18%. .40-.18 is 22 cents. Your profit is $.22. Already it's NOT 28%. It's really 22%. That's just to start with.
Dropshipping has a higher rate of returns/dis-satisfaction than most online retail.
If he has a 5% return rate, return shipping alone will eat up a lot of the remaining profit. There may also be restocking fees. I can tell you HSN's return rate is 14.6% in 2017. Weigh that into your equation at whatever rate you like.
Not to mention buyer fraud. If you lose your product, that's going to take a HUGE bite out of the already slim profit.
At a tiny 40% markup there probably is no profit left AT ALL.
I can tell you I buy my widgets in lots of 100,000+ pieces. $1 worth of product sells on the open market for a minimum of $6, an overall average of $12. That's 12 times my purchase price. That's a comfortable profit margin.
This whole video is BS. Run, don't walk away.
