Drop-shipping companies are a big ass joke. They look impressive and appear to offer lots of stuff however the money is pitiful and the majority of them go out of business due to massive overhead and little profits. Those folks also try to consider themselves as self-employed but they are not. They are just low grade salesman for their company. Most of these internet supplement companies are set up by Apollo Fullfillment. If that company went out of business or got into trouble, expect about 60% of the internet businesses to go into the toilet.
Like I said Vince, it all depends on
who you are dealing with.
My business is pure inventory stock I have from my home.
Oh My, I hope all the bug & cockroaches in your home haven't gotten into things.
My exercise equipment is drop-shipped for obvious reasons however I still purchase them directly wholesale and all of the equipment is reserved in a warehouse in California until I sell them. I have no business debt whatsoever, everything is paid for without credit cards, and I don't have to worry about trusting someone else with the livelihood of my company. Because of that, my overhead is very low
You're certifiably warped
which keeps me in business.
...til you get sick, injured, or whatever...
Jaguar, I'm sorry if that offends you but I keep it real and tell it like it is.
It doesn't offend me Vince. Why would that offend me. You use a retail model which generates linear income. I hate to break it to you, but you do NOT have a business. What you are is self-employed. You're just one step above an employee. When you own a business, it isn't dependant on you. A real business on the other hand is an entity that is self-sufficient, and can and will carry on without you. I suggest you read a little of Robert Kiyosaki's "CashFlow Quadrant". it explains the differences quite well.

You are the worst offender. Not only do you completely drop-ship,
I'm the worst offender because i choose not to make a retail profit off customers. I'm not a retailer. I don't follow a linear retail business model. My business income is based on the repeat sales of loyal happy product users. The only time I charge retail is if someone is a pain-in-the-tush, or if I have to personally ship the product out to them. It covers the packaging & shipping charges. I don't have a problem letting people get the products they want at the lowest possible price, and ordering the item directly from the company and having it shipped out directly from the company, means consumers get the product faster and get fresher stock. But I suppose in your world it would make more sense to order product for an Australian customer, from a company in America, have it be required to go through customs in Canada, only to turn around and then re-ship it to Australia, rather than simply have the product shipped directly from the company's Australian facilities directly to the consumer in Australia.
you try to get people into the great MLM pyramid of Synergy.
You know better than to call Synergy a pyramid. If you thought it was a pyramid, ...why did you join?
And you are so embarrassed about it that your website is basically a curtain for your Synergy distributor website.
My website isn't a curtain for anything. It was up there, prior to the company coming out with replicated websites for distributors.
When you're good enough to stand on your own two feet, you may wish to do things the right way.
When you're knowledgeable enough about network marketing (which in your case may never occur), you'll look back and groan in embarassment. No wonder you've crashed and burned in every network mktg opp you tried. Not only do you not know how to pick a good one, ...you wouldn't know what to do with it when you have it.
This will be the final post on this thread I'll be making because I have other things to do. Have a good day
If you knew how to leverage yourself properly, you'd have more free time available to you
