@zlice probably is real... These types of people are ususally mentally handicapped individuals that dont think about things logically. They just think "Money money money money money money!" like a fucking Mr. Krabs.

@Alice Brb fixing to claim that job lmao.
Sike this person is probably a huge pain in the ass to work for -
@zlice Well some devs need a quick cashout/or they are broke ass students. Develop some sort of service/fancy looking eshop with one or two products, advertise it on facebook, connect it with some dropshipping vendor and vuola. With ~50usd investment into ads you can generate at least a few hundred usd/mo with minimal time spending doing this. Then u sell this website for ~2-3k to someone and teach them basics on how to manage everything.
And then guess what? After having some experience you build your own stuff and expand. -
@zemaits Dropshipping doesn't seem like it'll actually work.
I don't go to some random ass website looking for a product. I go to Amazon or some trusted retailer.
Plus I know some one who tried that and they never once made a sell. -
@jhh2450 you would be suprised how many ppl throw money at websites which are basically landpages for one or two products rebranded from ebay. All u need is marketing, for example fb ads. Dont judge idea by one or two references which u have. Also dont assume that everyone is buying the same way like a geeks do.

@zemaits Right but anyone with a brain goes to something like Amazon or eBay. And many people are paranoid to give their credit card info to sketch ass website nobody on Earth has heard of.
This is called common sense. While rare in today's society, it's still something that exists. -
@jhh2450 There are more payment methods than credit card. PayPal, skrill, moneybookers and much more. Also these types of sites are using 3rd parties to charge from credit cards(and these 3rd parties have very strict regulations, the business owner needs to have at least an individual business licence and etc.), so it's not like the seller will see your CC details.
Let's say you are reselling some rebranded tea from ebay which had original price of 5USD. All you do is order a custom label and describe it in fancy way as well as present in a fancy landing page and set the price for idk 10-15USD. And people will throw their money at that sh1t just because it's better presented than some sketchy ebay advertisement.
New generations are buying depending on how the product presentation makes them feel about themselves(is this cool, can I brag to my friends and etc.). Also we have less and less time to manually scrape whole ebay in order to find best alternative.
Why... What has freelancing come to

how do you expect this to work?
