Goes to show you how an ordinary guy can do extraordinary things just by trying something new. Most important is how when he hit a roadblock, he changed his strategy and started buying ads. A lot of people would've quit after hitting the roadblock.

Honestly that's what I thought this thread was about when I opened it.

BI needs to proofread:

"The rep said he should try Facebooks, and gave him a $50 dollar voucher."

WTF is Facebooks?

"Business was slow, so he set up a Facebook page to he should his friends the clothes he was selling."

WTF is that?

and why is the font size inconsistent?

LOL, that was the .in version -- probably hired someone from DP to post it.

Does anybody know where/how to get these products dropshipped?

I can find a lot of them on Alibaba, but using that it looks like you have to buy in bulk (500+ item minimums) and have it shipped to you.

I found this on his site:

We source items in bulk from overseas suppliers, then ship them from an overseas location on demand, directly to you.

and

Our setup is such that items have to be dispatched from an overseas location to your home. This process often takes between 10 and 30 business days.

BI isn't exactly the New York Times. With $500 and a semi-interesting story, you can get yourself/website on BI from multiple people who sell shit around here.

That's what happens when you don't pay your writers, or pay them like a 3rd world content writer, they'll make their money one way or another.

The whole thing reads like a paid article, or complete BS.

the FB page has 225k likes, most of which are clearly bought likes from mexico, turkey, india etc... no way he's getting anything from that apart from vanity, reach will be terrible

good to know from a marketing standpoint... if true, probably worth more than $500 spent at FB. i'd like to see a study on that... dollar-for-dollar comparison-wise, i mean

Bullshit. This is either some sly Facebook ads marketing OR a made up article to gain hits. SO many shady things about this company i spotted.

Yeah, there's clearly something he's doing wrong.

He should be creating niche websites on forums, that's the next multi-million dollar business.

But once they saw his Click Through Rate!"
