how can dropshipping be dead?
Its sales, reselling, yes its saturated, but no its not dead...
Just find a product that you can sell, how can dropshipping be dead, but affiliate marketing for low quality nameless products' not dead?
Dropshipping is no dead because Buying and Selling is not dead.

Unless maybe you twist the definition of "dead". It just takes more time, effort, and marketing capital. If you have 10 websites and 10 different product spaces doing dropshipping with all of them, are you telling me you won't make 100k a year in profits?
$10,000 a year in profits per product group/website is definitely guaranteed if you're doing everything right - SEO, Good Customer Service, Active Socially, Actively Marketing(could be giving products away to influencers or fake reviews or fake quora questions)
Nowadays theres so much automation that most of the uphill battle is initial investment of time and capital. And ofcourse finding your own system for time management. It is definitely a lot more hardwork to get to the golden Invisible $6 Figures$ Finish Line that any project has, but the fact is that its not dead, just harder now.
Fear of hardwork is what makes things appear dead.
