My mom thinks dropshipping is illegal...

Most people fail with shopify is because the dropshipping police catches them and sends them to jail
 
Your mom is right. Dropshipping cocaine is illegal
 
In indonesia, people have been accused of using black magic (indonesian : ngepet) when you are actually doing AutoCAD from home.

Too lazy to link a news. But yeah.
 
People think you can't make money off of Social Media too, you should tell that to Influencers like Jake Paul.
Are this Jake Paul and Logan Paul same like twins? And how did they get so famous?
I know pewdipie struggled his ar#e off to get to where he is at now but how did these two became famous?
Also the 3rd paragraph of this article says he conquered youtube @21 yrs only. Is it true lol?

she's so close minded I really don't care for her approval anymore
Are you 18,17,16,15? If yes, then get a part-time job and move out. Be a waiter at a fancy restaurant for a bit of more pay than usual waiters but do it and move out. There's one thing I hate more than anything is that answering anyone of what you do and people telling you what to do. As long as you are staying under your parent's roof you have to answer them.

NEVER IN LIFE answer or explain to anyone of anything that you do in life because of no one's gonna feed you. You DONT owe anything to anyone. Not even any explanation.
You should try to explain it to her but at the end of the day if you live in her house you should follow her rules.
THIS.

If you want to convince her find evidence that it's not illegal and supporting facts, or just explain it to her, I'm sure you can find a easy solution for this.

LOLz Jake Paul
 
you should explain a little by little to her, explain what it is you actually do, she might understand
 
Show her a video course or something or just tell her it's like if u have a shop in real life but it's online . Also tell her it's like Amazon and she will understand

Did that to both of my children a while ago, as my eldest asked me what I’m doing for a living. Did exactly like you suggested and used Amazon as an example.

Two weeks later I got a letter from my ex’s lawyer demanding a 5000% increase in child support.

Asshole actually thought I was makin Bezos money...
 
WOW you guys, you all come from some pretty fucked up places. Maybe just maybe.. she is just worried about her kid.
In some countries (mostly Asia) parents are overprotective of children. Lol, my mother doesn't want me to ride motorcycles.

How did your mom find out you dropshipping ?? OP two choices.
  1. Try to explain to her
  2. Tell her you stopped it and continue without knowing her - it is not like you pack items at your home or anything

can't move out until you're 18. She also never said i Couldn't
 
Yeah the struggle was very real throwing mommy's and daddy's money at YouTube ads.
No, If I am not wrong, he used to sell pizza during the beginning of his Youtube career.
It's all there and there were multiple interviews on what he used to do before Youtube.
 
why the fuck some of u suggest him to leave his mom and move on else where?

My parents hated and never believed of what i was doing. than again 10 grand in a month on a table convinces a lot and gains u a lot of confidence. So, u can try to explain but i think best way to explain situation is to prove it by action.

And now i am in a position when i can pick up a phone and tell my parents that i need 5 grand by tomorrow. Boom and money is there they don't even ask anymore why i need it.

btw Op even drop shipping can be illegal depends on what u are doing. Selling items that are ok for every person to buy is okay. even so, if i sell u Fake adidas shoes and tell u that they are brand ones i could end up in a jail. ;) so, just don't go to grey area of drop shipping and everything will be okay.

Because sometimes you need to do what is best for YOURSELF and pursue your own happiness and listening to anyone else dictate your life when you are old enough can hold you back considerably.

Love and consideration are both important social tools for a happy life and it's important for your own well-being if you have a functioning emphatic ability. So keeping your parents happy, should make you happy.
For as long as he lives with them, as long as he doesn't ship from the house or receive large orders of items obstructing the space of the house/apartment I don't see any problem at all with dropshipping.
A good idea would be to explain the business model and compare to something you know your parents know about.
Most of the times parents only wants their kids best but sometimes.. Sometimes they act for their own good before yours.

And now if the parent try to control what business you do it sounds a bit too narcissistic for your own good.
Now again, if what you do is legal and all you do is sit at your ass in front of the computer, no harm should be done towards them so in that case it would only be an action to assert their power over you. Parents should wish their kids best. If you make money for little work doing dropshipping they should be happy, or concerned if they do not believe in prolonged business model of it. But trying to make you stop even if you are profitable... Raises red flag.

Wow. You are one of the most amazing dumbos I have ever seen on the internet. :D

Lemme see if I got this correct - You earn and you ask for your money (the money you earn) from your parents when you need? No freedom and can't manage your own expense? Not good at calculations and planning?

^^ If the above is true, then you are now being awarded as the Dumbo Of the Year 2018 Award and the year is not even close to the end but the nominee is too strong. xD

Understand 80% of the parents don't believe in Online Income. They believe working 10-5 and sucking and blowing the boss at the same time every single day IS the way to make a life.

Yes good point so if you feel the urge to please parental figures you can find a good balance such as part time job or education as long as it doesn't obstruct your online business! Most people are greedy so giving them some money will also keep the quiet!
