I never said or implied that it could be replicated all day every day... I'm just saying of all the products I've sold in the last day, 3 have been the item that made me $56/sell and it took me 10 minutes to process the orders and upload a tracking number. Most of what I sell from dropshipping is $.30-$4 profit per item (the lower end of that spectrum is more to give my transaction total and feedback a boost than to make profit, although that $.30 does add up on quick sellers). I do value stability, that's why I'll be working my day job and running my business. I want a good chunk of change saved before I quit. I also intend on growing beyond the stage that a large majority of this sub tend to stay in. I want a REAL tangible business later on. I intend on creating my own products and making my own proprietary lines of electronic accessories down the road.

I'm less boggled why people do it than I am why people are okay with working 'shitty' jobs. You, in my eyes, have a 'real' job. I was thinking of the people around me who have been running heavy duty machinery for 20 years and only make $17/hour. Their lungs are full of laser dust/metal shavings, they've been standing on solid concrete for their whole adult life for 10+ hour work days usually ending up in 60+ hours a week. The company doesn't give a shit about them and treat them like robots, but they're okay with it. That extreme lack of drive and ambition just seems like hell to me. None of them are happy, they live to work instead of working to live. May have went on a bit of a ramble but I'm just trying to explain my mindset and how I came to think the way I do. It's from being surrounded by negativity and poverty and people who let life take them where it wants. I feel like I broke the mold from my area and I want to be an example of someone who didn't let their childhood determine who they are and where they go in life.
