What actually works in dropshipping subreddits
The dropshipping community has been burned by enough courses and gurus that any post that smells like a pitch is dead on arrival. Lead with a specific tactical problem you solved. Numbers help. Vague success stories without ad-spend or margin data get flagged as fake.
