Amen! I can't tell you the number of people who have paid me to put up a cart for them to sell dropshipped goods. Doesn't matter what the products, it works out the same. They open a hosting account and I install a free cart for them. It sits for awhile, then they pay me to actually do the whole cart, enter the items upload the images, all the rest. They even want me to write the About Us and such pages. I refuse that, tell them I'll put up what they provide.
So, I end up with a single site hosting account and $ 100 or more for the work and within 3 or 4 months they haven't sold the first thing. They cancel their hosting and throw in the towel. I preach finding a niche, doing some seo, maybe some PPC. Nope! Build a site, let it sit and wait for the money to come in.
Yeah, right!
So many really believe that a website is a gold mine with the gold just lying on the ground. They hardly want to bend over to pick it up, let alone dig at all.
One forum where a bunch of them come from I post stuff like this, they say "that won't happen to me", they pay me and 3 or 4 months later they haven't done a thing. I try and talk them out of it and they just have to do it. I like money as well as anyone, but I like to feel like I'm helping someone, not just sticking my hand in their pocketbook.
