The recent disease outbreak in China has dropshippers asking how this might affect the industry as a whole. I answer a few of the most pressing questions. What is the coronavirus outbreak? If you don’t know yet, the coronavirus is a virus that causes respiratory illness, much like pneumonia. The death rate is up to 4% to 5% to the infected, in contrast, the flu kills only 0.05% of infected. A new strain of coronavirus was found in Wuhan, China in January 2020, and it has since been monitored internationally. Many airports, transportation, shipping, and the like have been closed entirely or closed to Wuhan. Will my customers get sick from coronaviruses on or in packages from China? No. Coronaviruses do not survive on surfaces for more than a few days. It needs a human or animal host to survive for more than 48 hours. Will there be a delay for my suppliers shipping and customers receiving packages from China? There have been reports that the Chinese government has closed shipping for a period of time. Delays in production are but a certainty. Reports say factories will open on February the 10th. The lunar new year is more of the major factor for a delay in shipping and handling from China. The weeks long celebration means the factories are closed. Some suppliers are closed for a month. Many factories close two weeks before the actual holiday. Banks and postal services also close. Workers take vacations to see families. UPDATE: Reports now say that reopening may be as late as the 28th. What other effects does the coronavirus outbreak have on the dropshipping economy? Alibaba stocks are down. It may be a good time to buy shares when the dip stabilizes. The Chinese economy may recover sharply. What can I do and shouldn’t do as a dropshipper? Contact your agent and fulfillment centers in China to see if they have things in stock. Order in bulk. Factories reopeningwill focus on Chinese buyers, and then bulk. You should not do standard ordering from AliExpress. It will be pushed back as it will not be their priority. Start looking into more local sourcing than relying on China. Or focus on the products aren’t from China, such as any print-on-demand products you have. Alternatively, you can simply close or reduce adspend until the outbreak subsides.

Passive income is mystifying to most people. Make money while you sleep? Ridiculous. The many pyramid schemes and get rich quick schemes flooding the internet do not help either.

What is something you experience every day? Breakfast, work, school, sleep… And also random calls from nowhere! These calls sound like robots! There’s that uncanny hollowness in the voice. “We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty!” You don’t even have a car. Usually, these calls show up as “Scam Likely” on the caller ID. And thus the name, “robocallers”. Do you want to make money, *actual* money, off them? By actual money, I mean from $500 up to $1,500 PER CALL? That’s right, per call. Not all in all. Per call. How can you do that? Is it really possible? Believe it or not, these callers are doing illegal things in calling you. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you the right to seek private action, meaning you can settle out of court, meaning have the caller pay you without going to court. Why? Because there are so many people reporting that the callers that the act cannot be enforced in its entirety. So, you can send a letter to threaten to sue. If they do not answer, you sue. So what do I actually do? Steps To Make $500 to $1500 PER CALL from Scam Likely Calls:
Why does this work? Well, for one, the scammers want to stay in the scamming business. Blowing them out of the water is more trouble than just settling with you. What does the kit have? The kit contains:
