Just wondering, as i am bored an curious because I’m in a position in life where i can get a job/cant travel to work. I remeber before I switched to lemmy and back when I used reddit, most people would promote their affiliate stuff or something, which really bothered me as it was quite common.

What legitimate ways are there to make money on the side from online without having a job? If you have questions, please leave a comment.

    Well a lot of these bulk sellers don’t sell B2C. I could start my own company to buy shit, or use a middle man.

    Sellers in the EU also have to give their shit a 2 year warranty, including for dropshipped items. No such requirements for Aliexpress.

      I guess I should have been more specific, I’m talking the places that literally just dropship from alibaba, aliexpress, etc. an actual middleman for manufacturer is fine to me. They’re actually doing something you can’t do yourself, you know, they’re actually providing a service. The ones I’m referring to are just setting up online “stores” hoping to grab people from SEO to make a profit doing actually nothing
