Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you sign up for a tool through one, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Every one is labeled, and none of them change what I recommend.

This site exists because dropshipping advice has an incentive problem — most of it is written by people who earn more from your signup than from running an actual store. I'm not pretending to be above that entirely: a few tools here are linked through affiliate programs. The difference is what I do about it.

The three rules I hold these links to

  • Every affiliate link is labeled. Where a link earns a commission, it's marked as an affiliate link near the link itself. No hidden redirects, no disguised buttons.
  • I only recommend tools I actually use. Nothing earns a recommendation because it pays a commission — a tool earns its place on cost, fit, and what it actually does, judged the same way the book judges everything. If I wouldn't run it on my own store, it isn't here. And I tell you when a free or cheaper alternative is the better call, even when that pays me nothing.
  • The comparisons stay honest. When a guide compares platforms, the ranking is not for sale. A tool doesn't move up the list because its commission is higher.

What's affiliate-linked right now

Currently the main one is Shopify (the store platform recommended in the setup guides). If you start a store through the Shopify links on this site, I may earn a referral commission. You pay Shopify the same price either way, and the book itself never depends on you using it — you can build the exact same store on alternatives, which the platform guides also cover.

What is never affiliate-linked

The book is the product, sold directly for $49. There is no course, no coaching, no upsell, and no affiliate funnel behind the book itself. The free tools and guides are free with no email wall. If that ever changes, this page changes first.

FTC note

In line with U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements, this page and the in-context labels disclose that affiliate relationships exist. Questions: necati@dropshippingbook.com.
