Your guide looks really good, but you're definitely correct in your 1st paragraph: when I hear "guide to drop shipping" I immediately think back to the days of "MAKE THOUSANDS FROM HOME SELLING PRODUCTS ON EBAY" ... it has a bit of a snake-oil perception to me and I'm glad you addressed that right away.

My wife started an Instagram printing business (http://cheergram.com) a few months ago and it's going very well. All products are dropp-shipped from our partner lab so I know it can work.

I haven't finished the guide yet, but so far it looks really good.

Thanks so much. Part of the reason I decided to write this guide with my co-author Andrew is there's so much bullshit out there regarding drop shipping. It's really bad.... and if you go to Google to learn more about the topic I'm afraid most results are scams. I wanted to change that. Shopify was gracious enough to give me the time out of my regular duties to pursue this project and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Tell your wife Cheergram is awesome, and a huge congratulations for getting her drop shipping business up and running! Happy reading callmeed - I really hope you enjoy the rest of my guide! :)

That's great ... it's probably a good time to tackle this since people seem to be gravitating away from Ebay and toward more direct selling through social media, shopify, and all the recent "SELL ANYTHING WITH STRIPE" services we see here on HN.

If you have any specific questions or need quotes related to print/photo drop-shipping, let me know. I actually just got back from a big photo industry trade-show. Lots of interesting things going on.
