I don't think drop shipping is really something where there are a small set of secrets an in crowd are operating on that anyone can come along and easily replicate. So I don't think more information is really going to effect current players that much.

Without reading the guide I would assume it doesn't tell you exactly which product you should sell and guarantees that you will be able to do a deal for someone to supply you that product. That is a large part of it, not really bigger though than any startup doing a key deal with another company.

From there you face many of the same challenges as any tech startup. Functioning and easy to use technology, effective and positive ROI marketing and great customer support.
