The actual products almost never matter because they change all the time. Some only have a sales period of a few weeks. What dropshippers do is to automate data gathering and number crunching to figure out the next products to focus on.

Yes that's why you need to keep spying on competitors using fake fb accounts and establish a protocol of quickly testing and dropping the duds without investing feelings into it and scaling only the winner.

Most newbies fall for sunk cost fallacy.
