The guy who sells guides to "starting your own business" by drop shipping is not exactly running an MLM I suppose, but he's taking suckers for a ride all the same.

Unless you don't have the time/energy/learning style and want to learn about drop shipping you pay for a course. Many developers are self taught but others paid for someone to teach them.

This is assuming that the person teaching the course actually has a clue.

Yeah but the different is that the drop shipping course is typically marketed in a misleading way that misrepresents how much one stands to gain.
