No.  And it has nothing to do with taking.

What do you mean by drop shipping? Is this some kind of multi-level marketing thing?

I've found that it's worthwhile to accumulate independent revenue streams. I might come up with an idea that will make me $20 a month, and take me an hour once a month, or 5 minutes 12 times a month, but that's still making $20 an hour. Then just start accumulating those hours. over time it can build up into a decent side business, or full-time business.

I pull in a few thousand a year doing mostly dye-sublimation. I was doing ceramics, but you can't print your own designs as easily with ceramics. It can be done, but none of my designs sell enough to be practical to do that way. I still "do" ceramics, my designs are just not fired on in a kiln. I have to buy special coated ceramics, then I can print off a design for one unique item, or a small order of custom items. Dye-sub is also photo-quality, ceramic transfers are silkscreen, so kind of low-res, but they last forever, plastic coatings get scratched and/or fade.

you're right about that last part. it has nothing to do with taking. it's given. that's my point. but i don't want anything to give me what i don't need. and i'd still wager that we're all dependant on somebody. you don't just forage through the world like Zeus until you've become you're own God. not unless you're willing to surrender the world, which... hint: they aren't. no one is.

dropshipping is setting up an ecommerce website and selling products through a wholesaler.  it takes you out of the shipping and handling procedures. 

some broke jokes put a product on ebay and mail it to em from amazon which i find fucking hilarious

While I don't understand it... so long as you're "happy" and not hurting anyone else, do your thing.  :intardnet:

I hope, though, that you do find something to be passionate about if you haven't already. That's why people get jobs and that's where real fulfillment comes from. Be it family, hobbies, intellectual pursuits, or, if they're lucky, the job itself.


Granted alot of people do work, support themselves financially, have families, and exist just because they are expected to. Because they think that that's how to live. And I find that really sad.

Sounds like a lot of marketing. I'm more of a design person. I experimented with SMC once. It didn't go well. Too many people selling the same crap, and competing for low prices at high volume, which just turned into me working hard to lose money, so I gave it up. Apparently, I'm not a marketing person.

I could theoretically make more money if I advertised my business. I occasionally get orders from friends/family for family reunion t-shirts and/or mugs. I just prefer photoshopping funny pictures, slapping them on things, and putting them out there on Ebay and Etsy. Basically just letting those two companies do all my marketing for me.

Wikimedia commons is my bread and butter. I data mine that site for tiny gold nuggets. It's a lot like digging for treasure. I enjoy it, and it pays well enough.

marketing is pretty easy you just have to market to your niche
I plan to dropship supplements and my own supplement product once i have some more cash to play around with
for now its affiliate marketing which is quite fun

Your typing skills are horrible. It makes it really hard to understand how you're trying to justify the way you're living.

Are you saying you don't want people to give you anything you don't need? What about the shelter, food, electricity, and whatever else your parents give you? You don't need that stuff from them.

And I don't believe that you don't want to have a girlfriend or some kind of relationship with a girl. That is what people who can't get girls say.

If I you could do custom labels, I might could get into that. I often come up with gitchy ideas for products, like a protein powder marketed as "Primordial Soup" with a sci-fi, mad scientist, Dr. Jekyl, turning into a monster kind of horror theme.

My typing skills, by the way, are immensely trivial a pursuit, on a message board.

We all have different ways of portraying our words, and you catapulting this rubbish is equally disdainful.

My parents don't "give me" anything; as I ask for it.

And you don't think I can get girls? that's a laugh. I've had girls wanna be with me. I never wanted to be with them, though. It's called give and take. But nice try at a wilful ignorance.

believe it or not: one time this girl was like "i like how you just do what you want, when you want and don't care about blah blah".

needless to say, she was not very attractive with her comments. the one who was actually attractive was already being chased by an idiot. but she was a goth. who is actually a goth?

i agree, it is sad. you have to have a purpose to have meaning, if you have no purpose, there's no meaning in what you do. if someone wants to make money, for the sake of it, fine, but don't pander to people that that's the way to live. it isn't. the way to life is do things. the buck doesn't stop, however. it is, afterall, a tool, a precipitable one, but useful at that. if one's purpose to make money, then you can talk about life. if it's just to "have money", then one can really not have anything to say past the uselessness of their purpose.

Meh, they perform a legitimate function. I kind of envy people who can market stuff. I would pay someone to market my stuff as long as I still got my $20/hr minimum. I'm not going to work for $10/hr just to make some other schmoe money. I could do that at a factory.

That said, I'd still rather have a work-at-home factory job that pays $10/hr than have to go to somebody else's smelly factory to make $10/hr, if that were my only other option.
