"Is dropshipping dead?"

That was one of the most common questions I got toward the end of the last year.

Here's the thing– I don't know! Is it? Why are you asking me? There are certainly people more suited to answer this than me.

To find out, we're talking to Tomas Slimas, Chief Marketing Officer at Oberlo. He should know– Oberlo users have dropshipped more than 100 million products during the last 24 months.

In today's episode, you'll learn the answer, as well as what it takes to become a successful dropshipper, and even how dropshipping can scale your existing store.
