1. What kind of business is presenting in the video?
It is a dropshipping
2. What do you think about that business performance? Please explain
I think dropshipping is a one of simplest business which the seller only acts as a
middleman without ever touching the merchandise. Dropshipping is still worth if we
want to earn a decent income by starting our side business, but if we want to make a lot
of money in a short time, well dropshipping is definitely not worth. The performance of
dropshipping is depend on how success we have to invest our time, money and effort, it
also depends on our marketing branding, advertising, social media, customer
engagement, etc. I think the performance of business are much better in a past few years,
let’s say 2019, 2020 and 2021 because the world has just embraced e commerce and more
people are buying online than ever before, especially when the pandemics are going on.
Dropshipping also have an easiest way in payments because its online. In 2020
dropshipping is still profitable because the number of e commerce activities. So I think
the dropshipping business performance is really good but they also a big problem like
false advertising that can detrimental to customers.

Expensive fulfillment errors, when fulfillment errors occur, like overselling of
outdated stock levels, its often the merchant who has to pay for it
Dropshipping vendors make less profit per sale because they do less work,
however is the competitive pricing of dropshipped goods
There’s a lot of fake dropshipping suppliers who prey on inexperienced vendors
