Description

In this episode, BK and Jon stumble into what might be the holy grail of dropshipping niches: industrial sensors. These mysterious little devices - from VOC monitors to penetrometers (yes, that's a real thing) - check every box for the perfect dropshipping product: high ticket prices ($1,000-$7,500+), tiny shipping boxes, and virtually zero competition.

Join the guys as they explore this untapped world of:


  • Air quality monitors that cost more than a used car
  • Lightning detectors for swimming pools and farms
  • Vape detectors for schools (where one order could mean 20+ units)
  • Laboratory sensors with names they can barely pronounce


The best part? You don't need to know what a turbidity sensor does to sell it successfully. BK shares his hilarious "fake it till you Google it" approach from his early 3D printer days, while Jon explains why technical complexity shouldn't scare you away from a profitable niche.


Whether you're a dropshipping veteran tired of saturated markets or a complete beginner looking for that perfect first niche, this episode proves there are still goldmines hiding in plain sight. Plus, learn why sometimes breaking the "rules" of high-ticket dropshipping (like selling $500 items) can lead to six-figure orders when you find the right bulk buyers.

Warning: After listening, you might find yourself googling "industrial penetrometer suppliers" at 2 AM. Don't say we didn't warn you.
