A 19-year-old has earned $1.2million in five months by selling car phone holders online.
Josh Brown, from Auckland, started up his dropshipping business last year while studying at Auckland University of Technology.
Dropshipping is when a company sells products without ever keeping them in stock.

When an order is placed, the company buys the product from a manufacturer at wholesale price and has it shipped directly to the customer.
This means the dropshipping company makes a profit on the sale without ever touching the product.
Brown created several websites that dropshipped different products - but lost $15,000 in his first four months.
Then in August last year he created a website called Ezymounts and started selling car phone holders.
Within a week he had $7,000 worth of orders and within a month had generated $50,000 in revenue.
He dropped out of university so he could focus on his business
