Honest Take

Most Overhyped Platforms in 2026.

These platforms receive outsized attention relative to what most beginners actually experience.

🎭
NFT Flipping — Score 24/50
Trading volume collapsed from 2022 peaks. Early allowlist advantages are inaccessible to newcomers. Read the full NFT guide →
📦
Low-Effort Dropshipping
The 'laptop lifestyle in 30 days' narrative exists primarily as a funnel for course sales — not a realistic 2026 model. See what actually works →
🎯
Saturated Fiverr Niches
Logo design, generic writing: thousands of near-identical sellers competing for zero-margin gigs. Smart niches still work. Find the right niche →
Blueprint Insight
The platforms most beginners ignore have the highest scores.
Overrated
NFT Flipping
Score 24/50 — most retail buyers from 2022–24 hold assets below purchase price
Underrated
Amazon KDP
Score 41/50 — genuinely passive once published, $500–$5K/mo with niche research
Overrated
Generic Dropshipping
Compressed margins + rising ad costs — only works with real brand differentiation

Affiliate Marketing
Score 44/50 — compounds with SEO and content, unlimited ceiling, $0 startup cost
Underrated
Crypto Staking
Score 35/50 — passive yield on assets you already hold, 4–20% APY, minimal effort
