Dropshipping provides greater profit potential since you have control over the sales price. With dropshipping, I'm able purchase products wholesale and then sell them for more than the cost. This allows me to pocket the difference as earnings.
Affiliate marketing on the other hand offers lower risk since there's no startup capital required. But with affiliate marketing, you only earn a fixed commission that the merchant sets.
For these reasons, if I had to choose, I prefer dropshipping as it gives me more opportunity to maximize my profits as my business grows.

I prefer affiliate marketing but it involves a lot of work and consistency. Secondly, you must have a functional website and huge traffic. Without a functional website and traffic, affliate marketing will be impossible. Once you have a site with quality traffic, affliate marketing is a goldmine.

Even the dropshipping needs work no less than 5 hours every day and then a daily maintenance and a team working with you it is not easy as people say by experience and requires a lot of maintenance and a team working with you not selling from this person and resell to this person as people think it is just an easy work.

Affiliate marketing is one of the biggest choice that I would like to go into but it needs content creation and promotion . They are the things that you must understand if you don't want to go into affiliate marketing.

Dropshipping is a great idea or business if you want to build your own brand but that thing cannot come except if you have put in a lot of effort in terms of finding a reliable supplier.

There is scalability in dropshipping and that is why it appeal to so many people. You can have more product and grow your store to expand your business in dropshipping and that is why so many people get attracted to it.

Affilate marketing is an investment that comes with low-risk and it's a way to earn easily by just promoting products that you believe in . Some product could fetch you substantial amount of commission.

Affiliate marketing is not capital-intensive and that is why it is very accessible to so many people with limited funds, you can start online business and make cool income from it.

You can build a long-term brand with dropshipping and you can also build customer base. This would lead to a repeated business which is what each and every business man want and that could be done with dropshipping.

Affiliate marketing is appealing to some people because they don't have to deal with customers support or order fulfillment. All they do is to focus on promoting the product and earn commission from it.

Affiliate marketing requires effective content marketing and it is also important that you have knowledge on SEO if you really want to succeed because you must stay updated on strategies to adopt.

The risk that is involved in affiliate marketing is very minimal because you don't need to invest in inventory or handle customer returns or any kind of refunds as it is in dropshipping.
