The choice between dropshipping and affiliate marketing depends largely on your goals and the resources at your disposal . It also has a lot to do with your preferences as well.

The success of either model is totally dependent on dedication and the effort you put in terms of marketing and how you are able to understand your target audience needs.

I have heard of these concepts but have not fully comprehended their mechanics. When one gets into drop shipping are they required to pay infull the bulk of items? Will they maintain a warehouse and inventory of the goods?

Dropshipping and affiliate marketing can complement each other and it is critical to examine these if you want to diversify your streams of income. combining both together, sounds like a great idea.
It is possible that a dropshipping site is offering an affiliate commission means a dropshipping site has referral commission for bring someone to sell product from him add to dropshipping activity.

Both are extremely lucrative though but it depends, in a situation where i do not have the capital needed to purchase the goods myself, i think affiliate marketing would be better.

Affiliate marketing was not easy for me to do; I've tried it previously. I'd like to try dropshipping because the profit margin could be bigger and I could set the pricing of the products.

For me l hope affiliate marketing is far much better because it doesn't require capital and the hustle for running of startups. You are only required to sell and earn commissions literally.

I have never tried either drop shipping or affiliate marketing but i think i prefer drop shipping to affiliate marketing because from the little i know about both of them, drop shipping yields more profit.

On the long run, it's very possible to generate more money from drop shipping but one major advantage affiliate marketing has is that in most cases it does not require capital to start up.

I think that you may require capital to start dropshipping and this could be a major disadvantage, especially in case if you are venturing into buying and selling expensive products. When it comes to affiliate marketing and dropshipping, you need to assess the actual demand of the product and this is very important.

Dropshipping requires sizeable investment and also has a high running cost, therefore, I will go with affiliate marketing. However, generating affiliate sales is not easy either, you need to work hard.
