 For one thing, the amount of profit that you can make dropshipping will be much higher than if you are just an affiliate. With an online store, you get to set your own prices unlike affiliate marketing, where all commissions are fixed. Whenever you make a sale as an affiliate, it's a one off transaction.

 Both are good sources of income. However, I suggest you read each of the platform's advantages and disadvantages and see if which one suits you more.

With affiliate marketing, for me this platform is cheaper than dropshipping because all you need to spend money on is the domain and hosting and you can easily start your business once you have created your website.

In dropshipping, aside from website and domain, you may need to also pay some dropshipping fees for your products. Also, you will need time to manage your inventory to see which products are still available or not.

 There are a lot of differences. For starters, dropshipping is a kind of commodity business. Affiliate marketing is the process by which an affiliate earns a commission for marketing another person's or company's products.

 The main difference lies in the compensation scheme. Affiliates receive commissions from the generated amount of conversions, while in drop-shipping, you can put your own price on the product, and the margin between yours and the actual rate will be your earning.

 Most entrepreneurs fall into two key categories: dropshipping vs affiliate marketing. ... In dropshipping, you set your own product prices and are responsible for marketing. Similarly, in affiliate marketing, the merchant also carries inventory and ships the product.

 Many people are selling their products on various social networks
Affiliate marketing on social media is difficult for everyone because they can not categorize and sort products completely like Amazon Ali Express Store and most of the stores that said you can easily earn money.
Show why they have no tools to do this at all
And in addition to spending a lot of time, they also make extremely low profits and can not sell between 5,000 and 10,000 products per month through affiliate marketing to
The powerful AS engine has been able to solve this problem and leave the hands of marketers extremely free so that each person with any degree of mastery in affiliate marketing can sell between 5 to ......
infinite products per month

Upload unlimited products
You can upload between 4 and 8 million products each week in a fully categorized format

 The major differences are, in dropshipping you put a price on a product and then you earn on the difference between the price of the product you put and the price of the product set by the supplier. In affiliate marketing, you earn on commissions. But in other things, there are many similarities especially when it comes to promoting.
Almost impossible to tell what business model a seller uses when you bump into an online store or on a business profile on social media. At the moment I use both models. I even use almost the same graphic content for them. I started working with Awesomic subscription services to get banners, pictures for my campaign, then I hired SMM marketers on Fiverr.
From my personal experience, I can tell that dropshipping and affiliate marketing are both high-rewarding but I just find affiliate less risky.

 I personally think that dropshipping is a kind of more serious business than affiliate. At least what you do is connected to the sales which makes this whole activity quite lucrative taking into account the fact that you don't need to buy the items in advance and keep the in the warehouse.

 They can be very different and similar at the same time. The main difference is how you will earn money, and what you have to do in order to start making some profit. An affiliate network is better in my opinion if you are a beginner, and if you have a high traffic volume site. Dropshipping requires taking care of a lot of different things and it depends on how well you are familiar with the e-commerce.
