In dropshipping businesses you are allowed to open an online portal for the product you want to sell. You will advertise the products as you own them. The money is dealt with you directly and when customers want to pay , they pay you the price of the product. The distributor will take care of all the parcel and packaging of the product.

Where as in affiliate marketing, you simply refer the link to the customers. You don't deal with any money directly. The customers are simply redirected to the companies website where they will buy the product and do all the necessary transactions. You will later be paid your commission from the company itself.
 
That is great to know the difference between dropshipping and affilliate marketting. I am just wondering about dropshipping, after you receive the payment do you now send it to the owner of the products so that they pay you your commission?

I think you're confusing the two together, in dropshipping, you have already purchased the goods, so in context you are the "owner" so to say. Dropshipping is simply buying somewhere and selling somewhere else. So in dropshipping once you're paid you leverage the cost and determine profits
 
In drops shipping you open your own store promote the products(not your own products) and earn money.
In affiliate marketing you choose a product, you get your own unique affiliate link which you promote on social media and whenever someone purchases through your link you earn a commission and earn.
 
Well both own and affiliate products can be promoted and the parcelling is always done via a company which is necessary on dropshipponv bit not in affiliate marketing

They are actually similar but dropshipping requires a lot more work and inventory follow up. Affiliate marketers have little or nothing to do with the Product sale or shipment.
 
Traits that dropshipping and affiliate marketing have are common, to mention one is the ownership of the responsibility for product promotion. The main difference lies in the compensation scheme.
 
With affiliate marketing commissions are received from the amount of generated conversion, while in dropshipping you put your own price on the products, and the margin between your price and the actual rate will be your earning.
 
As i know , dropshipping you own your products that you can sell it anyway you want but affiliate it is like promoting seller's products that you aren't own it
 
Nice explanation here. With dropshipping , you are your own boss mostly. You sell your product from your offline store. Affiliate marketing however can be for self but is not really same with dropshipping
 
I deal with affiliate here in my country. There's a particular company that provides me all these collections such as bags, cloths, shoes and jewelry. I sell on behalf of the company and I get paid of it every month.
 
Is there any one here who prefers dropshipping to affiliate marketing because it looks like majority prefer affiliate marketing although it depends on the company and pay for me.

Yeah, most people including me prefer affiliate marketing to dropshipping. I guess it is because for drop shipping, having a website is a must. While Affilliate marketing can just be done in your social media accounts.
 
DROP SHIPPING: My experience with drop shipping was horrible! First we signed up for a site that said it was free. All we had to do was build a shopping website and set the prices, advertise the products, and customers could order products from our site, and the company with the products handled everything else! That made it sound so easy. But we lost money instead of earning.

AFFILIATE MARKETING: By contrast, I can start a blog and use affiliate links in the content or place affiliate ads on the sidebar. I can also share affiliate links via my social media accounts – Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. It took a while for me to gain followers. But once I had followers, I noticed that I started earning from my affiliate marketing efforts.

Affiliate marketing is much easier than drop shipping.
 
This is a very good explanation because many people don't really know the difference. Affiliate marketing the product isn't yours, simply another person's product and you're given certain percentage after every sale.
 
In drop shipping you sell your product online or offline in a store. Promote the product and then sell to earn profit.
Whereas in affiliate marketing you took the responsibility of selling a product of your choice and sell it on different platforms by using your links or through promotions and get commission in return.
 
As i know , dropshipping you own your products that you can sell it anyway you want but affiliate it is like promoting seller's products that you aren't own it
This is just an version of what the poster said. In dropshipping, you go to some e-commerce websites to buy goods at cheaper rate only for you to market it and get your gain. While in affiliate marketing, you market another company or person's business for commission. Though you can as well market it anywhere but you receive commission or salary as the buyers won't pay directly to you.
 
Someone once said dropshipping is actually a larger version of affiliate marketing. When it comes to affiliate marketing, you do not need to buy any product, you do not even need to see them or have a direct link with the manufacturers. You get paid once you are able to make sales through your link
 
When you are into dropshipping it means that you will have to buy a particular product from the manufacturer before you will be able to sell it to people who need it. As an affiliate marketer you are just trying to help the producers of the product to bring in more customers then they will give you a commission afterwards.
