Thanks for the warm explanation. Last year and in 2019, I was able to learn some dropshipping techniques and how to use an aflliate marketing strategies to enhance my sales. Dropshipping involves buy goods from other countries at a cheaper price and make a resale while affiliate marketing is more like getting to deal with your potential referrals.

Since you do not have to spend money to buy products or develop products, and yet you can still sell products to make money, a lot of people get confused with dropshipping and affiliate marketing. However, these are entirely different things. Dropshipping is selling, where as affiliate marketing is sending buyers to the stores

Dropshipping is a business whereby you import goods from other part of the countries and make sales on them either online or offline while affiliate marketing is more of a referral business whereby you network many people to improve your business.

Affiliate marketing is a promotion of product or a online marketing a goods an service purchase through people, so I don't really know about dropshopping.

Affiliate marketing Can be simple explain as the promotion of goods and services of another person that means you don't own the goods,while drop shipping is running or advertising products for an individual or a company. That's the difference between the both of them.

Affiliate marketing is the act of trading that involves a person who helps the main owner of a business to advertise and bring customers to buy from him. The products could be advertised through any means of advertisement and there is an agreed amount to be paid if goods are sold. Drop shipping involves uploading or advertising of products that are not yet in stock, then if eventually you get a customer who places an order, the products becomes available. There is also an agreed pay between the drop shipper and the business owner.

Affiliate marketing is the promotion of goods or products and when client connect with the affiliate link you get paid for that while dropshipping is the art of owning an online store where people can advertise their products and make sales.

affiliate marketing consider how much money you can actually make. The commissions in an affiliate marketing business can often be low in comparison to a dropshipping model

Affiliate Marketing is one of the many ways to make money on the Internet like an alternate income stream but without the bells and whistles of a full-fledge business practice. Affiliate Marketing is a business marketing model that allows you to promote and market someone else’s products or services leveraging an affiliate network and earn a commission, if any of the products sell as a result of your market while
Dropshipping is yet another passive revenue generating business model in which a vendor or a seller sells products without actually maintaining an active inventory of the products. It is a business model that allows sellers to start selling products but without the need to keep an inventory of products. This business practice eliminates the need and cost of starting a new business.

Yes

yes you are very correct. Affiliate marketing most times is done by anyone who want to get a profit or a commission from selling those goods, the person may not necessarily be the owner of the goods to be sold, but most times with drop shipping it is the owner of the goods that sells the goods to whoever is interested in purchasing.

Yes I agree with what you said,affiliate marketing must not be that you are the owner of the goods but its done by anyone in order to earn passive income or profit.
