What's the difference between affiliate marketing and dropshipping?

[Nomad]

Both method requires you to have audience before you generate sales. If you have audience on social media, email list, or even traffic on your site, you will make more money from dropshipping.

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

The major thing I love about drop shipping is that you can sell it at the prices that you like but you cannot do that when it comes to affiliate marketing. You are just going to receive commission in affiliate marketing

Dropshipping and affiliate marketing are two distinct business models. In affiliate marketing, you promote the goods of other companies to increase their sales, and you get compensated for each sale that results from your referral link. Contrarily, dropshipping enables you to market, provide customer care for, and complete orders while using another company's items under your own brand name.
