What is an affiliate? Simply speaking, it is bringing people to your website, sharing knowledge, and then directing the customer to different sites where they can purchase the same, or similar items you have been discussing. Your part of the process is done at that point. If the customer purchases from the other site, for example, Amazon, Amazon will pay you a small commission on the sale, and they will then ship the item to the customer, and deal with any other issues that may arise from the transaction. You do not take any payments from the customer on your site, you are simply providing information, and a link where they can make a purchase if they choose.
What is drop shipping? Drop shipping puts you in business with the customer. You will create a web site, You will offer products, and then you will take payments. However, you will not have inventory on hand. You will have to choose a manufacture, and as you get orders, you will then purchase from the manufacture, and have them ship the items directly to the customer. Even though you are not the one shipping the items, you are the one responsible for all interactions and problems that may arise with the order, and all customer service.
