You've never tried to earn money online and now consider two opportunities:
Dropshipping and Affiliate Marketing.
Which one is better to start with?
Let me help you make a decision!
Hi there! That's Anna from Dropship Club.
Before I start talking about our new topic,
I'd like to announce that our website dropship.club
is ready and waiting for its new subscribers!
I want to invite you to take a look at our great knowledge base about dropshipping!
Join our "Dropship Club" community
to become a successful dropshipping business owner!
However, our today's topic is two popular ways to earn money online.
They are perfect for beginners and I personally believe that, before starting, it's better
to fully understand how they work.
So, let's discuss what is affiliate marketing
and what is drop shipping business
and why you should choose one over another.
Please note that today we are going to view the affiliate marketing
as a product affiliate marketing only
by this, I mean promoting goods from Amazon and AliExpress on the Internet
and getting paid for that.
Both AliExpress and Amazon have their affiliate programs.
If you join any of them, the merchant manages the inventory and ships the products.
You promote the products, but you don't set the prices and only receive a commission
after someone buys a product following your affiliate link.
This link contains your affiliate code and helps tracking your sales.
In a nutshell, you get paid for selling other people's products.
This is how you can promote these products: Create your own website that can redirect the
visitor to the source site while processing the purchase.
Promote products on your blog.
Post affiliate links on your own social media pages, other people's social media pages,
in comments, on various forum pages and anywhere over the Internet.
Create ads and pay for them.
What are the advantages of this way to earn money online?
It: Is easy to start.
You don't spend much on launching such a business, and you don't need to be officially registered;
It lets you work anywhere and anytime without
going to the office.
It provides you with a source of passive income Gives you the opportunity to create several
sites that are easy to manage as you don't carry inventory and
manage refunds for delayed shipping for example.
What about the disadvantages?
The program's terms and conditions are quite complicated and can be suddenly changed.
And you should be careful with your links , if they are not formatted correctly,
the purchases simply won't get tracked – that means no money
You have to create a huge traffic to get enough sales or be wise with ads placement
The profit is relatively small - only few % from the final price, and it might change
depending on the customer's country and the product type.
The money is paid to you 60 days after a purchase is made by your link on Amazon.
For AliExpress, the gap is 35 days.
What is dropshipping?
It is a way of selling other people's products as well.
The merchant still handles inventory and shipping.
The difference is that you can set prices yourself and get higher profit margins.
In short, you buy stuff from your vendor and resell it to your clients, but contrary to
the traditional e-commerce, you don't store your products.
Check our previous video to learn more about this business model.
How to promote products in dropshipping?
You will promote your own online store and products the same way as any e-commerce site.
To increase your store trustability, create social media accounts for your store.
You will also need to create Facebook Ad account and set up Google accounts to start your ads
and promote your online store.
Dropshipping business has its own advantages too.
It lets you run a business without product manufacturing
And you don't need a warehouse and don't handle goods, shipping and delivery
You decide how much your products cost and get higher profit margins
What is even more important, your money is always within an easy reach.
You don't need to wait for it for months – you get it into your account right after
a purchase is made.
Here are some disadvantages.
You will have to learn how to promote your business and attract customers
You will deal with a longer shipping time AliExpress has improved shipping greatly for
the last years, now it takes less time to deliver to the most of the countries, even
with AliExpress standard shipping.
Many clients are fine with long waits if you don't charge extra for shipping.
Anyway, we strongly recommend using ePacket shipping option that
takes only 5-14 days to deliver
Transferring the orders to the relevant original sellers is your responsibility.
Both of these methods allow you to start earning online without holding inventory and enable
an easier business launch in comparison to other models
The main problem with affiliate marketing is quite a low profit.
Furthermore, it's better to check out the terms and regulations of Affiliate program
as there might be lots of restrictions and pitfalls.
As for dropshipping, its' biggest challenge is customer acquisition.
Which way to go?
Let's see what is important before making your decision.
What do you aim for right now?
Do you want to test yourself for being able to earn online or start an online business?
The more efforts you put in - the more results you get.
Dropshipping can become your future self-employment and the instant income source.
AliExpress or Dropshipping affiliate programs?
I'm not sure about that.
Affiliate marketing is a really good way to get additional profit if you already have
a stable traffic source, for example, if you have your own popular blog.
Your loyal audience might react very enthusiastically to your recommendations
and bring you some sales.
If you are just a beginner and you don't have an opportunity to develop your own blog,
it's better to create a store.
Moreover the knowledge you'll get while learning dropshipping, marketing and customer service
can be really useful in real life.
When you take part in someone else's affiliate or monetization program,
you accept their requirements.
At the same time, when you do drop shipping, you fully own your venture.
That's your own website with your own style and design, with your unique product descriptions,
and with your own price markup.
Affiliate programs won't give you as much freedom as drop shipping store can.
That's my point!
