#5. Dropshipping.

For those who do not know this well, they might think that affiliate marketing and dropshipping are the same. No. Affiliate marketing and dropshipping are not the same.

Dropshipping websites:

1. CJdropshipping.

You go to dropshipping websites and create your account. Then after you create your account go to the inventory page and select the products you want to sell. Once you get the products, download the images of those products. Go to your online store and add those products as if they were yours. Use the images that you have downloaded from the dropshipping website.

This is where dropshipping differs with affiliate marketing. Customers make the purchases on your store, then you go and buy the products from the affiliate website. When you buy the product from the dropshipping website, you enter the address of your customer. Hence the dropshipping company will deliver the product to your customer. Therefore, it will look like you are the one who made the sale to your customer. But all you are is a middleman.
