I understand that money is not necessarily a prerequisite to starting a business in some cases, but let’s say in a situation we’re money is needed, Is it better to get a job, or to start a “side hustle” with drop shipping and affiliate marketing, because from what I have heard is basically in a nutshell: affiliate marketing and drop shipping is bad. And that’s basically my understanding of it, I’m not sure if I am misunderstanding. But what I do think I understand is that solely depending on drop shipping and affiliate marketing as a “main thing” is generally a bad idea since it does not follow the commandment of Control.
And so basically my question simplified: is affiliate marketing and/or drop shipping a bad idea as a whole, or is it a good idea as a start to get cash flow in order to also fund your idea and actual main business that your doing? Or is it better to just get a job and fund your idea from it until (I’m presuming) your business makes more money then your job? Or none of it is needed at all and you just find a way to sell something.
I’m not necessarily sure.. or maybe there’s a better way in which I’m not aware of.
