Dropshipping or Affiliate?

[Jonleehacker]

When I hear about the dropshipping model, it always seems to me that it is more risky (capital outlay) and more labor intensive than being an affiliate, with only a small percentage increase in earnings.

If you factor in how easy it is for an affiliate to expand their product line by adding new products and mixing products from different manufacturers, the choice seems even more in favor of being an affiliate to me.

I'm sure you thought of going the affiliate route, so I'd love to hear about why you chose the dropshipping model?
