Drop shipping can be harder than it looks, you need a quiet diverse skill set. You need to be across marketing, seo etc. You need to have a site (or ebay or something) that works well and keeps current with your suppliers products and their stock levels. You need to accept payments and deal with fraud.

You need to field questions from your customers as the merchant, without generally being able to have access to the products you are selling. You need to deal with shipping companies and angry customers questioning the legitimacy of your products. (Because they are cheap and coming from another country and they were slightly different to the last one they brought.... they must be fake).

Affiliate marketing is a lot easier place to start, you send s customer, get a commission and don't have to deal with the rest of the process. In terms of products I think the greater opportunities are in drop shipping, as long as you can do everything mentioned. There are people though making a fortune on leads without having to worry about everything else.
