I am going to say that this largely depends on your goals. You can start affiliate marketing with little upfront cost. You will promote other people’s products and earn commissions. You do not have to worry about creating or shipping products. You will focus on marketing and driving sales. Selling your own products requires more effort. You need to create the product, manage inventory, and handle customer service. However, you keep 100% of the profit. If you want to scale faster, selling your own products can be more rewarding. If you prefer lower risk and simpler setup, affiliate marketing is a great option. Both paths offer opportunities to earn money. It all depends on your approach.
