    There are advantages and disadvantages in both dropshipping and affiliate program (such as Amazon):

    Dropshipping:
    [+] you can get profit instantly once you make some sales.
    [-] once you get any orders, you must handle it.
    [-] you don't know condition of mercahndises, if a buyer get broken merchandise and you must be responsible although this is your supplier fault which you do not get involved. The buyer will give you negative feedback.
    [-] not easy to track shipping process
    [-] you must diligent monitor stocks of merchandises from suppliers.

    Affiliate program:
    [+]You don't need to handle any shipping. You only focus the marketing.
    [+]If a buyer gets broken merchandise, this is not your responsibility. This will not influence your reputation. If the buyer ask a refund, you only lose the commission.
    [-]Once you make sales, you can't get the commission instantly. You must wait the commission to be paid to you later. How long you get the commission, this depends on rules of each vendor.

    All are up to you to decide.

    As in everything in this world.

    It depends.

    If you are just starting out then it is best to just do affiliate sales. The only problem is that you will be getting like 4-8% per item. Which is pretty small. But it is constant and you are not responsible for anything besides getting traffic to your site.

    With dropshipping you can really reap in more of a profit, but it is a lot more stressful. You have to fulfill orders straight away, you have to make sure that everything is in stock so orders can be fulfilled. You have to treat your customers the way you want to be treated. Will you go back to a store that promised 2 day delivery, and it ends up being 3-5 days? I would not.

    I also think big, and I would go into items like tvs, dvds, video games, contests to win free tickets to see the next 3d movie in your area.

    How about a 3d movie trailer site or listing the latest 3d movies. Monetize with Amazon and adsense.

      This is a great idea, you can also write some reviews for 3D movies and update the latest movies on your site. You can earn money.

    Hi::
    If you want to start building own movie site. Hey you can start in minutes, you can use the moviepress script which is available here http://bit.ly/QcYZBU. The script is available at discounted price. If you want to jump right away this is would be great.

    Secondly himanuzo has commented above that you can make money after sales. If you make the site ready you can start making sales and then money.

    Let me know if you have any questions?

    Regards,
    Rahul Dhongadi

      I think this would be a great way to go. 3DMovie.com is a great domain name and it should be easy to build some great SEO with it. I think a great way to go would to be to niche it down a bit and maybe focus on say the old 3D movies from the 70s that are now being put on Bluray. (yes they had 3d in the 70s' its not a new thing in films).

      Just my thoughts,

      Ben

    Review new 3D movies coming out. Be outrageous with your reviews, then ... sell advertising on your site.

    You don't need to be as big as Rotten Tomato to make good money.

    Don't just limit yourself to movies that have come out on amazon. Check out the Fandango affiliate program. Fandango Affiliate Program You could be capitalizing on the people searching for new 3d titles in the theater which will help with your SEO.

    On top of that in your reviews of in theater movies you can promote a list on the bases that you'll keep people posted on when movies come out on netflix (another affiliate program) or movie at amazon/your dropshipping. This lets you still capitalize on movies that might just be rental quality.

    Best luck!

      This.
      I think that would be a great idea. With all the "3D" movies coming out, I think with a little marketing know how, it could be a profitable little site. Also, you could sell "high-definition" movies on your site. Maybe you could have a little mini discussion center on the movie, similar to IMDB, or what Yahoo finance does for stocks. Try and learn what your competitor is not doing.

    So many options here!

    I take it you won the auction on Flippa then? Well done!

    I myself would turn it onto an amazon affiliate site and model imdb.

    You can expand quite alot as well as dvd's sell blu ray players, 3D tv's, surround sound everything the movie buff drools over.

    I think with the right suppliers drop shipping could be very profitable as well.
