Hi, I am newbie to e-commerce and drop-shipping. I have a niche and wanted to sell the product online. I found Aliexpress has product for drop-ship. At the same time, I also want to promote this product from Amazon affiliate (due to product branding and quality). Can I promote Amazon affiliate on my website and drop-ship my products from Aliexpress at the same time?

What is the best approach and advice?

Appreciated your comments.

Thank you.

    I'm not sure what you are really asking here. Are you saying you want to build a hybrid site that has half its products ordered on your site and the other half are linked to, taking people away from your site?

    If so, it's normally not a very successful outcome. Once people leave your site and go to Amazon, they probably won't come back. Sure, you'll get the commission on anything they buy on Amazon but getting 4-6% commission is hardly as profitable as the 20-50% or more you would make if they bought directly from your site.

      Thanks Dave. You have answered my question I think hybrid is not doable for me. I have to go with one business modal either sell own product or affiliate marketing.

    promote Amazon affiliate on your website , i think its not a good idea and i am agreed with dave_hermansen that visitors who land your product page and then visit to amazon so why they come back again on your site?

    Do dropshipping instead. You will have higher profit margins
