Affiliate vs. ecommerce site

Hello,

What sort of decisions do you make to be an affiliate for someone else's site, vs. selling the products directly on your own site?

    There are so many answers to this questions and not everyone will have the same ones.

    IMO - Cost of business set up is one of the primary factors but there are many many others.

      There is, e.g.:
      1) Are you able to provide great customer support?
      2) Are you keen on handling refunds?

      There are many other issues of course, but these are the biggest to me.
      All you gain is apparent (!) 100% of the profit (minus outsourcing of course), but these days you can get digital products for affiliates with 100% comission. So the question I would ask myself is - is the hassle of setting up your own business really worth it? Hm... tough one. )
