Drop What? Affiliate Huh?

This week was all new to me. I had never heard of drop shipping or affiliate marketing before the lessons and assignments this week. When I first looked at the assignments, I imagined drop shipping to be something like Amazon breaking into your house to deliver packages when you’re gone (I couldn’t have been further off). And affiliate marketing, well it kind of explains itself I guess; a party advertising for a product being sold by someone else. I had no idea how that would work though. My first thought was “social media influencers” (aka blonde, spray tanned, fitness guru, models) using hashtags and taking cheesy pictures with face wash to advertise with a 15% off code-link in bio. I guess I was on a track that eventually leads to the right track. All in all, I learned so much this week and my opinions on the two methods changed as I read everyone else’s points and opinions. I love being able to learn from my classmates. It really broadens my view and makes the information seem much clearer.
