Setup addiliate product feeds instead of dropshipping?

I have a website that gets decent traffic, but does not sell anything.

I would like to do something to have it make some money, besides just ads.

I could setup a complicated dropshipping program, and process orders. It will take quite a bit of work keeping the store updated. I have enough experience with this, but I would like to try something different.

or

I can setup an affiliate program showing product feeds from Commission Junction and Amazon. This would take minimum work when setup.

Is the affiliate option a decent way to go? I am assuming I will not get repeat sales, and margins will be lower. But it should be able to run with minimum involvement, correct?

Which is a better way to go? Is the affiliate option a decent way to go?
