Im a beginner without much to invest, i come from poker, poker was the first shot for me at making money online and i managed to make a side income with it but i wanted a less stressful and volatile way to do it, so i researched every single method to make money online.

I have three options on my budget:

1. Ebay dropshipping
2. Freelance copywriter/blogger
3. Make a free site affiliate store on weebly or blog

I have read a lot about these methods but the opinions vary therefore they didn't help me to reach a solid conclusion so i don't know what to expect and that's important because i don't have the luxury to experiment, i have to focus into one thing and go all out with it. My problems:

1. Ebay dropshipping - refunds worry me, i don't know how many listings i have to create in order to be successful, is it a safe method to make income? looks very dangerous with an unpredictable risk of ruin. Variance was one of the reasons i gave up on poker but again i don't know how big it is in this business.

2. Freelancing - i just don't know how easy it is to find a job into a big blog through pitching and how much you could possibly make. Again im capable to put a lot of effort and create a portfolio but i just don't know what to expect and if my effort will pay off. I generally like writing if i have something to say, i wrote an ebook once for fun but i don't know if its worth doing it proffesionally.

3. Affiliating - My insignificant budget worries me since my marketing will lack a lot, also the subdomain name will make it look even worse, i have read very negative things about affiliating, people with incredible budgets fail, who says i will succeed especially with no money at all? i don't have any social media experience either. The good news is that it doesn't cost anything to try and its pretty safe and stressfree compared to the rest but i want to make money, i don't want to speculate. Is this a solid way to do it?

What do you suggest? can you give me a realistic opinion on this matter? if you was me, what would you pick out of these three? or what other method do you suggest that i probably didn't discover yet?

Out of the 3 options you stated, I would personally go for freelancing. Dropshipping can be complicated at times, especially when the customers encounter issues on their item. I think the most lucrative would be to do some freelancing. You can work on your own time, plus, if the clients like your work, there's a chance that they'll hire you again and even gain real connections.
 
dropshipping can be a nightmare unless you know the ins and outs. returns, damaged items, problems with product and international shipping can become headaches (even though you're dropshipping, if it's sent out wrong you're the one that needs to clean it up). I have a team to handle this and I still get headaches...

freelancer less of a headache and easier to get into but depending on your skill level may or may not be worth it.

have you thought about mining... could be hit or miss as well though
