Yeah, but without traffic you have nothing. And content can be purchased, then the proggy manager doesn't need to cut you in at all. (But then he has the cost of the content, which probably won't be quite as good as yours. Still he can go that way so you gotta price it so he won't.)

Getting traffic is a critical and rare skill, worth every bit as much as what you bring to the table, plus he needs to do ongoing affil proggy management, too, which ain't a free ride.

Look at it this way: he has traffic, so he can go out and sell it for 60% recurring with no ongoing work. So why work for you for less? (yeah yeah, shaving, etc. There's always some fucking thing to watch out for.)

Traffic is worth more than content.
