But yeah, all it takes is a computer and an internet connection, and most people have that, even the so-called 'poor'.
How much is "skilled work" and how much is "grunt work" or can be taught in a few months with intensive training?

How much has to be freelance and how much can be done in house?

I suspect that 90% of the affiliates here don't earn much more than $50k a year. Still that would be more than enough to bring it in house and pay them a minimum or just above minimum wage and the sites get all the traffic the way they want it, can run to please themselves and not the affiliates and the big plus is it gives the sponsor the control.

Thinking much wider than porn as well.
