What held back 90% of affiliates, who opened their own sites, was the lack of ability to create a product that stood out. Finding, sorting, directing, creating, editing, a good product in the quantities required is a 40 hour a week job for a professional. How an amateur does it and then runs and manages his site with all the problems it creates. Is also a 40 hour a week job. what happens is they end up working 80 hours and failing at both.
