I suppose buying spots?
I hope $5 allows me to answer too

If you want to outsource your submissions without any knowlege about it you'll actually face two problems:

-It could be that you find a submitter who knows enough about submitting, and delivers great work for a cheap enough price to let you have your ROI. Unfortunately it doesn't take long until these submitters get it that they could actually make a lot more $ if they just submit their own galleries.

-Or you find a cheap submitter without much knowlege, but you'd end up with crappy submissions (Here it would be important to teach him with your own knowlege, to turn that into good submissions).

But as a affiliate program you could i.e. try to work with a few dedicated Affiliates (outsource the work to your affiliates). I'm pretty sure you'd find a few gallery submitters that would like to work with your program if you offer them a slightly higher payout, or a mixture of fixed salary and refshare. And all tools they might need for content and maybe gallery templates, etc. That would also make your program more interesting for other submitters, so you'd gain a lot for just a higher % payout for some of your partners.
