It's still more then just copy.Maybe you should look at who started this thread, before you give me any rules on it. And obviously you know little to nothing about this side of it, as many offers allow you to push traffic directly to the affiliate page, so all you have to do is write 3 lines of ad copy.
Your argument is using copy as a skill beyond freelance vs learning to program
I would still disagree but, I see your point. I would always argue that learning to program is a invaluable skill that not many people have today. (Which is also why there pay is so high starting) Also being able to whip out a MVP (minimum viable product) by yourself in a couple weeks to test an idea without spending a dollar is also very, very, valuable.
I would also argue that affiliate marketing is becoming more and more saturated + more and more shady
You should join the INSIDERS and watch me outsource a native phone app, both IOS and android, I did it for a lot less than that, and had it in the store in about 8 weeks.
I don't doubt this one bit. Let me see specs on the app and I could probably tell you why it was so cheap. We could've also had it done for cheaper but, when you are a mechanic and having another fix your car, you know what to look for to have it done right. Even going along with this analogy, how many people get screwed by mechanics everyday? It's the same with outsourcing.
Whether I was some dumb dumb fighting for this or not - The Quora link I posted should be enough to make you reconsider.
Right, I am talking about quality programming that is bug free, well documented and does what it is supposed to. What you need to know is; the pain your customer is in, how to solve it AND how to compel them to buy your solution. As stated many times previously in this thread, you don't have to know how to build a car to hire a mechanic, or have an MBA to start a business, or a law degree to hire an attorney.
Yes, many times you will get a finished product 'exactly' how you want it. Need to update it? Maybe hired a local guy now to go full-time? Could be a nightmare depending on how the other developer setup his code and will cost you over double now, or the framework gets out dated and is slow compared to everything else because you have a old school .net developer, these are just a few things you need to lookout for.
