Why do some people sell designs? Because their design work is crap? or because they are good at design work and decided to specialize in it?
Why do some people sell managed hosting? Because if they were any good at it, they would simply runs thousands of servers for themselves? Or because they are good at managing servers and love their job?
Why do some people sell content? Because their content is crap and they couldn't sell it themselves on their own paysites? Or because they are good at shooting content and decided to specialize in that?
Why do some people sell scripts? Because their scripts suck and they can't make money running their own sites? Or because they are good at coding and decided to specialize in that?
....?
Adam Smith described specialization and devision of labour as the engine that drives progress. Shooting content, designing sites, coding scripts, managing servers,... and yes, generating traffic all require different skills, different types of creativity,... Different people doing what they do best leads to higher productivity. (Google: David Ricardo and the Law of comparative advantage / opportunity cost).
I never understood why people think that the same principles that apply to every other activity in this industry, wouldn't apply to selling traffic.
