Consider two (fictional) people, Gwen and Jacob.

Gwen is an English writing major. Her focus is article writing and she has a great following on Elance along with some private work. Gwen knows nothing about setting up a website. She considers herself technically challenged and avoids anything having to do with Wordpress, Domains, DNS, etc.

Jacob is a web developer/programmer. He has developed websites since the mid '90s when pure HTML ruled the web. These days it's all about Wordpress, and he is considered the "go-to" guy for several clients. Jacob's weakness is writing. Sure, he has full command of the English language, but it takes him an hour+ to write an article, and two more hours to proof read it. His content is far from optimized for SEO, and he's not even sure what that means.

Between Gwen and Jacob, which do you think would be more successful as an affiliate marketer and why?
