Using 3rd Party tools is more reasonable so that you would have enough time to pay attention to your marketing strategy. I agree with Veronica.

You post is so helpful and I learned so much from your tips! Keep it up! Derek,

The investment you put in should pay off as you go along. The efficiency you get from this is just tremendous. This way you'll be able to concentrate more on marketing strategies.

I can say that I've used datafeedr for awhile now and it has been extremely easy to use and setup a full store of products or drip feed of posts. 2 - Outsourcing is a commonly used practice; however, I've not done it personally as I've been a developer professionally for many years. Often times you do get what you pay for, unless you find that true gem of an outsource developer. Minimum, you're probably going to pay by the hour at a rate of somewhere around $20-30 on the low end. 3 - Not sure if you are asking about languages or tools, but I've always been a nuts-and-bolts kind of developer and use Textpad for most of my development, particularly when writing PHP code. The times I have used an IDE, I've gone with NetBeans. 4 - Typically you would be working with a datafeed, which is really just a huge comma separated file (or other delimiter) of data pertaining to affiliate products. You're not scraping any sites but instead retrieving the datafeed, parsing it or saving to a database, and then finally displaying the data on your site. Hope that helps some!
