FLAIR-

Here's some good advice for you. $500/month is possible with work. But once that is done it is easier to go to $1000/month...

First, get a way to create and update a site quickly. Don't pay for it- I'm sure there are some free tools you can use to create a TGP. Or you can create a blog using something like blogspot.com (and in that case hosting is included). The important thing is that it be easy to get up and to make modifications and stuff like that.

If you program, then all the better. I do all my stuff with custom PHP and that means that I can have it exactly the way I want it. It also means I can spend countless hours perfecting things just the right way, but that's another story...

Second, put up something ORIGINAL. Something different. Humor works well.

It is for this need-of-originality that your TGP notion will need to be expanded. Because when you say "TGP" what you are really saying is "I want to do the same boring thing that everyone else has been doing for years."

An aspect of this originality is the choice of content and of sponsor programs. The best thing you can do here is promote paysites that have just been released. You will have less competition, you will have something that hasn't been exposed to death, and for some reason this helps immensely in your search engine ranking.

Then find some sites that'll link to you. I will, if your stuff is original. In fact, I know many webmasters who will link to you based on the quality of your stuff and not necessarily on the amount of your traffic. They are all idealists. And they are mostly poor. But nontheless...

All of this can be done for free. No design costs, no hosting costs (e.g. if you use blogspot), no traffic costs...
