I believe I answered that in an above post, but just in case you missed it here it is again:

We don't monetize the traffic ourselves, we only broker it. The reason why our sellers pass it through us to get sold to our clients is also fast monetization, primarily.

See, if they send us the traffic and we sell it to someone else, who made a deposit with us prior to placing an order, the seller can put in a payout request as soon as the account passes $100. The payout will not take longer than a day or two, often being made the same day. With a traditional sponsor the lead time to getting paid is normally much longer, at least a couple of weeks longer. Plus you have to worry about switching out poorly performing sponsors, tours and so on. With us they just set the traffic to go to a certain link and forget about it.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the chances of your submit profits going up are not very high. The number of sites taking free submissions (open or partner) is declining by the day. The cost of paid partner accounts is going up by the day. Add to it the increased popularity of other site types and I'm sure you can forsee the death of the gallery submission model, the way we now know it, in a not too distant future.
