				Returning to the biz - need some help
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		Greetings,  
 
I use to be actively involved in adult webmastering and started doing it ten years ago, but gradually stops working my sites. I recently sold a bunch of my domains due to financial and health problems which caused me to be hospitalized for two months. Unfortunately, I was between jobs at the time and had no insurance (60k hospital bill).  
 
I am still recovering and am actively looking for employment but have decided to get back into the biz because from my past experience, there is no quicker way to make $$ than doing this, assuming you are willing to put in long hours. Of course, a lot had changed since I was actively doing this. For one thing, it seems like all the TGPs are selling spots. Have they become that profitable. I use to focus on free sites which I used to feed my pay sites. I got rid of all the pay sites and link lists that I had and have decided to concentrate on just building free sites and galleries. Does anyone build free sites anymore? 
 
I am wondering what the current trend is sales-wise in terms of free site/gallery submitting and using sponsors. When I first started, it was easy to get sales and the more work you did, the better your sales were. What kind so ratios are currently the norm? I need to know what to expect. I realize that it is likely much more difficult to make a buck in this biz than it was in 1999, but is it possible to average 2-3 sales per day after a month of building, spending 8+ hours a day? I probably need to be averaging 1,500 to 2,000 per month by early September. I hope that is realistic in todays market. 
 
I am VERY motivated and honest and am willing to work my ass off to get back on my feet again. I would appreciate any information and/or mentoring anyone might be willing to offer. I am also willing to do any paid work for anyone who needs stuff done. I put add for that in here last month but got no bites, despite being bumped by several well-meaning web-masters.  
 
I use to teach English Grammar and writing courses at a local University and can proofread text adds and am willing to do it for a fair price. I am also a songwriter/composer/musician who can produce broadcast quality music tracks and license them for use on your sites for a very reasonable price. I can do most genres of music but my best stuff is rock, hard rock, classical, and country. I can do hip hop beats and lyrics as well but haven't written many of those. I can use a variety of exotic instruments in the arrangements and have some stuff that is really world music oriented.  If you are interested in any of these services, or if you just want to help me out with some mentoring and/or information, feel free to contact me. I am not going to ask anyone for handouts. I am too proud to do that.  
 
If you are the owner of a link site or a TGP, please feel free to contact me about submitting. I am honest and will ALWAYS FOLLOW the rules. I have never cheated or replaced links with redirections.  
 
I would prefer to find sites like Freeones, which deliver consistent traffic over a long period of time, over TGPs that send massive amounts of traffic but delete your site as soon as it rotates out. I have always looked at Freeones as a link list for galleries and not really a TGP and have done well there with sales too. Any kinds of similar sites would be great so feel free to recommend them. A consistent traffic flow of 100 hits per day over a year would be far more preferable to me that thousands of hits for three weeks and then nothing. But I will submit to both types of sites. 
 
The biggest problem I had back in the day was that I didn't network or make many connections in the biz. I intend to change that. 
 
Anyway, please get in touch with me if you have any info that might be helpful or if you are interested in my services.
