Hey thanks Shap, that means alot coming from you.
For those of you who don't know Shap, he's one cool cat. (and so is his "Boss")
Back when I was a soaking wet behind the ears newbie, Shap and Beth helped me out alot.
They had this deal on their TGP's called splitrev galleries. This was way before anyone had ever heard of a hosted gallery.
Basically if you built galleries for them, they'd post them on their sites and split the $$ with you for the signups they generated.
We hosted them on terra.es. It's a spanish free host that had no banners and if I'm not mistaken they allowed porn sites. (Or at least they never took the porn sites down) I had to get a friend who could read spanish walk me through the signup page.
Back then bandwidth was very expensive, you could blow $100 on one TGP picture gallery, so you had to know your shit would convert before you could submit it.
This way I got the bandwidth for free and guaranteed listings, so it allowed me to experiment with alot of different layouts and sales pitches without risking any money. This really helped me develop my sales skills and I made some money in the process.
We were using TopCash (now known as TopBucks) We were getting $40 per sign up on 1.95 trials to Iteens....and the sales were tracked by CTC (a third party) so they were "shave proof".....talk about the good old days!!!
Much later, when I bought my very first paid listing on a TGP, I bought it from Shap. For the last few years I've made a good living doing nothing but buying spots on TGP's. Shap and Beth definitely helped me on my way down that path.
If you don't already have an account with
Twisty's Cash you should get one. They treat their webmasters and their members like gold
