I've recently started submitting, and, it's a tough business...
takes a lot of time, and a lot of effort..
and until you have partner accounts, I'd guess you can probably make more working at McDonald's....
it takes me a good 6 hours to submit one gallery to all the TGP's using advanced submitter.. (That includes enhancing the imagines, cropping the thumbnails, and doing all submitting manually...)
From what I've heard, Chameleon or
Dreamsubmitter is better for a newbie than advanced submitter..
If you want, try
Dreamsubmitter's $2.95 trial for a month.. see if it's worth continuing for
HJNet also provides a custom database that enhances dream submitter...
