How long does it take to make money with tgps? (my results inside)
 

Ive been submitting galleries for 6 weeks and heres how I'm doing so far:

Week 1 - $0
Week 2 - $35
week 3 - $140
week 4 - $35
week 5 - $70
week 6 - $0

is that good, or normal, or bad?
how long does it take before i start to really make some money?

According to my counter, my galleries have been loaded 738,884 times, mostly from 4 or 5 BIG tgps, the rest are smaller ones.

Sounds kind of crappy to me, hope it gets higher for you over time.

are you submitting by hand or using a program?

Sounds like a waste of time.

How many TGPs do you submit to?

30 by hand, and about 30 auto submitting a day.
I never get listed on thehun, worldsex, al4a or anything

dude, that fucking sucks.

Keep pluggin away...it will get better :thumbsup

Kill yourself now.

You are doing something wrong. I am doing better submitting one a day.

seems probably average for a newbie, there's hardly any money in free submissions for new ppl i would say

do you think?
I mean, i dont mind plugging away if it means eventually Ill make some money. Every business starts small. But how long does it take before I start to make a lot more, like say $200 a day?

im ascertaining that from reading the replies here :Oh crap

never :Oh crap

never mind.. :error

Depends on your galleries and who you are submitting too.Of course don't be submitting teen galleries to mature sites..keep trying with the bigger ones and filter out what isn't working for ya ..you'll eventually get it going

i dont know. I use an fpa that seperates my galleries from the sponsor (cuz I had 1 sponsor steal my exact text once long ago) so I cant tell which specific girl or galleries got those sales.

hey you changed your post after I posted lol

what niches are you doing? you migh be under some heavy competition

i have had guys start from nothing with me and they are doing 3 sales and sometimes more each day

keep plugging and refining

some ebony, some mature, some lesbian, and some big babe.

Get yourself a submit pass on Tommys Bookmarks. I made twice what you posted only off his traffic in last 20 days.

You got like one sale per 90,000 uniques per gallery. That's just plain bad.

Start working on your template/product you are trying to sell to get a sale per 35,000 uniques per gallery. That is the average for teen/general traffic.

You can tweak and make a sell for every 20,000 uniques to galleries. That would boost your sales by 4,5 times. BUT you will probably end with less traffic because tgps tend to list non-selling galleries more than good galleries.

Anyway, want my honest opinion on (free) tgp submitting in 2005? Worthless. If you really want to do it anyway, go in smaller niches like BBW, Interracial, Shemale, etc... Those niches TGP need partners and submissions, not the teen/general tgp that have access to billions of free hosted galleries and 2000 submitters already.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

There's your problem...

Yeah sure they aren't being submitted as much (galleries to that site), but there isn't nearly as much traffic to those niches either. I would suggest trying

Teen, Hardcore, Models, Asian, Anal for a month and see what happens ;)

Use some reality sponsers, they do very well right now !

Ryan

does he take galleries or only free sites? i dont make free sites.
I tried once but i didnt get listed and made $0 so i didnt do any more

forget reality

go for the weird stuff no one else is doing

www.preggopoontang.com/main.html

He takes both free sites and galleries.

Indigo may be right, as I am just getting back into this business... You will have highly targetted traffic there however as a newbie knowing how to "tweak" your design for optimal performance would be learned best with more traffic.

So maybe a mix, trial and error with the cateogires I mentioned... As far as page setups and getting it to roughly 1 in 35K Gallery visits.. Than start working your targetted Niche's using what you have learned!

Good luck !

hehe sorry about that. :upsidedow

You need to show us some galleries....
Next you need to consider running a FHG's TGP... then every single gallery is your selling point. Every single spot is paying you cash. You'd easily make your weekly income in 1 day...

Now.. as for are you progressing at a normal pace???

YES YOU ARE!

And then you come here and ask and we look at your shit and give you some tips and next month you clear $800... then $1000 then $1200 then $1500 then $2000... and it keeps going and going... we have all been where you are and none of us did $2000 in our first month.. NONE OF US... so I don't need to hear bullshit from someone who got ponied by someone who already knew what they were doing... Well, my partner made that much his first month.. but then he had me to tell him how too...

wow thanks for the advice everyone
so
1. keep going
2. try different layouts
3. try unusual niches
4. try tommys and adding better tgps to submit to.
thanks
I just didnt know if I was like wayy off track or something

Yes I did, but that was in 2000. Now if you think it's that simple to start from scratch with no partner account and no experience, you are a dreamer.

what do you mean by that?
you mean as my 404 page or having a full blown tgp? I dont like running a tgp because I dont know how to trade and theres so many cheating trades and all that.

There ain't much money in tgp submitting today without partner accounts. If you want over 100k+ per day in traffic you have to get partner accounts.

Try to get your conversions at least somewhere around 1 sale per 30k unique gallery visitors, maybe ~1:15-20k with trials, thats a normal-good conversion rate these days.

And it's right that partner accounts don't harm, but everybody who is a successfull gallery submitter these days has started small some time ago. If you just sit around and do nothing you'll not get any partner accounts/connections to increase your traffic, the only way to get that is to keep submitting and improve your Database/Galleries/etc.

Take a look at http://www.adultsponsortest.com/advancedsubmitter.htm for a big TGP Database you could use as a starting point, just submit to the entire Database for ~2-3 months and then take a look at your stats and stop submitting to those TGPs that didn't sent you any traffic.

the first period is the hardest

hang on

keep trying, and read about it

I'd like to see some gallery examples. On a list of 60 tgps you should be doing much better than that. How often are you submitting? Also, don't pay attention to the free hosted galleries tgp idea. Everyone and their dog has one and the advertising runs stale after awhile as most sponsors use the same layout+text on every gallery they have. Concentrate on things you have control over, such as building your own. Going though FPAs is a very smart move. You can filter traffic out to alternate sites that suite the niche you are pushing and posibly net that extra sale you wouldn't have otherwise. Make the FPAs very SE friendly too. Choose really good terms to target. Just dont over do it with too many terms. Also use them sparingly. Don't become a keyword spam page. Stick to one term per FPA. If it's a very popular site, use the site as the term, just make sure it's not against sponsor TOS. If it's something really unique like mature stockings, play on that.

Shit those are some pretty shitty results man...change whatever you seem to be doing cause it isn't working very well..

you should get much more income from this stuff dude i guess you are doing some thing wrong..
can be the - layout, tgp , sponsor etc...

Many great reads here ! Dont give up man, you can do better !

that's just bad. When I was submitting only 1 or 2 times a week a year or more ago I was still making 300 a week from it. I still get rebills and rogue signups from that campaign to this day lol.

you need to start using dieselaction :)
