I want to make galleries - any info?
 

I want to start making galleries to submit to TGP sites and such, are there any scripts I can use to build the galleries from certain inputs like a folder of images? Also are there any free tgp submitters?

dont go there
it's a hard place to start.

start by blogging or making free sites or something like that

Galleries are short term money and a hard biz to crack.

Its something I want to do, as short term money is what I need. And I know once you get fast at making and good at converting galleries you can make alot of money.

so your sig is a photoshop?

this is a handyman board, what are those galleries you're talking about????

Best not to try, it's very saturated already. Not really much money to be made.

Submitting every day is tedious and the money doesn't come right away so its something that is easy for lots to give up on.

If you change your strategy, it can be long term money. When you start, prepare enough galleries and a schedule that you will submit each one specifically with the date for no less than 3 months. You can schedule submissions ahead of time with many of the submitters and I know that with GallerySubmitter.com, you can set it to submit for 3-6-9 months turn off your computer and not even touch it again untill after that.

You can use tools like Arles gallery maker or Chewed Straw gallery maker to build galleries with but it's easier to build templates that link to generic image sources and generic full sized image names. That way you can just create multiple directories with the same templates and just fill the thumbs and fullsizedimages folders with different pictures with the same file names.

Hit me up if you need any help with this.

I have been building galleries and free sites to promote my web cam site and that alone is a pain in the ass. I sure would like to know what other options are available for promoting a cam site. I stayed away from submitting to TGP's totally.

Its not a photoshop as far as I'm aware but its not my stats :) I have built a gallery like you suggested where I would just have to fill up thumbnail and images folders. Now, how do I submit, do I HAVE to buy submission software?

hehe, thats what i tought :)

first thing, find GREAT, not over-saturated promo content

then according your niche create a list of 10-50+ big tgps which accept that niche and hand submit to them (you may want to use robo form to make that easier but still hand submit)

then you can get some software like chameleon submitter to submit to hundreds others, which will probably send you just 1/10 from the traffic you will get from the big ones where u hand submitted

Oh i see, thanks bucksmania

ok, which part of DON"T DO IT don't you understand?

create blogs, review sites, swap links, you'll be much better off

but if you still want to give it a try get adam submitter - its 100% free

also don't submit from one domain, start with one, once you get like 20 galleries listed here and there start submitting form another one, taht way you'll have some SE traffic flowing to couple of domains, just use the same email or you'll get banned

There are many tools out there so if you are an experimentator you can play around and try a few of them (choice of submitter is mostly a question of personal choice IMHO) However, most of people will probably agree that 95% of webmasters stick with one of the top brands after some time anyway...

Chameleon (www.chameleonsubmitter.com) is a choice of many since it has a fair database that updates on a daily basis, all sites are set up according to their individual site rules.. you can fully customize it if you need.. its clean, easy to operate, fast, and very user friendly. All in all, there is all you need.

Last but not least, wondering too much about the submitter almost equals a waste of time.. You need other things to focus on when submitting galleries. If you have partner accounts, you are the king. As for submitter, its still just a tool, something that will help you with the grunt work while you use the know how.., just grab it and you're good to go.

If you need something regarding Chameleon, feel free to hit me up. If you dont want to invest too much, go for a monthly license and then see yourself. Eventually, there are even sponsors out there willing to buy you a copy.
