I'm feeling really really good about my freesites lately. I'm starting to see the results of trying to learn more about why one site did well when another similar one didn't etc etc.
Build...submit...learn seems to be the way to go for me, rather than
build...submit...forget.
I'm much more organised now than I have been since day one, and I'm genuinely looking forward to 2007's freesites & some gallery projects, along with developing some new domains and some cam sites. I'll be buying more content too as lately I've been using lots of sponsor content which I think has cost me a few listings.
I took dareutwo's advice recently and I now have a day-to-day structured plan starting in January, to enable me to stay on top of my freesite building instead of drifting into a new project and missing a couple of days of submits.
It really feels like I'm treating my business as a real business now, and I take a lot of pride in what I do.
Without the advice from GG&J and the members here I'd be in a completely different position, so I suggest reading those acceptance/rejection emails and digging deep into old threads now and then for some great help.
One of the best things is that here you can learn from the best in the biz - from good people that have done it all before and are kind enough to help for FREE! No sugar-coating, no bullshit, and a very tasty learning curve.
Making freesites doesn't suck!
