hi JustAnotherDude and my fellow newbieS
I'm a newbie as well, let me tell some things i have learned in my 2-3 months of webmastering that have worked well for me
submit sites when you have something worth submitting, not just for the sake of submitting something
you have to spend money to make money in any business and this one is no exception, buy your own hosting and content, if your sites are ok you should make that money straight back and with the money you make from your sites, invest it back into your business again until it can stand alone without needing outside funds
dont buy traffic until you know how to convert the various traffic sources... i wasted some money there...
but not very much
If you make free sites, learn html, learn to make whole sites in notepad, you can make an unlimited amount of completely different templates using just tables, learn html
don't sign up with too many sponsors, 10 or so seems ok, thats about 400 sites at least to promote? It just gets confusing, I got booted out of a program for not sending any hits i think, just signing up for the sake of it is a waste of time, forget about doing that and use the ones you have, keep it simple at first
