In a previous thread, I asked how to spend my first $200 made from last month.
I purchased a new basic hosting account with occ for $6.95, for some reason, the site is still not up after 3 days since updating the name servers. They have a 30 day refund policy. If the site is not up before then, I'm going to get the refund. I'll keep you posted.
I purchased 1 month of chameleon link list submitter $24.95. I have to say, it's impressive.
Day 1
I spent my yesterday designing a standard warning page, entry page, and 2 galleries using vendor provided content. That took about 2 hours.
Then I started up chameleon, updated the recipts, and started pluggin away. It took me a solid 3 hours learning it and getting everything setup. There is a moderate learning curve, but it wasn't bad. Not as intuitive as it could be. Still a couple of options I'm not sure about what they are for.
Then I started submitting. The auto submit was fast and painless. The manual submit is quite a chore the first time. Mostly just trying to read the captchas
, some of them are very hard to read. Took me about 3 hours to submit to a list of 200 sites total.
Day 2
Today I got home from work and couldn't wait to get started. I now have the templates setup and a good idea of how to use chameleon. This time it only took about 15 minutes to build a new free site with 2 galleries using the templates I made yesterday. About another 10 minutes setting up chameleon to submit the new free site, then about 1 hour to auto and manual submit. Finally, about 5 minutes to do the email confirmations.
I get about a 5% rejection rate. I think I can get this down to less than 1% once I get a handle on everything. Some of them were for bad descriptions, submitting twice by accident, and some I'm not sure why.
I'm getting emails regularly now from those sites accepting my galleries. Most of them say it takes 1 or 2 days to get listed.
I'm going to submit about 1 free site everyday this month and see how much I earn. I'm promoting a single sponsor for this project that I want to compare to last month where I did very little, yet earned $93.
If I get real ambitious, I'm going to submit free sites on another domain promoting different sponsor.
