What does it take to be lucrative in the freesite game nowadays?

I submit free sites to promo my site, all I can tell you is I think this would be very hard if not impossible. I see at most 12 to 16 unique’s a day from the sites I have submitted to. I submit to good link lists, not the big boys here but that mainly cause of my niche and the content I can provide for it, so I don’t waste their time submitting to them when I know they won’t take the sites from posts i have placed here asking about it. Personally I feel if you were going to do this for a living, you would have to really bust your ass with a shit load of sites and a really really good plan. There are tuts around on how it can be done with building a submitting around 10 per day, but they are some what old and I really can’t say if they would work as I have not tried them personally. I used them to figure out what I had to do. But look at the numbers people post here in their sales stats and then start doing to math and you will see what it takes to make money on it. Now how much money are you talking? If you are living in a 3rd world country where a pack of smokes cost $1 then maybe yes you can, but if you are living in the USA, you better get a day job cause for the whole 90 days odds are you wont make enough to put food on your table.

If you're strictly going to do only freesites, then yes, volume is definitely the key. If you are generally getting even 1:800 with a sponsor & you send 800 uniques/day to them, statistically you should be getting a sale a day. I know there are ups and downs, but if you evened it out over a long enough period, it probably would work out. The only thing would be to work out how many sites you need to build to get to the level of traffic that you need to make the $ you want. Basically, set a goal and work towards it.

What I have found, though, is that building freesites leads to other things...galleries, LinkLists or TGPs, hubs, more and more 'web presence'. All these things are a potential source of income.

The main thing is time. If you have a family to feed, mortgage to pay etc, then yes, get a day job & do this on the side. If you have alternate sources of income & can devote a ton of time to it, it will pay off.
