Question for free site submitters (not LL owners)

WarBot · 2006-08-23, 03:31 PM

The day job thing isnt a problem, Im not working right now because I quit my job to move and get settled into my new home (and my vacation is added in there so its not a total loss). I have a job lined up so when I get moved in Ill be able to go right to work.

For some reason I thought that I should be getting at least 1 sale per free site. I mean, I get listed on LOR, Penisbot, Smutgremlins, etc... so I figured that traffic I should be turning into at least 1 sale per site. After 13 sites I felt like I was way behind and I couldnt figure out what I was doing wrong. I dont have a problem with long term free site submitting. I wont be able to do it daily (I build sites extremely slow) but a couple/few a week shouldnt be a problem.

Im not a quitter, I just was expecting a sale here and there was normal and I wasnt cutting it. I didnt see any point in continuing to torture myself and spend so much time on it when I wasnt doing good and everything I have tried wasnt working. But I will take it as a long term project. I love building free sites so I can at least keep it up as a hobby. Maybe one of these days I will catch a break and be able to move to full time

Theres some great advice here and in the PM's Ive gotten. I feel like an attention whore or something now but Im glad I was burned out and posted this. Its given me an entirely new outlook on this and new motivation. Replaced my short term motivation with a long term one and a better understanding of how this whole adult thing works these days.

The free site building biz ain't what it used to be.

But, 13 sites, 1 sale, that suggests you are either in a bad niche, or that your selling is too weak.

There's a natural tendency to try to build freesites to make reviwers and list owners happy, but a freesite that only provides free content for somebody else and makes you no sales is a lose-lose for both you and the linklist - altho much more of a loss for you (It's a loss for the linklist, even if the linkllist owner doesn't realize it, because linklist owners needs happy submitters, even if they act like submitters are the enemy).
