satinchristy - if I was going to open up an affiliate program that had HFS & basing things on how I build now & ways to speed up the process, I'd build 4 or 5 Free Sites using the same template & just swap out the pics - but don't release all of them at the same time. Put one out this month, one out the next month, etc.
This will be very slow going at 1st, depending on how many pay sites you have to promote (I'm assuming you'll want HFS for each paysite) but down the road, the work for that month's HFS will already be down & you can work on something else or start the process all over again to prepare for the coming months.
I'd also suggest not releasing more than 7 HFS a week - I know when I'm adding them, I rarely add more than one per day per sponsor.
I'd also put them on a surfer friendly domain - the domain the paysite is located on would be best
