Hiya. I was just wondering how much the results differ between chameleon submitter auto/manual submitting with and without partner accounts. I've been trying to build up my reputation by submitting some nice galleries, but the results, traffic-wise and thus sales-wise, are terrible. Are PAs the only way to make money submitting to TGPs?
Also, since people recommend against PA requesters, doesn't it take a ridiculously long time to request them all? It may be worth the time, but unless the results are lightyears beyond my current non-PA submitting, I won't bother.
How long, submitting galleries every day, should it take for money to start coming in?
