If you want to make $1000 a week then you will need to do a lot of stuff before you find what works for you. This is not something you will find overnight - there is a ton of trial and error. There is also no guarantee that you will even make 500 a week let alone 1000. By the time you think you've found what works for you, the market has changed and you have to start all over again.

Its been said before, but you really just have to keep going. My motto is Build, Submit and Move on. Build your galleries, submit them anywhere and everywhere you can then move on to the next gallery. A very basic rince and repeat method.

Looking at your galleries, I wouldnt use those massive graphic headers. For me, less is better. My basic gallery templates (same ones i used 10 years ago) are converting best for me. Bigger thumbnails also work better for me.

The bottom line is, there are too many factors, especially for a newbie, to simply say do this and you'll make $1000 a week - right now you'll be lucky to make that your first year. Just take your time. Put in a few hours of submitting a day, every single day and in a few months you should start seeing something - assuming you are promoting a site that converts for your traffic!! Then you hope they dont close their doors before they pay you.

Good luck man.

i dont think that you ever submitted to me...40 bucks a month and you can submit 60 galleries (2 per day)...we have a pretty good renew rate each month...
