With PAs, Without PAs

[Simon IA Cash]

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?

you should submit 2-3 galleries regularly on a day by day basis at least for the 3 months to be able to see what results you get. Sometimes it just take month to get listed somewere.
However, having 0 Partner Accounts you hardly get more than average results these days. You still can get sales without them, however Partner Accounts are the key. You should start looking for them - either on your own or using Chameleon Partner Account Requester.

Chameleon Submitter is a fair tool, its easy and makes the job smooth, however its just a submitter - people should not expect the miracles without Partner Accounts/Paid Spots, good galls with unique design, etc....

I agree with g-color.

You must submit everyday without excuses for as long as possible. You can have a good guess to your direction in about 1 month. Of course you may see a sale in your first week, but that could just be luck. Keep going for a full month, 2, 3... and see.

You can apply for partner accounts once you have 3 galleries to show as samples, with most places. Partner accounts are a must.

Good luck.

There is no pat answer to your question. I will say this though...

the vast majority of my own sales...I'd estimate as high as 95%...all come from sites where I have PA's. Applying for them individually can be a long, tedious process, but the facts are that ALOT of things in this business involve long, tedious processes.

And many of them are the ones that make the most difference in the bottom line.
