Well, then that means your profit just increased about 20%

But look at it this way - $30 for the sale - $4 for bandwidth = $24 profit

Didn't use a calculator for this one uh?

Congrats with the sale Alphawolf

Oh man - and I'm usually good a math - LOL

Ok - here's the corrected formula

$35 for sign up - $4 for bandwidth = $31 profit

Let me check my work:
31 + 4 = 35

Yup - that one's right

Now, I know this site took a long time to build & tweak & whatnot, but once you get the process down, you can crank out a really good free site in about an hour or so. $31/hour is a nice wage

Here's hoping this is the first of thousands and thousands more, AW.

I'm a slow builder as I build everything by hand, I only have index.html template that has warning and 2257 statement text ready (without photo set data of course) and it usually take me some 2 hours. After that I put recips in place and post my site.

I have never built video site, only pic sites. I have fast ADSL connection and I have tested many paysites short video clips and even 1 minute clips sometimes still get long time to load. Of course I'm here in Finland and clips are far away.

Building a free site is not so easy as some webmasters may think. You must have recips in warning page, so that easily gets you building them more or less lookalikes. I try to avoid that making graphics: logo, enter link, gallery links, back link, all are graphics. I also try to use different bgs than black and white, althought sometimes they are best to use. And, I try to find new layouts and designs. I also often use same colors that paysite I promote have. Sometimes I use colors the picture set I use have. Sometime I use colors that are common to theme, like pink for lesbian, dark orange for Asian etc.

This far it has work well, of course I have got rejections too, but most LLs have listed them.

As Cleo said build at least 1000 free sites. Think about it: if you're lucky and every site makes 1 sign-up per month, you got 1000 of them. Let's say average pay is $15 - if you use both PPS and recurring - you made 15,000. Of course in real life not every site make that sign-up but income will still be good.

It just takes some time to build them, but that's our job.

Congrats on the sale. The best thing is it sounds like you're really learning as you go along. That's what makes you stick around, and make it in this business!

The great thing about free sites with pictures (that go with videos that are on the sponsor's site) is that you can promote the videos thru your links. like: "If you like these pictures of amateur Kim then you're going to love her Hardcore videos!" or what ever.

I'm a bit thick headed, but the older I get the more I realize it's best to just listen to what other people in the know tell ya.

I logged into the sponsor to grab some promo stuff for the site I'm building today and discovered I made another sale.

Now that site is hitting penisbot and wetplace as the traffic from most other lists has died down a week later...that's sorta cool.

Do people notice a spike in sales over weekends- in general?

[Greenguy]

I haven't tracked in on a regular basis for a year or so, but when I did, I usually noticed an increase in sales (as well as a decrease in traffic) on the weekends.

I guess some people are lonely

I had never noticed it, but just checked stats remote (which shows your day of week averages back to jan 2003) and it appears like GG suggested, my traffic is slightly lower on weekends.. and sales, particularly on Saturdays slightly higher on average.

Wednesday seems to be my standout day for traffic and sales... and Tuesdays appear the worst historically for what it's worth.


And congrats on your success Alphawolf.. also your timing is good to be getting started seriously right now too imho.. we are just about to enter the time of year I seem to always do best in, late September to January.

You're the second person I've heard from that says Tuesdays are the worst. Cheap movie night gets 'em?

Congrats on your sales, Alphawolf! I've been doing too much TGPing lately & not enough free sites. TGPs are faster, but I definitely get more sales on my free sites, even months down the road.

That's cool to know.

BTW, ************** sends me some nice traffic.

Just submitted another site to 18 LL's including yours. Get crackin' on the reviews, buddy!

Thanks. I'm taking a long time to build my free sites. I'm ending up making my own big banners with some basic animation.

If a banner would tend to get any attention these should do it.

I actually prefer making free movie sites a lot more. I find the layout allows one to put some good ad copy as ya describe each clip.

Pics ya need to make the thumbs then link the thumbs to the pics. The horror.

Collecting the recips is still time consuming.

It's all worth it though.

awww c'mon! Kudos where it's due! they get done pretty fast these days! (compared to the old delay of at least 2 weeks or worse most of time at least) :p

and blame Security man if they get behind anyway! I only recieve the messages offering money and well wishes ;-)

[Alphawolf]

Actually, the reviews do get done really quick from you guys.

You cleo and smutlinks seem the quickest in general from the small sampling I submit too.

Security_man rightly rejected a site, I fixed it and resubmitted. Now...

SHOW ME THE TRAFFIC!
