How do I start my first TGP?

[gianni]

I am interrested in starting my own TGP.How do I start?How does traffic trading work?How does a TGP owner earn mony?

[Toby]

First question, have you been submitting galleries to other TGP's? If not, that's where you need to start. A solid understanding of the process from the submitters point of view is invaluable as a TGP owner.

That said, some short answers to your questions...

Starting a TGP is a simple matter of getting a domain then buying, installing and configuring a TGP script. I use AutoGallery Pro but there are several others that are popular too.

Traffic trading is matter of exchanging links with other TGPs. It's best to have a trade script installed on your site that monitors incoming traffic and it's productivity. I won't go into skim/no-skim pros & cons at this point.

A TGP owner makes money two ways. By placing sponsor program links and galleries on his TGP and by selling advertsing. Selling submit passes becomes an option if your TGP gets lots and lots of traffic.

That's the very basics, of course there's much more involved in the details.

I agree with Toby, be a gallery submitter first, really learn how to be a good gallery submitter as good gallery submitters grow up to be good TGP owners, lol.

First of all you need a host:
- AdultEUHost
- Dreamhost
- OC3 Networks
- DWHS

You'll also need a TGP script:

i recommend Auto Gallery SQL if you want to take submissions (galleries submitted by other webmasters) or TGP Rotater if you want to just use your own galleries (and or FHGs).

Trade scripts:

(use some traffic from choker to get your trades started.)

If you have to ask this question you're probably not ready to run a TGP. You should start with gallery building, freesite building, learn the basics of the adult industry. You're definitely putting the cart before the horse. There's a few thousand tgp's out there at the moment, you have a lot of competition, and not knowing or understanding the basics will pretty give you a handicap that you won't overcome.

Traffic is the most important thing

you need a plan for generating it

1) trade all your money in at the bank for dollar bills
write your url on all the dollars before you spend them
(when you have some decent coin coming in you can invest in a stamper)

2) putting a sign or some sort of letters on your car
if you dont have a car just carry a sign

3) go in to electronic stores and add bookmarks to the display model computers, you can also add desktop shortcuts

4) try to find places news men are doing stories, like at a train wreck
wear a tshirt and stand behind them as they are filming

5) flyers on cars at the mall works really good

if you want more traffic tips just ask and I will post more

I quite like this one, actually. That whole sex/death connection.

[babymaker]

i do the dollar bill thing now and then for fun lol, wish i could put a tracking device in them to see how they are performing


TGP traffic tip:

1. buy script
2. buy some traffic
3. force trades with skimming on thumbs
4. watch your stats jump to 100-250k a day
5. stroke your dick while looking at your stats from your mommies basment.
6. make script and traffic sellers rich
