Food For Thought for LL owners

Carrie, I started doing FS 3 months ago. Here's my advice to anyone starting FS - join GG&J and read, read, read. Then post some.

Many of the rules you refered to can be quite flexible... you just need to know which ones, how and with which LL. For example, recips don't have to be those 200 pixel wide buttons. I do only customized recips now and have no problem getting accepted anywhere. Same for sponsor content. 80% of my FS are based on sponsor content, and it's usually not even solo girl content. I learnt from this board to avoid certain sponsors that are over exposed, and I browse existing FS in major LL's for a the niche I'm going for to see which sponsors my be "out there" too often. Also, I try to find sponsor content that is either not watermarked, or has a relatively small watermark.

It took me a while to figure out some things, but reading here and asking questions and asking for reviews for my first sites has taught me so much... I now have little problem getting my sites listed everywhere. I just try to work with the rules... rather than get frustrated over them

Nice to see you here btw :waves:!
