Link list owner/submitter an idea?

[stuveltje]

now what i wanna know why you all wanna start an linksite while you still make free sites yourself, no critic i am just curiouse(did i say that right), what you all expect from that linksite you made?

Because, as I'm learning building a popular link list takes time. So I can see how these guys would supplement their income by the old stand by of building free sites.

Besides building their own free sites they can advertise for their linklist and include their recips along with some of the big named link lists.

What might also be beneficial, is if all of us new linklist do some category trades including submit trades to each other to get the ball rolling.

Dunno, but you could. Depends on whether you thought it more important then shooting for a quick buck from a sponser. It's no different then putting a link to a fake TGP hub at your root, right?

I guess the point is, we don't know exactly what will do it. We are new to it. You are never going to know exactly what will work and what won't until you have tried eveything. I'd be more then welcome to any advice the big guys have to offer, but my guess is perseverance more then anything determines the success of any site over time, but who knows.

Thanks stuveltje, I know you have been around for a while and I appreciate your taking the time to give some input to a new Link List owner.

This is a great thread!

I agree with msanchez & Preacher - everything they have said is exactly what I think too. I've also been doing freesites for a year, more full time in the past 6 months or so. I started a LL way too soon when I first started, and didn't know close to enough to keep it going, so had to keep it on the back burner for a while. Once I really started learning more (mostly from here ) it only made sense to open it up again. You start to know who's who around here, who the good submitters are and other LL owners just starting out & become part of things. That's when you start to grow, get your LL started, trades etc. - once people know who you are & you can all grow together

I certainly don't know where I'm headed with this, I seem to learn some new way of doing things every day!
I can't remember where I heard this, but I've adopted it as a personal mantra - "persistence & determination are omnipotent". This has got me through a few $0 weeks lol

-oh ya and of course "build, submit, forget"

msanchez - I think it's a great idea, I've got a handful of good submitters & think we should encourage more to submit to us "starting out" guys

ok, I'll shut up now

Great post msanchez! I build freesites tons of them!! After I had over 100 sites of my own, turned my hub into a link list also. Not sure if it will ever be a sucess or not, but it's a great way to get sales from your own sites.


msanchez!
