How many TGPs do you submit to to make 1000 a week

I get about 165k TGP traffic daily, and make more than $1k/week. I submit 2-4 galleries every day in about 2-3 hours, and have been doing it a long time.

Exactly what I predicted. You need around 100,000 hits daily or more as a base in traffic, you need to submit roughly 3 galleries a day and you need to buy partner accounts.

Thanks for your info HowlingWulf

Bottom line is, sorry dude, it's hard as fuck anymore, like ram says, mostly them days are past.

and they are getting paster. tgp traffic quality ain't going up.

Your chances of emulating HW's stats are well below 10%. Straight out of the newbie box, probly less than 3%.

And one notes that HW isn't being too specific about net and gross.

and, hard as it may be to believe, all we webmasters tend to have a rosy picture on our minds of how much we are making. You know how you like to tell folks the best possible interpretation of how much you were making in some past gig, and you say it so much you come to believe it yourself. It's like that.

Like, i've been known to say back in 2003 I was making 10k a month. Truth is there were a couple months when I made 11-12k, but with seasonal variation the real average was closer to 6500, for that one year. Thats gross, not net. Was still nice money. And I can still say I was making 10k a month.

Its the nature of the human mind.

You know, I was thinking bout that, and I realized I had my years mixed up, in 2003 my gross was 136k, so it was avergaing over 10k a month. My expenses were way higher then, but that was a heck of a year. Paid off the house and a bunch of old tax debt.

anyway, I recalled my tax returns for that year and realized I had mixed things up. by 2004 revenue started falling for me.

Either that, or I'm lying to myself in my own mind, which is always possible.

anyway, it aint like that now. well maybe for some, not for me.

Do you guys know what the next best thing would be to get in to online?

because I just heard of this through adult webmasters school but I realize now they are kind of selling a dream and to make a sustainable income I think I might need to take another route because submitting like crazy for 100-200 bucks a month is tough to see myself doing for long periods of time.

When I started online in 2000-2001 it took me 2 years to go full time. I spent hours a day for little in return!!!! What happens over time is with so many galleries, free sites and blogs online your traffic slowly grows from search engines and other sources and you see a gradual growth in income.

If we knew that we wouldn't tell anyone, including friends. If you find it, the next big thing, then you have a fighting chance. Otherwise if your plan to is make galleries or blogs and do what 1000's of other webmasters are already doing then yes it is going to take you a long time to build up your income. That's the way it is.
