Just passed the $1000 mark...

Amount of time is a poor indicator 'cos I did 1 free site and sat and watched things for a solid week.

1st free site was submitted 8/20 and the next weren't until 8 days later.

I have 23 free sites in total.

Almost half of that amount has come in the last 2 weeks. This past week i have been working on other projects and made no free sites.

I'm seeing the 'snowball effect' of having a bunch of sites listed.

$470 of that has come in the last 2 weeks.

I have some stinker sites and I have some sites that sell well.

4 sales have come from 1 paysite that has converted 1:97 for me this week (so far).
It's good to have a spread of niches.

I did double up in promoting sites that tended to have better ratios.

Comparing my 1st few sites to my style now it's very obvious regarding the changes.

I was a little weak sales wide initially.

I was selling the free tour initially.

Now I sell the backend and I GET IN THE SURFER'S FACE.

They are getting free porn. I want something in return. I'm not shy about giant ass fonts sizes anymore.

I added several more LL's that rank well in Google/Yahoo.

I made a mistake and made 3 free sites for a new paysite that was untested. Just because I liked the content doesn't mean others will. Bad conversions with that site.

BTW, this certainly isn't a brag at all. I'm 1:770 overall so it's quite mediocre on my part. And I guess that is why I'm posting.

Even with mediocre->poor conversions you should be able to make good money after plugging away for a few months.

When you add in smart TGP traffic and have a nicely developed hub in addition to plugging away on free sites there's little excuse not to make money.

I saw a post a while ago on another board froma guy who claimed to be doing free sites for 2 years and couldn't make $2k/mo or something like this.

Some people just aren't cut out to do this.

I continue to learn and pick up little nuggets of info here and there. I've reached a point where I must buy some content.

As I learn what tends to sell better for me I can attack that and make multiple free sites for that paysite and really milk it.

But on your typical 1 free site per day with mediorce conversions anyone should be able to do OK in this biz.

Of course, the goal is to increase my ratios (which I am doing) and branch out to TGP - which I have the info for.
