What does it take to be lucrative in the freesite game nowadays?

If this was the only source of family income, we'd be dumpster hopping

BUT...I see the potential. If I have just over 100 fs out there right now & I'm making $xxx, then double that, then triple it, you get the idea. I have my LL that I'm constantly tweaking, and as soon as I have some time I'll be buying more domains & doing more of the same. I sub galleries once in a while to a couple of high traffic places & get some quick sales off those, but as UW said, a lot of my fs sales are from older sites.

It is possible to make a living, for me, anyway. It takes a hell of a lot of time, patience, and learning, but it is possible imo.

Do you do anything other than freesites? How often do you actually submit?
