I'd start by making a hub, if I were you. This is just a collection of all your own sites with as many categories and sponsor ads as you wish. Many hubs look like link lists but just don't take submissions and don't need scripts.
Once you're comfortable with creating a hub than you can start to think about a Link List proper. Do a script search for LL scripts, both free and paid. There's been plenty of threads on the subject over the last few years.
Cheers

Well, I do have a hub and it is a pain to update and ad new stuff to it, that is one reason I want to start a LL, I am hoping it will be a bit easier to maintain using a script and in the long run I hope to become profitable also.

Just earlier today I cleaned up my favorites folder with all the LLs I've submitted to over the past 2 years (100s), and, not surprisingly, quite a few of them have gone belly up. You need to be prepared for a lot of work for little pay for a long while. After having a LL for close to 2 years I dare say that I wouldn't quit my day job if I had one.

When you buy a script don't look at price. If you plan on staying in business for the long haul, the cost of the right script is negligible. I recommend taking a look at Dragon List before you make any decisions. While XPL certainly is a capable script I feel that DL is more flexible and a lot easier to customize with your own design (I own both XPL and DL).

As far as number of categories is concerned I used to agree with Fonz, but I'm starting to wonder if it's better to go for a larger number. You can always fill up the cats that don't get many submits with sponsor hosted material and just let them age and gain PR right from the get-go.

If you haven't done so already, read Preacher's thread on his experience as a fresh LL owner. Lots of good info there. Best of luck!
