I always thought the helping hand was the free host. You start with them learn what works and doesnt. Make some money and get your own hosting if it works out.
If you cant make money with a free host, there is no way you can if you host your own galleries! Gallery submitting is an art that is getting harder and harder to make money from daily I think
Nobody is going to give you unlimited bandwidth for a top link only. Stick with the free hosts. If you cant convert from them maybe shuck out the money and get hosting or hang the industry up.
The last statement may sound rude, but if it werent for the people that think they can come in and do TGP submitting now with no output of money and little work, they are sorely mistaken. Those people may get hit and miss signups, but very very very few have what it takes.
And you dont even have a homepage to put in your profile? No samples of galleries you make? All of the above are suggested.
