You just said it all right there. The word "diversification" is at the forefront of my business model at all times. NEVER put all your eggs in one basket in this biz.
TGP posting is one way, yeah. But it's limited really, especially these days. I actually got my start by making a few websites, and arranging traffic trades etc. That is solid traffic that you can count on every day, every week, and if you take a few days off here and there it won't go away like TGP traffic to galleries does. I built up a base of sites first, and built up the trades to around 12-15k or so. Slap a good mix of sponsor links on the sites, like blind per-click, banners for per-signup, and some fpa's for partnerships etc etc, trying different things. This is what pays the bills every day. Then I started submitting to TGP's, but I don't do it nearly as regularly as other guys here. I do it when I have time, and usually try to route some of the hits to my own sites while I'm at it. I'm not saying this is the right way, it's just what's worked for me and gotten me this far.
I also branched out into writing erotica, photography, model recruitment, modelling and acting talent referrals, services like graphics design & site design, and I'm also available for hire as a bodyguard
Yep, diversity is a biggie, and it sounds like you're on the right track. Can you diversify too much? I'm still trying to find out, I'll let you know when I do.
