I found these tips useful and so I thought maybe someone else would, too. Probably many of you guys already use them, but well what the heck...

This is about more efficient control of using your time and avoiding frustration

1) Make your own starting page in your local harddrive. You can customize it, off course. I have a left frame 15% and the main frame 85%. The left frame is my navigation tool.
I list all my AVS sites, free sites there with links to visitor statistics. Clicking the links show the site/stats in the main frame.
Add links to sponsor stats etc. Whatever you need a lot, add a link to that navigation frame. When your navigation list grows too big in size, put all your AVS sites in another navigation frame and a link to that frame from the main navigation frame.

2) Do you have 10-20 browser windows open and you get confused and you're actually not producing anything and you end up at pinkworld jerking off? Solution: use tip 1, check that everything's ok. If you think your existing sites are doing as they should, immediately start building a new site. This way, your little "biz" of a few gallery sites will grow into an empire pretty fast..

3) I used to get so pissed when the internet connection crashed and I thought I couldnt do anything for hours. WRONG! You can design a site offline, you could design a few sites if the connection is broken for a long time. I bet there's alot of different work that you can do offline. (I wont consider writing this stupid article work, but I did write this when the connection was broken)

4) Feel frustrated cause someone declined you or your work? Dont get mad, that email declining your gallery (for example) adds 0% to the probability of you succeeding in the business. But it's still human to get pissed! So how to react? Pressing the delete button is the worst solution psychologically. Because by deleting that email you're not deleting the problem. An example: you ask to become a preferred submitter for a TGP. Answer: preferred submitter request declined.

Now this is what I have found works excellent for me: I reply "Thanks for informing me. Is there something I could do to my galleries so that I could become a preferred submitter?"

If his reply is "We dont list galleries that have midget fetish content". Then one more reply from you "Ok I understand. I took a closer look at your site and noticed that you dont list indeed any midget galleries. Nice site, by the way!"

If you got no reply at all in the first place, or you get something like "you suck dude", then you dont wanna seriously do busines with that guy anyhow, do you?

That was just an example. ALways reply with a friendly attitude and you will have a piece of mind.

5) Feel frustrated because one of your projects doesnt work? STOP RIGHT THERE! Do something else. If you only have one project going on, go to tip 1. But when you move from the frustrating project to a new project - damn you start feeling MOTIVATED again. Return later to the older project when you're motivated. (This one goes for everything in life... feeling tired at sitting by the computer -> go to the gym -> motivation -> back to work)

Cheers, Mika

Oh yea one more: when you come home Saturday morning 5 am and you're totally wasted, design and submit a Drunkslut gallery. With all the spelling errors and shit it should convert pretty fine. You see, you can even work when you're wasted...
