How long before your first sale? (TGP submissions)
 

I just started really putting them out about a week ago and I'm using Chameleon Submitter (Which rocks btw.) and I'm just wondering around what length time did it take most of you guys to see your first sales?


Here are my stats so far with three affiliates I'm using:

(Really haven't been listed on any of the big guys yet, but I'm working twards that. Haven't done this since 97-98 so some things have changed for me, learning to ride a bike again so to speak.)

It took me 5 days with a 0:1200 ratio, then I suddenly started getting Signups

If u are lucky maybe today will have 1 sign up!

That would rock right about now, seems like I'm in the norm at least. I'm using some old school plain galleries (banner at the top and bottom) going for the lowest common denominator to lessen the rejections. Some TGPs have pretty weird rules, seemed a little more easy back then lol.

good luck on the sales :)

try purchasing traffic

Thanks.


Been looking into purchasing, but haven't ever put my feet in those waters before so I'm currently going to research route.

dont give up yet, you will get some sales soon.

once you get back in the groove you will start attributing sales to this or that, and you can really fine tune your work.

u need more hits probly

Yeah I'm submitting daily and I still have galleries from last week that haven't hit yet so I'm sure it will be soon now.

Does anyone submit to sublimedirectory around here? They are doing the $4.95 a month listing fee which isn't bad, but I wonder how the traffic is with them. They NEVER listed me back in the day when it was free lol. They hated my gallerys... of course I used blind links back then as well.

These days, expect TGP traffic to convert around 1:1500.

Oh, btw, nice sig! "YGGR", LOL!

TGPs were always my worst converter and bandwith sucker.
Just my opinion

Take a look at the Tutorail I#ve recently written (http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=573984, that should give you an basic idea what works.

I also offer consulting services for gallery submitters/affiliate programs, so feel free to contact me on ICQ 344688791 if you want to shorten your learning curve a bit :)

I hope You will have some sales today or in few days

send that traffic to the brand new site in my sig and you will not have this issue, seriosuly

email me a couple of your gallery urls...and i'll list them for free for you...

good luck whit sales !! and many to come to be rich:)!

Oh... Don't miss that boat! :)

Get more partner accounts. Chameleon submitter is pretty useless without any.

Wow, those are some nice stats...

I have started doing this yesterday and I getv like 10 hits per day on NATS :(

Egomancer

:thumbsup nice !

there are some good points in this thread, thanks!

The 3rd gallery I made was listed on World Sex, and I got a sale off it.

I'll never forget looking at my stats with sleepy eyes, and seeing a 1 instead of a 0 in the sales column.

That was justification for the 4 weeks I spent trying to figure it all out before I even tried a gallery. When I started, I'd never seen a paysite, a tgp, or a link list. The most visual online porn I'd been exposed to was when people would post pics in chat rooms. So my learning curve was pretty steep. (and I'm still learning) Simple things, like wtf a recip was, and efficiently mirroring galleries were things that I spent hours on in the beginning.

That was 2 years ago, and I am still kind of in awe of it, to be honest. It's not easy work, but it is much preferable to some of the things I've done. So I keep thinking that one morning I will wake up, the bottom will have fallen out, and that I'll have to get a 'real' job.

But that day isn't today, so it's time for me to get busy. :)

Good luck (and be sure to take Mr. Shemp up on his offer)

Edit: Oh, and your question about Sublime? That $4.95 bit has been up on their site since I first saw it, and I've never been able to figure out how to be able to submit to them.

:thumbsup :thumbsup well thats the best feeling you get! after that its all normall stuff! :winkwink:

i just hate gallery submitting.
