Here is a little tip, (for the newbies), that will help you make AT LEAST $1,500
Ok, Most of you start out making galleries and submitting to TGP's. That's fine...I still do it myself. However, instead of putting your sponsor of choice's banner on the gallery and linking it to THEIR website... why not put the banner on the tgp and link it to YOUR website.
Here's an example... Let's say I want to promote HomeGrownVideo. I would make an amateur gallery and place a couple of HomeGrownVideo banners on it... BUT, instead of linking it to HomeGrownVideos website... I link it to my website which I copied from theirs... see: http://www.iamateurs.org/freepage1.htm
Now I can take advantage of the people WITH credit cards (approx 20& of online surfers) and the ones WITHOUT credit cards (approx 80%).
You need to contact your sponsor to request a direct link to the JOIN page... if they do not allow it... don't use them...However, 90% of them will and are glad to do it for you.
As you can see at the bottom of the page: http://www.iamateurs.org/freepage1.htm I offer free tickets to people WITHOUT credit cards, (almost everyone online has an email address of some sort), and that's all you need to get a free ticket, HomeGrownVideo does NOT offer this option... therefore, it's an added way to increase you profit margin.
On a bad day of traffic I give out AT LEAST 5 free tickets and the sponsor pays me $1 per ticket.
So that's $5 X 365 = $1,825 per year extra....
Ok, I said $1,500 so Pay Pal me an overages for this info...
That's a nice simple easy to understand way to make more money.
Have a nice day...

P.S. If you want to give away free tickets too... just click on any free ticket link, then scroll down to the bottom of that page and click on the webmaster link to sign up. I made $65 today giving away free tickets to people I would have lost sending them straight to HGV...you can too.

From my own experience, this DOES work, it definately helps in targetting your traffic a bit better, and if your going to have leaks, might as well leak to your own sponsors.
Excelent post Big_Ray, and thanks.
