One of the most popular ways to make money in the adult Internet business -- especially for newbies -- is building and submitting TGP galleries. It's not difficult to learn to make them and once you get a system down and have a stock of templates, they can be built in a matter of minutes. They are also cheap to produce and if you use the free content provided by the sponsor you're promoting, they cost nothing but your time (and bandwidth). There is a drawback though. They won't make you any money unless they get a lot of traffic.

I would have to write a book to explain all the details of building good galleries and learning how to submit them properly so that you will be successful, but I did write a chapter on TGPs and TGP galleries in the Klixxx University Newbie Guide that you will find useful if you're new to the business. However, in today's blog entry I thought I'd briefly go over a good way to get things rolling. Please keep in mind that although getting traffic to your galleries is probably the hardest part of the process, all the traffic in the world won't help you if you don't know how to build galleries that convert, and that will take time and practice to achieve.

Let's assume that you've got several (15 to 30) gallery templates built and you're ready to start seriously submitting and by seriously I mean one or two galleries per day. The next step is to actually submit the galleries, but most TGPs will require you to place their recips (small button links) at the top of your galleries. You can usually place 3 to 4 recips on each gallery but, if you're submitting 100 galleries a day, you are probably starting to think this is going to be a full time job. Enter the auto submitter.

There are a few good auto submitters on the market, but I recommend Advanced Submitter. With it, you will be able to create the necessary copies of your galleries to hold all the recips and add those recips to each gallery automatically in a matter of minutes. To find out more about how an auto submitter works I suggest you visit the Advanced Submitter website.

By using an auto submitter in auto mode, you will be able to submit your galleries to hundreds of small TGPs that are listed in the submitters database without actually visiting each site to do it. It is also possible to use the auto submitter in manual mode to submit to TGPs that you have partner accounts with that will not allow you to auto submit to them.

What you're going to quickly find once you get started is that using an auto submitter and submitting to 500 TGPs a day is not going to make you rich. It might not even make your car payment. What you need is what are called 'partner' accounts. Without them, except for the small TGPs that are just getting started and will accept auto submissions or give out partner accounts to anyone that asks, your chances of getting your galleries listed on anything approaching a regular basis is slim at best.

For those of you that are just getting started, getting partner accounts with the big TGPs for free is just not a possibility. They already have more partners than they need. Once you've been doing this for a while and can build very good galleries and use good content (not the free stuff provided by your partners) you might eventually get some decent partner accounts but it will be a slow process.

So, how in the world do you get partner accounts if there aren't any to be had at the TGPs that will actually send thousands of hits a day to your galleries? There are two ways that I recommend. The first, is to pay for partner accounts. You'll need to be cautious though and if your galleries don't convert, you'll lose money for sure. Most of the large TGPs are now charging a fee for a partner account which is a good thing for newbies because it levels the playing field and gives you a chance to get accounts where you normally would have never been able to before. The problem is that the TGPs make no guarantees and I've heard stories that many are overselling and don't have enough daily spots to get everyone listed. One TGP I would definitely suggest to anyone is my friend Shemp's site which is coincidentally called Shemp.

The second option is to use a new program called the Partner Requester, which allows you to request partner accounts at more than 1200 TGPs and MGPs, automatically. Using an auto submitter along with a serious plan to get as many partner accounts as possible, you'll find that it won't take long to actually start making some money.

The next step in the process will be to manually request partner accounts with larger and larger TGPs and once you're confident that your galleries will convert and make enough money to cover your bandwidth bill and still leave you with a profit, you'll be able to move up to the next level and start paying for partner accounts and eventually even buying spots on the TGPs.

Playing the TGP game can be very frustrating and I'm not guaranteeing that you'll make money, but by starting with a real plan and understanding a bit about how the game is actually played, you will have a lot better chance than most and hopefully I've been able to smooth out the learning curve for you a bit.
