Chameleon Blog

Foreword: Greetings to fellow users of our software, but also to those who are showing interest in TGP/MGP submissions. In this article, I would like to show you that TGP/MGP traffic is still an efficient system for making money and in a very SHORT TIME. And I believe that the following parts will give you some motivation to your further work with Chameleon tools!

Part I: Strategy, Preparation and Tools

Strategy

First of all,  you need to realize what you are going to do. You are going to sell memberships to pay sites!
You are not going to sell any shoes, books or cars, you are going to sell a very specific product to a strictly targeted audience! So once you have clarified your goal, you should start thinking like your potential customers do and conform your work to the fact.  That’s the most important thing to realize. Many adult webmasters tend to fall into stereotype and loose overview, forgetting for whom they are doing all the galleries. Mistake!

It’s also very important to choose an overall strategy and a system of work.
Strategy - pick a niche you would like to promote (or find a particular sponsor  site, etc.), choose your domain name, hosting, find some niche-targeted TGPs/MGPs you would like to promote your galleries at, etc.
System of work – try to optimize the moneymaking process to achieve your goals effectively and in the least amount of time, using helpful tools.

Preparation

• 1. Domain Registration
  The first step is registering a domain name. Please keep in mind you’re going to sell a very specific product, so you should be specific about it in your domain name as well. By defining your audience in website’s address, half the work has already been done for you (I don’t want to write about SEO traffic in this article, trying to keep it short ).
• 2. Hosting
  The second step is also very important, and that’s your domain host. Be aware of using a free or cheap hosting with the shared connectivity, badly selected hosting can knock-out all your business in a few hours!  You will definitely get better results with some serious hosting company that is able to guarantee a good connectivity and 100% uptime.

For this purpose I’ve a 100 mbps server from www.exmasters.com

•  3. Sponsor
  There are thousands of affiliate programs out there. You can choose whatever you want, any niche or any pay site. I personally prefer less known sponsors and new paysites. Forget about 2 years old paysites, no mention older ones. Don’t promote them.
  So my rule is: new sites from less known sponsors! I made this decision around 6 years ago, when the big sponsors have stopped converting, so I’ve aimed at the less known sponsors and achieved much better ratios with them. But of course, what works for one might not work for another, so the best thing to do is to experiment and see what works for you. Don’t get stuck on a single sponsor or pay site and try out different sponsors to find the best one!

Working Tools

In order to keep this article as much objective as possible, I’ve started to submit galleries from a brand new domain, with no initial traffic at all. Here are the tools I’ve been using:

Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter * – this one I use for gallery submissions to TGP/MGP sites;
Chameleon Partner Account Requester * – this tool helps me to get free & paid partner accounts and manage them easily;
Chameleon Confirmer – this one auto confirms all e-mails I keep getting after each gallery submission;
Macromedia Dreamweaver – the one I use to finish my galleries with;
Adobe Photoshop – this one I use for all image modifications (gallery design, gallery content, etc.);
Nifty Stats - I use this tool for checking  my sales stats  & sales ratios (it’s auto checking sales every 30 min and I also receive a notification to my email or PDA after each sale)

 * I should also mention that I’ve been using the default databases included in  Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter and Chameleon Partner Account Requester, both updated by Chameleon team, with no other sites added or modified by me. 

Hints

 A couple of my personal recommendations for getting better results:

- Creative Thinking Equals More Money. Don’t just sit and wait for signups after you have submitted a few galleries. Try to get as much traffic as you can into your galleries.
Even though I am focused on TGP and MGP traffic, all my galleries are optimized also for Search Engines (the naming options in Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter help me much in this matter). SE traffic is very important for generating a long term income  and so it is with Link List traffic (check Chameleon Link List Submitter).

- Read the TGP/MGP Rules. Do not cheat, play fair, and follow the rules. The more you cheat the less traffic you will get. And the less traffic you get the less income you will be earning. That’s as simple.

My First “Test” Submit

As I already mentioned I’ve registered a new domain name and decided to first try it out by submitting my almost first gallery from this domain; just to make sure there are no problems with my host or server settings.

I also made screenshots of my server stats from the first “test” submit. As you can see on the screenshots, the traffic has considerably increased right after the first submit, slightly lowering each next day.

Are you curious how my January submissions with Chameleon tools turned out?  Shortly I’ll upload my statistics for the whole January. Be sure to check back soon!
