I can't talk for 98, but today I'd say theres more than 100 people who can sustain more than 100 sales a day.

Biggy - this is one of the few times I will respectfully disagree with you

I still don't think there are 100 companies/persons that send 100 joins per day on a regular basis

Being a program owner and having clandestinely worked with a fairly large program I've seen the inside numbers

Right now as a program owner you're sucking anyone's dick who can send 100 Solid joins per day on a regular basis. Fuck, you're sending them whatever they want (within reason)

Not sure that many TGP guys can do it.
If they could why would they sell gallery listings when sending 100 joins per day grosses almost 1.3M per year with less work?

Is it more profitable selling gallery spots? Got to think TGP owners are making more money selling listings than memberships, that's why the prevalent business model is selling the listings as opposed to listing sponsor galleries, free hosted or not

When someone makes 1.3M per year they tend to become visible

I've been wrong before and will be again but that's my take on it

Plus if you can move that kind of converting traffic there are bigger, more profitable, less risky pastures
