Help w/TGP's and MGP's

[Hammer]

Trisha, if these galleries are for your affiliates, the only ones that will be able to use them will be the TGP owners or affiliates with hubs and blogs and if that's what they're for, they will want some pretty slick looking galleries and you'd probably be best off paying a good gallery designer to do a bunch of templates for you.

On the other hand, if these are galleries you plan to submit yourself, in reality, many times the ugliest gallery designs convert the best, as long as the content is good. In that case, you could get by with some basic looking templates that I'm sure you could teach yourself to build.

There are programs that auto build galleries, but most of the ones I'm familiar with produce galleries that, as Forest pointed out, will probably not be accepted at the better TGPs.

My suggestion would be to find a gallery template designer that will build templates for you for $15 to $25 each and have them build you 30 or so unique templates. Then you can simply swap out the photos and change a bit of text each time and submit away.

I LOVE ugly gallery designs baby!!

Back when I actually had sites I used one banner, usually odd sized, some REALLY detailed and graphic text (usually short stories LOL) and then two links to filter pages. I may have not gotten the mass clicks to the sponsor but when those fuckers clicked they converted at great rates and then I'd always get signups from the filter pages...

I tried doing fancy galleries and such.. just didn't fit my style..
I love long descriptive text.

Although I agree with this, reality is that very few TGP's will take ugly galleries. They still have their uses, but dont expect to get on any of the major TGPs.

Exactly.. one of the reasons I don't bother with content anymore.

Yeah, I think I would like fancy ones and plain ones......kinda like my theory on stripclubs......guys will say "what is she doing here" about a girl who is not quite top shelf. But I always think someone will like her......I have been passed up for the heavy girl before.

There is a market for all types of women, even if it is a smaller market. Just gotta market it properly.

Just look at Southern Charms...

Theres a market for every genre. The problem is that some just dont have that many people willing to pay money to see it.

We'd call those "comfort models". Trish would be a "sport model" for sure.

So i could probably do some myself for submissions and then just hire someone ie like your company..? to make me slick/clean one for my affiliates.
