Well being lazy really doesn’t pay.  Here are my eom stats for June:

I also had $13 in webmaster referral sales.  My conversions have also dipped.  I’m used to about 1:200 on totemcash – not 1:583!!!!  No doubt this had a significant impact on my gross revenue.  Must be that most of my galleries are getting old have hit the back pages by now and are getting lower quality traffic.  In fact, at least 2 of the sales above are from galleries I submitted months ago.  Once I start submitting again on a daily basis, my hope is that my conversions will go back to their norm.

Total Galleries submitted in June: 6 (LOL)

Hence:

• Totemcash: $113
• Fling: $175
• Expenses: $47

Net Income: $241

Now I have to apologize that I haven’t written about this sooner and I want to thank major for making a great post about Rate X Pics.

I actually opened an account with them months ago and haven’t touched it since. I have 30 pics up pointing to my blog.  If you want to know how much traffic you might get, here are the stats for my blog over 30 days.

18x.com is also their site, so your pictures will automatically get posted there too.  So if you combine 18x and ratexpics, you get 445 hits in 30 days.  If I look over the last 6 months, it’s pretty much the same every month – between 1 and 15 hits per day.

Your traffic will vary greatly depending on how well rated your picture is.  If your picture hits the top 10, then you get on page 1 of the top 25 list.  This easily multiplies your traffic.  I can’t find the stats right now, but I remember seeing a few spikes when this happens – nothing like thousands of hits, more like 30-50 per day extra for a short while.

Do these turn into sales? There’s no reliable way to track it with totemcash.  I haven’t tried them with other sponsors that have good tracking.  All I can say is I do get sales from my blogs – far and few between.

Ratexpics is a great place to post pictures and test out what pics get rated and clicked on.  Hell, you might even get a few sales.  However, it’s very limited – 30 pics and only 1 account allowed.  You could buy some spots there for a reasonable price, which I’ve considered.  Oh! and don’t forget their free toplist.  You just put their link on your site.  I’ve had their link on my blog since october.  You get a few clicks from that too.

Okay, as far as sticking to my new schedule – so far so good! The last two days I’ve gotten up early, submitted a gallery, went to the gym, went to work, then came home and relaxed. I think this routine is doable and I can force myself to do this until it’s just habit.

I noticed about 12 sites have blacklisted me this month. They look like they are all the same owner, but I haven’t verified this yet. Not sure why. I’ve been submitting to them for as long as I’ve had chameleon. They didn’t drive any traffic, so I’m not too worried, but I would like to find out what I did wrong so I don’t repeat it. I’ll have to review their rules very carefully and see if I consistently broke one or if it was just a one off thing.

As always, I hope you all are doing well and thanks again Major for posting!
