The AVS sites are doing well for you now?

I just don't promote them any more. I'd like to but I just don't have time, too many good sponsors out there. I would have to say that networking is the key. I bought the domain abulletaway.com a while ago and I was amazed at how much more I got listed just on name recognition. I certainly appreciate it but my gallery design didn't change. It was just a matter of webmasters seeing the name and listing me because of it. Had it not been for forums and conventions, "Networking" I wouldn't be getting listed anywhere. I would have never met my friends at Medium Pimpin, I would have never had a reason to talk to people like Evil Chris and so on.
Not to mention all the webmasters who have helped me, hooked me up with partner accounts and so on. Unless you have a ton of money to throw in to paid listings or traffic I just don't see how anyone can make it without friends. It's all about who ya know. I don't think that's a bad thing but for me it makes it difficult because I hate people lol
