How long does it take you to make a FS?
Takes me about 2-3 hours in total, considering everything from choosing the site to promote, doing the design, text and everything. When I started out, someone told me it should only take 1 hour to make a FS, but I don't know, tends to take me a whole lot longer...

Making a freesite takes me about 1.5-2 hours. Submitting it to the 36 LL's I submit to now takes me another 40 minutes, don't ask me why it takes so long but it just does

my record is 3 hours, I can't make it less. all depends how fancy you want your freesite look like, do you watch how good every link stands out, match one link to another, bottom describe what mentioned on top. do you use tables, find right colors, spend time searching for the right keyword combination for title, etc. many factors.
submitting takes me 45 mins minimum, 118 link-lists manually.

When I make a fs it takes me about an hour. Then a few additional mins to submit.

I was thinking about the same thing, and figured that once you created some fs's (around 30) you could use them as templates for future galleries which would cut the time considerably. Other than that it is pretty much switching images, banners, text, color, and submitting. Am I thinking too far off here?

Depending on my level of inspiration, how much I recycle from other freesites, how many trips to the bathroom, trips to the kitchen to re-heat my coffee, cats that need petting etc. etc. and any number of unavoidable urgent distractions that require my immediate attention, I'd say anywhere from 1 hr to the whole day.

I build from the pictures up so I generally don't use templates, although I will use the same design concepts. If I end up doing a graphical title or something then it takes longer. Plus if you have to do a lot of work with the pics, etc etc...it's so hard to give a definitive time frame to build a good freesite. Ponygirl |

With 4 kids under 8, one cat and a husband, it takes me all day to build & submit a free site. I used to be able to do it in a few hours but now I have to stop/start what I'm doing so much that I seem to never get stuff done. Plus I don't like using templates so most of my sites are built from scratch.

I use pretty much ~3 hrs. to build a freesite, that is, when the galleries are allready built.
If i should build a freesite from the bottom up, with galleries, mainsite and the index i would say 4-5 hrs. I am using too much time to custom build banners and buttons, and way too long on the texts, but i would say it is better to build one good site and get accepted , than to build 5 and get rejected at most places |

Interesting replies... I have been having this discussion with another submitter on ICQ. He's putting far less time into his FS, working with a few plain templates and producing them quickly enough. Mine get accepted almost everywhere, most of the time. His less so. However... his are producing more sales and he says it's because their plain ugly, so go figure lol
ladydesigner, I hear you sister. Only two kids here (under 5), one hubby and 3 cats, but it sure teaches you how to work in spurts, doesn't it? my hubby says he could never work like that with so many interruptions around, but I tell him it's that extra X chromosome that lets us keep our focus for longer

I can take anything from 1 hour to days if I start daydreaming. Also I find changing to a new niche is very time-consuming as it requires changing all the recips.

This has been a reassuring thread. Procrastination is always a problem for me when it comes to free sites. And then I tend to build them from scratch half the time, just because that feels like a good thing to do. While I never managed to make the 30 templates, mine still tend to look a bit similar.

Months.
or depending on how much i can coerce tart into making me a "pretty" but ugly template a day. the fastest I ever did was i think 4 hours but then again I hand pick my submits and try to mix them up with some long time LL and some newbie ones so everyone gets a little trickle of traffic and hopefully i get a HUGE surge!! |

I used to be able to build & submit one in about 90 min or so.
But, I can build 5 in 2 hours, submit one & have 4 left over to submit every 30 or so days |

Sometimes if I've been working on freesites for a couple days straight I can slap a decent one out in about 2 hrs, but I tend to get burnt out on them really quickly and can usually only stand to make them a few days a month. Generally speaking though, 4-6 hrs, mostly because I get picky about stupid shit which holds me up.

I've been trying shorten my time. My mentor has been doin this for quite a while, and he can get one out in pretty short order.
Of course, he doesn't mess around with some of the things I experiment with, like attempting SEO, trying out new lists, keeping recip tables unique, adding as much unique text to new sites as possible, etc... but he sells better'n me, so... eh. All told, 3-5 hours now, I think. But I think I can continue to shave off minutes here and there as I refine my technique.

Takes me around 4 hours. That is submitting and everything. I do alt tags, meta tags and make each site as eye catching as possible and very clean. Yeah, it takes me a while, but being as most LL only allow one submit a day I am fine by it.
Good topic BTW |

On freesites for me, about 2 hours on a good day, 3-5 days when I can't concentrate which is most of the time lately |

4 - 5 hours here. I know I make them nice & clean at least. Not sure how good otherwise, hehe.
Hubby and I will be shooting a crap load of content in the next couple of months, so will have a lot of new stuff to build around.

As to build times, I haven't done a free site in a while. But, used to take about 4 or 5 hours including submissions. The way I build free sites tends to take a bit longer as I mirror the entire site for each recip table, then change up the text on all the pages. |

But it doesn't take too long to swap out a few choice words here and there, and tweak your file names. If you can say the exact same thing but use a different words to do it then it's still unique.
