Some options:

• Create galleries for MGP & TGP submits.
  Galleries link directly to the tour and/or join page. The tour can be a 1 page tour or have several pages before the join page.
  
  Create hosted galleries.
  These hosted galleries all link directly to the tour and/or join page. You and your affiliates can use these galleries on hubs, MGP & TGP sites, portals, blogs, splogs,...
  
  Create freesites.
  Freesites can be submitted to link lists. They are beneficial because when done properly, get indexed by the search engines.
  
  Create blogs.
  Blogs are easy to create and a good way to increase traffic and sales.

The galleries that you will use to submit to MGP and TGP sites must follow a few basic rules. Some sites add a specific rule or so, but they all follow the basic rules.

Before you buy any submit accounts or guaranteed gallery listings, make sure you have tested your galleries and they are built to sell.

To submit your galleries, use a submitter such as Advanced Submitter, Chameleon Submitter, or Dream Submitter in manual mode. A submit tool will save you a lot of time.
