Nothing could be farther from the truth. There is still plenty of money to be made if you are willing to spend the time to create and maintain a high quality site (or sites) which provides value to the people who visit it. This means, among other things, that you have to have a heck of a lot more than a bunch of keyword spam and a list of poker rooms to sign up at! The purpose of this blog is to help you with your goal of creating a high quality, content rich poker site and to give you "insider information" on the various affiliate programs that are available.
So should you take the plunge and start a poker or gambling related site? The answer depends on the following:
- Are you willing to spend a lot (20+ hours a week) of time building, maintaining and promoting your site(s)?
- Are you able to think and act long term? You may not see much or even any money for several months after you start your site.
- Are you willing to deal with uncertainty? All of these affiliate programs are outside the United States and if they decide to treat you unfairly there's little or nothing you can effectively do about it (the good news is that they are ALMOST always quite fair)
- Do you have to money to invest in web hosting and tools (like an HTML editor, image editor, etc.) necessary to create, maintain and publish your sites?
- Do you have something to contribute to the Gambling or Poker visitor (this could be strategy or other information, trip reports, etc., but something they will find value in)? This one is critical.
