1. Building a Network of Poker Websites- I see many poker affiliates who make the mistake of building a single website, and then focusing all of their time and energy on that one site. In my opinion, this is a very big mistake.

Would a successful stock market investor dare to place 100% of their assets in a single equity? Most certainly not.

The same should be true with your poker affiliate business. Concentrate on developing a large network of quality sites that you can use to cross-promote with and you`ll end up with a much more stable business that will pay you with more consistent profits, month in and month out.

2. Pre-Selling Online Poker Rooms - This is another mistake that I see many poker affiliates making. Simply placing a banner ad on your website is not the way to make a killing in this business, yet 99% of the sites on the net that I see are doing just that.

Set yourself apart. Be different. Write reviews, give honest opinions of poker rooms, inject your personality into your writing, use text links instead of banners. Try applying these techniques to your efforts and I`m certain you`ll agree that the results will speak for themselves.

3. Build Opt-in Email Lists of Poker Players - This is probably one of the most powerful techniques in the world of online poker promotion, yet most poker affiliates never quite grasp the importance of it.

Come up with a free offer geared towards poker players, make them opt-in to your poker newsletter in order to receive it, and email them often with new bonus codes and other poker promotions. Imagine the power of having 10,000 active poker players on your email list when a hot, new poker room launches.... In 3 short minutes, you can craft a concise email promoting the new room and offer them an exclusive bonus code for signing up. I`m sure that I don`t need to tell you how much income this could potentially create...

Hopefully this article has give you some food for thought on ways that you can jumpstart your poker affiliate marketing business. The most important thing to remember is once you have a solid game plan, stick to it and work at it every single day. Don`t quit!
