Calling all Super Affiliates

[SmackDog]

I have been in the poker affiliate industry for about a year and half now and am looking for a super affiliate to help me diversify my efforts.

Due to the current state of the poker industry I feel this is a good time to spread out to other industries, but I don't know where to go or who is reliable?

If anyone would like a sub affiliate or if you just have a soft spot in your heart, please PM me.

Thanks,

SmackDog

I am working on a fantasy sports affiliate site, but am also looking to diversify into other markets

If you are looking to branch out into rakeback let me know

[SmackDog]

Thank you for your responses, but I guess I was not clear in my request.

I'm looking for other avenues outside the gambling arena. Health care, Viagra and some others are a few spammy emails I get daily. haha. I'm not looking to promote those industries specifically, but would like some other thoughts.

Thanks,

SmackDog

Hey Smackdog,

I took a huge hit in affiliate revenue last month after years of promoting the big guys on MGR, Party, PokerRoom and Paradise.

Luckily I have spent the last year or so diversifying into other online niches, hence my status at PAW from a frequent poster down to daily lurker.

Many people who start out as poker affiliates have no idea how huge the general affiliate marketing business is.

You can earn a commission promoting ANY goods or services that can be found on the internet. Information products (my current favorite and very lucrative) subscription sites like online dating services and Jeremy's favorite, porn sites, hard goods like clothing, toys, books, electronics, jewelry...... the list is endless.


I love shooting myself in the foot by increasing my competition.. lol... so here's the cream of the crop on internet marketing from my favorites list.


The Warrior Forum - many online marketing millionaires... and a whole lot of wannabees hang out here. There is gold to be found here.

Here's some of my favorite Warrior threads:

The advice in these threads is pure gold and can even be applied to the online poker niche.


Promoting info products on a huge variety of topics through ClickBank can be very profitable. They also have poker related products. E-books and odds caculators.

The ClickBank Success Forum

http://clickbanksuccessforum.com/forum/

Various articles and products that I recommend:

I own and use all of these but these are NOT affiliate links even though I am an affiliate for most of them.

http://desperatebuyersonly.com/ - highly recommended for ANY online marketer.... in any niche.

Here's a resent thread about it on The Warrior Forum

The Bum Marketing Method

http://www.bummarketingmethod.com/Ar...Marketing.html

Great marketing technique if you're on a budget and a good way to get quality back-links.

http://www.flashaudiowizard.com/ - audio and video are the wave of the future in internet marketing in all niches. Trust me.

http://www.aweber.com/ - market your offers to the same customer over and over or you're leave money on the table. A lot of money.


SmackDog the problem isn't finding a profitable niche. People spend billions of dollars over the internet annually. We all know where that money is going to.

The trick is to not get so overwhelmed by the thousands of possibilities that you become paralyzed and do nothing but dream of the big money you could be making.... you have to make a choice... and commit yourself to one for starters.

The solution, for a one man show, is to pick one niche that interests you and find a way to put your offer in front of as many potential customers as possible.

Focus and hard work will always bring in the dollars in any profitable niche......... and you've had a descent amount of success in a niche as competitve as online poker...... the other niches will seem like your KK against their JJ.
