A Couple Of Questions

[FrazVegas]

I typed "make a site" into the search box on the forum and there was only one thread listed, and it wasnt relevant to my questions, so sorry if these questions have actually been asked before.

Hi my name is Fraser and I live in Scotland Uk and Im completely new to poker affiliates. I figured Ive given away so much playing poker, I may as well make some selling poker.

Ok here are the questions.

What site builder would you recommend I use? (I have no technical ability )

Or, what website designers can you recommend me?

I want my website to be based around professional players, but Im scared that people will visit the site, see the info and not sign up through my affiliate links. How do I combat this?

Is creating an ebook with affiliate links a better method to use than creating a website? (Ideally the ebook would be for free or for a minimal fee.)

Do the Harrington on Holdem and Super System ebooks have re-sell/give away rights?

Do you have any other advice for a beginner?

I know Im asking a lot, but even if you can answer one of my questions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch - in advance.

Hey Fraz Welcome

I'll try to give you a little advice on a few of your questions...

I want my website to be based around professional players, but Im scared that people will visit the site, see the info and not sign up through my affiliate links. How do I combat this?

There's no way full proff way to prevent this but if you have a lot of content on your site people are willing to stick around. Also use bonus codes from the poker rooms. Make your guest feel you are giving them a promotion they can't get anywhere else.

Is creating an ebook with affiliate links a better method to use than creating a website? (Ideally the ebook would be for free or for a minimal fee.)

Ebooks have always been great ideas. The only problem is the flooded market. Getting your ebook out there is hard to do without a website with a lot traffic.


Do the Harrington on Holdem and Super System ebooks have re-sell/give away rights?

Click here and sign up for Amazon Affiliates. Then you can refer your website guest to Amazon and get a %.

Hope these help a bit. Good luck!

For website design I would suggest using either Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. These two products are the leaders in the industry, with Dreamweaver being the big player. Neither of them require a STRONG technical background but it might take a little getting used to. Another important program is Adobe Photoshop, to use for making all of your web graphics....this program requires some practice as well.

It might be easier to pay someone to create your first website for you. I'd try to stay away from large web development companies because they cost you a hefty chunk out of pocket. I'd recommend fishing around these forums for another member that might do web design contract work at reasonable rates.

There are hundreds of threads of valuable information on this website, for beginner advice. It's a large saturated market but there are still ways to make good money in the industry, just do your research.
