Getting your feet wet as a Poker Affiliate for Free

In the past, when prospective affiliates have asked how to get started in this arena, with no experience, or no money, I’ve left the answering to other affiliates. Even though this is how I myself started out as an affiliate.

After giving that some thought, I’ve come up with what I believe to be a pretty decent way to break into the industry, tried and true by me. learn and create value, for you future domain all at once… for free.

I really think the best first steps for someone looking to get into the industry .. without spending any money, and without a whole lot of pre-learning as far as site creation goes would be to go for it full bore with blogger type sites.

Start with a  blogger.com site, or a wordpress.com site, then work your way into an angelfire.com basic editor site.. If you get all of these making just a little bit of money.. then you should be able to save and buy a design, a domain name, and some hosting (though there are some decent free designs out there, so don’t put tooo much emphasis on that. . . here’s one of my new favorites), however, if you go with word-press, there are literally thousands of templates to choose from.

In the meantime…

You get the experience of creating content, building search engine results, learning your way around website statistics, and all those other things that gambling affiliates face without that initial investment.

At the same time, you’re building future backlinks.

I guarantee you if you stick with it there will come a day when you want your own domain name, and you’re going to have to host it somewhere. Once you’ve done that though, you will have all these other web places in which to promote your new domain name, you’ve built them up, gotten them PR (you’ll learn about that pretty fast) and search engine rank, now you can give yourself immediate quality backlinks from within quality content, located on various domains.

That may not make a lot of sense to you at this point, depending on your previous experience with website promotion, however, take my word for it, it will make a lot of sense when it comes time for you to want those backlinks.

This is a backwards way to go about it, I’m certainly not suggesting it to anyone that is ready to go to Godaddy and pony up a couple bucks for their domain name, in fact, there are lots of Godaddy Coupon codes out there, you can probably get your domain name for about 2 bucks.

For new affiliates, that may want to try several website ideas, I suggest Hostgator, later on, you’ll probably want to look into dedicated hosting.

Note- You can also start a forum but at this point I really don’t suggest that, forums are hard to build, hard to keep active, and to valuable to start on free servers.
