I took a small break from working which was great. I watched seasons 1 through 5 of Weeds. Now that I am back getting things done. I also did some thinking about the goals of this month. While content is great, it’s not going to make money today. Content is more of a long term, return on investment.
I will be producing and buying content as always. However, I am going to turn my focus to branding my rakeback/limit holdem site. I set up 2 tournaments to run every weekend. I am also, going to run some freeroll tournaments to bring in more subscribers to my mailing list as well as drive sign ups to smaller online poker rooms.
Things Done Since I’m Back…
I set up a $25 freeroll tournament on Full Tilt Poker for my rakeback site. All of my players will be added in the tournament so all the password/freeroll whose looking to sign up to my mailing list just for the password will be out luck with that. However, I will try to convert them with the $25 freeroll tournament on playersonly as a cross promotion for my rakeback site and a poker forum I bought advertisement on. Depending on how well these tournaments do I will host more of them.
As for content, I have produce some articles for article marketing as well as news articles for my poker news site. I did a lot of editing stuff, moving stuff around to add more banner slots without over doing it. I think I did a good job of it. I also decided to start taking some direct ad orders on this site so we will see how that goes for boosting my direct ad sales.
Hopefully the sign ups from the tournament promotions and the traffic from the poker news site will boost the monthly affiliate marketing income. From the monthly income reports we all know my affiliate marketing income isn’t up to par with my direct ad sales. Also, I will begin my bankroll challenge on my poker blog soon so hopefully the readers I gain from it will join me at the tables by signing up through my rakeback site.
With all that being said, I guess I decided to change this month from being about content to producing more signups and affiliate marketing income. Let’s see what happens.
as well.
