Becoming an affiliate

**love2winalot** · 2nd March 2009, 05:14 PM

Hiya. First off, make sure whomever you decide to become an affiliate with, "you can be with as many as you want", that the country you are in, is allowed to play at that site. As example, i used to be one with Captain Cooks, but they no longer allow US players.

Next, some people do not understand what an affiliate is. Some people will see a link to a casino, and bypass it, and just go to the main site on their own. Not trusting to click on a link. Also, if they know that, "YOU" actually play there, it helps.

And..........Each Casino runs it's Affiliate program differently. Some have Chargebacks, and some do not. That being, "what if the player actually wins"?
You can use any of the Free Website Builders, make a "Internet Casino Information site out of it, and post your Affiliate links on your site.

That is precisely why I started my websites.

I wasn't anything to do with money (I had no idea how much people made) - I just found that as a player the information I wanted to see didn't seem to be available anywhere on the net - so I did it myself!

Anyone starting out should treat it as a part time hobby, as I did. It takes a VERY long time for anything much to happen - for the first year I just earned some beer money!

Like anything, learning the casino affiliate business takes time. Most people I know that started as an affiliate worked for about a year before they made any real money.

I do disagree with some of the others, there are risks, besides the legal concerns. You have the risk of wasting your time and money, but that goes for starting any new endeavor.

You do have an initial cash investment, It does cost to rent a server and to rent a domain name. You can get a good Hosting package for anywhere from about $5.00 US a month on up to hundreds a month and Domain name (unique) for around $5.00 US a year. (by the way those prices will really vary)

Then you have the investment of time.
Like I said, it is usually around a year of constant learning and work before you make any real money.

But if you make it... you can truly be your own Boss... and as far as I am concerned there are few better things in the world than being your own Boss.

Wow all this information I am absorbing it all. I will definitely look into this and see if this is what I want to do. Right now I am just researching, because I don't want to get into something I might not be comfortable with. And KasinoKing beer money is better than no money..

Well, I can see you got a very complete response as to being an affiliate.

I just though I would throw in an extra piece of information. The founder of AffiliateGuardDog is giving free mentoring to newbie affiliates.

He is a stand up guy. I'm not posting the link since I don't want to be breaking the rules and get myself some vacation. But I thought it might help if you do decide to take the plunge. I'll try to be good now
