How To Find Top A Quality Holdem Poker Website For Sale
And Why You Should Consider Owning A Holdem Poker Website For
Enormous Profits
If you are searching for a lucrative Texas Holdem Poker Website for
sale this short article should be useful to you.
This is because I make Holdem Poker Websites for sale and have spent
hours researching the market for Holdem Poker Websites for sale so
that I can understand the market and design the kind of Website that
people are actually looking for.
But before I explain where to find the good a quality Poker Website
for sale, let me first summarize why anyone should be considering
owning a Poker website in the first place.
So let me try to answer the following questions for you:
Why Own A Holdem Poker Website?
Because Poker is a huge, huge, industry turning over billions of
dollars a year and anyone with a Poker-Related website (that gets a
reasonable amount of visitors) can make huge sums of money.
According to TheBartend.com (and you can check me out):-
"The top online Poker affiliates in the industry make over $100,000
per month. The average affiliate makes about $10,000 per month."
And pokerseocms.com make this statement:-
"Revenues in online poker business rose from $800 million to $2
billion in 1999. By year 2010, it is estimated to be $4 billion."
Holdem Poker is particularly popular these days and owning a Holdem
Poker website can be very lucrative.
There are many types of poker website that you can own, (but not all
kinds are for sale) and they tend to fall into the following
categories:-
1) Poker Gaming Website (sometimes called Poker Rooms) - where Poker
Players actually play poker
2) Content-Rich Poker Affiliate Websites - website with affiliate
links to the poker gaming websites
3) Poker Product Websites - offering for sale products related to
poker
Of course there are combinations of the above, particularly websites
that are both affiliate and product websites.
All poker websites must have a reason for people to visit them and
this can be useful information - content websites - or desirable
products on sale.
In a moment I'll go into the three types of poker websites that you
could own, but first I want to stress two things essential if you
are to have a successful and profitable poker website:-
1) Poker Players Are Very Demanding
This means that your website Must be of top quality both in terms of
quality of the information provided and the visual appearance of the
site. You won't be able to attract poker players to an
unprofessional looking website full of junk information.
2) Don't Mix Poker With Other Gambling Subjects
Don't try to promote Poker items or Poker affiliate links from a
site dealing with other gambling subjects, such as roulette,
blackjack or general Casino subjects. Poker players often don't
consider poker as gambling and they aren't responsive to offers made
on Gambling websites.
So, to own a successful Poker Website the website must be highly
professional and dedicate to poker. If you are promoting Holdem
Poker, then you should be looking for poker websites for sale
dedicated to Holdem Poker.
Now let's take a look at the three types of poker website that you
might want to own:-
1) Poker Gaming Website - where Poker Players actually play poker
(Called Poker Room websites)
These are the most lucrative kinds of website - turning over
millions a week - but not surprisingly it is not easy - or cheap -
to acquire one. There simply aren't many for sale.
Quite the opposite, anybody with a decent poker room website would
be barking mad to put it on sale, because they will be raking in an
absolute fortune every week.
The alternative is to buy, or have custom made, a poker room script
(program).
But again this will be very expensive both to buy and to maintain. I
have seen a script on sale for $5,000 but it was offered by an
individual and not for sale by an established company.
Also with this type of poker website you would need a huge amount of
capital and robust ecommerce systems. These kind of websites get
huge traffic and you would need very expensive an dedicated servers.
Be prepared for a capital investment of $50,000 if you want to start
this kind of poker website.
2) Content-Rich Poker Affiliate Websites - website with affiliate
links to the poker gaming websites
This kind of poker website is the just about the simplest and lowest
cost website to own.
There are several for sale online and they come in the following
categories:-
A) Already Established And Profitable
It is unlikely you will be able to find this kind of poker website
for sale unless you have a huge amount of money to invest for the
simple reason that I mentioned with poker website type 1). They make
so much money that the owner would be crazy to put it up for sale.
B) Build Your Own Poker Website From Scratch
Well, some people have done this. I do it as a profession and
because I have been doing it for years I have learned some shortcuts
and I have a vast library of information, poker related content and
knowledge to draw on.
To build a Holdem poker website for sale would take me a week or
more of full time work. I know this because that's what I do for a
living - build websites for sale. I have been doing this for 9
years.
But for a newcomer to website building to build a website from
scratch - well that would be a route to extreme frustration and a
very steep learning curve.
Quite honestly I wouldn't recommend it.
C) Buy A Turnkey Holdem Poker Affiliate Website
But there are a few ready-made Holdem poker website for sale if you
search for them. There are a number of places you could look, here
are a few that sometimes offer poker websites for sale:-
Ebay
Sitepoint Marketplace
Sedo
3) Poker Product Websites - offering products related to poker
Poker Product Websites are more difficult to construct than poker
affiliate websites because you have to find the poker products to
sell.
These are the kind of products you can have for sale on your
website:-
Physical products that you buy, put in stock and then re-sell. Not
recommended because you will need a lot of capital to buy stock and
there is the physical effort of shipping the goods.
This is not so onerous if the products are informational products
such as DVDs or CDs. These kind of products are ideal to sell
because a) they have a high perceived value b) because the
reproduction costs are very low and c) you don't need an inventory
of products - just publish on demand when you make a sale.
These are a great product to have on sale.
Drop shipped products. This means that you take the order for the
product online, collect the money and then instruct another company
(the drop shipper) to send the product to the customer.
This is OK but the profit margins are not so high as with the CD/DVD
models.
Where To Look For Holdem Poker Websites For Sale
I touched on this above and mentioned the following sources:-
Ebay
Sitepoint Marketplace
Sedo
Another way to find Holdem poker websites for sale is to type those
words into Google.
I hope this little article helps you with your search for Holdem
poker websites for sale.
