Promoting Tell-a-Friend To Non-Poker Players
Earning Tell-a-Friend revenue is not just about marketing towards poker players, you may find you have success with people who don't currently play poker, and we make some suggestions to which of your friends may sign up.
When thinking of friends to promote our Tell-a-Friend (TaF) referral scheme to, the most obvious choice is fellow poker players. These are the guys most likely to earn you the maximum of $500 per friend, because they play lots of hands.
However, it is not always easy to find poker friends who haven't already signed up to PokerStrategy.com, and you may find that people who do not play poker are much easier to convert. Although new players are less likely to earn enough StrategyPoints to generate the full $500 commission per player, you will probably get a lot more initial sign-ups and smaller commission payments this way.
We have picked out some of the groups of people who may find poker, and the offers at PokerStrategy.com, the most appealing:
Sports bettors/casino gamblers
Most of us have friends who like going to the casino for fun, or like to have a friendly bet on their favourite sports teams, and this is how a lot of people discover poker. To begin with, poker seems just like another way to gamble, but after a while many people prefer it because of the skill element.
If your friends are getting frustrated with the variance and lack of control in traditional gambling games, poker is a perfect substitute. Emphasise the skill side of the game, and how you have a much greater degree of control over the outcome. In particular, selling the benefits of the PokerStrategy.com training school will help you persaude them, and if nothing else they might find our free starting capital offers appealing.
College students
Some of the best poker players of the modern game turned pro straight out of college, and this fact is no doubt very appealing to anyone still in education. College students are perfect candidates to promote our poker offers to, for a number of reasons.
First of all, they tend to have extra time on their hands, which means they often can devote a lot of attention to learning poker. Secondly, they are often keen to learn, which means they will be able to get the most from our poker training school.
Most significantly, most college students need to budget well because they don't have a full time job yet. So not only will our free starting capital offers be very welcome, they could view poker as a fun alternative to a part time job while they are studying.
Video gamers
The internet essentially turned poker into a video game, so it is no surprise that a lot of new players were avid video gamers when they take up poker.
The poker industry is really looking towards the video game market bring new players to the table. Poker is becoming integrated with mobile and social gaming more and more, and poker interfaces are being designed to appeal more to recreational players.
If you have friends who are keen gamers, then promoting poker as a video game where you can win money is the way to go. Likewise, emphasisng how poker is becoming much more fun and recreational will appeal to this demographic. Make sure you also mention our dedicated e-sports forum for fans of competitive gaming.
Starcraft players
We know that Starcraft is also a video game, but it probably deserves special mention within the context of PokerStrategy.com. We have a rich history with Starcraft, as our CEO Dominik Kofert was a well known Starcraft player when he founded the site, and a lot of our early members also came to poker via Starcraft.
PokerStrategy.com has sponsored several Starcraft events in the past, and recently we have introduced regular Starcraft tournaments for our members who are also Starcraft fans. If you have friends who play Starcraft, then the chances are that PokerStrategy.com will be a well known and trusted brand name already.
