pretty close to giving up now tbh, i thought the affiliate game offered opportunities and less stress than playing poker, but i was wrong.

seems like the money will be worse, less opportunities, and more stress.

atleast i am sick good at poker and have a skill that will make me money forever, im actually losin money overall with affiliate sites. overall im like -$10k and -500 hours of work, im earning no money, pretty much a huge waste of time, biggest mistake ive made ever.

Dude I feel for you man!! I think many affiliates here at one time or another may have felt the same thing as you. I know i did at various times. Most of the reasons for me to feel as such were just a mind block. Negative thinking!

You probably do not want to hear it - but i assure you thinking negatively like this is self defeating. It creates something like bad energy. I know - i have been there.

Maybe a better way to look at it is to not worry so much about making money - but rather just treat it like a hobby and something you just love to do for no reason. Sounds weird or bizarre i know but a long while back i felt the same way.

One day i woke and said i do not give a shit anymore about money. Just did it for the joy of doing it and then i started to see results. I do not know how!!

If i can make one recommendation I would suggest you watch the movie called " The Secret ".

I really think it may help - it can't hurt!!

I know i been watching your posts ongoing and that is because I care. I see how frustrated you are and your part of the community man!!

Get yourself out of the rut man - think positive like nothing will bother you - try and build on the site like you couldn't care less.... LOL.

I may be full of shit and you may not really care what I have to say but at the end of day if it helps you - just know at least one person cares!! I am sure others do as well..

Stay positive at all costs!! Like its life or death! -

I’m not sure I would feature PokerStars and Full Tilt as my top two rooms on a strategy site. If someone is looking for complex strategy they are probably signed up to these rooms already. I would feature Bodog probably.

All players searching for complex strategy end up playing at Stars or FTP, all other rooms suck for masstabling and higher stakes players.
The problem is that most of them already signed up at these two rooms.

Interesting discussion for me, as I have the same problem: very low conversions on my German strategy site.

the problem is theres not enough money in strategy for me to make a awesome living. im going back to my 100k a year grinding nl200 job. im actually gonna use this as motivation, and spite to suceed more in poker. im fucking angry at affiliating, at the end of the day its only my fault, not anyone elses, but im angry that i have invested so much time and effort and are seeing 0 fucking results.

Its obviously my own fault for creating a site based around strategy only and no clear way to monetize it, rakeback doesnt work, reviews/normal offers does not work, training sites get low commissions and theres not much volume to be had. Only possible way to maybe make money is to offer some kind of poker training course or e-book product, but them im competing against sites like cardrunners, which i cant do on my own, even if im a fucking epic player.

At the end of the day, its my fault, i have a genius of a fucking brain and im gonna use it to own peoples souls and crush poker. I felt like i had some business acumen, but i was obviously wrong about that.

The fact that im -10k and several hundred hours is even more of an opportunity cost because my hourly plaaying poker is like $100. and its not even that im impatient, i just cant see in the long run that ill be able to earn any money. If u put in $10k into 3 or 4 sites, put in several hundred hours and are still make 0 fucking sales, i guess its a fucking sign.

When you have a signup ratio of 1 signup to 10 thousand visitors its fucking hard to make any money. fuck you poker affiliating, fuck you. im done.
