3 Great Tips To Make More Money Playing Online Poker

There are three very important things that you should have in mind before playing online poker. First you should know how to choose a table, second you should know were to sit at the table you choose and last but not least you should know when to live the table.

How to choose an online poker table.

First of all when you are choosing an online poker table you should think of choosing one with players who are of a lesser skill level than you. So when you select a table the statistics will appear. Usually you will be given the following info:hands per hour, percentage of players seeing the flop, and average pot size. An important thing is that hands per must be very high, because when the game is fast you can make more money.

The perfect table is a loose one. So you should carefully look at the of players seeing the flop. So if the percentage is at least 30 at a table with 10 players than it's good. You should look for lower limits.

The next thing you should check before sitting at an online poker table is the pot size. You can tell by the pot size if it's an active or an passive table. Here are now rules, because you can win at a passive table as much as you can at an active table.

The last thing you can look at before choosing an online poker table is the stacks of the other players. If they are playing with much money usually means that they are serious players. But many great players sit down at the table with small stacks in order to remain inconspicuous. There are also many poor players with lot of money to spend.


Where to position yourself at an online poker table

The best thing for you is to have the stronger players on your right. This way you can act after they do. If you never saw those players playing you should try to watch them for a while. You should observe and take in mind if a player is loose or tight. After this try to position yourself in order to have the tight players on your right.

If you have the luck to find any maniacs at the online poker table on your left you dispose of many advantages. A maniac is a person who loves to raise with little to back up. So you can see how the other players react to his bets, if they have good hands to call him.

When to leave from an online poker table

Before every hand you have to questions in your mind: to leave or not to leave. It's important that you are the one that makes this choice not the other players at the table.

If you feel that you are loosing you should ask your self another two questions. Is this the best table for me? Am i in shape? So try too see if the reasons that made you choose that online poker table still exist. Check if any of the poor players have left or if any good players have arrived. Is everyone still playing as loose as they were when you began? Even after you decided that there are the same table conditions you should check the other tables. Maybe you can find a better one.

So in the end in order to make the right decision you must be honest with your self. You must be able to make the difference between a simple bad luck or the fact that you could be outmatched. You also might be tired or stressed. There are many factors that can lead you to a bad game. The most important thing is to stay calm so you can make the right decision.

In conclusion this are the three most important matters that you should keep in mind when you want to play online poker.

21 Simple Ways To Make More Money From Your Current Clients, Part 3

>

It is easier to make additional money from your current clients than it is to go out and find new ones! See 21 simple ways in this three part article series.

Part Three:

15. Follow-up with your customers to see if they're happy and offer them another product.

Use your autoresponder script or subscription to send a follow up message 2-3 days after they have purchased and make sure they are happy with the product.

Some examples of this type of account or script are: Getresponse or AWeber, for examples of an autoresponder company.

Or a self-installed script like a custom version of QuickPayPro, which has the sequential autoresponders plus the shopping cart etc., or a simpler script like Autoresponders Unlimited if all you need is the autoresponder part and not the full shopping cart.

Another thing to add in the message to make sure they are using the product (Especially an ebook) is to ask how they liked a specific chapter's information. With software, it could be a specific feature or action the software performs.

For example, with an ebook you could say, "So how are you enjoying that tip in chapter 4? Did you save as much money as I did when I used this method?"

They will have to go to the ebook and see - especially if you can add something like the part where I said "did you SAVE as much money as I did?"!

How will they know:

a.) What you did b.) How much you saved c.) What the method was

Unless they read the book?

16. Offer people a free sample of your product and tell them they will get a discount if they order now.

For an ebook it could be the first couple of chapters or chapters that don't give away all your "secrets". For software it could be a 30 trial or a version of the software that doesn't have all of the features enabled.

17. Send your customers a "thank you" e-mail with a back end offer attached.

Send this one immediately or 1 day after purchase. Remember the follow up email asking how they like the product/ebook/software/video, etc. will be going out on day 3 or 4.

The offer should optimally be related to an enhancement of the product they just purchased. But not the "new and improved" version of the same product!

More like selling tea pot covers to tea pot buyers, bookmarks to book buyers and video viewing software to video buyers... get it?

18. Offer your customers add-on products like gift wrapping, batteries, imprinting, etc.

Think about complimentary items that enhance your items such as:

* Presentation or looks * Ease of Use * Beauty * Features * Speed * Bells and Whistles * Longevity * Widen Appeal to larger group of people * Emotional Attachment (Personalization)

And so on.

19. Allow your customers the option of signing up to your "future product offers list".

I know some online business persons who have a "Early Bird" notice list. Subscribers get notified early of these special members' only deals!

They are basically asking you to tell them when they can buy the next product (or affiliate product / recommendation) from you! Who would want to turn that down?

20. Explain to people that for extra money, they can extend the guarantee or warranty of the product.

This is self explanatory for anyone who has ever been to Sears, Best Buy or Circuit City! Every single purchase you make from those stores comes with an offer of an extended warranty. It is the easiest way to increase your profits by 10% that I know of!

21. Give rewards instead of money for ezine referrals.

There are scripts that you can install that will do this for people who send you referrals for your ezine or site. It tracks the clicks and the subsequent hits by the same person to the thank you page.

Obviously they signed up if they go from the sales page to the thank you page - right?

Then it would record the referrer and every month (or quarter, etc.) you can give rewards, bonuses, or commissions to the top 5 or 10 referrers. Don't run it like an affiliate program where everyone gets the reward, you should already have an affiliate program in place. No, run this like a contest to build up the competitiveness of it!

You want them WORKING to send you people so they are in the top 5 or whatever you set as your payout levels.

Well, that's it, 21 Simple Ways you can Make More Money from your Current Clients.

If you have any other ways, send them to me and I will post them in the Ebooks for Ebusiness Blog with your name and your web site link!
