Unless you’ve decided to hide in a cave for the last ten years, there’s a good chance you know about this whole Internet poker phenomenon. It’s not like poker is a new game, per se, but it has rapidly grown in popularity thanks to televised events like the World Poker Tour.

How can you cash in (no pun intended) on this growing industry? Well, as you’ll learn from this review, Full Tilt Poker actually has one of the most lucrative affiliate programs on the web today.

Affiliate with Full Tilt Poker

With big names like John Juanda and Gus Hansen, you already have a highly recognizable brand on your hands. Full Tilt Poker is one of the most popular online poker rooms, offering a wide range of different poker games and formats, but it also gives you an opportunity to “play with the pros.”

Even if you don’t play poker yourself, you can still make money with Full Tilt Poker.

That’s where the affiliate program comes into play. You can make affiliate income by referring new players to the site who go on to play for real money. It doesn’t matter if they choose to play cash games or tournaments; you get paid both ways.

From what I can see, registration requires filling out a short form and submitting it online. There does not appear to be an approval process, so you can start earning your commissions right away.

Choose from Two Payment Plans

When you sign up for the Full Tilt Poker affiliate program, you can choose from two different payment schemes. These are mutually exclusive, so you can’t double-dip on your earnings.

The first payment plan is CPA, so you are paid a one-time commission for each new player that you refer. This is based on the number of qualified referrals each month and you can earn a bonus if they are particularly active on the site. These payouts range from $75 to $215 per player.

The second payment plan is a percentage revenue plan, giving you a percentage of the money Full Tilt earns each month from your referred players. This is on an ongoing basis with commissions ranging from 20% to 35%, depending on the net revenue generated by the players you refer.

You can’t really say that one payment plan is more lucrative than the other, because it depends on the behavior of the players you refer to the site. If you send people who play regularly and spend lots of money, the PRP is probably better. If you send people who may not play as much, the CPA model may be in your best interest.

The Importance of Full Tilt Points

You’ll notice that the way Full Tilt “qualifies” a referral is based on the number of “FTPS” that the player earns. These Full Tilt Points are earned by players for participating in ring games and in tournaments.

For the former, each dollar raked from a pot results in one point being given to every player dealt into the hand (to a maximum of three points). For the latter, seven points are given for every dollar paid in multi-table and sit & go tournaments (with no maximum).

Make Money by Referring More Affiliates

What if you have an audience like John Chow dot Com where there are more people interested in Internet marketing than in Texas Hold’em? You can make money there too.

The referral program rewards you for referring other affiliates too. It seems that the “sub-affiliate” system only runs one level deep, but you can earn either 3% of net revenue or a $5 fixed CPA, depending on the payment plan you chose.

Put on Your Poker Face

You don’t have to have a website to promote Full Tilt Poker. They welcome other forms of marketing too (like ordering reviews on popular blogs). You can also remind your readers that Full Tilt offers an automatic 100% initial deposit match (up to $600) for new accounts.

What about getting paid by the affiliate program? Instead of sending your earnings via PayPal or sending you a cheque, Full Tilt deposits the money into your Full Tilt Poker player account. They want you to put the cash back on the table, you see.

I had to take my car into North Shore Acura today to get it service and change out the winter tires. Since I was going to be stuck at the dealership for a couple of hours, I figure I would just blog from there. After all, I’ve been blogging from all over the city lately so why not a car dealership? North shore Acura was actually a pretty good place to work from. They had a nice table for me to set up my blogging gears and a coffee machine that made a great Cafe Mocha. However, their wireless Internet was pretty slow.

I decided to use my time at North Shore to do a video featuring all the stuff in my laptop bag. These are the gears which allow me to run my business from anywhere in the world. My mobile blogging setup has scaled down a lot since I showed it in China. This had a lot to do with new flight restrictions the United States imposed after that failed underwear bombing attempt.

The entire video was filmed, processed and uploaded to YouTube while at North Shore Acura. The staff were pretty cool and didn’t seem to mind me making a home for myself. One of the salesmen even recognized who I was.

The online auction is nothing new. If you’re looking to score a deal on a new Nintendo Wii or maybe a used digital camera, heading to a place like eBay isn’t such a bad idea.

One of the newer developments in recent years is the penny auction, giving you the opportunity to buy an iPod for pennies on the dollar. Quite literally.

Taking a slightly different approach to this concept is Bid on Cash, the website that serves as the subject of today’s review. As its name implies, you actually bid on cash prizes.

Getting into the Game

Getting started with Bid on Cash is a very quick and painless process. First, you’ll need to fill out the user registration form, which really only asks for a username, email address, and password.

From there, you’ll need to confirm your email address and you’re pretty much ready to go. There is a section to fill out the rest of your personal profile, but you don’t have to do this right away. You will, however, need to spend a little cash to buy some bids.

So, How Does It Work?

In case you’re not familiar with the penny auction system, you need to buy bids (a dollar each) that you can subsequently spend on the various auctions. Each time that a new bid is placed on a prize, the cost of the auction goes up by a penny and the countdown timer goes up for a set amount of time.

As you can imagine, the auction ends when the timer runs out. The key, then, is to get in the last bid, hoping that no one else puts down another bid after you. The difference with Bid on Cash is that you are, well, bidding on a cash prize of varying value.

The prizes seem to start at $30 on the low end, all the way up to about $400 on the high end. If you figure that each dollar spent on a bid results in one extra penny in the value of the auction, then Bid on Cash needs to get at least 30 bids ($0.30 value) to break even on a $30 auction.

Look at the list of closed auctions, it seems that they’re currently falling pretty far behind on that goal. Most auctions are ending at below the break-even mark; I saw a $100 auction end at 11 cents. In effect, Bid on Cash lost $89 there, not including the other costs involved in running the site.

BidJames is Your Automated Sniper

While you could spend hours on end staring at the main page of Bid on Cash, eyeing the auctions that are soon drawing to a close, you can set up an automated solution instead. That solution is called BidJames.

This virtual assistant, so to speak, will automatically bid on the auctions on your behalf. You activate his services, tell him the bid range and the number of bids to use, and he’ll do the rest. As you can imagine, you can burn through the bids pretty quickly using a system like this.

Getting Extra Free Bids

You can buy additional bids for the site in packs of 20, 30, 50, or 100, but there is no incentive to buy the larger bundles. It always works out to a dollar a bid and, from a business standpoint, I recommend Bid on Cash provide more of an incentive to “players” to buy the larger bundles.

If you don’t want to buy more bids, you can earn some free bids by referring your friends. When someone signs up and buys a bid package using a referral link, you get 10 free bids and the referral gets one free bid.

The Penny Auction for Cash

You probably shouldn’t expect to get rich from Bid on Cash. It can be a fun game, perhaps, but it can get very expensive at a dollar a bid. Also, like all the other penny auctions on the Internet, you do run into the possibility of fraud and deceit. I received five free bids to do this review and, well, I was always outbid. I saw others win auctions at much lower totals.

The wonder tablet from Apple went up for pre-order this morning. Did you get your order in or are you going to wait until it ships on April 3? I am getting four iPads but I had to get them from the US Apple site because that’s the only place that is taking orders. I have a fairly good idea on what Apple’s plans are for the new iPad and it’s not what you might think.

I see the iPad as Apple’s entry into the online book market, which is worth $4.5 billion a year. By comparison, online music does $2.3 billion a year, most of which is controlled by Apple iTunes. If Apple can do for books what it did for music, they will revolutionize another industry, put the fear God into Amazon.com and most importantly, create another huge cash cow for themselves.

I like the new iPad so much and what it means that in addition to the four iPads, I purchased a large block of Apple stocks today. What about you? Is an iPad in your future?
