What about FOREX Affiliates?

I remember when a few poker affiliates were very enthusiastic about a new “trend”. The thing is called FOREX and could be the next big thing. A lot of poker affiliates doubt that and there are good reasons for that. I don’t want to explain them in detail here. The interesting question is: will FOREX be an interesting market for bored poker players and can poker affiliates make a lot of money with it?

I think: yes, indeed! There’s no doubt that you can make a lot of money as an affiliate with forex players. It’s pretty much the same. The important point is: will FOREX ever be as interesting as poker? Never ever! But that doesn’t mean that you should not care about it and give it a shot. I’d see it as a niche for “more analytical” poker players. It’s  not interesting for gamblers even though it’s gambling if you have no idea what you’re buying or selling. And most of the poker players are gamblers, not winning players!

FOREX is definitely a new emerging market you should be aware of as a poker affiliate. It surely is a great way to diversify. One problem is that you need some trading knowledge which is harder to gain than poker knowledge. Creating content should be very, very difficult for poker affiliates. And that’s a big disadvantage, no doubt about that!
