The Best Poker Blog Topic Ever

Blogging is a hobby of mine. I suppose you could say that writing is the true hobby, but I also enjoy the idea that you post regularly on a topic and people read your work. You do not have to shout over anyone to be heard, you are the only voice in your own little blog world. I run a poker blog, politics blog and even an anonymous personal journal. I was sent by e-mail by a reader of mine wanting a good topic for their online poker blog and after some thought I found a great topic for them, and it could be a good topic for you too if you fancy running a poker blog.

Before I reveal it, consider what makes a good blog topic. It needs to be specific yet loose enough so you can always have something to post about and it must be interesting for both you to write and for your readers to read. Imagine a poker blog about the colour of poker chips, after one or two posts there would be nothing left to write about!

A great poker blog topic is “How to Make Money from Poker Starting with $0.00″. Most poker rooms have freerolls and then low stakes cash games and tournaments progressing through the stakes. A blogger wishing to chronicle their Durrrr-like rise through the limits in a great looking poker blog will get readers. They can write about their cash game encounters, hands that are interesting and use a poker hand replay tool that can be found for free online to illustrate their hands, and discuss their tournament results and thoughts on bankroll management. Good results or bad plays, every poker player can relate to your story and you will get regular readers.

Every single online poker player can relate to starting with no money and increasing their bankroll slowly but surely over time. Even those with a lot of money can relate to it and will probably be interested by a player trying to start from scratch and build up. It is a theoretical possibility for everyone who plays poker and those that do not that could take part in a challenge like this and potentially succeed, so you may find new poker players use you as inspiration.

Since Chris “Jesus” Ferguson did a bankroll challenge online turning $0.00 into $10,000 in around eighteen months using strict bankroll management techniques thousands of players have tried to do likewise. It is not easy, but if you can do it you have proven you can beat the lower stakes and in theory you should always be able to get your hands on money should you suffer some bad beats. A healthy skill to have I am sure you will agree! Note that this sort of gain can be done in a shorter time but Chris Ferguson has other commitments other than grinding a bankroll.

The best poker blog is one that go on and on. It takes time to develop a loyal readership and the worst thing is if you suddenly stop posting. It does not take longer than around fifteen minutes to do a good posting and once you start getting comments on your posts and discussions starting by readers on what you write the effort will be worthwhile. Poker is a game where playing on your computer when you are alone with every table member trying to pinch your chips can seem lonely at times, so having the support of your readers and good luck messages can really help.

If you are reviewing your favourite poker room you could even brand your theme and have links to the poker site that earn you money when a reader signs up through your poker blog via their affiliate program. That could earn you extra money that you can add to your growing bankroll. One day you may win one of the big tournaments and succeed in turning no money into a lot of money. Whatever happens, keep blogging and you will enjoy the opportunities that a regularly read poker blog can offer and you may even be contacted by sites wanting to advertise on your website. That can be profitable too.
