I had an idea that I thought might work, so I figured that I’d tell my poker playing pals at work about my site. I mentioned a few big tourneys with smaller buy ins and huge guarenteed tourneys. I told them about neteller and helped a few sign up. They were droolin! I was able to convert a few regular players at several sites, before I have even submitted my site to any type of directory. The site I had up was truly pathetic. (and still is but slightly less) And still converted well. Then there had been about 6 months with no new activity, so I figured to tell more people what I was doing.
Got some free business cards from a site online. Very basic, very clear.

So now its off to the poker room for a $13 buy in Omaha hi/lo tourney. In California a good Omaha game is hard to find, so I figured this would be an easy sell. I played so GD tight in this tourney and passed out 22 cards to tourney players that wanted more Omaha in their life. Within a week I had 7 new sign ups. Three of them needed to call me for help. One needed to know how to turn on the computer.
Some of these players have moved on to WSOP events from online play, and some have quit, or just play someplace else. But this helped me make some cash quickly and reminded me that nothing beats good old customer service.
