I dint read the other replys yet, so forgive me if I repeat something.
Here are my tips:
1. Stick with it no matter how much or little business you get in the begining.
2. Be prepared to work day and night.
3. Don’t get offended if someone suggests something to you.
4. Ask you’r affiliate managers questions and let them know you expect their help and advise and that you will take and use that advise.
5. Stay away from gimmicks, both on your site and beware of them visiting you through email.
6. Learn about SEO.
7. AND most important, try to spend about 20-30 minutes each day for at least the next 90 days reading the posts and replys in this fourm that relate to your goal. There is a ton of good gaming info in here and while you might not always agree with the non gaming issues, most of the ppl in here are experts on gaming websites, so I would take this fourm seriously ( the gaming / website part at least)…Hey , good luck.
