We begin in 1994 when polish poker player, entrepreneur, Henry Orenstein conceived, and patented, the equipment for the the pocket card camera. This allows viewers to see the pocket cards of the contestants during TV replays. The first use of the device occurred in 1997 on an English poker telecast.

Poker had been on TV since the 70′s, but had a very small viewing audience. This was because not knowing what cards the players had, you were guessing what the players were trying to do. This clever device made watching poker events on TV massively more popular.

The next thing that moved us closer to the poker explosion was the arrival of poker on the world wide web. The initial internet poker room had players at the tables in 1998. Now, players can play in the tranquil environment of virtually any place they can imagine. Web based poker action will show steady growth as players began using these new poker venues.

This sets the stage for the final piece to the puzzle. So, when Chris Moneymaker beats some of the top pros in the game to win the world series of poker Main Event in 2003, the poker boom happens. Qualifying for the tournament by winning a $40 online satellite tournament, then winning the Main Event bracelet, starts the avalanche of poker popularity.

The combination of the hole card cam drastically adding to the number of people seeing poker on TV, and the build up of online poker broadening the player base, had set the stage for poker to take off to incredible levels of popularity. Everyone seeing an internet, amateur player, capture the biggest title in all of poker, poker boomed.

The increases we observe results in a lot of potential money making opportunities for poker savvy business people. There are a lot of ways to make a living in this growing poker industry. Most of these choices are internet. Here is a short list of a few of the businesses you might want to start that involve poker.

Business people have created software applications that help online players to study their own play by using the hand histories in their computer files. Some people are opening their very own online poker rooms. There are poker leagues happening at pubs and bars all over the place.

These are most, but by no means all, of the various opportunities that people have found to cash in on the poker explosion. Being in a poker business from the internet certainly appears to be the most promising. The future for poker still looks bright, and the potential for making money is there for anyone willing to go for it.

What do presidents, candidates for political office, political debaters and Internet Marketers have in common? Writers. We all need fresh content.

The political leader outsources to a speech writer; the Internet Marketer hires a freelance article writer. Both entities are ghostwriters who take no credit for his work. The speaker or webmaster takes all the glory.

Ghost (speech) writers have been utilized by our political leaders for 100′s of years. Perhaps you’ve heard that Alexander Hamilton was the speech writer for George Washington. If that is true, then Alexander Hamilton is probably the most famous ghostwriter of all times.

A ghost writer is a writer who works for compensation and upon completion of the project releases all rights to the body of work. Virtually all public figures use ghostwriters to write their memoirs, correspondence and speeches. Many webmasters have discovered the benefits of using ghostwriters to write their articles, especially those who don’t have the time or talent to keep their web site updated with fresh, custom content.

We will explore and explain the process of hiring a ghostwriter to write those original articles for your website. Following are a few points to help with the process:

Be prepared. Do not contact a ghostwriter without being aware of what you need. Do you require technical data? Will the articles necessitate in-depth research? How many words do you want? What idea do you want the article to impart?

Don’t tell the ghostwriter to “write me an article on dieting” – a subject that has thousands of subtopics and methods. If you don’t understand what you want I can guarantee you the ghostwriter will not delight you, no matter how much they charge or how experienced they are. They are writers, not sorcerers.

Be professional. If you need to hire a freelance writer but you are clueless as to how much they charge or how they work you could end up losing your shirt. Hop over to Google and search for “custom articles”, “freelance writers” and “ghost writers” and see what they are charging.

Some will publish their rates on the Internet. When you find what the “going rate” for ghosted articles is you can develop your budget for the expense. Or, after the research you may determine you can’t afford a ghost writer.

Ask for an estimate. Many times internet sites will publish their rates so you can easily determine what the project will cost. At other times you may need to ask for a quotation.

Or, perhaps you are advertising on one of the freelance sites such as elance.com or getafreelaner.com. As indicated in Item #1, Be Prepared. Cover the following points in your query or posting: a) the length of the Article (i.e. how many words); b) topic (or title) for each article; c) your Deadline; d) how much you will be able to pay; and, e) how you plan to pay them (paypal, google, etc.). 

Be Very Specific. What do you want? Whether you believe it or not there is a difference in “content articles” for your visitors to read and “keyword articles” written to improve your SEO (search engine optimization).

Perhaps you want both. If so, does the freelancer have expertise in people-pleasing content that will also delight the search engines and boost your search engine ranking?

Keep in mind your profit margin. Never overpay for your articles. Be sure to keep good records of income vs. expenditures and don’t forget that the reason you are hiring a ghost writer to write those custom articles for your website is to increase the flow of traffic, hence the earnings, to your website.
