Do you know what one of the most given pieces of advise is when people ask about good ways to make extra money?

Find something that you love.

Well, with the explosion of televised poker on ESPN over the past couple of years there are an awful lot of people out there who Love Poker.

… and there are also quite a few people who are earning extra income as a direct result of that widespread love.

First thing’s first. If you’re already a good poker player, and you have a decent bankroll to start with, it’s quite possible to earn 10s of thousands of dollars a year playing online poker. Even with the “ban” passed by congress several years ago which makes it harder to transfer money in and out of *some* US banks, there are still many sites that accept US players. My favorites are Pokerstars.com and Ultimatebet.com

A word of caution here. If you’re not yet a “good” player, and/or you don’t have a bankroll capable of standing the occasional streak of cold cards, then playing poker if probably Not a good way to earn extra income.

But, that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun doing it.

… and it doesn’t mean you can’t still make money capitalizing on the poker craze.

You see, almost all of the online poker sites offer very lucrative referral programs. They’ll pay you to send them new players! This opens up a world of possibilities for somebody with a high traffic website … or somebody who knows how to build a good targeted niche site or blog.

In short, Poker, and by extension Poker players offer numerous ways for you to Make Extra Money.

… your imagination is your only limiting factor.
