Care to share how, or do I have to buy your book?

  Became a popular poker blogger (which in that tiny niche means 1k-2k readers a day) and established two related startups to monetize it, using the credibility I'd earned. And the book did OK, but less overall than I make in a good month off of my two website.

    Judging by the popularity of sites like partypoker and pokerstars and ESPN's constant coverage of WSOP, I don't think poker is that niche or long tail anymore. You picked a rapidly growing market that was fast moving up the "tail".

      Poker blogs are a tiny niche in the overall blogosphere. Poker itself may not be one, but blogs about it (where a very highly trafficked one might get 1.5k uniques a day) definitely reside in the long tail.
