In terms of getting deep into gaming, from AffiliatePrograms.com:
Think of gaming the same way you think of fanatical football lovers. They get active. They’re playing the sport. They’re on the message boards discussing the games. They’re doing research and chasing rumors to find juicy new details. They’re following the developers on social media. They’re sharing videos and writing about it all the time.
There are many genres of video games, the most popular of which currently is Battle Royale.
You’re in no way cornered to play just one genre of game. On the contrary, a broad mix of games will give you a better understanding of the industry and a better perspective when describing the experiences, features, and technical leaps.
We'll now jump right to leveling one's online presence.
Sure search engine optimization and social media interaction are necessary but "it is important to understand that many gamers do keep their finger on the pulse of the industry".
They understand the things like:
When companies are blatantly trying to overly promote and hype a launch
When companies change their terms of service or back down on their promises
When companies do a bait and switch with the products
In an essence – they are smart about the whole marketing thing because it’s like any other industry – there are times when they are burned and others when things go way better than expected.
What I’m getting at is that your promotion, marketing, and relationship building needs to be sincere and avoid feeling too pushy.
You have to grow naturally.
