Easy to learn online poker

winninraces's picture

I am writing my instructions on how to download Full Tilt Poker from www.fulltiltpoker.net. It is a free, non gambling site that allows people the chance to learn how to play poker games. My instructions will be targeted toward two very different audiences. First, to parents. I believe that offering a fun game for pre-teens and teenagers to play that can be downloaded onto their home desktop can give parents the peace of mind of knowing what their kids are exposed to online. This site is supported by over a dozen proffessional poker players (so the kids will think it's cool) and doesn't require a credit card to start an account.

The second audience that I will target is senior citizens. Many people who are not familiar with the internet know how to play poker games, but don't have a place to play against other people. With a few basic instructions, they could be playing against thousands of other poker players without leaving the house or spending a dime. I can demonstrate how to download the site and create a user name in several short steps and use printscreens to help. The site currently has instructions on how to download the software, but I believe that a flyer or brochure would more effectivelly instruct the audiences I am trying to reach.

It looks like you have a start here. It is interesting the way you have parsed your audiences here, but be aware that as the project description states, one of your audience groups should be experienced users and one should be novice users. Of the parents and seniors groups you have identified, which is the experienced and which the novice?

Also as the project description states, this proposal should establish why you are qualified and credible to write about this topic. You should also provide concrete details about the instruction sets themselves, including ideas for possible graphics and layouts. You only address these issues briefly and generally in a few words at the end of the post.

I am also a bit concerned that this topic, focusing as it does on "how to download Full Tilt Poker," may not be complex enough. Why would the downloading process be different for these two groups (or any two groups)? I would think that you may have to shift your focus to include set up and perhaps also usage. For example, children who have not played poker may need a different kind of playing guide than seniors who have experience with poker.

These are issues I noticed in your proposal. You might also want to look at this post, which deals with a similar topic.
