Feedback needed on a testimonial site (gambling industry)
Hey,
Thanks for stopping in and reading. Hopefully you will be able to give me some feedback on this idea I have and let me know if it could be a dead end and not as lucrative as I think.
My first go around in affiliate marketing was a good learning experience. In the end I picked a service that was not very popular and my numbers lacked. I liked the program I was in because my sites users had the option to enjoy this service either monthly or on a continuous basis.
I came up with this new idea for an affiliate site by starting out picking an industry I enjoy (sports betting) and have been involved in for the last 5 years. From there I've picked the 4 best sportsbook affiliate programs.
Most programs pay 25% to 35% of a players net loses for life so I would be trying to attract smaller recreational players who would be depositing $200-$500 per month. I big market I want to tap into is known as "Joe Public" in the betting world. He's your typical sports fan who might through anywhere from $10-$100 on a game. My only concern is that no many from the US are betting sports or gambling with the economy but I can look at the other countries for certain sports.
My plan is to post in screenshots real feedback/testimonials gathered from public sports betting forums on each of the 4 sportsbook I have choosen to be a affiliate marketer for. There are a few big time sites that review sportsbook but have little in the way of actually testimonials. This is where I feel my site can serve a purpose.
For most newbies choosing the right sportsbook is a tough decision and I want to make it easier for them by providing real feedback from real customers. I can't post links but if you would like to see what the page looks like I can send it in a PM.
In the end I would be relying on adwords to draw visitors right away. I haven't looked into how much adwords would cost but I am phoning my account manager at google. There are other ways I can generate traffic but for immediate results I would use adwords.
Any thoughts of feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Jordan
