Sports Betting Affiliate Newbie..

[Danbryn16]

Hello i am struggling to get sign ups via Twitter & my Facebook page has just been banned from ads which i have contacted them about.

I dont currently have enough money to buy a site or get one made for me.

But I wondered if wordpress is any good for affiliates ? maybe i could start a sports blog and hashtag or Tag loads of teams and bookies. Just wanted your thoughts or whats the best way to go about it

I don't want to sound harsh but it sounds like you want what everyone wants, i.e. a quick fix and easy money with little investment of time or money. Wordpress is fine, but really what any online business needs to be a success is a serious approach, commitment, knowledge, dedication and a certain amount of investment.

Honestly i am not looking for a quick fix, Just wondering where to start with being an affiliate,
Can you give me an advice with the approach ?

Dan,

Many affiliates use wordpress and/or blogger and have some success. Those products are designed for people with limited technical skills to get started and it could be a good option for you to test the waters.

However, in order to succeed, you will need to have a vision as to what sort of site you want to create, dedication to spend time each day working on it, and determination to see it through the first 3-6 months when no-one is visiting and/or clicking on your site. Many people start keen and fail within 3 months.

There is no "easy" path or one page advice sheet that tells you WHAT to create and how to promote. There is no BEST way, it depends on your skills, talents, and abilities.

You should initially promote a segment that you are personally interested in yourself, as that enthusiasm for the subject will come through in the content that you create, and should make you site a place that people will visit again and again.

Good luck.

I was in a grumpy mood before, haha. But yeh I think I latched onto the 'maybe i could start a sports blog and hashtag or Tag loads of teams and bookies'. It just seemed a bit spamtastic. TheGooner has given you some good advice there though.

I just read back my post and it sounds like I may have been dissing Wordpress, which I wasn't. Wordpress is fantastic and I fully recommend it.
