Hey all, I'm new here. I know of GPWA but haven't thoroughly checked the forums. I understand this is mostly about affiliates but I have a question and didn't find any results.

I have started a paid tipster service (I only offer the predictions for a subscription and don't/won't have any affiliate links). I understand that people's websites range from general ones to very specific niches. My question is if you would entertain the idea of paid articles (advertising my service) and a range of its cost. A general case would be if I could do proper affiliate tracking as in it would be a real affiliate program and you could take a percentage of the subscriptions. But I currently don't have something like this. So I'd be looking at something that would bring people to my twitter/discord/website for most likely a fixed amount?

I don't know if that is something common here, but let me hear your thoughts (not specifically about me, but whether this is a thing or I just made this concept up!).

Obviously I'm not a tech/marketing wizard so I'm looking to learn. Currently I only operate on twitter/discord and specialize in nba player props so having a site to send traffic is a hypothetical scenario.

Regardless if anyone wants to share his opinion (or prices) here or in private, I'd be happy to listen! Like for a fixed cost article/advertisement how much would you think it's reasonable to charge? And for a 30$pm subscription, what percentage cut would make it worthwhile for you??

Thanks

Personally, in my opinion, to run a tipster site and "not" have affiliate links or ads is wasting potential traffic, but a handful of tipsters do this.

As for article and or link selling, I think you will be pleasantly surprised how much response this will get. I think you will get more response selling articles on your site with links to the affiliates and less response for paid ads on their sites pointing to you.

And offering a commission on your monthly fee, would not be worthwhile to many affiliates if it is a one-off commission, and places you in the capacity of offering an affiliate program directly.

Hey Rick, thanks for the input. I think I got it, although I'm curious about your second point. Are you suggesting that affiliates (as in someone who operates sites with affiliate links) would pay, for instance me - if I had a website, to have their referral links on my site or links to their website?

Well, when you talked about articles, you could consider accepting quality guest articles with links, where either you or they write an article you publish on your site, at a price, where you earn revenue for the publishing. Consider limiting this to no more then 1 or 2 links per article, and require that the articles are of fair quality.

Yes, you can sell links on your site. You can just sell direct links for revenue. At that point, I think it would be silly to sell links that are affiliate links that someone else gets credit for. If it is worth someone else paying for the link, clearly you would make more if they were your own affiliated links.

And if you do not already have a site get one regardless, since you are missing a great deal of follow up with those you sell tips to by not having one. This also allows you to remind others such as:

this was how many picks I got right last week
my percentage of correct picks were xx% the last 2 months
I hit x% last season....etc etc etc.

The after sale followup at your own website should be explored.

If you have followers that have not quite converted to buyers, by reading more at your site you might be able to close the sale.

Study carefully though, as you may decide you don't want to sell links, and add only your own affiliate links, or write strictly your own content that center around your tips.

This is only the surface of possibilities and ideas.

I would check if other tipster affiliate programs exist.

So far I found 2 of them in a search. I am learning Ahrefs but you can see which sites are linking back to these tipster sites too

First of all, right that the lack of aff links is a bit of a waste of potential. But if there are not to be them, I would, if I were you, emphasize that it does not cooperate with bookmakers. Among players this could legitimize the opinion that the types are really made for the player's profit and not for the bookmaker's profit. On the other hand, when giving a type it is worth stating where the highest odds are. Because sometimes at 2.2 the value odds are worth playing the match, and when the odds fall to 2.1 it is a waste of money.

There used to be a lot of sites with paid types, most are scam. The price of 30€ is very low. It depends on which players you target and whether the effectiveness of the types is real.

I think you would find people willing to advertise you for a % profit for the lifetime of your user. Not from a one-off.
However, I would first bet on transparency, to make these types really effective and documented it should be on the site.
