There is a new and explosive trend in the world of gambling and sports betting: Internet sports betting. People are discovering en masse through internet searches and word of mouth just how simple it is to bet on sports on the World Wide Web. The internet is saturated with new ideas and “get-rich-quick” schemes, but few are successful, except when it comes to sports betting. The introduction of the Internet has especially opened the floodgates for the sports betting industry. The Internet finally allowed websites and their owners to access a worldwide audience and membership instead of just a local audience. The diversity of membership has increased the viability of the online sports betting industry and created one of the largest and most important sectors online. These sports betting websites turn over billions of dollars every year and are growing bigger every day.
What if I told you that you can make money as a sports betting affiliate without risking a penny of your own money? It’s true. There are literally thousands of sports betting websites all vying for a piece of the pie. Big money is not only made by the facilitators of sports betting websites, but also by an affiliate system. The sports betting affiliate program is evident in most of the sports betting and gambling websites. They offer a rewards and/or revenue share program to help advertise their particular sports betting website hopefully above the rest.
Reward sharing, in terms of sports betting affiliate systems, offers you a reward for attracting a new paying customer. You, as an affiliate, can do this by word of mouth, directing traffic on your website to a particular sports betting and advertising website. This is a ‘take the money and run’ effort: a one-time payment for your efforts to attract new paying customers.
However, reward sharing may not be the most profitable venture in the long run. Many sports betting websites offer a revenue sharing affiliate program. The programs on offer vary slightly from company to company, however, the general idea is that you earn a percentage of the money spent by a player, usually between 20 and 35 percent, and in some cases even you can earn money on player deposits. 20 percent may not seem like a lot of money, but it can actually add up to a lot of cash – your cash – as you build your referral base of paying sports bettors. As they say, “the bookmaker never loses” – you are placing your bets on the right side of the coin by joining as an affiliate.
Let’s face it: advertising is expensive and getting to the top of the ‘Google ladder’ is almost impossible without investing thousands and thousands of dollars and then websites have to worry about people clicking specifically on their website. There is a better way to market your sports betting website. One way to further stretch your money and work much harder for them: by paying you to advertise them. Nothing travels faster than word of mouth advertising – by placing a banner on your website, which is already generating traffic, you only get paid for the paying customers your website or link generates for your sports betting site.
Don’t confuse this with a ‘click through’ program, it is not. This type of sports betting affiliate program requires the customer to click on your banner/website/link to register on the sports betting website, deposit money and wager it. What do they have to lose? Twenty percent of how much money your clientele spends. That leaves the sports betting website 80 percent of the pie, which in turn equates to cheap advertising and marketing for them, and possibly mega bucks for you.
As your list of paying referral customers grows with the sports betting affiliate program, so will your earnings. Think about it: if you have 10 people spending $100 dollars a month on the sports betting website, you have earned $200 with very little work. If you have 50 paying referrals, each spending $250 per month, at 20 percent, you’ve just made $2,500 simply for driving traffic from your website to sign up for a sports betting site.
Also, you have nothing to lose and money to gain. Even if your referred customers earn a lot throughout the month, most sports betting affiliate programs do not accumulate a negative balance. The more of your own advertising you do for the company, the sweeter your own rewards. What are you waiting for? The time to act is now – it’s never too late to get a piece of this fast-growing evolution in gaming.
