Starting brand new affiliate site

[gam3shark]

Hi guys,

which affiliates/casinos you would recommend to consider for brand new affiliate website? This will be my 3rd attempt to create a website which generates revenue, so any suggestion is more than welcome.

What geos are you targeting?

 

[AussieDave]

Aside from your GEOS there are so many other variables.
Your question is akin to asking... how long is a piece of string?

If you don't want your 3'rd attempt, to go SOUTH like the other 2 sites have, I'd suggestion, when you ask questions here, you supply as much information about your site (we don't have crystal balls), which, in-turn will help those your seeking assistance from, to actually help you

NB - There's a LOT of trial and error or if you prefer, A/B testing, to determine which programs work with your site. It's not a one size fits all. What works for affiliate site X, may have crap results for affiliate site Z.

May I ask why the other attempts didn't work?

 

[gam3shark]

betting-places.com for example was a website which did not convert. Problem I made is that I started writing for US market and eventually started writing for other GEO's which did not work. Nevertheless, I had daily visits, but never made any money there.

Anyway, now I am targeting again US market but don't want to focus only on US Sweepstakes + Casino. If possible I would go english only and decide to which GEO when I see where it sticks. Of course if that is possible.

Tackling the US market is not an easy task by all means. If I were you, I would have a look at others geo's to get started, just my opinion. Do you know any other languages?

 

[gam3shark]

Yeah I could cover balkan countries or german market

 

[Jetman]

Yeah I would definitely start with the Balkan countries. Lower competition, so it will be easier to get some traffic to start with and hopefully conversions. I am just saying this as you have tried twice already, and I assume both times were for the USA market?

It is so much more motivating whe you create a site and get some revenue out of it. Once your site actually has some traffic, it will be easier to target bigger and more profitable countries while you expand your site.

I assume you have a budget?

Look at what other competitors in your niche are promoting - since you're starting a new site, I assume that you'll first be targeting some lower competition sub-niches - look at what other sites similar to yours are promoting, and start there.

 

[gam3shark]

That's exactly what my plan was. Sub-niche and I would focus on one topic and build around it.Already have one site which is build in a similar way. Now 6 months later it has around 400k impressions and 20+k clicks. So the plan was do similar again in Sub-niche

At least that was a plan. Therefore I wanted to know if I should consider smaller operators/casinos and ignore the big guys (DK, FanDuel etc.)? And if you know which smaller casinos offer good (and you would recommend) deals that would help a lot.

You should keep an open mind - don't ignore anyone until you have enough data that tells you that you should. Without more data on the markets you are targeting, the players you have, traffic sources etc, I can't really tell you anything more than what @AussieDave said - you'll need to A/B test until you figure out what works for you.
