In my case I have $12,000 budget to invest in paid ads and also invest in all possible ways to promote to huge audiences in few exact/ similar niches as mine.

I need to invest wisely because I don't want to waste my money in paid ads that will probably don't work and that don't bring me any costumers.

My niche is basically "gambling/betting" like football betting, tennis, regby, casino, slot machines, poker, etc.

Those $12,000 available are just for promotion/advertise my gambling website. (My website is already ready to launch, with all design done, structure, pages, articles , all betting interface done, with payment systems setup done).

With my $12000 budget available, what kind of paid ads strategy you guys would recommend me to do in order to maximize the chances of getting my website promoted to millions of people worldwide, with good chances to get paid members in my gambling website?
(Recommend me anything but excluding SEO that takes too long to get results).

I appreciate you guys help.

It would depend on your geo…if you could indicate that ,then that might help but just posting results only and then running an results based campaign of testimonial campaigns can help

I want to focus only in United States, Canada and Austrália.
What you recommend me to do to promote correctly in good platforms to those Tier 1 countries ?

Meta is a good and affordable platform to advertise on if you know how to set it up properly. But keep in mind that $12k is a relatively small budget, so don’t expect to reach a million visits with that. Another option is finding people who already promote this kind of niche and paying them for traffic. I’ve tried both, and in my opinion, it’s worth spending a bit to learn Meta, it’ll be more profitable in the long run
 
I would use that kind of money investing it on paid parasites.
Sites that already have large amounts of traffic and ask for around $2.5k to make a post related to your offer.

Seems a good option. Thank you.
Where I can find those paid parasites website?
There is any platform which I can find a list of those paid parasites websites?
 
I would advise you to go and set up Facebook ads. Of course, there will be problems with locks, but this is the best tool that gives the most results.

I though Facebook are totally obsolete nowdays. People are tired and bored with Facebook as far as I know...
Instagram I think is still good but I ear many many marketers that got zero success through instagram ads too!

Look at established betting sites, like chumba casino, hello millions, stake etc. They focus on Meta ads + Discord channels + Reddit posts/comments especially in their niched communities/own communities.

You can get traffic with the ads, but you'd need to hold on to that traffic, make them speak to one another on public platforms to make them invested, and continue to bet.

Tons of them around, but why become a parasite. Do something newsworthy and continue to pick up links + traffic and build your brand.
 
You're in a super competitive space. If it were me I would do some kind of organic social media marketing, if you want paid media I would choose push advertising

yes I already did exactly what you said promoting in Meta ads, discord, Reddit , etc and other paid ads, in few crypto investing trading platforms, using their affiliate programs, platforms like IQoption, etoro, Xtb. I got few affiliates and paid users too , but at some point there was a decrease in number of new paid members so I start getting negative ROI. People start for some reason stop investing and i see a conservative and negative felling from new members that sign up in those platforms.. They just dont want to invest or at least try with a small amount of money to see if that works for them... I dont get it why people start to be so cheap and conservattive.

So I have to try something else from zero again. Was a frustrating siituation.........

So you think nowdays betting sites worth more to invest and promote than crypto trading platforms?
 
Influencer marketing and affiliate marketing work great for gambling/casino sites. However, you should do competitor research to see what's working for them as they might've tried multiple times to find proven traffic sources.

Ok thanks for advice.
But through which strategy using affiliate marketing it makes the gambling websites work?
Submitting the gambling sites to affiliate marketing platforms? Or through creation of my own affiliate program?
 
For $12k I would say the best bet is TikTok video promoting.
In the country where I am living, there are a lot of people doing videos with guys making money on their laptops while chilling on the beach

Creating your own affiliate program may not work as the visibility will be low and you may need to promote it as well. Submitting your site to affiliate networks is better. Many black hat niches like piracy are dependent on the income from such affiliate offers, so the traffic would be legit in most cases.

I live in a poorest country in europe named Portugal. I already tried that strategy posting 790 videos and I barely make sales.. People here don't have purchase power for nothing.. So my country nothing works..

In which country are you living?

Can you recommend me good quality affiliate networks which I can submit my gambling website? What kind of Influencer marketing are you talking about, it's like Influencer marketing through Instagram or other platforms?

Based on competitor research, I've found a few affiliate networks like Ace Partners. You can check how your competitors are promoting their sites for more ideas as marketing strategies change from region to region.

Many gambling/casino sites are promoting through youtube and instagram influencers. It's similar to affiliate marketing but has better targeting as you can pick influencers that are popular in a region and language. The marketing strategy depends a lot on the region due to local laws & restrictions.

I live in an even poorer country. I believe that the poorer people are, the more they love luxury content.

yes probably. here people are extremely conservative and only buy after they think and re-think, and re-think, and re-think, and re-think, and re-think, and re-think. The people's behaviour in buy intent matter, in portugal, are very bad.
