Progress Update
To date, I've received valuable feedback from a single user through the buymeacoffee link on the website, and the response has been truly overwhelming. This not only resonates with the community spirit but has also sparked an inspiring idea. Rather than withdrawing these funds, my plan is to channel them into future giveaways once they reach a specified milestone. Additionally, I'm excited to introduce a 'pay it forward' initiative. In this scheme, I'll offer £20 to a new Matched Bettor, covering both their initial £5 deposit and a £15 lay bet. This approach aims to alleviate any stress or apprehension about using personal funds, providing newcomers with a reassuring start in their Matched Betting journey. (Current pot: £5)
The Comprehensive Breakdown: Setting Up a Matched Betting Website for Newbies
Research: Understanding the Landscape - Before diving headfirst into the development phase, thorough research is paramount. Begin by conducting market research to gauge the demand for matched betting services among novices. Delve into the intricacies of your target audience's preferences and demographics. Analyse competitors' websites and strategies to glean insights into what works and what doesn't. Be prepared to invest in market research tools but this isn't necessary at all. You can do it all yourself for free. Take note of competitor subscriptions, their costs and what they offer.
Development: Crafting the Digital Experience - With insights gathered from your research, it's time to breathe life into your vision. Design an intuitive website layout and user interface that resonates with your target audience. This can be done with online tools (FREE and Paid Versions). Invest in quality content creation for tutorials, FAQs, and other educational resources. You can use ScibeHow to make really good visual step-by-step guides, these can easily be embedded into any website. Expect to allocate funds ranging from £500 to £1000 for web design and development services, content creation, and necessary software licenses. That's if you are wanting a developer to make the website from scratch. This is NOT necessary! You can use Hostinger to create a drag and drop website via their AI Website Builder. It has always been really great service so I have never looked elsewhere. I also use them for all my other websites I have built. I have been coding for 3 years and I even used Hostinger Website builder for my MatchedBetting4Newbies website. You also get your own custom domain and email with certain plans. This will cost between £50 to £100 depending on the plan you choose.
Testing: Ensuring Flawless Performance - No launch is complete without rigorous testing to iron out any wrinkles. Conduct thorough usability testing to ensure your website is intuitive and user-friendly. Engage in beta testing to identify and rectify bugs and glitches before the official launch. Pay close attention to testing payment processing systems and user account functionalities. Again, there is no budget for this. Use close family and friends to do this for you. You can always hire testers but the website is all front end with little to no software needed. It will just be the User Experience that will be getting tested.
Deployment: Taking the Plunge - As your website nears completion, it's time to prepare for deployment. Purchase a domain name that aligns with your brand identity and secure reliable hosting services. I use Hostinger for my domain and hosting of the app. It has always been really great service so I have never looked elsewhere. I also use them for all my other websites I have built. Launch your website with finesse, ensuring it's optimized for search engines and equipped with secure payment gateways and SSL certificates. Set aside funds ranging from £10 to £30 for domain registration and hosting fees.
Networking: Building Bridges to Success - With your website live and kicking, it's time to shift focus to networking and marketing. Develop a comprehensive marketing strategy to attract new users and establish your presence in the market. Forge partnerships with related websites or influencers to amplify your reach and credibility. This is where you want to get in tough with Matched Betting companies and apply for their affiliate schemes. This is how you will be gaining a passive income through the links your users click. Engage with your target audience through social media channels and relevant forums. Allocate a budget ranging from £5 to £30 per month for marketing campaigns, ads and subscriptions on social media for more of an audience reach. Make sure you follow, like and comment on community members and your target audience. Your aim is to get them viewing your profile and visiting your website.
In conclusion, setting up a matched betting website for newbies demands careful planning, diligent execution, and strategic investment. By meticulously navigating through the stages of research, development, testing, deployment, and networking, you can position your venture for success in this competitive landscape. Remember, each step is integral to the overall success of your endeavour, so approach them with diligence and determination.
It can take time to get a following or even your first affiliate sale. But all the hard work is done now! Keep showing up on social media, be consistent and the traffic will flow to your website.
