I was looking online on how to deactivate my bet365 affiliate membership, when I stumbled upon this thread by accident. Having scanned through first few pages, I felt compelled to register just to reply.
First and foremost, social media is an excellent driver for AM, no start up costs involved, with a lot of hard work and dedication you can certainly be getting your first sign ups within a month. Sadly, as with anything that goes mainstream, the market or rather platform has become over saturated and seen a lot of amateurs enter the fray. The popular SM accounts like the Spain Train, FootballAcca, etc have paved the way for a path towards AM for masses.
Indeed, the new betting tips accounts now spawn everywhere. Yet, actually very few are successful and long-lasting. Some tipsters have seen that you hit a ceiling with your AM sign ups and instead now charge people a fee for their tips, monthly or annually as an alternative revenue stream.
The issue I take with the OP, is that he is clearly lying about his figures and misleading others by giving fraudulent advice. There is absolutely no way you've made 250k in space of a year with your current set up. Here is why:
1) Figures don't add up. You claim to have had 3,147 unique Sign ups, out of which only 2,240 have made the initial deposit - yet you claim with your screenshot to have made €216,129.56. Since you only get 30% commission from Bet365 - it would mean that on average every single one of your depositors has deposited at least a little over €320 each into their accounts. And that is not even taking into account that Bet365 affiliates pay out the negative carry over out of their earnings.
2) Low traffic. From that LAD page you've posted, it didn't take me long to link it back to your main betting tips page. Lo and behold, despite over 50k likes, the interaction on the page is minimal. Under your posts, you get a few dozen of comments and likes. How many people actually 'like' a page and then never pay attention to it ever again, I'd suggest 98% of your target audience.
3) Poor content. Having scrolled through some of your posts, I haven't seen anything innovative or engrossing that stands out on your page that will pull people in to part with their cash. Rolling acca, as an example where you have 25 quid and 11 bets later you turned it into 110 quid before losing it. I am not buying it, judging by your comments - your audience doesn't buy it either. It's all been done before, on much larger scale and much much better.
4) Deception. Whether photoshopping or pure dishonesty when you post bets claiming to be of up to 10k-20k on 1 match or in our case you posted a picture of your supposed 'earnings'. Is anyone supposed to believe this nonsense? Especially when you end up losing.
You know what I think? I think you were a casual gambler, possibly first time gambler that got pulled in by one of these successful betting tips accounts and after getting burned you thought if they can do it, I can do it. You replicated their business model (if we can call it such) with some success. After new signs ups dried up - you resorted to posting fake bets of 10k a pop to draw in a crowd, but it takes more than looking at form table to provide decent tips and it backfired. I don't know why you felt the need to deceit people, is it a compulsive liar/sociopath in you or do you just like showing off?
I've earned almost a million in last period... look I can do it too
