Making money of football/sport events with content locking

[MrSuez]

So, some people will want to watch these sport events that will be comming on this summer. The EU soccer tournament especially these next few weeks.
Some of them don't have a TV, some don't have channels and some want to watch on their computer.

There are two ways you can set it up:

Free website (blogspot or similar) or your own domain. I’d recommend a cheap .com, but you don’t have to. A shared host will also be fine as you’ll only need it for a day. Most of them won’t cut you off for a little while – so by the time they get round to banning you, you’ll already be done for the day.

If you go with your own domain, I wouldn’t recommend using Wordpress as it is resource intensive and will load too slowly. Plain HTML will be fine. Design a really simple landing page. And when I say simple – I really mean it. I’ve always found simple sites to be the most effective. If you can’t design a site yourself, hire someone on Fiverr or use Httrack to rip a site you like. Don’t worry about putting any content on the site – just a title like “Watch [match name] here LIVE!” should be fine. And a note saying “please be patient and wait for the stream to load” – people will quickly exit if it doesn’t load immediately.
I would recommend embedding a stream from a site like uStream or Justin.tv – you can also use highlights from similar games if you don’t want to find the stream. As long as they see something loading then they will just assume that the coverage is legitimate. People who watch football are used to seeing highlights so shouldn’t be an issue.

You should now have a site setup:

A simple header (rip a banner from another site); an introduction to the event and a fake video player with an embedded stream. You could go a step further by adding things like a Facebook share button – you might get lucky and go viral.

There are literally hundreds of sources of traffic, but here’s some that work well for me in the soccer market:

- Justin.tv (spam chat boxes)
- Ustream (spam chat boxes)
- Facebook fan pages
- Soccer forums (register the day before so you can post links)
- Twitter
- Other live streams (spam chat boxes)
- Related blogs (hopefully find auto approve comments)
- Buy an Xrumer blast on Fiverr with your link (do this the day before). Doesn’t matter if your domain gets sandboxed as you’ll only use it once

Most of these are very easy to post links on. I’d recommend hiring someone (pay them $20 for the evening or whatever) and get them to just spam your links everywhere. Don’t worry about getting banned – just post everywhere you can. If you have tools to automate the process – great! If not, it doesn’t matter. There is tons of traffic out there. My best day streaming was over $1000, but even if you don’t make much it’s still a good learning curve.

If you build up a good following from this, you can use it again and again for other events. Sports fans are sports fans – they want to watch everything. Don’t forget to try things like highlights as well – people are always looking for these and will be for months to come, especially if their team wins.

Good luck.

It is indeed, and meathead1234 is a great guy with good ideas, so I thought I'd share it here as few of the people here have read it. :)

These for really great information. It's really creative method. Can be hard trying to get success. This time around, it will be a challenge to lure people to shop. Many online shoppers will be looking for better deals, better offers and other sound benefits before making purchases.Out there in the Internet market space, many retailers persuade users and sell their products by offering convenient offers and affordable options.
