How to Start a Sports Tipster Website

Turning your sports knowledge into a subscription business is easier than ever.

1. Choose your niche & angle

The tipsters who win are specific — pick a lane where you have a real edge.

2. Set up your WordPress stack

WordPress hosting, the PickViz plugin, and the Vault theme. The theme ships a one-click demo import.

3. Connect the automated sports API

Add a live-score API key and PickViz will automatically settle every pending pick.

4. Gate picks & connect payments

Every pick gets a visibility setting: Free, Pro, or package-specific.

5. Build trust with verified tracking

Your public record page is your best salesperson.

6. Post, promote & grow

Post consistently, share free picks on social, and scale into a full marketplace.
