This Is How You Start A Sports Blog
5 min read
Introduction
Hey, there! You’re probably reading this because you have an idea for a sports blog. If you don’t already have one, I’m guessing that’s what made you read this post in the first place. And if that’s not the case, then maybe you’re just looking to learn more about starting a blog or internet business in general. In either case, we need to talk. I’ve got some tips for beginners who want to start their own sports blog on how to make it happen—and make money doing so.
1. Pick A Topic
The first step to starting a sports blog is to pick a topic you are passionate about. This will ensure that you will be able to write about it for years, and not get bored with it.
You should also make sure that the topic is relevant to your target audience, so they can relate and find value in what you have written. You do not want them leaving because they were not interested in reading about what happened last night’s game between two teams they never heard of!
The third thing we need from our chosen sport(s) is uniqueness; otherwise there will already be too many blogs covering these sports already! Think outside the box here – maybe choose something like badminton or curling instead? It doesn’t matter as long as no one else is doing it yet (and preferably when there aren’t any other websites dedicated solely towards those specific interests).
2. Choose Your Platform
Choosing a platform is the first step in starting a sports blog. If you don’t do this right, it could be the last step in starting your sports blog!
You need to choose a platform that is right for your audience, budget and skill level. It’s also important that you choose one that fits with who YOU are as an individual or team.
3. Create Content That People Want To Read
- Create Content That People Want To Read
The most important thing you can do is create high-quality content that people actually want to read, so they’ll keep coming back for more. Here are some tips:
- Use a catchy headline – A good rule of thumb is to just ask yourself “what’s the first thing I would Google?” or “what would make me click on this link?” You want your headlines to be short and sweet, but also make it clear what you’re offering as soon as possible (e.g., “How To Lose 10 Pounds In 2 Weeks” vs “Lose Weight Fast”).
- Write in a conversational tone – Don’t write like you’re writing an essay for school! Instead think about how you talk with friends or family members over dinner–that kind of casual tone will help readers feel more comfortable reading through the rest of your blog post without feeling intimidated by its lengthiness (or lack thereof). Also remember not everything should sound like an academic paper; humor works too! Sometimes adding some personality into our writing helps readers relate more closely with us as people rather than just another blogger posting articles online.”
4. Promote Your Blog And Get Traffic
- Promote Your Blog And Get Traffic
Once you’ve created a blog, it’s time to promote it. You need to get traffic to your site so that people can read your content and share it with others who might be interested in what you have to say. There are many ways to do this, but here are some of our favorites:
- Use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter as well as other avenues such as Reddit or Google+ Communities if there’s one related specifically to sports (for example: https://plus.google/communities/109520188908245903118/) where there is already an audience interested in the topic of sports journalism;
- Use tools like SumoMe (https://sumome.com/) which has lots of different plugins that help grow an audience for free; * Get a good domain name because this will make people more likely come back again when they hear about what else is going on at this site; * Make sure there are enough ads popping up from companies willing pay money per click because otherwise no one will ever see how great these articles really are!
If you follow these steps, you should be able to start a sports blog that people will want to read.
In order to start a sports blog that people will want to read, you need to pick a topic. It’s not enough just to write about sports. You have to have something unique and interesting that no one else has thought of before. For example, if you write about basketball but only as it relates directly back into your life experiences as an athlete or coach at school then nobody will care what you have written because it doesn’t apply universally across all other sports fans out there who might read your content!
The next thing is choosing a platform where people can find out more information about your blog whenever they want too (and hopefully share those links with their friends). This could be Facebook, Twitter or even Instagram but whatever way works best for each individual writer should always be considered first before committing fully into any one platform alone – especially when starting out with little-to-no followers yet still wanting exposure outside their own personal circle where everything starts from scratch every single time again without fail!
Finally comes creating quality posts regularly instead being lazy all day long without doing anything productive whatsoever except maybe watching Netflix shows all day long every single day without fail too…
Conclusion
Hopefully, this guide has helped you understand the basics of how to start a sports blog. It’s not easy and there are many things that can go wrong, but if you follow these steps then it will make your life so much easier! Good luck!
