Advice needed for new blog

    Hi guys.

    In the past I've started 2 blogs and after a month or 2 I gave up as things didn't really go too well with them, I think I made $3 combined in them 2 months.

    I've now decided to give it another go and would require some advice from you pros.

    I've invested quite a bit into the blog this time round:
    .com domain
    hosting
    wordpress based
    Thesis theme framework
    new mobile responsive thesis skin - effectus

    The topic is football - news and general football. I've still got a lot of work to do getting the site ready - logo, general setup etc which I will get done over the next week or 2.

    What would you guys recommend me do to really get this site going and making good revenue? I'm willing to invest money and time and really want to make a go of it this time round.

    Shez

    To monetize a sports site its very hard. If you think to earn via adsense, forget it.
    You can monetize it with beting affiliates that it will be hard!
    But, if you have good idea go ahead.

    P.s dont give up in the first six months.

    Is it a subject you're passionate about, do you have info on football that no-one else can find anywhere else, do you know anything about the subject that would make people want to read your "blog" or are you just doing it because you think you'll earn from it?
    If it's the latter then you will fail every time.
