I'm thinking of a new project to do after all my school work... I thought about making a blog. I want to create an NBA news/rumors/feature articles blog. I know Bleacher Report, ESPN, and Yahoo are impossible to surpass. But is this idea worth giving a shot? I need some thoughts from the experts here. I'm an avid NBA fan, and I've been attached to basketball since I was a kid. I learned that the best way to earn money is loving what you do. I think monetizing with an NBA blog is the perfect job for me because I love what I'll be doing. Content is not gonna be a problem because I'm a writer myself. What do you guys think?
I say go for it. Just be prepared to learn how to market the hell out of your blog to build buzz around it. Try to differentiate your blog from the top competitors in someway. Give yourself a unique advantage/ unique selling point that will make you stand out and give you leverage in your niche. Good luck!
I also say go for it The Nix... It's always good to start a site that you're passionate about from the get-go. Most people start sites because they want to make money, even if they have no interest in it and that's how they get burnt out so quickly and often fail. Stick with adding good quality content and monetize it later if you want to make a few bucks while doing what you love. BTW, Go Minnesota Timberwolves.
If you're truly passionate about the NBA, then it might be a good idea. Fresh, original content is key.
Yeah , why not ..NBA Blogs can be profitable since the vistors targetted will be from US and most of add networks pay high for US Visitors...
