Rev Share Faq

Building a loyal following on your blog isn't going to be easy.  It's going to take some time.  And while our network of sports sites does get substantial traffic and you will benefit from that traffic, in order to turn your blog into something that makes $100, $200, $1,000 or even $5,000 per month it is going to take a lot of work on your part.  It's not going to be easy.  But hopefully it'll be fun.

Make each blog post as interesting as possible. This may sound like common sense, but always keep it in mind. The more interesting your blog is the more people will read it. Quality is much more important than quantity. No one will read through a hundred blog posts (or even 10) to find one interesting one. But if each post is interesting people will be coming back week after week to read what you have to say.

When you write a blog post on one of our sports sites your post will appear on your blog page. In addition, the title, your name, and a snippet of your post will appear on the home page of the appropriate team site, giving your post instant exposure. Our system looks for certain keywords like the city name and team name in the "Keywords / tags" section so make sure you use this to accurately define your blog post.  For instance, if you write a blog post about the Yankees, make sure in the "Keywords" box you put "New York Yankees" (without the quotes) so that our system knows what the post is about and can map the post to the home page at http://www.newyorkyankeesnews.com.  You do NOT have to be a member of the Yankees website to have your post show up there.

First, you create an account on our network of sports sites. Click here and choose your favorite team.

Don't worry too much about which team is your favorite. Just pick a team and join that site. You only need to join one site - once you've joined one, you've actually joined all of the sites in our network, too. So create only one account. You can then join the other sites by adding those "communities" to your profile. Once you've logged in look for the "Join other sports communities sites" link in the welcome message (upper left hand corner once you've logged in).  But keep in mind, you don't have to join any communities at all even if you want to write about that team - our system will find your blog posting and put it in the right spot. Joining the other communities is just an option and will simply let you interact with other fans of that team and appear on that team's home page.
