First off, I apologize if this shouldn't be posted here, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. Feel free to move it if you think it deserves to be moved.
I do think that it serves the shark pool though.
I have built a website that is sort of a Facebook for bloggers. No, I'm not hawking my website here. There won't be any mention of the domain name.
What I'm looking for is at least 32 sharks that feel like they know their favorite NFL team well enough to blog about it. I'm also looking for a few guys to blog about fantasy football and fantasy baseball and baseball teams and pretty much everything else under the sun. The main purpose of this post is trying to find at least one blogger for each NFL team though.
The theory is that if you get a blog following, in a social networking environment, part of that following will look at other blogs in topics that they are interested in on the site. Your traffic will increase another blog's traffic and visa versa. You get a free blog where you can upload pictures, videos, files, etc... and you can link to those things in posts on other sites. For instance, you can take a picture of your team's training camp on your iphone and upload it to your blog and link to that on FBG if you want. As long as you have a decent blog and aren't out to just rob me of server resources, I don't mind. Currently there is no limit on what you upload as long as it's legal (Note you must own the rights to what you are uploading and keep it clean). You'll also get some tools to connect your blogs to Twitter, Facebook etc...
What I get is to put relevant ads in your blog which won't make me enough money to pay my server costs, (Facebook ads convert at 0.04%. I think that I can do better, but still not enough to make money.), but as I gain members on the site, I do believe that I'll have another ad platform that will convert at enough to make me a profit. This is a risk and something that might break me, but even if I fail, I think somebody will follow behind me and make it work. The ads will be highly targeted. If you blog about the Giants, you'll be in the Giants group, which is a subgroup of the NFL group, which is a subgroup of the sports group. The ads on your site are more likely hawking Giants tickets and Giants Jerseys, than hawking Gucci handbags.
Once I am making money, I do have a plan to where the best bloggers on the site will also make money. Don't count on this happening though. If the fact that you're getting a free blogging platform that doesn't limit you on your uploads doesn't entice you, don't sign on to be a blogger. I'm not even certain that I can make money, I'm certainly not sure that I'll get to the point that I can pay bloggers.
So if any of this appeals to you, post here and I'll respond. If the site does take off, the initial bloggers will have a head start on the ones that follow them.
Ask any questions and throw out any comments.
I'm now taking odds on whether someone thinks this is a WDIS thread and moves it to the assistant coaches forum.
If you'd like to blog about something other than football, post here as well. I'm looking for almost every topic one can think of, but it may take me a while to set you up with a blog as I'll set the bloggers for the NFL group first.
