How would you monetize this site?
I built a website about a local sports personality that a lot of people don't like. It's called www.Fire(insertname).com
It has gathered some recent local media attention (when mentioned on a radio show, it got around 12,000 hits within and hour!) and suddenly I am getting emails from the likes of:
The Seattle Times
The Tampa Tribune
An NFL.com Representative
CBSSportsline.com
and
(believe it or not) a Local Furniture Chain
I only sell T-shirts on the site, but in the next few days the traffic should begin to literally skyrocket.
So my question is, how could I monetize the site without making it look like that's why I created it. I actually created it to "warn" the community about this guy. I added the T-shirts later.
I don't want to look like someone who is just trying to make a quick buck...although that's what I want to do. LOL :p
Hopefully I don't run into any legal issues! Everything on the site is public record and non-opinionated.
