Hello Dearest Mentors,

I really need your advice on this. I want to start a Football blog site targeting people from my local areas and possibly my country (Nigeria). I'm planning on using the wordpress platform and Magazine 3's Theme. My questions are: How do I get to update my blog and fill it with good and interesting football News without plagiarizing other popular websites or is it possible for me recycling News from other sites with little or no copyright issues. Secondly, what do you think is the best traffic generation strategy? Social Media Marketing, Paid Adverts or I stick to our good old friend (google). Thirdly, Along the line I would love to build an App for mobile users, How can I go about this and how much do you think I can build a standard App. Lastly! What do you think is the best monetization method for this Niche

Thanks

    First advise will be - Do it for fun. Just for fun and money will follow.

    Select your favorite team and do a good research about the team, players , game strategies they might be good at.

    Follow their games, analyze and make points on what you think are relevant - just from a fan's perspective - dont worry about them being wrong. Fans are not always right.

    Best way to begin marketing it is by sharing it with your friends on facebook and twitter. Just put up a link on the social networking page of your team.

    These are some tips that I think will help you get started.

    Go through other sites but avoid using their content in your site.. Write Your Own Content Bro.. ! Also if you plan to make it you main income only through the site, i do not thing its a vice idea.. Do it as a fun loving job while doing something else as the main income.. With time you will be able to get traffic.. (use adsense slots and/or affiliate products here and their on your site.. - Read the adsense guideline too before putting those ad slots.. )

    Go to News.Google.com, type in keywords like "football", sort results by Date to keep your news up-to-the-minute, and write brief summaries of news that you think would interest your readers. And, of course, link to your sources. Essentially, you will be doing Curation and you can become an authority in your niche.

    First, let your passion guide you to write content and manage your blog. In addition, you should choose one thing that makes your blog/site totally different from other sites. For traffic generation, let your quality writings lead people to your site

    I have driven a lot of traffic using Youtube in this niche in the past.

    If there are players linked with transfers, put some videos up of them in action on Youtube - People will be searching for them.

    Also put some popular goals up.

    Most football news is the same from site to site, but obviously you don't want to plagiarise their stories word for word. Using the same subject matter is fine.

    As fellow country man, i would like to tell you that you can get your blog update by staying tune to sport news stations like super sport in DSTV always, once you are with latest news, you just need to write it out in your own words in which you must include humor in your write up to make it interesting

    Traffic tactics i think you can employ in order to get lots of visitors to you website is to start marketing among you friends be it on facebook friends or close associates offline. And for the paid tactics, i would advice you to place your advert in complete sport newspaper, with these you will need to attach something valuable as incentive in order to generated visitors to your side and made the site bookmark friendly on you site
