The Story of a Sports Blogger Who gets over 400K Visits a Month

by Srinivas Rao

Many of you have been asking us to start bringing in guests from other niches. Mitch contacted me recently and when I saw what he was up to, I knew he’d be a really interesting guest to have on the show. After all, the guy makes a living by watching sports all day. It sounds like an American Dream to me:

How his site gets over 400,000 visits a month
The Importance of Examining What You Are Doing and questioning whether you are happy
Why Everybody is an Expert at Something
The Progression of blogs that eventually resulted in SportsChatPlace
How He’s grown His Traffic So much that an Ad Agency Manages all his Advertising Efforts
The Importance of Good Design
How To Start Doing Video Effectively and How Video Enables You Build a Personal Relationship with Your Audience
How he recruits writers to help him run his blog
The Key to Finding Good Writers for Your Blog
Why Page Views Play A Critical Component
Why Alexa Ranking is Meaningless
How he went 1.5 years without making a dime and got contacted by a large ad agency

Mitch is an avid football fan who happens to also posses the memory of an elephant and a winning strategy that works across all sports. He’s also been known to talk a good game but also has always been known as one not afraid to put his money where his mouth is. If you’re a sports fan, check out his site at Sportschatplace.
