I’m a little embarrassed…I forgot the Daily Sizzle yesterday and it was for one of my buddies over at Sports Blog Earnings! So today we are making a special post about this site even though its time has come and gone from our Entrecard widget.
As you all are aware, we are in the business of marketing and monetizing sports blogs. This niche is completely new and there are essentially 3 players in the game: The Sports Dollar, Juiced Sports Blog, and now Sports Blog Earnings. We are barely into our 3rd month and have already seen some great things happen like the Job Board we just launched, a successful big time Entrecard contest, and our number of subscribers breaking 50! The money making-marketing-sports blog niche is really starting to look like something that other sports blogs want to be a part of.
With the entrance of Sports Blog Earnings, the sky really could be the limit. This site has been in the works behind the scenes for quite some time now and its official launch was within the last week. Its author, Dannie, also co-authors a couple of other very successful sports blogs in the Recliner GM and Hoops State of Mind that you should already be reading. Dannie really knows his marketing stuff and you should expect this new venture of his to be nothing less than amazing.
Sports Blog Earnings’ approach is to teach other sports blogs how to market and monetize their blogs but with a trial and error/example approach. Dannie has been writing and writing and writing just to make sure he had plenty of solid content for his big launch date and you can tell from his first few posts that his ideas are the real deal. For now, he’s working one post per week but as his blog begins to grow and he sees the potential we have seen, I’m sure that post count will skyrocket.
You could call us competitors, but really, we have a great relationship and have already bounced a ton of ideas off of each other. When Dannie told me that Sports Blog Earnings was finally set for take off, no one was more excited than me. We’re glad to have you!

wow - that was much more than I expected for my Daily Sizzle debut. Thanks. I am really going to try and pump out some good sport marketing & blogging content and hope it catches fire.
So far the sports blogger pack is picking up some steam now.
Hey Kellex, nice work on getting the RSS reader up over 50.
I used to have 195 readers and thr bottom fell out and now it is picking up again. Fickle folk.
