Building Relationships
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 10:22 am
I have spent a long time involved in semi pro football, and I would like to start one of those "freebee" news papers you see at the door as you walk into restaurants. I'm looking for writers from all across the US, that might be interested in contributing. I don't believe that this will be a money maker, I see it more as hobby and as member of the "semi pro football society", I think it would help build some recognition for the really good programs out there. In doing my reseach, I would have to know how many people were interested in contributing and from where, so that I know what I'm working with before I put money into the whole project.
As far as the contributing writers, it would be very easy to participate. I know and understand these teams from all over the US pretty well, so they wouldn't really have to do any research. I would be able to say "I would like an article about this subject from that team or player or person, and I would even schedule the interview. I wouldn't be asking anyone to follow these teams, although there are many great stories among semi pro athletes. The "little sports news paper" would only have a minimum of article and nores and only begin printing monthly, unless advertising money allowed for it to grow.
Article of interest to me are, ameteur players that go pro, or big sponsership deals, and articles about historic teams. (There are actually a couple of teams in exsitance now, that were part of the NFL when it first started in 1920) Semi pro football has many interesting story lines and I would like to show that to these communities. There are doctors, lawyers, business owners and such that participate in semi pro football all across the country and nobody even knows about it. Anyway if anyone thinks this might be possible, let me know. And let me know how to get this information out to the writers if it's allowed.
