Time Required:    Part Time 8-10 hrs/wk; Full-time 30-40+ hrs/week

Training: Of course, your sports blogging site will be enhanced with any training you have in your area of expertise as you write your blog. If you have had experience in the playing and/or coaching sports, this will come in very handy to share your personal expertise. 

Or maybe you’ve just studied the sport or your team over the years and have a wealth of knowledge in your head you can share with your fellow sportsmen (and women!)

If you need to brush up on your writing skills, head to your local community college or university for a journal writing class to get some practical hands-on writing assignments. 

If you don’t have a lot of practical experience using word processing types of software, the internet, or photography skill, you may want to also consider classes that will help you strengthen these skills also.
