   During July and August I send out a weekly email newsletter highlighting NFL offensive player news. This email goes out to our opt-in free content subscribers to develop a relationship that will lead them to our paid subscription service. I hire freelance writers to write content on player outlook and post them to the site as free content during this period of time. The newsletter also references those free articles to bring traffic to the site.

   The weekly email newsletter is a summary of blog postings from the site of NFL news updates and our take on that news. This requires staying up to date on the NFL news and making the posts and takes several hours a week.

   During the NFL pre-season our paid subscribers have access to an online tool that helps them prepare custom draft guides to help them with their fantasy football drafts. The data behind the tool is updated weekly to reflect our projections of offensive player stats. This process takes 2 or 3 hours a week to update.

   From September to December we post content to our paid subscriber area. I utilize freelance writers to help me with the content and I focus on the weekly projections for offensive players. The in season content usually takes me 3 or 4 hours a week to manage.

   The traffic has been posted as a file attachment above-right.

   The advertising revenue has been about $100 per month and the subscriber revenue comes in almost entirely in late July and throughout August. This is the time frame when fantasy players are preparing for their season and make these types of purchases.

   I received a good question through PM inquiring as to why the stats reflected in the attachment above do not seem to agree with those reported by Alexa, Compete, and Quantcast rankings. Here's the answer for others who may be interested.

   MonsterDraft's traffic statistics through December 31, 2008 have been assigned for public reporting purposes to a network that MonsterDraft.com is a member of. That network markets to advertisers and uses the combined network traffic to attract more lucrative advertising contracts. Due to this arrangement, site statistics reported by 3rd parties are likely inaccurate.

   For access to the site statistics through AwStats maintained on our host's servers you can go to http://monsterdraft.com/stats/stats.php.

   The agreement with the network will be subject to re-negotiation December 31, 2008 and may or may not be renewed based on mutual agreement between the site owner and the network owner.

   I am selling the site because I want to focus my attention on a couple of other ventures I have going. I really enjoy running the site, but don't have the time to do what I think needs to be done to take it to the next level.
