Stay on top of current and important events
No matter what sport you choose to write about, you should always stay up to date on current and important events. For example, when blogging about football, discuss the Euro 2020 odds, player news and any hot gossip on and off the field. When blogging, include news, football tips, information and stats. People love reading about varying things so make sure you change up what you feature on your blog for variation.
Invest in a web designer
As well as having great content on your blog, you should ensure that it is user-friendly and easy for your audience to find what they are looking for. All too often, it becomes very difficult for people to enjoy reading a blog as it is too packed with information and has poor navigation amenities. With this, we recommend investing in a web designer to design your blog for you and help you work out what it is you want to gain out of it.
Share on social media
Lastly, to ensure your blog is getting the attention it deserves, you should be sharing it on multiple social media platforms. This is a fantastic way to get people to click on your blog and engage with your posts. There is a whole other world of social media marketing out there that you should familiarise yourself with before getting started.

Some great advice here but from my point of view, as a sports blogger, the key is creating good content. All the design and promotion in the world is no good if the content is not top notch. Investing in good and reliable writers is key IMO!
