Nate Latsch Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 >Nice job on the site. Just a quick question. How often are >you going to update the site? Obviously you are only going >to report when there is news but does scout.com have any >guidelines saying you have to update? There are some guidelines in place about how much content I'm supposed to provide on a weekly basis — which can also include photos, interviews or videos in addition to stories. That said, I am going to try to update the site as often as I can. That could mean daily, or twice a day, or every other day. Right now, there's a lot of information out there that people don't know about. I'm trying to track down that info and also catch up with what has been going on since Majerus took over. There's not much money to be made from the site for a while, so I'm doing a lot of work to try to build up the site. I'll need to get a couple hundred subscribers before I see much financial return. Right now, I think the site has less than five subscribers. For several years the site was just there and didn't have anyone generating original content for it. All the stories on there would come from other sites that just happened to mention SLU. I'm trying to build this thing, and I'm going to work very hard to do so. Like I mentioned before, when people subscribe to the site I'm going to do everything I can to make that expense worthwhile to them. - Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's not true. I saw a need for this kind of site, so I decided to pursue the idea. It will be a long time before I make any decent money off the site. - Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleacherBum593 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Congrats Nate - Hopefully the basketball side at Scout works better than the baseball side (behind the scenes). Will you be covering other sports, besides mens basketball, ie women's basketball, soccer on the your site? BB593 PS - the subscription's at Scout cover the entire site. Beware that if you bought just for the info at 1 site and that site folds, your out of luck getting your money back. Secondly, if you want the premuim message board for the Billiken Report, you MUST start your subscription at that site. For example, if you had bought your subscription thru the Cardinal site, you wouldn't be able to access the premium message board for the Billiken Report site or any other board. Just a heads up from experience with that site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleacherBum593 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Good. Hope that you are able to generate coverage of all the sports on campus. Hopefully, one day you'll be able to do a SLU Sports mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
