I own a lot of sports sites and trying to find private advertisers is nearly impossible. So, often times you’re left with the usually Google Adsense of CPM company.

However, lately I’ve been talking about the great successes I’ve had with Football Fanatics. They pay 10% commission on all sales you make. I’ve done $475+ in sales this month and football season is just now starting. I expect sales to increase gradually over the next few months.

In addition to Football Fanatics, another great affiliate program you can use for all your sports sites is StubHub. StubHub is a ticket broker and with them you will earn 8% on all the tickets you sell. They have tickets for every single sporting event, so no matter what your website is about, it will work for you. I’ve already done 2 orders from Gator Envy and I just added the affiliate links this month.

Never rely on “the usual” monetizing methods when you’re running a sports site. Merchandise and ticket sales can bring in a lot of money.
