LSU Football Freak Profit Statement lol
May 17th, 2008 by gtull1
It’s time for the LSU Football Freak profit statement. Let’s talk about what is done with the profits for this site, how money is made on it, what we spend on this site, and what is ahead in the future for this site.
Since its inception, at the end of the 2007 LSU football season, this site has made a whopping $43.51, Whoo hooo!!! lol
Every cent made on this site goes to Alec. he is saving it to buy LSU football tickets, shirts, and fan collectibles. Alec’s goal is to have $200 ready for the start of the 2008 football season. I told him he better start writing a lot more! lol
This web site makes money with Google’s adsense ads. Every page has a few ads imbedded in it that are relevant to the content of the page. Google handles these ads (they find advertisers, collect the money from them, and give us our cut). We just write a few things about LSU, place their codes in the page, and Google’s adsense takes care of the rest. When visitors to our site visit some of the advertiser’s pages, we get a few pennies from it. The pennies add up over time. 4,351 pennies collected so far. lol
Alec had me help him create this LSU fan site. I mainly used the programs that i already had, but I have spent a little for other goodies. I had this theme created for Alec. It was a package deal, but I scrapped the other design. So the design cost around $70 or so. I have probably spent about $20 in other types of search engine marketing for it. Then we have also spent at least 200 hours working on this web site. At least! Good thing we love LSU!!
The next big deal for the LSU Football Freak site is the forums. We have finished the design, and we just need to get a lot of content in it. Hopefully a bunch of Tiger fans will follow suit. We’ll see.
That’s the profit report folks. If this has put you to sleep, go read about Walter Gropius if you really want to sleep! Well, it is kind of a neat story. It turns out that today would have been the 125th birthday of the man that basically created modern architecture way back in the 1930’s. Boring to most of you, but kind of neat to a few of us design nerds.
GEAUX TIGERS!!
