Make Money Writing About the 2009 Champions League Final

May 27th saw the final of the Champions League, the biggest tournament in world club soccer. The game was an anti climax, but you can still make money writing about it, and here's how...

Well, when you write your opinions about the match (and more about that in a moment), if people read your views and like what they see, they are likely to click on a link that you can put at the bottom of the article.

That link will then send them to a site that you monetize, and options are...

It could be a site that sells replica shirts, or game ticket packages, and you get paid a commission on any sales.
Maybe it's a memorabilia site.

In any case, you know that the people you send are interested in the subject, i.e. soccer, because otherwise they surely would not have read your article in the first place!

So what to write about..?

Well there are a few angles to come from.

You could talk about how the expectation of a great match was deflated by the fact that one of the teams Manchester United, just didn't play well, making for a fairly routine victory for Barcelona.

Or you could talk about the difference in corporate style - Manchester United are owned by Americans, Barcelona are owned by the fans who buy shares.

United have a £50 million shirt sponsorship deal, whereas Barcelona give their shirt space free to Unicef

So you can see that despite the game being a bit of a disappointment, you can make money by writing about it.
