Fantasy sports are a game where participants build imaginary teams. The teams are made up of real-life players. You compete based on the statistical performance of the players you’ve selected. So, if you pick Cam Newton, and he scores a touchdown, your fantasy team earns points.

How mainstream media and social media created fantasy hype

Fantasy sports were growing in popularity before social media was a thing. When the Rotisserie system (still the most popular scoring system today), was invented by a group of journalists & covered during a big baseball strike, fantasy sports got major media attention. Fantasy exploded and mainstream media was conditioned to cover fantasy sports starting in the 80s. By the time the Internet came around in the 90s, people started moving from pen and paper to online games. This led to an even more massive increase in fantasy sports popularity. From 500k people in 1988 to a whopping 15.2 million in 2003. Why? Because people could place bets online.

What about TV viewership?

To nobody’s surprise, 65% of fantasy games participants watch more televised sports because they’re participating in fantasy leagues. 61% read more about those sports (online, on social media, blogs, on ESPN, etc.).

And what did social media and fantasy sports?

So in early 2003, we’ve got over 15 million people playing fantasy sports online. The following year, Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook. In 2006, Twitter is born.

Now, sports fans have multiple platforms where they can share with other sports fans and fantasy players. They can update each other. Talk strategy. Poke fun. Whatever suits their fancy. The point is — they can share. Social media makes fantasy sports a global, connected community.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
