So, you’re passionate about FM2010 and Football Manager Live. You eat, sleep and drink tactics. You obsess on how to master strategy and conquer your competitors. (Sound familiar?) Even while dreaming, you review FM-Britain’s lessons to fine tune your own performance.

Did you know that you can share your FM experience also?

If you know your stuff and can help others, you can definitely build an audience who will be eager to listen to you! Sharing your knowledge with the world on the internet, you will draw other gamers who want to know what you know.

It isn’t that hard as you think. If Football Manager is your passion, then do it!

What are the benefits of starting your own blog?

You might have a “gang” in school where you share your experience on Football Manager, but what if you, instead of share it locally, you could share it globally? You could get lots of great responses from people who play Football Manager, telling you that what you provide works. They could give you modifications and create a community to discuss the game. So it will not only improve other’s games with your knowledge and experience. It will also improve yours.

Don’t you think it feels amazing when you’re sharing something with your friends and it actually works for them? You really feel like you have helped someone. It is the same thing here, you can share the exact same stuff, but more people will benefit from it. You will be categorized as an “expert” in Football Manager, with good responses in comments and forums. You would be the FM go-to guy!

Now, I play Football Manager and I just completed the first season (amazing result, tweet me for more information). I read Tactical Theorems ‘10 - without that guide, I would have struggled building tactics, I wouldn’t be able to win as many matches as I do now. Don’t you feel thankful like I did after reading Tactical Theorems ’10? They have offered so much time, just to build you this. It costs your name and your email, and that’s it. This book could easily cost money, but they were generous.

It would be awesome for people to think the same thing about you. They could get a feeling like this: “Wow, this guy really helps me out, he is so cool!” - just the thought of someone thinking that is definitely awesome.

The benefits of creating a blog about Football Manager:

• 1. To share you passion and knowledge.
• 2. To discuss the game with others.
• 3. Get known as a resource for the game.

You just need to take action. Haven’t you seen all these crappy fansites? In Denmark, they are nothing but shit, to be honest. They provide absolutely no value at all, when we’re considering the content they produce.

This would be where a blog is much more valuable than a fansite. When you have a blog, you can focus 100% on writing absolutely amazing articles for your readers to consume. You can see their responses in comments - what do they think about your post? Did your tactic work?

You actually just need to provide value. In my holy opinion, FM-Britain is one of the websites that provide the most value in the FM community of what I know. Yeah, without a doubt their content is good, but you can, if you really want to… beat their content. You really just need to take the time to write an article for your blog which gives people immense value.

The mathematical formula for getting known as an resource in the FM community:

Quality Content (both on blog and on a forum comments) = Resource.

Okay, we both know it isn’t that simple. Have you seen posts on FM-Britain which isn’t written by one of the founders? They have contributed on FM-Britain and provides value to that community, they can have their own blog.

You may think: “Why do they want to contribute on other sites when they have their own blog?” Simply put, they provide value to you through another community, but this site then sends traffic to the contributor’s blog, so you get to know them as well!

But mainly when you are building a FM blog you should focus on providing good content, which can be used by others. If you do not know what quality content is, then just look at this entire blog, take a look at mine. Just promise me that you will provide better content than all those crappy fan sites!
