I'm in the process of building a huge site using GodfatherBomb. I may try to sell this site. In the meantime, I'll try to use it as an example of what you can do.

Domain:
www.ProFootballUpdates.com

This is a site about NFL football. However, the NFL is very strict about protecting its license, so I didn't want to use "NFL" in my domain name.

It's a chore, but when I'm done, I'll have 33 "self writing" newsletters, one for each of 32 teams, as well as one for the NFL in general.

I'm using RSS content from Digg for each team, plus eBay affiliate pheeds. I wanted to use Amazon, but it seems Bo's Zon script has stopped working.

I'm also putting Adsense on this site, but didn't check before picking this niche, which was a minor mistake. Seems there aren't many ads for NFL stuff. I'm guessing due to the NFL's stict protection of their trademark?

This is one reason I may put the site up for sale. It may make more money for a non US person that can add some online sportsbook type ads.

Depsite the drawbacks, this niche has fanatical fans, that should be easy to reach via all the sports forums, etc.

I chose Digg because their TOS says their descriptions are public domain. There's plenty of other RSS content available, but any next owner can deal with that.

Since the season is starting, I'll have all 33 team newsletters update daily. But Dig doesn't have all that much content, so I will only add maybe 3-5 news items per team. In the offseason, each list should probably be sent weekly.

The goal with this site is really for the owner to spend time and resources marketing the site and getting subscribers, instead of builiding content.

And just 30 subscribers per team is more than 1000 over-all, and that should be easy for anyone putting in the effort.

Godfather will allow the owner to send a message to ALL subscribers for all lists, but won't send any subscribers more than one email. This makes it great to broadcast "breaking news", with an ad included.

Godfather isn't a fast and easy shortcut. It will take me time to set everything up. I estimate 40+ hours. However, once set up, I'll be "writing" 33 emails per day, on autopilot.

It also isn't totally "autopilot", as the more html pages are built, the more links are made, and the links can get a little "unruly" after a while. This is best maintained by hand.

There are also some SEO limitations to Godfather...If SEO is to be part of your marketing plan, you may want to download pages from time to time and run them through Tuelz to help improve the SEO.

Again, it takes some set up and I don't think you should start out with a project this big. But this shows you what is possible.
