TheGoodPoint.com, launched in September 2008, is an independent website operated with the professional sports fan in mind. In an attempt to stand out from the rest of the online media pack, The Good Point strives to marry the traditional conventions of journalistic feature writing with the passion that drives the professional sports world.
The consumer that this publication targets is the online sports fan willing to seek out unique and original reading material. Gone are the days when people waited anxiously by their mailboxes waiting for the latest issue of Sports Illustrated or ESPN The Magazine, as such TheGoodPoint.com has happily stepped in to fill that void. With this 21st century influx of up-to-the-minute updates and live blogging, The Good Point stands out, offering instead, a combination of the editorial meat traditionally found in magazine feature articles and the convenience of the internet.
Think about it this way, instead of getting all your content in print form once a month, The Good Point publishes between four and five feature stories per week. What sets this site apart from the infinite other sports publications on the internet then, is the editorial direction that goes on behind the scenes. The Good Point's core staff is assembled from some of the best up-and-coming sports journalists in the country, all of whom have seen their work published in print.
In addition to being featured on Yahoo!, Sports Illustrated and ESPN, The Good Point reaches a significant number of RSS subscribers who loyally visit daily. Between referral traffic and returning readers, the growing number of unique visitors that reach the site each month provide an excellent alternative to print or less-specific online audiences.
Primarily focused in North America but reaching as far as Australia and the Philippines, The Good Point's demographic consists of loyal and technologically-savvy sports fans who spend considerable time with mainstream publications and new media. Additionally, The Good Point's presence in the social networking community is substantial with growing fanbases on both Twitter and Facebook.
TheGoodPoint.com has a number of customizable advertising packages starting as low as $50 USD and can adapt to meet the needs of any interested advertising parties. In-house ad design is available if necessary.
