About Me

Matthew CerroneI'm Matthew Cerrone, I've been part of the new sports media since 2003, and if you've ever asked yourself…

How do I create a successful sports blog?
How can I drive traffic and get people to read my work?
How do I connect with sports fans?
How do I break in to sports media?

…you're in the right place!

In 2003, I started MetsBlog.com, which I grew to 3 million page views per month. In 2007, I partnered with SportsNet NY, who later hired me to be their Director of Digital Media. I have been interviewed by the New York Times and ESPN Radio; I've been a speaker at conferences and Universities; I've been a paid consultant, helping brands and athletes better connect with sports fans; and here, on this site, I want to help you.

Instead of reading a generic social media site that has nothing to do with sports content, please follow my videos on YouTube, listen to my podcast and subscribe to my weekly newsletter - all about sports media - with advice on what works, what doesn't and what's next.

"Matt has been able to perfectly toe the line between fan and media. For as long as I can remember, he's been ahead of the curve using new forms of media, and he's been generous with his time and expertise when I've sought advice."

Keys To Blogging

Tell Your Story, Be Authentic

Your writing should be a direct reflection of who you are. Fans should feel they know you personally by reading your work.

Have a Unique Niche & Voice

Solve a problem for fans in a new way. Be unique. Don’t replicate what others are doing. Stake your claim.

Get to the Point

Make your content scannable. Say what you want to say immediately. Don’t waste your readers time.

Adapt, Innovate & Evolve

It's OK to change. Don’t marry yourself to one style. The Internet changes everyday, so can you.

Use Your Skills

Be inspired by your personal and professional experiences. These skills can be the foundation of a unique voice.

Be Patient

It can take years to build a loyal audience and find your true voice. Overnight success is very rare.

"When I first assembled digital influencers and content creators for the first-of-its-kind sports and new media gathering, I personally sought out Matthew Cerrone's participation. Matthew not only knows how to create high-quality, community-engaging content, but he knows how to navigate the ever-changing digital landscape to grown both its, and his own, network and influence."
