If you plan on doing a sports news website you would be wise to affiliate yourself with affiliates that sell products such as baseball caps, sports memorabilia, etc. Also you may link yourself with different websites that promote sporting news.
Check also to affiliate with sports magazines as you never know who may purchase a subscription on line. Also check to see if you may find affiliate programs that sell airline tickets, tickets for sporting events, etc.
Probably the most important is to plan ahead what your theme of your website is as well as to get your keywords right. Try a subscription to Wordtracker, I feel this is the best for researching
keywords.

Honestly, unless you're targeting a really specific niche or have somehow managed to "reinvent the wheel" in some way I'd probably suggest that you don't waste your time. There are a number of multi billion dollar companies that have already staked out this space, and competing with them is an uphill battle. Not that they do a great job--but they've got economies of scale and marketing resources that you can't hope to match. Now, if you *have* targeted a unique niche or otherwise offer something that the "big boys" aren't repost your question, finish your thought this time and I'll give you whatever advice I can

I just love how you entice the potential reader with the possibility of a reward and then abruptly end your sentence without finishing it. If you want advice for your website I would say that that is a terrible idea. If I was looking at your website and became enticed only to realize that what is being written about, offered etc. was incomplete I would certainly not return.

"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.
Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:
1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.
2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!
Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Webs...

CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/...
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs...
3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.
Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCU...
6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.
7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com/
Google Base http://base.google.com/
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/...
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
