Each week, EPL Talk provides you with an average of 18 articles to read on the blog, one 45-60 minute podcast, an email newsletter, an average of six matches on the EPL Talk Chat plus the blogs and messages written by you, the readers, on the Community. And all of that is on a quiet week!
Plus, that's only a sliver of the time that's put into the site by you and me. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes such as public relations, web design, marketing, pursuing advertisers, link exchange, mailing prizes, research, and more.
The goal of EPL Talk Buzz is to give you complete transparency into seeing and understanding what it's like to run EPL Talk. Feel free to ask any questions you want, and you may be surprised by how forthright we'll be.
In turn, we hope you'll appreciate our candor and help promote the site to others out there.
Think about how you first heard about EPL Talk and what brought you to the site. Was it a link somewhere? Or a posting on a message board? Or something else? Whatever it was, we need to bring more soccer fans into EPL Talk. The more people who visit, the more attractive EPL Talk will be to advertisers -- which is the only way (other than donations from you) that EPL Talk earns revenue to help pay the bills and expand.
So while I put in tens of hours a week into EPL Talk, all I ask is that you take 2 minutes here and there to help promote the site. Thanks in advance for your support.

I found EPL Talk by accident when last May I was looking for a site for making online petitions (Westerners here in Japan at the time were fuming at NHK's decision not to offer bilingual commentary for the 2006 World Cup)
I came across John Sheehan's petition to have a certain announcer ousted from the ESPN/ABC comm booth and it led me to get acquainted with the whole footie media scene in the U.S. of all places! So a big thank you goes out to Mr O'Brien.
TT,
That's definitely interesting how you found me/us. Just goes to show that it's sometimes the least obvious methods.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
