Lately there have been many freestyle soccer fans posting topics regarding making money with freestyle soccer. The question is though, is making money with freestyle soccer really possible? Today we spoke to the ‘make money with freestyle soccer’ expert Thiago Carvalho to find out…
Hi Thiago, I’d like to ask you how did you come up with the idea of making money with freestyle soccer?
Well, first of all I wasn’t the person who created the concept. Famous football freestylers such as Palle, Soufiane Touzani and Nam The Man have all been making money with freestyle soccer for quite some time, way before I created the website FreestyleSoccerProfits.com. It would be a lack of respect if I were to say I was the person who created this idea.
When did you find out that it was possible to make money with freestyle soccer?
I saw the likes of Billy Wingrove and John Farnworth promoting Nike’s football products, and there was a video on Youtube where Soufiane Touzani and Rathinho were performing on stage at a Samsung event in front of large crowd. I don’t know if you recognised, there were also a group of freestylers selling their DVD’s online, if I can remember I think the DVD was called Ball or Street Soccer Fusion.
What made you create FreestyleSoccerProfits.com? Why did you think your website would interest people?
Previously I had two freestyle soccer wesbites that didn’t turn out be be successful. I learnt that Freestyle Soccer was written about too much and I was never going to get my sites top Google rankings, therefore I decided to be creative and fused making money online / offline and freestyle soccer together, thus FreestyleSoccerProfits.com was born.
The reason why I thought FreestyleSoccerProfits.com was going to work was because I knew that freestyle soccer performers had knowledge of online marketing, obviously through the websites that they had created and mass video marketing on Youtube and Metacafe. There were also freestyle soccer performers making money offline so I knew that I could add a little spice to this topic by making this site.
How many subscribers have you managed to get on your website so far?
Well, roughly close to 220 but I must admit I haven’t followed up with my subscribers, this is why on FreestyleSoccerProfits.com 2.0 I will definitely be making sure this doesn’t happen again and that my subscribers can fully stay in touch with my latest news. I will be placing an apology on my new site because I know some of the fans have been disappointed.
If you could give football freestylers 5 of your best tips on how to make money with freestyle soccer what would they be?
1. Be focused on your goal. If you start a freestyle football career, end it. Never give up and believe in yourself and god will take you where you want to go.
2. Don’t get distracted. If your friends are going out partying and getting drunk don’t follow them. Life is full of illusions and you must not get distracted by them.
3. Practice, practice, practice. John Farnworth said that he practices his freestyle soccer tricks 40 hours per week. You can understand why he is the World’s Freestyle Soccer Champion.
4. Invest in yourself. Invest in freestyle soccer as much as you can. If you require money, find a part time job so you also have plenty of time to practice.
5. Be professional. Educate yourself whatever way you can. Read psychology books and improve your language and writing skills if you have to. To make money with freestyle soccer you will also have to be a business man/woman, this is extremely important because press conferences and interviews will eventually come knocking at your door.
Thankyou Thiago, those tips sound great and I appreciate your time in giving this interview. I’m sure the football freestylers out there are waiting for your new website to go online. Do you have any idea when it will be available?
I guess it will be available for the 1st December 2009, so I hope to see you and everybody there. Just visit www.FreestyleSoccerProfits.com or search ‘make money freestyle soccer’ on Google and you’ll be able to find my website.
Our pleasure.
Take care.
