How many times have you caught yourself jumping from site to site looking for the information that you needed, and wanting more?

The internet is a vast virtual library of information, and just like a library has many books, the internet has many websites. Imagine yourself in a library and finding a book that had everything you were looking for all in that one book. Tough to imagine right? The same problem has been present on the internet. All the information you are looking for is out there, and before now, it was scattered among the millions of websites.

Now you can come to AnglersResource.org and find all the information that you need to be a successful angler. No more jumping from website to website to find all the information that you need. From California to New York, fishermen can come to AnglersResource.org and get the most up-to-date information on the internet.

AnglersResource.org is the original all inclusive fishing resource guide. Other websites have come out since the launch of AnglersResource.org in November of 2007, however none capture the essence of connecting with the fishing community as we do. Our main goal is to provide the fishing world with a FREE service that has revolutionized the net effect on fishing. The reason why we are able to get all of this information, is because we do the research for you. We go out to all the different sources of information and gather everything fishermen need all to one website - AnglersResource.org. We go out on location to film video tips that cover the most asked questions in the industry. Our members also provide crucial up-to-date reports, product reviews, tips, and vast amounts of first-hand information from all over the world.

We are here to work for you to get you everything that you need to advance yourself to the next level of fishing.

We have a unique sponsorship program for the average tournament angler. We now give dozens of starting tournament anglers the opportunity for sponsorship. With our sponsorship program an angler is able to get their name out on the market, as well as hone in on their marketing skills.

We work with our field staff in order to build their fishing resume and to empower themselves to launch their own fishing careers.

So take a few minutes to look around, see how we can take you to the next level, and I will see you out on the water!

what do yout hink?

Answer 1

Sounds good to me. Now that I read it I'll have to go check it out...lol.

Good luck, and thanks for the site.

Answer 2

Much too long. Cut it to a single paragraph, 3-4 sentences, maybe with some 3-5 word bullet points beneath. Save the details ( media coverage, big names, sponsorship) for those sections of the website.

Most people who surf the web who don't have the patience to be "jumping from site to site looking for the information" also don't have the patience to read a 600-word "mission statement".

Answer 3

Geesh - if you had to talk to us and give us that sales pitch - you'd have to be one long winded person....will check the site out too..

Answer 4

I think it sounds good but in my opinion, it's way to long, in order to lure people in I think your main objective in the mission statement should be to entice people, and then leave them wanting more.  You basically bring them to your site before they enter it, although it all sounds great, but try to leave all of finer details of the sight until they actually enter it.   I think your site will do well, I know I will check it out, But I would say to try and combine the  4th and 5th paragraph as best you can to do the enticing, this would work for me, and leave all the other stuff to the links on your site.    Hope I helped, Bud, and good luck with your new site.

Answer 5

I think that your marketing background and the opportunity for a good free ad was genius.. Good job
