The CompuSports Media Exchange was created and launched in May, 2002 to provide a distribution and marketing platform for independent authors and publishers of eBooks, videos and software. With a “no-up-front cost” revenue-sharing model,  we offered access to an online community of sports professionals and enthusiasts built through our affiliation with a number of sports-themed web sites in the CompuSports Network, which first appeared online in 1996.

In addition to offering one of the first coach-oriented, shared eCommerce platforms, The CompuSports Media Exchange published Articles written by our own staff, authors and publishers, as well as Guest “writers”.  Articles eventually came to be knowm as “posts” a few years later, when “Blogging” platforms like WordPress and Blogger appeared on the scene.  We encouraged our contributors and partners to include links to their own web sites,  products and services and enabled them to choose whether to distribute and collect payment on their own web site or ours (or both). In one case, we created an hosted a PDF Order Form for one of our Author partners, which could be printed, completed and mailed with a check to purchase a book that was only available in Paperback.

The idea for the CompuSports Media Exchange was based on our view that, in 2002, building a basic e-Commerce web site was either complicated,  expensive or both. So, we designed what we believed was a generous revenue-sharing model – particularly when compared with traditional publisher royalty arrangements, and enjoyed a number of successful years.

Things changed for our blogging platform shortly after the release of the smartphone, as blogging services like blogger.com and wordpress.com from “mega-tech” companies became available for creating blogs and web sites.  On the eCommerce side,  digital product distribution soon became dominated by tech giants Amazon, Apple and others.   It was primarily for these reasons that we gradually shifted the focus of The CompuSports Media Exchange to publishing articles (by then, called blog posts) and distributing only a limited collection of videos and later online courses for which we were involved in the creation and publication processes.

Since January 2021, our articles (posts) have been written and managed by retired College Football Coach and the creator of The Triple Gun Offense, Tony DeMeo.  Coach DeMeo’s videos and CoachTube courses are virtually all available for purchase here, with some also available on Coach DeMeo’s personal web site.

The CompuSports Media Exchange has historically offered “guest writers” a way to expand their audience at No Cost . Posts (articles) could include links to web sites, blogs, tweets and online marketplaces like Amazon.com and CoachTube.

Since 2021, new posts are created and manged by our Editor, Tony DeMeo, who selectively incorporates externally produced content in his Play of the Day series.
