Biznews.com has a very special reason to celebrate. Today, just nine and a half months since its debut, the website’s monthly Pageviews (see right) broke through one million for the first time. And it’s only the 17th.
Thanks a million. You, our readers, are our customers. And our customers have shown us the rational alternative works.
Biznews was born on the idea that careful curatorship by experienced editors could be a differentiator. Exponential growth in readership suggests we’ve hit a very sweet spot.
Eight months of gardening leave after departing Moneyweb in October 2012 provided me the ideal opportunity to travel, read, investigate and, most importantly, listen. What surfaced was an appreciation that we live in a world where the collapsing of Old Media’s barriers has created confusion within the industry and without.
Nobody really knows where the content provision sector will end up. So we believed our approach was as good as anyone’s – old fashioned values of hard work, applying our experience to provide what our customers want, listening hard. And, most importantly, ensuring our team tap dance to work every day. Because when you’re having fun, it shows in the product.
Biznews is off to an unbelievably positive start having reached a milestone that we expected would take years. We will keep working harder, listening more attentively. And never forget the New Media world belongs to those who learn, not those who “know”.
Thanks a million.
