Steve Outing Launching Resource For Online News Publishers
Steve Outing blogged recently that he soft-launched a website called GrowingYourNewsWebsite.com. As the website's name suggets it offers tips and ideas for online news publishers.
I've just debuted a new website/blog designed to be a resource for ideas, tips and advice for online news publishers. It's called GrowingYourNewsWebsite.com, and it's NOT another industry news blog. The focus is exclusively on advice. I hope you'll find it useful.
I soft-launched the site yesterday, so hardly anyone knows about it. I'd love it if a few of you checked it out and maybe commented on the early posts. My intent is to post a tip a day. There will be ideas on how to increase traffic and earn more money, primarily. I'm aiming for actionable tips and advice.
Steve Outing writes the Stop the Presses column for Editor & Publisher so this should be a great resource for news publishers. One of the entries on the new blog suggests that some news providers should just use YouTube instead of trying to overcomplicate things by hosting their own videos. A few news outlets and news tv stations are already using YouTube (see Fast Lane Daily, KTLA, KMBC, KRQE, Chicago Tribune, FoxNewsBlast and Martha Stewart) but it is surprising how few are taking advantage of YouTube's easy distribution service. This could be why YouTube recently launched a new service that allows publishers to make their own YouTube-type services.
