Good morning, Chicago! Ready to speak with some amazing publishers at the @nichemediahq conference with @ryandohrn. One of my favorite media events all year. 🙂
Guys, let's start simplifying our ad model.
Want to see how Hudson Valley Magazine doubled its monthly page views and radically grew email signups and paid subscriptions? Check it out here: nearviewmedia.com/hudson-valley-…
What's ahead for media companies in 2024? I take a look at the 6 most important issues that publishers will need to face. nearviewmedia.com/2024-issues/
Are you tracking your magazine's email reputation with Google Postmaster Tools? Learn how in my latest video tip. nearviewmedia.com/google-postmas…
I am so proud of Rick Schumacher and the @LBMJournal team for the recognition they received in Niche Media Insider. Huge growth in their digital advertising revenue because they provide real value for their readers and advertisers. Check out the story! nichepublisher.biz/digital-ads-gr…
I had a GREAT time at Alliance of Area Business Publishers and City & Regional Magazine Association at their joint winter conference. We talked a LOT about how media companies should handle AI and looked at digital KPI benchmarks. Some of the best publishers in the world! 🙂

Doing a session on content marketing with @julio_melara, @brbizreport, @225batonrouge and some amazing local businesses here in Baton Rouge!
Heading to NOLA today to meet with @nola_renman and the amazing team @NewOrleansMag
"Google search is like a library you can browse. Google Assistant is your librarian who finds and does things for you." – @Marie_Haynes Big changes are coming to search in 2024 as Google Bard rolls out. Publishers will need to adapt.
Publishers ... your beautiful website design doesn't mean a thing if it's not driving your business objectives. Function comes first, then the pretty can enhance it. But pretty can't replace function. And if your website isn't functional OR pretty ...🤨
Publishers ... do you have Google Analytics on your subscription and confirmation pages? Are you using GA events and conversions for controlled / free subs? Are you using GA ecommerce tracking for paid subs? Do it. 🙂
Recently, @ryandohrn and I recently talked about the 7 biggest mistakes digital ad sellers make. Check out the entire video or read the quick summary of the session. nearviewmedia.com/digital-ad-sal…
When agencies ask what your average click rate is, do NOT give them a specific number. Give them a range from your lowest to highest CTR over the past year. Point out that the difference was the ad subject, message, and creative execution.
For all online publishers ... Challenge your entire staff to look at your website using only a mobile phone for an entire month. You'll immediately see everything that you need to improve.

53K Followers 109 Following I've taught 10,000+ entrepreneurs how to launch + grow their online businesses, and they've done over a $1 billion in sales. #1 NY Times bestseller of "Launch"@eshanfelt I use 2nd and 3rd quartile a for selling. First quartile for optimization. “The majority of our clients see between __ & __.” If they were average performance, I’d add, “ But our top performing clients are between __ & __. I’d love to discuss ideas about how we could get there.”
@eshanfelt But, I’d prefer to talk attention metrics over CTR
There is an art and science to media. Not enough people try to practice both.
It's not just Gen Z that makes this extremely foolish. TLD+1 (the base domain) is becoming an increasing focus for ad tech tools around contextual targeting, privacy sandbox, and antifraud. Minimizing domains you hold will almost certainly be looked back on as a tactical error.
I don’t believe there’s been a better CEO in digital media the last 10 years than Erika Nardini. I’m going to do a deeper dive into the impact at Barstool Sports she had. But, for now, congratulations to her on the amazing run. She’s an inspiring human and a great leader.

@eshanfelt @skift Thanks for your kind words, and you are correct, most way overthink this. We do simple things consistently and with authentic Skift voice and it works. Our team appreciates it.

All media companies are essentially doing the same thing - Grabbing attention and monetizing it. He said there are no secrets or silver bullets. It's all about executing on content and monetization. When looking at Industry Dive's business, it's remarkable how simple it is.
If your business is set on a solid foundation, there is never a better time to build than now. The next 18+ months is when we get to separate ourselves from the competition. Exciting times.
As far as I know, nobody got slapped at the ASBPE ceremony last night...but award season continues. There is still time.
A great celebration of journalism tonight - our newsroom won 9 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze medals across different categories in the regional @ASBPE awards.
@eshanfelt @nichemediahq @ryandohrn Strange seeing a Niche Media event with no mention of our mutual bud, Carl Landau. I am sure it will be a terrific workshop.
The optional Publisher Discussion Roundtables are in full swing! Great chats happening, join us on the 2nd floor until noon - last room on the left! Thanks to our intrepid moderators Kristi Collier and Carole Sprunk! #nicheconference #roundtablediscussion #publishers

@JoePulizzi Sometimes I think it’s so terrible I don’t even write it! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
The most successful content creators in the world are probably producing less content than you. Fewer channels & consistent delivery builds a loyal audience.
@eshanfelt So true...there is no shortage of audience/impression builders, but of business models.
