Why else isn’t it working?● Consumers choose channels (Google, Facebook, etc) that serve their needs and
channels try to serve content that matches those customer’s needs
○ ...which likely isn’t going to be bad owned media
● Each channel wants to be profitable as well.

● 46 colleges and universities just in immediate area
● Colleges and universities in other states
● Online degrees● ...all wanting their students.

Take Aways:● There needs to be a stronger focus on content
distribution as well as content generation.
● You have to deeply consider new platforms and weigh the pros/cons before jumping in.
● If your intention is to provide valuable, interesting information to users, then you can live through the storms.

Going viral to build an audience
● You could leave it up to chance or you could make very deliberate plans: ○ Make your product easy to share ○ Ensure that it’s worth sharing / must answer “what’s in it for me?”○ Be willing to adjust/pivot based on user feedback
● Focus on early adopters before the mass market. At least at first. ○ What are their interests and where do they frequent?
