Here's How BuzzFeed Plans To Turn Viral Content Into Cash
BuzzFeed , which aggregates all the viral/goofy/bizarre/hilarious content on the web, just raised $8 million and hired a new president . Now the NYC-based company is making a play to turn the web's viral content into cash, through a handful of custom ad units that blur content with advertising . BuzzFeed is betting this could eventually generate more revenue than standard display advertising.As I was finishing up my review of Hulu Plus , Om Malik raised the idea that Hulu might be considering one of the options I planned to suggest: an ad-free version of its new premium subscription service. Turns out the answer is yes — and no. When I asked CEO Jason Kilar by e-mail if an ad-free option was under consideration, he called his comment “theoretical” but didn’t rule out the option for the joint venture of Disney (NYSE: DIS), News Corp (NSDQ: NWS) and NBC Universal. “There’s nothing that prevents us from considering an ad-free version of Hulu Plus,” Kilar wrote.

Yet Chance, as a successful direct marketer, has a different mentality. He always thinks of how to get a dependable source of traffic and convert it into real profit. Andrew believes that there are two communities of people in the business world.

How HOTorNOT Bootstrapped To Over $5 Million In Annual Profits – With James Hong
This is a story of a company that was built in a living room and went on to become a cultural phenomenon. I asked James Hong to come to Mixergy and teach how he and his co-founder, Jim Young, bootstrapped HOTorNOT and what they learned along the way. James Hong co-founded HOTorNOT , which started as an online photo rating site where users uploaded pictures of themselves and the community voted on each picture. It grew into one of the largest online dating sites. He sold the company to a group of private investors in February 2008. Today, James is an angel investor and adviser to Alive Not Dead, Bit Torrent, Brondell, Crunchyroll, Frappr, Grouper / Crackle, GreenMango.co.in, Hook Mobile, Mochi Media, Odeo, Raptr, Simply Hired, Slide, and Social Concepts.
