Success at Groupon | Bloomberg | Discovery
If Compete shows your traffic increased by 33% in one month, would you say that it was a business success?
Interesting news from Compete shows a list of movers and shakers.
Thoughts about the list:
Groupon has success because it is "forced viral" to get the deal. If someone finds a deal they like, they must find others interested who will commit. The consumer wins with better deals but has to do a little work along the way by sharing the page.
Bloomberg is all about news with tools for Personal Finance such as Calculators and a Portfolio Tracker. Financials, newspapers, TV, radio and the website can tie together well. The content and news is easy to navigate and worth sharing.
Discovery offers education and this website offers videos, news and education to break the brain. The content is amazing, unique and worth sharing.
Allrecipes has a deep inventory of all things recipes. Free recipes, exchanges, contests and news just to get you started. Sharing a recipe or finding a recipe to meet specific dietary needs is easy.
Vimeo is a quality video sharing site. (One I recommend.) Since video continues to be an online marketing tool, it is no surprise Vimeo is a mover and shaker. Sharing is easy and fun.
Match.com brings people together. Dating and relationship. Did you know there are over 11 million visitors in a month? They are on TV, radio, print and everywhere on the Internet. Those participating probably feel that the content is absolutely perfect: "Their Happiness."
Moviefone is all things movies. Trailers, movie listings, news, videos and more. With the ability to go mobile, Moviefone is an on the go website and with a few clicks, videos shared.
Godaddy is an aggressive marketing online service business. With an affiliate system in place where people are rewarded for sending business and a system where people can both buy AND sell their websites, this site is a top contender for being passed on.
Righthealth is a site about the well being and health of you and your family. Videos, news, health studies and the list goes on. Very valuable content and inbound links, bookmarking and sharing will be constantly on the rise.
Metacafe is one more video sharing site. Like Vimeo or YouTube, it has the easy sharing options but with a bit less restrictions for content.
The entrepreneur can't compete with the likes of these big names. If you have a tool such as Compete, you can stay in tune to the trends and patterns.
If you are creating videos and hosting them on Vimeo or Metacafe, then feel pleased. If your videos are about matchmaking / dating, health, finance or recipes, you are in an area where there is high interest.
What is common among these businesses to put them in the mover and shaker list?
