Just this week (during the holiday slowdown), we have added phenomenal expertise to the Know More Media network by at finding authors for Leasingnotes, itechtips, MarketingBlurb, and BizImpresario. The authors of each of these blogs have established expertise and authority in their respective fields. Their daily posts will be additive to the business topics they cover and will surely develop a loyal readership. Continue Reading

We see the decline of:

• The traditional media model, with centralized (primarily New York) editorial control.
• Models where information flows uni-directional, with little allowance for correction or clarification or discussion. 
• Models that proclaim their objectivity to the increasing disbelief of their audience. 
• Models that do not show transparency of their sources so they might allow their audience to determine their degree of trust. 
• Models that serve as gatekeepers rather than authenticaters.

We have team members working from home and from one of our two offices.  We currently have people working in California, Utah, and Arizona, as well as some engineering work being done in Nepal.  We expect to have people working with us across the country and around the world.  So some of our favorite tools are the ones that help us work in this geographical disparate (not desperate!) model.

To tell the truth, we expected that we might get flamed or attacked as we dipped our toes into the blogosphere pool.  So far, to our surprise, the general feeling has been, "Welcome, come on in, the water is fine and we are glad you have joined us!"

While our inspiration in 1999 was Scott Kurnit and Jeff Jarvis, in 2005 it was the people we met and heard from at the Business Blog Summit and BlogOn. Please forgive the shameless name-dropping but it was the ideas, enthusiasm, and encouragement of several early and prominent bloggers that provided the impetus to create Know More Media and we want them to know we drank their kool-aid.

We attended every SES conference we could to learn as much as we could about SEO, Adsense, Affiliate deals, organic rankings, PPC.  People like Dana Todd were kind and helpful mentors and friends.  

We tried to glean whatever we could from Google when they presented.  For the most part, the Google team usually gave the nebulous corporate line, with little useful information.  We did always appreciate Matt Cutts (photo) who invariably spoke straight and was more than willing to answer our questions the best he could.  We also appreciated the honesty of people like Greg Boser and Todd Freisen in cutting through the haze and answering our dumb questions (if only we could get some of that magic link juice that they drink).

This experience with About and our association with Jeff Jarvis have provided one of the corners in our foundation as we have built Know More Media.  We like the power of allowing experts and professionals to write about what they know best; we realize we could increase advertising revenue by providing targeted and segmented audiences to our advertisers; we see that traditional media really struggles with this online world of publishing.  From all of this and with the great blogging tools available, we see that we can build an online publishing company that focuses on business, with the content written by experts from all over, and we can build something of value for readers.
