Basic Description

BuzzFeed.com is a popular viral news website that shot to fame thanks to its clever clickbait content.

At one point it was making incredible amounts of money and the company was valued at $750m in early 2022.

Since then the stock price of the company has fallen after being listed on the stock exchange in December of 2021.

Earnings for the company have slightly increased year-on-year but with heavier costs the company is now losing money rather than making it.

Using the awesome 80/20 rule you could look at what works for the BuzzFeed platform and replicate it while reducing costs massively.

I’m not suggesting that you will rule the internet with your own BuzzFeed clone but you could seriously cut back on the costs using ChatGPT.

By avoiding having to pay writers you can instead focus on growth and promotion of your own viral content using BuzzFeed as a template.

There are lots of case studies and research done on BuzzFeed and its rise to success that you can look into also.

Required Skills

A journalistic eye would be ideal but really if you aren't responsible for the content being posted to the site then you can focus on marketing. A marketer with a keen eye for growth hacking will surely be able to make this idea a success.

Building An MVP

Using a blogging platform such as WordPress you can find themes that already specialise in viral content style websites. Pair this up with your research of what is trending right now and use ChatGPT to produce the content itself.

Initial Traction

Publishing the viral content to your own social media should get you a small amount of traffic. Posting links to the content inside other people's social media should help you piggy back off their success but this must be done with care to avoid getting banned.
