The Cute Puppy – How Do You Compete?

Most online content competes for audience share. In this competition there are categories of content that are more popular with specific audiences. Within each category of content there are types of media that are more popular than others.

The entertainment world and “cute animal” content both command millions of visitors. In the entertainment category, popular content includes videos from popular artists, movie promotions, novelty “guerilla” produced videos, social channels pertaining to personalities, and news tabloid Websites. The cute animal category consists primarily of videos and pictures of pets or other animals performing tricks, doing something novel or being just plain cute.

Daily Deals – The Social Couponing Phenomenon

Currently a popular form of paid online advertising is deals of the day, sometimes known as social couponing. Daily deal services feature discounted gift certificates usable at local or national companies. These daily deals are often delivered to subscribers through their method of choice (often email or social media).

In some cases, if the deal is popular with the community, it is made available for longer. In other cases, the deal is available on delivery to the subscriber. Daily deal sales from daily deal providers are expected to reach $1 billion this year (LinkedIn, 2011).
