Local media have seen a significant decline in advertising revenue. What used to be a substantial financial foundation for local publications has increasingly shifted to platforms. How did this happen?
- Autos – Autotrader, Carvana, CarGurus.
- Dating – Bumble, Tinder.
- For Sale – Craigslist, eBay.
- Jobs – Indeed.
- Real Estate – Zillow.
- Stocks – Robinhood.
Local media have inadvertently allowed tech companies to erode their primary revenue streams and distribution by not embracing technology. In a story from Nieman Labs, The Houston Landing raised $20 million pre-launch, and less than two years later, it's shutting down. CEO Peter Bhatia said, "A challenging financial environment has made long-term sustainability unattainable. We were not able to build the additional revenue streams needed to sustain ongoing operational needs." Until publishers prioritize distribution, business models, and innovation, this will continue to be the case.
See Near Me presents a significant opportunity to secure sustainable revenue and unlock a world of untapped possibilities, inspiring a new era for local media and addressing the financial concerns of local publishers. How?
- Revenue – Partners earn 25% monthly recurring commissions writing about local businesses, creators, and entrepreneurs on See Near Me.
- Distribution – Partners receive $3,000-$10,000 in paid distribution on Facebook and Instagram, reaching 1 million people aged 25-54 within a 25-mile radius, thus increasing reach and readership.
It's straightforward. Your organization publishes content, and we will provide paid distribution, generating revenue for you. For example, in 2018, the Greater Houston metropolitan area had an estimated 663,800 "non-employee businesses," which are often sole proprietorships, consultants, or freelancers. That's a market value and potential monthly income of $3,319,000 ($19.99 x 25% x 663,800).
