Huge sites with small staffs

July 21st, 2009

Did you know it is possible, due to technology and scaling, to have a very popular and profitable site with only a handful of employees. There is a site called Squidoo and here’s an example of some content on their site which is a lens and is about a godaddy promo code which was written by a community member.

This particular site has only six full-time people, and is one of the top 1000 websites. The key is that the community generates the content. The revenue is generated is given out to the content creators. The is a very novel idea. One third of all of the content creators of this site actually give their money to charity. It is amazing to think that that many people donate the money to charity.
