BuzzFeed takes on Amazon… sort of 🚚
Last week, the President was in a truck. An hour later BuzzFeed wrote an article. It went viral. A day later they turned it into a children's book: The President and the Big Boy Truck Book.
But this isn’t the first product from the cat listicle website. BuzzFeed also sells hot glue cheese guns, viral cookbooks, and even political garbage cans. 😳
Their movement toward commerce demonstrates a growing trend as advertising-driven businesses diversify and explore new revenue streams. Medium’s trying it with subscriptions. Twitch is starting to sell games. Facebook launched a Craigslist competitor.
We can’t wait to see what happens next.
