A number of these pen name writers believe there is no responsibility in telling the truth when it comes to their byline or bio, as long as the articles themselves are accurate. Other writers simply use a pseudonym to protect themselves, as Elite Daily content usually stands on one extreme side of a discussion and relies heavily on opinion.
The article chronicles our growing comfort with gay people, somewhat brashly, and using almost only opinion. Or disappoint their parents. The writers and editors all maintain, however, that the articles posted under pseudonyms are not counterfeit in any way because of the pen names.
Tyler Gildin, the Humor Editor, is working to be a stand-up comedian and always posts under his real name. The practice of pseudonyms in journalism is, again, like the jewelry conflict, not entirely above-board. Journalists are expected to tell the truth.
At the same time, creating a sub-brand as an author at a media site is part of being a journalist. People gravitate to their favorite authors based on style, voice, and opinion. At Elite Daily, the same thing is true, except those authors are characters based off of real people who are writing about real opinions. In May, Elite Daily told me that they publish between — posts on the home page every day, and that the site sees around 8.
Arabov said in his interview that the original figure he gave me for posts-per-day was a goal NOT actual output, and that the site currently aims for 80 to posts each day. Yesterday, as of 7pm ET, Elite Daily posted a total of 74 articles. Today, as of 3pm ET, 66 posts have gone up. This content is created by 17 salaried writers and over global contributors. The site is currently ranked at 1, in the United States by Alexa.
However, comScore confirmed to us that their tracking shows between 1 million and 3 million uniques monthly over the summer months. Arabov claims that part of this discrepancy comes from the fact that Elite Daily only became a comScore subscriber recently. Not shockingly, Arabov says that Elite Daily did, in fact, have trouble implementing the tags across the entire site. Chasin offered another possible cause as de-duplication.
It works like this: if TechCrunch is seeing 1 million page views from desktop, and 1 million page views from mobile, ComScore assumes this equals around 1. Moreover, comScore only tracks U.
I asked directly if Ripley, who told me himself we were on his property, had invested in the company. Both of them still hold equity in the venture. Enough to power the employee startup.
Elite Daily functions out of the same building Black Ocean, and Arabov says he pays rent to Ripley for the space. To be honest, we technically never looked at it as a round of funding or ever went out there to get funding. It was more so just money we had the day we registered the company.
It was money given to us to get us rolling in the beginning, which only lasted us the initial first 4 months as we had no revenue source back then. Arabov stated that Arabo has no stake in the company, financial or otherwise. Not only did I truly believe in our concept of Elite Daily, but I believed in David who was a hardworking intern and had many characteristics of a leader and Jonathon who was just as hard-working, tech savvy and very determined.
I apologize for not getting you the exact number quickly but the fact of the matter is this was a different investment then most of my other companies. We nailed it and it quickly was able to catch momentum and turn cash flow positive in just months time.
This has been an amazing journey for all of us and we feel blessed to be making such a positive impact on so many lives in Gen Y.
We plan on being here awhile so the na sayers can try to knock us down but we will never let it deter us from accomplishing our goals. For you.
