Focus on what users want
Small Business Lessons from Lolcats?
Ben Huh, CEO of the Cheezburger network
Huh stresses how important the community has been to the success of the Cheezburger network.
“There was no reason for us to reinvent the wheel, so we decided that we wanted to concentrate on what was really truly unique to us, which was the great community that was actually creating all this content.”
“For us, we felt that we didn’t want to break new ground. We didn’t have the resources to do so. We weren’t a giant corporation with a lot of R&D dollars, so we wanted to focus on something simple, and I think a lot of smaller businesses forget that,” he adds. “If you’re focused on what your users want from you, you can continue to grow, which then gives you the ability to do things that are more challenging.”
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe -Anatole France
