Skimbit to host The Sway in May

Posted by Hannah on May 18, 2009 in Announcements

Skimbit is leading a movement. A gentle, grass-roots movement.

It’s called The Sway, and it’s not lead by advertisers and ad networks, but by content creators. It is driven by the fact that it is increasingly difficult to make money from publishing content. Unless you have a huge audience and dedicated ad sales team, it can be hard to make a living from content, and with CPM rates sliding down lower and lower, something has got to give.

Our vision for The Sway is it will be part networking for commercial content creators, part learning of what is working for other content creators, and part debate to build up our own industry ethics for how to make money from content in an ethical way. And there will be wine! Free wine!

Come join us, spread the word. Places are limited, but just ask us for an invitation if you’d like to come!

Skimbit’s Alicia Navarro, as well as Katie Lee, William Rowe and James Bromley are four of the confirmed speakers.
