How Arianna Huffington Created Huffpost - Made $100m by suxes2006(m): 9:10am On Mar 03, 2012
[b]Here is a case study I diligently did about Huffington Post and as a blogger, an entrepreneur or someone who just needs to be motivated, you must read it word by word and let me hear your view after reading it!!

According to Wikipedia, "The Huffington Post is an American news website, content-aggregator and blog founded by Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, Andrew Breitbart and Jonah Peretti, featuring columnists and various news sources".

Furthermore, "The site offers news, blogs, and original content, and covers politics, business, entertainment, technology, popular media, life & style, culture, comedy, healthy living, women's interest, and local news."

I know you are not here to read the meaning of HP as you probably one time or the other might have heard about the blog (are you an ardent reader too?).

When Ana was about to launch HP with 3 other people in May 9, 2005, there were other top authoritative news blog online as well doing good but HP came with a different voice and tone entirely!

She was a successful writer and author before she taught about creating HP which now took her name to the lips of almost all Americans wanting to read political news online - even though she says HP is not a political blog, it reports more of politics and govt news.

Lessons Learnt From Arianna Huffington

1. Be Fearless

"Her first foray into the Internet was a website called Resignation.com, which called for the resignation of President Bill Clinton and was a rallying place for conservatives opposing Clinton" That was a quote picked from wikipedia and I doubt if i could give you something better than to summarize this message.

You see, for you to work your way to the top, you must be fearless. Make sure you believe in your intuitions and follow your mind. Do not let anything bother you a lot. There are lot of great ideas thrown away all because there might be trade mark problem and you will go to prison.

Arianna was a fearless lady who does not care what happens to her. She wants to speak her voice and let the whole world know whom she is and what she wants. She actually does this on her own with or without the backing of others and once she starts, others follows her.[/b]

3. Seek For Partnership (Joint Venture)

When HP became a success, Arianna did not just sit down and allow everything to continue to work like that. Instead, she agreed to welcome investors and also invest in other things as well which are the backbone of HP now. Get in to the social media scene and get like minds. Forums and other popular means are advised as well.

4. Be Creative + Think Outside The Box

In 2008, the site launched its first local version, HuffPost Chicago; HuffPost New York launched in June, 2009, HuffPost Denver launched on September 15, 2009, HuffPost Los Angeles launched on December 2, 2009, and HuffPost San Francisco, launched on July 12, 2011. HuffPost Detroit, launched on November 17, 2011. The most recent, HuffPost Miami launched in November 2011.

The Huffington Post launched its first international edition, HuffPost Canada, on May 26, 2011. On the 6 July 2011 the Huffington Post UK launched its UK edition. On October 10, 2011, Huffington announced a deal with Le Monde and Les Nouvelles Editions Indépendantes for a French-language, France-targeted edition, Le Huffington Post,[29][30] to be launched by the end of 2011. On February 8, 2012, another French-language edition was launched in the Canadian province of Quebec. International editions for Spain, Italy and Germany have been announced for 2012.
