How a PR consultant launched a thriving tech news outlet

from The Business of Content with Simon Owens · host Simon Owens

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   When Kevin Raposo launched KnowTechie in 2014, he had no idea it would grow into a thriving tech news outlet – he just wanted journalists to answer his emails. He was working as a PR consultant and figured reporters would be more receptive to his pitches if they considered him to be one of their peers.   But after three years of running the site, its audience blew up, and Kevin was able to hire several writers to expand its coverage. And while the rise of generative AI has eaten into its traffic, KnowTechie continues to drive meaningful revenue.   In a recent interview, Kevin walked me through his accidental entry into content marketing, his strategy for growing KnowTechie's audience, and how running the site impacts his day job as a tech PR consultant.
