How does this entrepreneur, mother, author and speaker manage to find success and balance in all of her business ventures? Huffington does four simple things, which you can start doing right away: She gets enough sleep, exercises, meditates and eats healthy food. The media mogul tells CNBC Make It that when she does these four basic things, she finds that being productive and chasing her professional goals becomes much easier.
Huffington's ability to prioritize her health and wellness is what led to her initial success with the Huffington Post. Contrary to popular belief, she says she did not truly become successful until she stopped overworking herself. The businesswoman came to realize the importance of putting health and wellness first after passing out from exhaustion in She began openly criticising her former political bedfellows. Ms Huffington also sponsored a series of adverts parodying Republican drug-control messages that implied drug users were somehow funding terrorism.
Her version suggested owners of big petrol-guzzling cars were also helping out. Her interest in political activism reached new heights when she ran as an independent candidate for governor of California in Standing against Arnold Schwarzenegger, she described the race as the "hybrid versus the Hummer".
But she eventually dropped out of the race before election day. Huffington Post founder to step down. AOL's big gamble on Huffington Post. BBC - dot. Rory AOL's Huffington hopes. Arianna Huffington is set to leave the Huffington Post. HuffPost success. With AOL being a great parent company that basically within a few months, it was clear that the best model was for us to be left alone to run The Huffington Post.
Meet our objectives, stay within our budget, and then AOL would invest in the areas that we would decide were the biggest growth areas. They invested in HuffPost Live, which was a…. Arianna : Video TV series. They invested in growing internationally, so within the first two years we were in six countries.
They invested in original journalism. We were able to…. John : That brings us to a really important question that we ask everyone, is the question of is there a viable model at scale for profitable news? Is it long term scaleably profitable as a business? John : Shed some light on that. Are you profitable now on an operating basis? John : But are you in an investment mode or a profitable mode?
Arianna : I think we are in investment mode in some areas like HuffPost Live, like international, and in profit mode in other areas. But I absolutely believe, and the facts are here, that advertising is moving more and more online.
Especially as advertisers want to engage more and more with their readers and social is becoming more important. John : But the value of digital advertising is declining. And your business is built entirely on digital advertising. Arianna : Right, although we definitely do the banner ads and the CPM measured advertising, the most profitable part of our advertising are sponsored content platforms. I mentioned…. We have an impact section sponsored by Cisco, which actually won an advertising innovation award last week.
We have an IBM section, we have a lot of sections like that which are all six figure deals. Or seven. Paul : Do you keep the editorial control? You talked about a church state, Chinese Wall model. One is, what do you think is the most significant lasting influence of the growth and development of The Huffington Post on the rest of the journalism industry?
I think…. Because if they had, they would have left no room for The Huffington Post to exist. They left a vacuum into which we stepped. The Huffington Post is doing more and more traditional journalism with investigative reporting, in multiple areas, and we just finished sending 26 reporters across America to write about the new poverty, the decline of the middle class. All those things which…. John : Is this your book on steroids? This is taking each chapter…. John : My last question is take us five years out and tell us about Huffington Post and the journalism industry, the news industry, and you.
Where is this headed? Arianna : Five years from now, we want to be in all the major countries in every major language. Arianna : Which is amazing for journalism, because we are covering the resignation of the Pope, and the new Pope, has been an incredible demonstration of what we can do because we have a great Italian team of editors.
Arianna : Entirely Italian. We both choose the editorial director. Paul : I have one last question. You can see some of the mainstream has gone to the paywall, or even some of the bloggers are trying to go to a leaky paywall as they call it.
Do you think both models are going to work? Arianna : No, I think both models will work depending on the brand. You have to make trade offs. The New York Times, actually they run great ads for subscriptions. We were able to overtake them in unique visitors, I think partly because they are now emphasizing the paywall. There are trade offs. People are used to paying for it. What are you going to do about that? Arianna : It allows for social and social sharing, et cetera.
But there are trade offs. Arianna : I think it was always a combination. I think that…. Arianna : We still are. When we launched The Huffington Post splash, which is now a bit of a trademark…Yeah. Arianna : I want history to know that I interrupted this interview twice to talk to my daughter, which is my one rule that everybody here knows. Arianna : I just want to make it clear in this world of women trying to drive our careers and parenthood, that parenthood comes first.
