Understanding the WikiHow Business Model

In this section, we will discuss the business model of WikiHow and how it can be used to make money.

The WikiHow Business Model

  • Big businesses have a lot of waste, while little guys can see things that big businesses cannot.
  • The WikiHow business model is based on content articles, information, and ads.
  • One of the top-ranking articles on WikiHow is "how to make a video into an MP3," which has been read 2.7 million times.
  • If 2.7 million people read an article and 3% click on ads, that would mean about 81,000 people clicking on ads.
  • Disney is one of the companies advertising on WikiHow's platform.
  • The basic number game for ad revenue is getting x amount of people to read an article and x amount will click an ad.
  • If they get 10 cents per click on the ad, then that article made a grand total of $8,100.

Making Money with the WikiHow Business Model

  • There is a lot of money being left on the table by big businesses like Disney because they are not providing what users are looking for.
  • By doing better than big businesses in providing relevant content and ads to users searching for specific information, little guys can make more money using the same business model as WikiHow.
