Peter Cashmore is 24 years of age and worth around $70 million. How? He started the website Mashable. By visiting the site even just one time, you can understand his success. Mashable is a website full of articles that are seemingly thrown together, in a clean and simplistic way. Article titles grab your attention and range over a wide variety of subjects. While not worthy of citation for an essay, the website feels far cleaner than BuzzFeed or ClickHole for example. Peter’s site now has more than 10 million monthly visitors, and that number is growing. This is definitely a unique website and one I will be using going forward. Peter has also been mentioned in several exclusive lists such as Forbe’s 30 Under 30 and a few others.
I’m a huge Mashable fan, I use it to find new products as well as fun articles. You are definitely correct that is looks much nicer than Buzzfeed and Clickhole, and I believe that’s one of the biggest reasons they have succeeded.
