The LifeTips Story
The year was 2000. The web was young, and LifeTips was born. Our mission was—and still is—to make life better, smarter, faster and wiser…one tip at a time. It was the first launch for ideaLaunch, the hub for a number of different content marketing solution and services founded by Byron White, a successful entrepreneur with a track record a mile long.
By 2001, LifeTips.com had attracted thousands of readers and dozens of expert writers interested in publishing tips and advice. To generate revenue, we invited exclusive advertisers for each topic in our network, and signed up major clients like Circuit City, Chase, H&R Block, PETCO and hundreds more.
By 2004, our organic success in the search engines was so strong that our sponsors started asking us to help them grow organically. We did just that, creating tip and advice centers on our clients' websites that helped them drive organic traffic from the search engines with great information and advice. This service was the seed for what was to eventually become WriterAccess.com.
In 2005, we launched the weekly LifeTips Radio Show to reach listeners and fans orbiting at high speeds. It's now a popular show with more than 200 espisodes recorded, and airs every Wednesday at 4 PM ET on WebmasterRadio.FM. Recordings and downloads are also available on our site or iTunes for free.
In 2006, we expanded the LifeTips services for writers with a book publishing service. On-demand book publishing was new to the market, and growing like crazy. We worked with writers to publish their best 101 tips in a book format and made it available at every major bookstore worldwide.
Now in 2012 we're launching a do-it-yourself (DIY) platform to self-publish books online, offering more scale for more writers at affordable pricing. By helping authors create and market their knowledge to readers and fans, we continue our mission to make the world, and the web, a better place, one tip—and book—at a time.
