Upworthy uses a unique approach to achieve market fit and language mastery on a budget. They have a systematic process for creating and selecting headlines for each news story. A Staff Writer produces more than 25 different headlines for each story. The Curator then selects 5-7 favorites from these suggestions for possible testing. The Managing Editor makes the final decision on which headlines to test. The Growth Team then selects two similar markets, creates trackable links for each possible headline, shares the article via these links in both markets, and determines the winning headline based on tracking of clicks and shares. This process allows Upworthy to effectively reach their target audience and achieve results comparable to companies with much larger budgets.
