Listen "From Franchise to Flexibility: Expanding on TAPinto with the Hyperlocal News Network"
Episode Synopsis
Today Paul is joined by the first two time guest to the podcast, TAPinto and Hyperlocal News Network CEO Michael Shapiro.
Quick Note: If you haven't yet, go back and listen to season one, episode one to hear Michael's story of founding and growing TAPinto.
On this episode, Michael discusses his newest venture, the Hyperlocal News Network. The HNN offers the same robust back office and publishing capabilities of TAPinto, but with the flexibility of allowing publishers to keep their own branding and choose what features they'd like to use. The conversation covers who the HNN would work for, the benefits and cost savings that publishers can expect to see, onboarding processes, and a lot more.
