During a recent podcast episode, Mike Weissman asked Anton Drozd, the editor-in-chief of iGaming News, a thought-provoking question: "How many dead projects have you had?" Anton's response was surprising—zero.
This is particularly noteworthy considering that typically, one in five projects tends to fail.
The latest episode of the PressAff podcast, recorded at G GATE CONF 26, features Anton Drozd as a guest. This episode marks a rare occasion where one editor-in-chief interviews another.
Topics discussed include:
- The cost of a post rising from $200 to $900: what changes led to a revenue increase of 3-4 times in just one month.
- Why IGN never removes ads—and how this practice has now been adopted by the entire niche.
- "We are selling air": how to justify the price of ad placements.
- The importance of media sales—and why Anton chose a 20-year-old junior over a seasoned senior.
- The launch formula: writing one line every day—and the third project is on the way.
Additionally, the episode features a debate among editors, a story about Kizaru, a shortage of talent, and the challenges expected in 2025.
