The strategy behind Forbes newsletter expansion

Randall Lane, the chief content officer and editor in chief of Forbes, writes about its newsletter strategy where it’s hiring business journalists to write about specific topics.

Lane writes, “Journalist Entrepreneurs will earn a salary and benefits like other staffers, and be able to leverage our editors, fact-checkers, lawyers and designers. But then they’ll split revenue with Forbes—evenly, without a cap—based on the subscription journalism they create. In addition to great writing for the magazine and Forbes.com, expect a fleet of world-class newsletters, among other new offerings.

“We already have Dwight Silverman onboard—the longtime Houston Chronicle tech editor carries so much weight that Michael Dell personally tweeted him best wishes when he jumped to Forbes. Suzanne Rowan Kelleher covers travel trends as deftly as Beyoncé commands the stage.

How to set and achieve your goals as an entrepreneur in 2021

Vaccine drive offers hope on the horizon for hard-hit services

The services sector contracted last month at its fastest pace since May as businesses struggled under the strain of a third nationwide lockdown, according to a survey.

The IHS Markit/CIPS purchasing managers’ index (PMI) fell from 49.4 to 39.5 in January. This was slightly better than the 38.8 forecast by economists but still considerably below the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction.

Tight restrictions on travel, leisure and hospitality have taken their toll on the services sector, which is suffering disproportionately because of the lockdowns. Staffing levels fell for the 11th month in a row and layoffs intensified, IHS Markit said

The manufacturing sector is holding up better as factories have been able to continue operating during the lockdown. IHS Markit’s PMI for the manufacturing sector came in at 54.1 last month. Although this was down from 57.5 in December, the sector is still growing despite the lockdowns.
