2021 only has a few hours left – then we’ll celebrate its end and welcome the new year. Last year I wrote at this point that I was glad that 2020 was over and that we could look forward to a better year. No, the pandemic is not over yet. And the climate is also heating up significantly. But there is something else that makes me really happy.
We at NextPit have really not had an easy time of it over the past few years. First there were the challenges of our society in the form of bankruptcy, only to be replaced by challenges that affected our entire society. The pandemic, the lockdown and all the associated consequences, but also one or the other Google update, had us firmly in a stranglehold in 2020.
Worth reading – the findings from a bankruptcy
It is absolutely not a matter of course that I am allowed to write these lines here. NextPit had its back to the wall a couple of times. Thanks to our really great team, however, we made perfect use of the year 2021. Our team has won great new colleagues in Rubens, Camila, Casi, Daniil, Dustin and Zois.
While Camila, Casi, Dustin, Rubens and Zois are writing articles for you, with Daniil we have won back a developer who knows the machine deck of the AndroidPIT and now NextPit website inside out. This has already made itself felt in many places – and a new homepage is finally planned for the first quarter of 2022!
At the same time, however, we have also achieved a lot behind the scenes and smoothed our business model in many places. Instead of investing energy in too many things at the same time, we now really focus exclusively on content. In addition to advertising on the website, which is still an important pillar of our sales, the topic of affiliation is also becoming increasingly important.
Our mission at NextPit is to help you discover exciting new technology products and to find the best smartphone, tablet or gadget for you. If you then buy from our partners via our website, we will receive a commission – without incurring additional costs for you. We find this model transparent for everyone involved, for both users and shops. Because real, measurable added value and benefits are generated for everyone involved.
We are of course also following the German, European and global smartphone landscape with great excitement. With the fall of Huawei, a large vacuum was created that is filled by Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme or Vivo, for example …
Our community is and remains the most important thing
Our pages have always been designed for community. Now some of you can certainly note that we have not been able to implement too few functions for our community in recent years. Please rest assured, dear NextPit community: We haven’t forgotten you! Our focus is initially on eliminating mistakes and ensuring that we can be paid for our work.
The latter is and will remain a challenge. Earning money with online journalism is really not a sure-fire success. Nevertheless, all NextPit members can our pages from level 40 onwards are completely free of advertising and free of charge read.
So it’s worth taking part.
A lot will happen in the coming year. We have a lot planned. There is, for example, the new homepage, which should invite people to read articles relatively soon. Or an improved system for our newsletters.
In any case, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, dear NextPit community, that you have remained loyal to us for so many years, reading, sharing, sometimes annoying, but mostly finding us good. Don’t worry – of course it’s no different for us.
“We are back” is our motto. We say this with confidence and not without pride. After the bankruptcy in 2019, many did not expect that we could make it. We are growing again, we are getting encouragement – and that motivates us to do more!
May 2022 be the year for us as NextPit in which we no longer have to repair, but can instead create something new step by step. NextPit is the place for communities around the digital lifestyle: smartphones, tablets, urban mobility and the operating systems all around.
We wish you and your families a happy new year with good luck and above all health. Please remain loyal to us in 2022 and promote NextPit properly. Then:
We are back!
