400

words can make a difference

If you can’t say it in 400 words, well HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE to give your audience the essence of your story?

Make your article concise and your audience will thank you for it.

100 %

reader guarantee

When we say you can read our articles in less than two minutes, well, urm, you can.

Content is limited to 400 words.  If contributors want to say more, they can add an article attachment, video, profile, picture (or two), or whatever else.

Are you preaching to same audience?

Many bloggers, startup companies and content creators today find themselves preaching to the same old audience of followers on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. 

What they are looking for is a way to expand their audience and extend their content publishing reach.

That’s where Two Minute Reads comes in.   

Our app is for…

For Topic Expert Contributors

For individuals that want to develop a reputation for being an authority or mini celeb writer on their topic of interest, we offer guest contributor accreditations that come with a higher level of personal and article visibility.

For Startups

Startups need a voice to tell their story. Often, their audience grows on social media to a point and then falters. They need to extend their audience beyond the people they know and their brand halo. Two Minute Reads offers a way to amplify the innovative ideas of startups beyond social publishing to a broader audience.

For Bloggers

We’ve created a place that writers love; a place authors want to write. Packed into our web app are an array of productivity and optimization tools that make it easier for authors to be the best they can be. Things like SEO optimization, easy access to images, grammar tips and thesaurus tools. We’ve kept the user experience elegant and stripped back, so authors can focus on their creativity.

For Advisors and Industry Analysts

Want to be an authority on your subject? We encourage expert advisory and research firms to publish their reports and insightful content on our site, and we offer sponsorship to organizations so they can ‘own a topic’ for a period.

A Taste of our Topics

Content is curated into the hot topics our contributors want to talk about such as Business, Finance, Technology, and Innovation. Every year we will be running editorials on a series of IN FOCUS topics. For 2022, our topics will include:

Future Office

Once the hub of work activity, the office is changing, transforming into something new. For digital workers, it’s become more of a meeting place and point of collaboration than a place to be when working. What is the office of the future? And what technologies will drive it?

Digital Business

What does it mean to transform your business digitally? For this topic, we explore the business model and behavioral changes that digital innovations are making possible for consumers, companies, cities and society.

Digital Marketing

The purpose of every business is to make customers. Fail to get digital marketing right, and it becomes much harder to win customers these days.

Future of Work

The world of work has been massively impacted by the global pandemic. Aspirations of workers have pivoted towards wellbeing and lifestyle, while the baby boomer generation looks to retire early, and millennials battle for a new vision of their work future.

External Workforce

Once viewed as a fad, and a peculiarity of youthful generations, the External Workforce in its various forms is fast becoming the norm around the world. Firms are re-examining HR policies, IT systems, cultures, behaviors and management methods, to accommodate this new workforce and a Gig Economy.

Low/No Code

Applications development has a well-earned reputation for having contributed to the death of a great many business projects. It’s never easy to get apps right-first-time, harder still when manually coded. Through Low-Code and No-Code platforms, a new generation of entrepreneurs is approaching an old problem in refreshingly new ways.

Motor Dealer Systems

The motor trade has experienced a digital transformation, as more customers opt to buy cars online and spend less time in showrooms. For bricks and mortar dealerships, demands for IT systems and apps that cater for a new audience of buyers is on the rise.

Shared Services

Shared Services and Outsourcing Centers have become a central cog in organizations to manage core administrative functions like finance, marketing, HR, and IT. The model, first introduced in the ’70s and ’80s is experiencing a refresh this century thanks to the possibilities of digital and AI.
