Josh Abramson has an impressive track record of building valuable companies. In 1999 Abramson started CollegeHumor.com and before he could even graduate, Abramson had received an offer of $9 million for the website. Abramson went on to start the popular video-sharing website Vimeo and apparel company BustedTees.com selling his collection of companies to Barry Diller's IAC/InterActiveCorp for a reported $20 million in 2006. After a short stint reporting to Diller, Abramson left IAC and started TeePublic, an innovative online marketplace that serves as a platform for artists and designers to showcase and sell their distinctive designs on a wide range of products, including t-shirts and hoodies. With Abramson at the helm, TeePublic grew to $41 million in revenue and $4.5 million in EBITDA before he decided to sell to RedBubble in a $41 million deal, $36 million of which was in cash.

When you see something funny and snap a great pic or grab an awesome video, you've got tons of options for where to post it. Instagram. YouTube. TikTok. Twitter. Reddit. Facebook. Maybe LinkedIn if it's not too NSFW.At the very least, posting your entertaining content might make your friends chuckle. If you're lucky, it could even go viral and give you a solid 15 minutes of fame. But what would you have done with that content before social media? Where would you have shared it?Josh Abramson helped solve that problem. When he was a freshman, he and his best friend from high school, Ricky Van Veen, launched a website called CollegeHumor.com. People would send College Humor their funny stories, pictures, and videos, and they would post them.Sure, we've moved well beyond that way of sharing user-generated content, but the 1990s were a different time on the Internet, and, as you'll hear in this episode of Web Masters, promoting new websites relied on different types of strategies.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.
