There are, however, various ways of selling digital products. You can start charging your readers for access to your digital magazine, or you can provide it for free, generating exclusive, high quality traffic to your online store.<\/h2>\n<p>Both sales strategies work well but there are few things every strategy has in common and which you should know about. In this article I will highlight <strong>five areas you must focus on in order to make your digital magazine profitable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p> <!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Deliver value<\/h2>\n<p>Surely there is a market need your magazine can, and should, fulfill. For example, there are lot of people passionate about fashion, so you can assume that beautiful, exclusive photos are what mainly grab their attention. Find the right angle and provide your readers with what they find most valuable. It can be literally anything. Give it a try.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #1:<\/h3>\n<p> Use Google Search to check what interests people the most.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Google.png?resize=650%2C135&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Google Search\" width=\"650\" height=\"135\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Google.png?w=650&amp;ssl=1 650w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Google.png?resize=300%2C62&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Google.png?resize=624%2C129&amp;ssl=1 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Choose the right distribution platform<\/h2>\n<p>You can run your magazine as a website, but there are better ways to deliver a value proposition to your readers. A properly chosen distribution platform speeds up your digital publishing business, as well as gathering special, well-profiled customers who are already willing to read and actively seeking a new reading experience. At PressPad we find the Apple App Store to be a great distribution platform. It offers <strong>millions of readers who can become your loyal customers<\/strong> when they find your magazine. We believe that publishers of all sizes should have the possibility to offer their magazines on the App Store. Since we have changed our model of cooperation with magazines, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.presspadapp.com\/\" title=\"\">get your magazine to the App Store with PressPad.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3. Build loyalty and trigger sales<\/h2>\n<p>Put coupons into every second issue of your digital magazine and feel confident mentioning this on the cover. Not only does it trigger sales, but it can also encourage customers to choose a subscription over a single issue purchase! Under-promise and over-deliver. Do your best to provide freebies and giveaways for subscribers, and people will love you. To accomplish this, offer space exchanges of your magazine to bloggers and other content creators.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #1:<\/h3>\n<p> Offer a free sample issue of your magazine on popular blogs like <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/\" title=\"Hongkiat blog\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> &#8211;  you\u2019ll build traffic and improve your  position in Google search results.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #2:<\/h3>\n<p> Offer a special edition of your magazine as a \u201cdaily deal\u201d with \u201cdeals\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.appsumo.com\/business\/\" title=\"deals distribution channel\" target=\"_blank\">distribution channels<\/a> so your magazine&#8217;s iPad App will reach hundred of thousands of subscribers.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #3:<\/h3>\n<p> Learn about <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mequoda.com\/articles\/digital-magazine-publishing\/8-ways-to-sell-digital-magazine-subscriptions\/\" title=\"sell digital magazine subscriptions\" target=\"_blank\">more<\/a> best practices in selling digital magazines.<\/p>\n<h2>4.
